Knitting is the second largest and most popular technique for making fabrics by interlacing yarns. The interest in this technique lies in the variety of applications in a wide range of fields. Designing a knitted fabric is a process that requires knowledge of how to transform yarns into structures and the ability to operate the knitting machine that makes this possible. The M1plus(R) software developed by Stoll by Karl Mayer is one of the leading solutions for knitwear designers and/or engineers, offering a balanced combination of technical and creative tools. The paper presents a modularized course aimed at preparing students to use the programming tools of the system CAD (Computer Aided Design) to design a knitted structure. In this first knowledge module, practical step-by-step instructions are given to help the learner retain the information. This micro-learning based material includes explanatory illustrations, short instructional videos, practical hints, and mini-quizzes aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practice. A blend of practice and learning, this digital method gives learners the right tools to develop and improve technical skills for CAD systems that meet today's industry needs.
