Ripple patterns design of knitted fabrics on flat knitting machine.

This paper mainly analysized and studied the design of ripple flower pattern. From the aspect of technology, we summarized some knitted structures such as obverse and reverse stitch structure, raised line structure, racked rib structure, jacquard structure, tuck structure, loop transfer structure, float structure, intarsia and other special structures. In addition, we also described the means and technology to achieve ripple pattern with the structures and developed some new products with STOLL computerized flat knitting machine. Based on technology, we obtained ripple pattern effect by technology changes. It meaned to widen the space of sweater design and enriched art expressive force of sweater texture in order to provide wider inspiration origin and creation idea to sweater designer.
