“Imitation woven” style knitted fabric design

Knitted fabrics are rich in variety, In addition to the appearance of conventional knitted fabrics themselves, the appearance of conventional woven fabrics can also be imitated through different weaving processes and yarn materials. The characteristics of imitation woven style knitted fabrics are that they have the pattern, structure and texture effect of conventional woven fabrics, and the fabric elasticity is relatively small, flat and dense.

In recent years, woven-like knitted fabrics have become more and more popular, whether in major domestic and foreign exhibitions or in shows , the frequency of occurrence is also getting higher and higher. Therefore, the imitation woven style is gradually becoming one of the mainstream styles of knitted products.

1. Imitation shuttle Pattern design of knitted style knitted fabric

Knitting in a woven style When designing the graphic pattern of the fabric, try to make use of the style characteristics of the graphic pattern to improve the woven appearance of the knitted fabric. Since linear geometric patterns are composed of straight lines, their own style will add a tough and crisp visual effect to knitted fabrics. Therefore, they are a commonly used flat decorative pattern for imitation woven style knitted fabrics. At the same time, plant patterns can easily imitate the appearance of printed woven fabrics, so they are often used in imitation woven style pattern designs.

1. Straight line geometric pattern

①Stripes

Stripes in clothing design It is one of the more common decorative techniques. Its color changes are random and rich, the weaving process is relatively simple, and the texture effect is also easier to obtain.

During the weaving process, the yarn is constantly and regularly replaced to form the more common appearance of woven yarn-dyed striped fabrics. When making imitation woven style knitted fabrics, you can also make the stripe pattern more varied according to the knitting process characteristics of the knitted fabric. Use variegated yarns combined with less elastic metal wires, and the same color stripe patterns are interspersed with different shades to form a woven pattern. The dark striped jacquard pattern is common in fabric design, and the fabric is smooth and dense, with a stronger imitation woven style.

②plaid pattern

The plaid pattern is horizontal and vertical, consistent with the warp and weft direction of the plain weave of woven fabrics, and changesRich, so it is widely used in woven fabric pattern design.

The plaid pattern of conventional imitation woven style knitted fabrics generally uses jacquard weave, such as sesame dots The jacquard weave has rich variations in plaid patterns, and the fabric is flat and has low ductility.

In the design process of knitted fabrics, it is necessary to fully The special effect of yarn is used to enrich the imitation woven style design of the fabric. for example. A 4-color jacquard weave is used to weave a plaid pattern with different horizontal and vertical widths. At the same time, the front and back knitting weave is used to make the middle part concave, and the layered texture of the fabric surface is richer.

It should be noted that since the plaid pattern is Woolen fabrics are often used in autumn and winter, and sometimes the shrinking process or sanding process is used to make the appearance of knitted fabrics closer to the texture of woven woolen fabrics.

③Herringbone pattern and back pattern

Herringbone pattern and zigzag pattern are one of the commonly used dark patterns in woven fabrics. Therefore, in order to make imitation woven-style knitted fabrics have a stronger woven fabric style Dark pattern designs are generally used.

Herringbone and zigzag patterns are often made of single-sided plain fabrics, single-sided two-color fabrics, double-sided two-color fabrics, etc. Formation, the changes in pattern size, yarn thickness, arrangement and combination, color shape, etc. are relatively implicit and regular. During the design process, the knitting and weaving technology can also be used to change the color and material of the yarn to create a more beautiful pattern. Interesting and rich herringbone and zigzag patterns

As shown in Figure b, the pattern The design has an antique style, with matte cotton gauze or linen gauze, and is embellished with metal wire, which is full of the flavor of ancient brocade. In picture c, a floating thread weave is used, but short floating threads are pulled out of white roving and black spun yarn is used as the bottom to make the floating thread part of the herringbone pattern more prominent. The fabric looks dense and dense, fully imitating the autumn and winter woven herringbone pattern. The appearance of the coat fabric; in Figure d, the floating threads pulled out by the floating thread organization are arranged and combined to form a zigzag pattern, with richer details.

