The Brother KH-868 is a standard-gauge punch card knitting machine with 200 needles on a metal bed and a 4.5 mm needle pitch. It knits finer yarns such as 4 and 3 ply fingering weight and sock yarn, producing fabric that looks close to commercially made knitwear. Punch cards automate thread lace, tuck, slip, weaving, Fair Isle and single motif isolation stitches, and the included lace carriage adds lace work out of the box. It suits hand knitters who want faster, more consistent garment knitting and accept a learning curve and a fixed needle width.

Buyers describe the machine as great and report it works as expected for standard-gauge punch card knitting.
This is a standard gauge punch card knitting machine, equivalent to the Brother KH868. It has a metal bed with 200 needles at a 4.5 mm needle pitch, enough to knit most garment sizes. It is a manual machine and knits finer yarns, such as 4 and 3 ply fingering weight and sock yarn.
Punch cards create stitch patterns automatically. Thread lace, tuck, slip, weaving, Fair Isle and single motif isolation are all supported. Punch cards use 24 stitch-wide pattern repeats, and most 24-stitch cards from other knitting machine brands are interchangeable. A basic pattern card set is included, and you can make your own with an optional PM3 puncher and blank cards.
Without a ribber it knits stockinet stitch. Adding the optional KR850 ribber allows ribbed stitches, such as cuffs and collars. The machine accepts any Brother attachments made for the KH868.
