GC: S/R and R/S/R

Because the GC can not operate with ndls selected, the “Hold” position is NWP. To facilitate this operation requires a strand of W/Y, 3 times the distance of the ndls in WP.

To put the ndls into “Hold”, bring the required amount into “E”. Beginning on the carriage side, Place the strand of W/Y into the hooks of the first 2 ndls. Holding both tails, pull the ndls back to NWP. Holding the ndl butts, adjust the yarn so the shorter tail is next to the carriage. The W/Y travels from the gate pegs, across the bed, into the hook, and back across the bed for each ndl. With the GC, K 2 Rs. Repeat for each S/R.
