Design
The design unit is the same for all Craft Skills and consists of 5 units
- Colour
- Line
- Texture
- Shape
- Form
Based on these Design Elements design ideas are developed using a variety of design techniques. The visual sources for design development can be drawn from primary (actual objects) or secondary (photographs, pictures or images from the web) sources.
Hand Knitting
The assessments for hand knitting are:
- A jumper with inset sleeves
- A cardigan/jacket with fastenings and sleeves not inset
- An item for interior use
- A fashion accessory
- A basic block for knitted fabrics

Each item will illustrate different stitch construction(s). One item must use a mixed stitch construction chosen by the student. Each garment will show a different shape/style of neckline. Each garment/item will be made using a different yarn or yarn mix. At least one item will show the use of a minimum of two colours. Students will produce the patterns to their own original design.

All items must be completed using a single bed machine. Garments 1 and 2 must use a stitch structure selected by the student after sampling. Each garment will show a different shape/style of neckline. One item will include short row shaping. Students will produce the patterns to their own original design for all items made. A range of fibre content and yarn types must be used including as a minimum, one textured yarn, one yarn finer than 4ply and one man-made fibre yarn.
