Abstract:

For the fully-fashioned knitwear, upper garments of typical style were taken as research object to improve its fundamental pattern design accuracy and its manujacturing efficiency, based on in-depth research on theory of fully-fashioned knitting process, as well as the requirements of human body characteristics on the functionality and design of fully-fashioned Knitwear. On the basis of clothing pattern theory combined with the design principal of fully-fashioned knitwear, the fundamental pattern applicable for four-bed computerized flat knitting machine in both horizontal and vertical knitting was obtained by combining two-dimensional and three-dimensional design. Examples of the fundamental pattern and practically knitted clothing demonstrate that the pattern conforms to the design and forming requirements of the fully-fashioned knitwear. According to the practice, application of the fundamental pattern in fully-fashioned knitwear can realize various design of jully-fashioned knitwear quickly by pattern exchange and modification, which offers an effective approach to develop new style knitwear.

Key words: fully-fashioned knitwear, human body feature, pattern design, forming method
