Flat-knit fabric pattern design and technique based on jacquard technology

To further improve designers' ability in developing complex patterns and using all kinds of technology,this paper discussed the design and application of flat knitting,figure pattern and intarsia,with actual examples that were executed by M1 Plus system from STOLL.Weaving process and technical details were given.Key points of jacquard pattern design were investigated in terms of using parts,weave and structure,yarn selection,and technological difficulties.The conclusion showed that as far as designing is concerned,intarsia is more difficult than jacquard,so the key technology of intarsia is to control the number of knitting area,and focus on weaving edge to avoid multi-area transition at the same time.
