Abstract: To improve the efficiency for design crepe weave, the generation method of derivative crepe weave matrix based on Kronecker product was studied in present study. According to the design rule for derivative crepe weave, the weave matrix resulted from different methods such as embedding method, reinforcement method and replacement method to the prototype crepe weave were fulfilled by Kronecker product method. The results indicated that Kronecker product can be used to design derivative crepe weave based on embedding method, reinforcement method and replacement method conveniently and automatic generate crepe weave matrix with different styles due to different embedded weave, different reinforcement method or different replaced weave. This method expands design idea and provides an effective tool for crepe weave.
