Knitted fabrics are rich in variations, in addition to the appearance of conventional knitted fabrics themselves, but also through different organisational processes and yarn materials to imitate the appearance of conventional woven fabrics. Imitation woven style knitted fabrics are characterised by the pattern, structure and texture effect of conventional woven fabrics, and the fabrics are relatively less elastic, flat and dense.
In recent years, imitation woven style knitted fabrics are becoming more and more popular, whether in major exhibitions at home and abroad, or in the show, the frequency of appearance is also more and more high, so the imitation woven style is gradually becoming one of the mainstream styles of knitted products.
When carrying out the flat pattern design of knitted fabrics with imitation woven style, we should try to make use of the style characteristics of flat pattern to improve the appearance of woven sense of knitted fabrics. As the straight line geometric pattern is composed of straight lines, its own style will add a hard and sturdy visual effect to the knitted fabrics, so it is the more commonly used plane decorative pattern of imitation woven style knitted fabrics. At the same time, the plant pattern can easily imitate the appearance of printed woven fabrics, so it is also commonly used in imitation woven style pattern design.
Stripes are one of the more common decorative techniques in garment design, with rich and random colour changes, simple knitting process and easy texture effect. In the process of knitting, the regular replacement of yarns can form the more common appearance of woven striped fabrics. In the imitation woven style knitted fabric timing, according to the knitted fabric knitting process characteristics can also make the stripe pattern changes more abundant, the use of variegated yarn combined with less elasticity of the wire, the same colour stripe pattern shades of interspersed with the formation of woven fabric design common dark stripe jacquard pattern, and the fabric is flat and dense, imitation woven style is more intense.
The check pattern is horizontal and vertical, the warp and weft direction is the same as that of woven fabrics, and there are rich changes, so it is widely used in the design of woven fabrics. The check pattern of conventional woven-like knitted fabrics generally adopts jacquard organisation, such as sesame point jacquard organisation, which has rich changes in the check pattern, and the fabric is flat and small ductility.
In the design process of knitted fabrics, it is necessary to make full use of the special effect of the yarn to make the fabric imitation woven style design richer. For example. The use of 4-color jacquard tissue knitting horizontal and vertical width of the check pattern, at the same time, the use of positive and negative needle tissue to make the middle part of the depression, the fabric surface of the layers of texture is more rich.
It should be noted that, due to the check pattern in autumn and winter tweed fabrics are used more, sometimes also use the strong shrinkage process or abrasion process, etc., so that the appearance of knitted fabrics closer to the woven tweed texture.
Herringbone and zigzag patterns are one of the dark patterns commonly used in woven fabrics, therefore, in order to make imitation woven style knitted fabrics with a more intense woven fabric style will generally be used in the dark pattern design. Herringbone and zigzag patterns are often formed by single-sided plain fabric, single-sided two-color fabric, double-sided two-color fabric, etc., and the changes in the size of the pattern, yarn thickness, arrangement and combination, and colour shapes are relatively subtle and regular. In the design process, you can also use the knitting process, the colour and material of the yarn to make changes to form a more interesting and rich herringbone pattern, back to the word pattern.
