1. Take advantage of the elasticity of knitted fabrics
Knitted fabrics have good stretchability, and can minimize the seams, folds, splicing, etc. designed for styling during model design. Secondly, knitted fabrics are generally not suitable for modeling with push-back and ironing techniques, but instead use the elasticity of the fabric itself or appropriate treatment of folds to fit the body curve. Then the elasticity of the fabric becomes an important basis in the design and production of the model.
The pattern of woven clothing is generally larger than the area required to wrap the human body, that is, it has a certain amount of looseness relative to the human body; and knitted clothing depends on the structure of the fabric used. The yarn is related to the structure) Not only does it not leave loose when designing the model, its model size can be the same as the human circumference size, or it can be reduced by considering the elastic coefficient.
Second, the use of curling of knitted fabrics
The curling property of knitted fabric is the phenomenon of edge fabric wrapping caused by the disappearance of the internal stress of the fabric edge loop. Hemming is the deficiency of knitted fabrics. It can cause uneven seams at the garment pieces or changes in the size of the edges of the garment, which ultimately affects the overall shape of the garment and the size of the garment. But not all knitted fabrics have hemming, but only fabrics with individual structures such as weft knitted fabrics. For such fabrics, the size of the fabric can be drawn and ribbed by adding size Or we can solve it by piping and inlaying adhesive strips on the edges of the clothing. The curling properties of some knitted fabrics have been eliminated during the post-finishing of the fabric, avoiding the hassle of model design.
It should be pointed out that on the basis of understanding the performance of fabrics, many designers can counteract the disadvantages and use the curling properties of the fabric to design it on the neckline and cuffs of the model, so that the clothing has a special appearance style, which is refreshing. , Especially in the weaving of shaped garments, it can also use its curling to form a unique pattern or dividing line.

3. Pay attention to the looseness of knitted fabrics
Knitted fabrics are different from woven fabrics in style and characteristics. The style of their clothing should not only emphasize the advantages of the fabric but also overcome its shortcomings. Due to the looseness of individual knitted fabrics, it is necessary to pay attention to some knitted fabrics in the design and production of models. Do not use too much exaggeration, try not to save roads, cut lines, and should not have too many stitching seams to prevent the occurrence of knitted loops. The disengagement of clothing affects the applicability of clothing, and simple and soft lines should be used to coordinate with the soft and fit style of knitwear.
