Does a model know a knit stitch is wider than it is tall?

A knit stitch is wider than it is tall, so a bean drawn on square cells knits up squashed. I asked for a cup cosy chart with coffee beans "drawn so the beans come out the right shape in the finished fabric", which only works if the model knows this.

Five of six models knew that stitch is wider than it is tall. GPT-6.1 Sol, Opus 5.5, Haiku 5.5 and DeepSeek 4.1 Flash drew stitch-shaped cells in all three runs, and GPT-6 Luna in two. GLM 5.3 flashx drew tall cells instead.

But of the models that got the stitch shape right, only Sol passed every check in all three runs. The others drew beans a little too round to knit up as beans.

The 18 runs cost $0.92.
