eKnitter + DesignaKnit 9: A Powerful New Connection
We’re excited to announce that DesignaKnit 9 will soon offer native support for eKnitter — making it easier than ever for Brother knitters to enjoy a modern, wireless workflow.
What is eKnitter?
eKnitter is a certified hardware upgrade for the Brother KH910, KH950, and KH950i. It replaces the original main board with a modern upgrade — built for today’s knitters.
- A modern upgrade for the KH910 or KH950.
- A practical solution for KH950i machines that need a replacement main circuit board (which is becoming harder to find).
How Does eKnitter Work Today?
Currently, eKnitter is delivered with open-source software that lets you send pixel-based patterns over Wi-Fi — no cables, no fuss. Just upload an image file and knit.
With the upcoming firmware update for your eKnitter, you’ll also be able to use your eKnitter directly with your purchased DesignaKnit software — no extra steps or converters needed.

I can’t wait, when will the DAK connection be ready?
Hi,
I’m so excited about this news.
When will be the firmware update, it will be free?
You will sell the program DesignaKnit or I have to buy to Softbyte?
Congratulations on the development and updates!
Thanks!
Yes, the update will be free for all eKnitter owners.
We don’t sell DesignaKnit — you’ll need to purchase it separately from an official reseller.
