The '''Brother KH-881''' is a highly regarded standard gauge punchcard knitting machine. It is functionally very similar to the KH-891, with its most notable feature being the integrated '''Knitleader''' (a built-in charting device for garment shaping).

== Features ==
* '''Built-in Knitleader:''' Allows the knitter to follow full-scale paper patterns for shaping without manual calculation.
* '''Punchcard System:''' Standard 24-stitch repeat for fair isle, tuck, slip, and weave.
* '''Lace Capability:''' Usually bundled with a dedicated lace carriage.
* '''Sponge Bar:''' Uses a standard 4.5mm Brother sponge bar.

== Maintenance ==
As with most vintage Brother machines, the most common point of failure is a degraded [[Sponge Bar]]. Before use, ensure the needles are properly pressed down by a fresh foam strip to avoid carriage jams.
