Full Milano knit has three courses per repeat, with one course of 1×1 rib, one course of plain on the other side of the fabric, and the other course of plain on the other side.
Half Milano knit
Half Milano is made up of one rib course and one plain course always on the face side of the fabric. The resultant fabric is an unbalanced structure, with a different appearance on both sides. Half Milano is seldom knitted as piece goods, it is used for a sweater for course gauge (5 to 7-gauge v bed machine with woollen or acrylic yarns).
