Knitted fabrics vary widely. In addition to the appearance of conventional knitted fabrics themselves, they can also imitate the appearance of conventional woven fabrics by different organization techniques and yarn materials. The knitted fabric of imitation woven style is characterized by the pattern, structure and texture effect of conventional woven fabric, and the elasticity of the fabric is relatively small, smooth and dense.
In recent years, the knitting fabric of imitation shuttle weave style is more and more popular, no matter be in domestic and foreign each show in meeting, still be in show field, the frequency that appears is higher and higher also, accordingly, imitation shuttle weave style is becoming one of the mainstream style of knitting product gradually.
In the plane pattern design of knitting fabric like woven style, we should try to use the style characteristics of plane pattern to improve the woven fabric appearance. As a result of straight line geometric design is composed of straight line, its own style will give knitting fabric to add strong and crisp visual effect, so it is the plane decoration pattern that imitative woven style knitting fabric is more commonly used. At the same time, the plant pattern is easy to imitate the appearance of printed woven fabric, so it is often used to imitate woven style pattern design.
1, straight line geometric pattern
1) stripes
Stripe in costume design is one of the more common decorative techniques, its color changes at will rich, weaving process is simpler, texture effect is easier to get.
In the process of weaving, changing the yarn regularly can form the more common appearance of shuttle yarn-dyed striped fabric. In imitation of woven knitting fabric style timing, can also according to the knitting fabric weaving process characteristics make stripe pattern change more rich, use of less variegated yarn combined with elastic metal wire, the same color stripes penetration depth collocation, formed the common dark stripe jacquard design in the design of woven fabrics, and fabrics leveling &compaction, imitation woven style more strongly.
(2) the plaid
The plaid pattern is horizontal and vertical, which is consistent with the warp and weft direction of plain weave fabric and varies widely, so it is widely used in the pattern design of woven fabric.
Jacquard fabric, such as sesame dot jacquard fabric, is commonly used in the checkered pattern of conventional woven fabrics, with rich changes in the checkered pattern, and the fabric is flat and low ductility.
In the process of knitting fabric design, we should make full use of the special effect of yarn, so that the fabric of imitation woven style design more rich. For example. The 4-color jacquard fabric is used to weave the plaid patterns with different widths. At the same time, the positive and negative needle fabric is used to make the middle part of the depression, so that the fabric surface layer texture is richer.
It should be noted that due to the use of plaid patterns in autumn and winter woolen fabrics, sometimes strong shrinkage process or wool grinding process will be used to make the appearance of knitted fabrics more close to the woven fabric texture.
③ Herringbone pattern and back pattern
Herringbone pattern and back word pattern are one of the commonly used dark pattern patterns of woven fabrics, therefore, in order to make the knitting fabric with a more intense woven fabric style, dark pattern design is generally used.
Herringbone pattern and back word pattern patterns are often formed by single-sided plain texture, single-sided two-color texture, double-sided two-color texture and so on. The changes of pattern size, yarn thickness, arrangement and combination, color shape and so on are relatively implicit rules. In the design process, you can also use the knitting process to change the color and material of the yarn to form a more interesting herringbone pattern and zigzagging pattern.
As shown in Figure B, the pattern design is in an archaize style, with matte cotton yarn or hemp yarn and embellished with metal wire, which is full of the taste of ancient brocade. In Figure C, the floating line is used, but the short floating line is pulled out from the white roving and the black yarn is made as the bottom, which makes the floating line part of the herm-bone pattern more prominent. The fabric looks thick and dense, which fully imitated the appearance of the autumn and winter woven herm-bone pattern coat fabric. In Figure D, the floating lines are arranged and combined through the floating line organization to form a pattern with more varied details.
Therefore, herringbone and zigzag patterns can not only be used as dark weave, but also can be designed as pattern elements, and the appearance of the yarn will be more innovative if the yarn material changes.
(4) plover
Plaid is a classic pattern that has been used in tweed fabric since the 19th century, and has been widely used in knitted products in recent years.
The plaid pattern is usually used on outerwear, so the fabric is relatively strong and crisp. Jacquard fabric is generally woven to make the whole fabric smooth and compact. However, in the design of woven fabric, we should make full use of the technological characteristics of knitted fabric. For example, we can use the unique organization of knitted fabric to achieve the pattern effect. In Figure B, the plagata pattern is formed by the change of the length of the floating line organization, with obvious concave and convex changes, and the appearance of the fabric is thicker and richer.
⑤ Other geometric patterns of straight lines
It is a relatively innovative design that the ethnic minority pattern is applied to the knitting fabric of imitation woven style. As shown in the figure, this pattern imitates the characteristic clothing of Chinese Flower-waist Dai nationality, and is composed of complex and varied geometric patterns of different sizes, which are combined and arranged by using the particularity of knitting technology. The pattern is complex and the style is strong. Therefore, the use of jacquard organization collocation thread change process, can make the clothing on the national pattern of endless changes. At the same time, by adding the needle drawing process in the weaving process, the common pleats in ethnic costumes can be woven, which is fresh and interesting.
A variety of pattern combination design as shown in the figure. On the left, herringbone, plaid, stripe and zigzag pattern are rearranged according to the design to create a complex and creative pattern. On the right, stripes and plaid are redesigned, with a completely different style and visual effect than on the left.
Combined with the characteristics of knitting technology, the pattern can be redesigned according to the style of clothing, which fully embodies the characteristics of knitting fabric of imitation shuttle style. For example, the application of ethnic minority patterns in woven fabrics is also an innovative application of linear geometric patterns.
