Final image
CU
Process 01 simple line shape of part of the knitting pattern
Process 02 array of points, K shape grouped
Process 03 copied knitting pattern to points
04 remove white and add noise (probably could have removed the whites earlier come to think of it...)
CU of swept strands
Knit main
Knit 'soft bits'
Both knit main and soft bits geo are combined for the final render
