DESIGN DEVICE, DESIGN PROGRAM, AND DESIGN METHOD FOR KNITTED FABRIC USING INTARSIA JACQUARD

摘要

A storage part is provided to store appropriate conditions for applying intarsia knitting to color patterns in a knitted fabric based on the pattern shape and knitting width. A knitting area satisfying the conditions for applying intarsia jacquard knitting is used as a floating knitting area. Intarsia jacquard knitting is assigned to a first knitting area with the same color combination on the left and right in the knitting course direction in the floating knitting area, and intarsia knitting is assigned to a second knitting area with different color combinations on the left and right in the knitting course direction, while intarsia knitting is also assigned to knitting areas other than the floating knitting area. Knitting areas to be used for intarsia can be differentiated automatically from knitting areas to be used for intarsia jacquard.
