Spike – S Protein Knitting Pattern for Machine Knitting (English Version)

Basic Info

For the sample in the images, we used the additional materials you can see below. If you are a casual knitter and would like to join this project remotely for fun, you can choose whichever needle size according to the threads you use. Also the instructions are written with the Silver Reed machine phrases. We are still working to translate it to Passap and Brothers instructions.

  • Gauge: Standard Gauge
  • Yarn: Cotton Yarn Nm 2/30, any color of choices, use 2 strands at a time
  • Thread: Melange threads, for example the sample used Gütermann Sulky Cotton 30, multicolor
  • Antenna tension: 7
  • Dial tension: 7

Additional Material

  • Print-Out Tags & Strings to hang the tags. The tags can be downloaded here 
  • Row Counter (on the machine)

Basic Structure

We have three basic structures in this knitting pattern: Alpha Helix, 3-10 Helix, and Betasheet/Plainknit

The pattern of Alpha Helix:

Alpha Helix, Machine Knitting

The pattern of 310 Helix:

3-10 Helix, Machine Knitting

 

 

The pattern of Betasheet / Plain Knit:

It is basically knitting all the needles. So turn the Russel Levers to II for both directions, and knit two rows.

Plain Knit

The Complete Pattern

The pattern is written is the format of:

[row number]  Instruction for knitting

The spike protein consists of 3 subunits, Chain A, Chain B, and Chain C. They are almost identical with minor differences.