It can be seen that herringbone and zigzag patterns can not only be used as dark textures, but also can be designed as pattern elements. Adding changes in yarn material will make the appearance more innovative.

④Houndstooth

Houndstooth is a classic pattern that has been used in tweed fabrics since the 19th century. In recent years It has also begun to be widely used in knitted products.

Houndstooth pattern is usually used on outerwear, so the fabric is relatively tough and crisp. Houndstooth fabrics are generally woven using jacquard weave to make the entire fabric more effective.�Smooth and dense. However, when designing imitation woven-style knitted fabrics, it is necessary to make full use of the technological characteristics of knitted fabrics. For example, you can use the unique organization of knitted weaving technology to achieve pattern effects. In picture b, the houndstooth pattern is formed by changing the length of the floating threads in the floating thread structure. There are obvious concave and convex changes, and the appearance of the fabric is thicker and richer.

⑤Other straight line geometric patterns

The application of ethnic patterns to imitation woven style knitted fabrics is a relatively innovative design. As shown in the picture, this pattern imitates the characteristic clothing of the Dai people in China. It takes advantage of the particularity of knitting technology and is composed of complex geometric patterns of different sizes that are combined and arranged. The pattern is complex and the style is strong. Therefore, the use of jacquard tissue and thread-changing technology can make the ethnic patterns on clothing endlessly varied. At the same time, by adding needle drawing technology to the weaving process, pleats common in ethnic minority costumes can be knitted, which is fresh and interesting.

Multiple pattern combination designs are shown in the figure. On the left of the picture, the herringbone pattern, plaid pattern, stripes and zigzag pattern are rearranged according to the design, making the pattern complex, changeable and creative. On the right of the picture, stripes and plaids are redesigned, and the style and visual effect are completely different from those on the left.

Combined with the characteristics of knitting technology, it can be customized according to the style of clothing The pattern is redesigned to fully reflect the characteristics of imitation woven style knitted fabrics. For example, the application of ethnic minority patterns on imitation woven-style knitted fabrics is also an innovative application of linear geometric patterns.

2. Plant pattern

Whether it is a concrete plant pattern or an abstract plant pattern, it has a good decorative effect.

① Printing process

When designing plant patterns on woven fabrics, the simpler method is the printing process. Therefore, printed woven fabrics are also more common.

To achieve the appearance of printed woven fabrics, the most commonly used knitted fabric weave is sesame dot jacquard. The sesame dot jacquard weave can achieve complex and delicate patterns. At the same time, the fabric is relatively flat, dense, has low ductility, and has a certain degree of stiffness, basically in line with the characteristics of conventional printed woven fabrics.

It should be noted that due to the different weaving processes of knitted fabrics and woven fabrics, when designing patterns on woven fabrics, in order to facilitate printing, most of the patterns are regular. Patterns, such as square continuous patterns, etc. When designing patterns for knitted fabrics, since the patterns are edited in advance in computer software before the pieces are knitted, the patterns are not limited to regular patterns, but can have complete patterns with rich changes, and can be used more flexibly, thus fully embodying characteristics of knitted fabrics.

When designing plant patterns for imitation woven-style knitted fabrics, you should also pay attention to the use of fancy yarns. Appropriate embellishment in the pattern will make the fabric pattern texture richer. Interesting.

②Embroidery craft

Except for use In addition to printing technology, embroidery technology is also used to form plant patterns on the surface of woven fabrics. Since woven fabrics have less elasticity, they are easier to embroider on their surfaces, but they are slightly less comfortable.

For example, home cushions break the habit of conventional woven fabrics for home products and use flatter weft-knitted forming fabrics for embroidery. Not only are woven The appearance of the fabric is better, and the touch is softer and more comfortable. It is suitable for daily use at home and fully reflects the characteristics of knitted fabrics.

③ Knitting technology

In the process of designing imitation woven style knitted fabrics. While imitating the appearance of woven fabrics, we must also make full use of knitting technology to enrich the details of the fabric as much as possible and reflect the characteristics of knitting technology.
