A pattern for the Juki Lace attachment to the Singer KE-1200 knitting machine. The pattern is 12 stitches wide. Juki is a Japanese manufacturer of industrial sewing machines that moved into the home market, under the slogan "Making industrial-level technologies available to general consumers."

Using a pattern like this was not as simple as inserting the card and pressing "Go". As the knitting progressed, operator actions were required at certain points. The card contains icons showing what action to take at a particular row.
