<planning> 1. **Design Strategy**: - User requested a "roses pattern", beginner difficulty, for worsted yarn on a knitting machine. To keep the execution beginner-friendly while producing a clear rose motif, I will use a plain stockinette panel knitted on a standard-gauge (4.5 mm spacing) machine and add the roses afterward by duplicate stitch (surface embroidery). This avoids complex two-color carriage work or transfers for the motif, yet produces a clear, repeatable rose design and keeps machine instructions straightforward. - Edge finishing will use the ribber for tidy 1x1 rib selvedges/turning hems. The main knitting will be single-bed stockinette on the main bed; ribber is used only for edges and for a tidy tubular cast-off/hem. - All machine-specific needs (bed configuration, tension dials, carriage positions COL/COR, needle movements, tools, RC checkpoints) will be stated explicitly. 2. **Construction Plan**: - Item: Rose Panel / Scarf (rectangular panel suitable as a scarf or a panel to sew into another garment). - Construction: bottom-up, tubular-ribbed edges, single-bed stockinette body, duplicate-stitch roses applied after knitting. - Sequence: waste yarn cast-on with ravel cord → set up ribber and create 1x1 rib edge → knit stockinette to length → 1x1 rib bind-off → remove waste yarn → rehang and finish hem if desired → duplicate-stitch roses in a simple repeated grid. 3. **Quality Assurance**: - Potential pain points: getting the ribber 1x1 set-up correct for the cast-on; tension choice for worsted on a standard gauge machine (too tight = pulls, too loose = sloppy); accurate placement of duplicate-stitch roses (need clear coordinate system). - Mitigations: explicit needle numbers and transfer instructions provided, plain-knit carriage settings only (no patterning), frequent RC checkpoints (every 50 rows + key positions), and precise calculations so stitch counts match gauge. 4. **Final Calculations**: - Assumed working gauge for worsted on a standard-gauge (4.5 mm) machine (typical, but please swatch): 20 stitches / 10 cm and 28 rows / 10
