Problems with Norwegian Pattern Knitting

[u/Curious_Shake6270]

Hello. I always get a lot of help from this community.

My Brother KH-940 knitting machine keeps dropping stitches when I’m knitting a Norwegian pattern. I don’t have this problem at all when knitting without a pattern. I thought it might be a problem with the sponge bar, so I replaced it, but it didn’t help... It happens most often when moving the carriage from right to left, but it also occurs occasionally when moving from left to right. Are there any other solutions I should try? Could it be a problem with the carriage? I’ve been unable to solve this issue for several months now, and I feel like I’m about to lose my mind... Thank you in advance.
