knitting_parser
A library designed to assist with parsing knitting patterns.
There seems to be no real standard for the syntax of a knitting pattern, so we are going to do our best at describing our own.
Syntax
- All stitch names are lower case
- A comma
,separates stitches - Stitches can be grouped in parenthesis
(and) - Multipliers can be provided after a group or stitch:
k x12for twelve knits in a row - Groups can be embedded:
(k, (p, ml)x2)x2to producek, p, ml, p, ml, k, p, ml, p, ml
