KNIT DESIGN METHOD, KNIT DESIGN DEVICE, AND DESIGN PROGRAM

摘要

The inclination of the external form of a knitted fabric, which is specified by design data, is calculated for each section, and a plurality of line segments are generated for each section to regularly decrease the stitches by a predetermined number with respect to a predetermined number of knitting courses. The length of each line segment is determined such that the total number of knitting courses of the line segment is equal to the number of knitting courses defined by the external form, and that the total number of stitches to be decreased is equal to the number of stitches to be decreased as defined by the external form. The line segments are placed for the corresponding sections and the adjacent line segments are connected to each other, thereby to generate a decrease line. The decrease line is generated that comparatively fits the contour of the external form and can be knitted efficiently and also can offer an orderly fashion line.
