Cast on before the kettle boils

The 24 in the name is a stitch count. Capitals in this font are 24 stitches tall, and on a knitting machine that number, together with the weight of the yarn, decides how big the letters come out on the fabric.

Sarah Cadigan-Fried based the Jacquard fonts on a Victorian needlepoint alphabet Heinrich Kuehn designed in Berlin around 1880, expanding it in the process. The thinking behind them is that a knitting font is a pixel font where the pixel is a stitch. Machine knitting came first in the plan, but the letters work for hand knitting, needlework or bedazzling a jacket as well. If you knit them in Fair Isle, mind the floats behind the long runs of color.

This is the Charted cut. For the plain version, look up Jacquard 24.
