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 x12 for twelve knits in a row
Groups can be embedded: (k, (p, ml)x2)x2 to produce k, p, ml, p, ml, k, p, ml, p, ml
