PASSAP Form Programme Generator

This generator will help you write E6000 form programmes for basic sweater shapes. The form programmes will also work on the Form Computer. This generator is based on original research I conducted on my E6000. For more information on using form programmes please consult your E6000 and/or Form Computer manual.

A more advanced form programme editor is also available.

This generator is recommended for experienced Passap knitters. Please do a form test at the console before knitting with your form programme. While the form programmes are believed to be accurate and complete, there is no guarantee that they will suitable for your purposes or that you will like what you knit. If the form test gives bad results, but the form programme generated doesn't list any errors, please send me a screen shot of this page to support@passappal.com and I will look into it.

For best results please make a swatch with the yarn you intend to use and a chart of your fabric piece before beginning. The chart should contain a sketch of the shape and measurements recorded in centimeters, rows, and stitches.
