The Innovation Applications Of Line Pattern In Knitwear Design

Knitwear as a major branch of the world’s garment industry with its comfortable, elegant, soft and elastic features, has been much favored by the market. In recent years, with the rapid development and gradual maturity of printing technology, the apparel fabric market is flooded with colorful printing knitted and woven fabrics. In this situation, practitioners begin to pay more attention to the innovation design of printing pattern from complex to simple. Therefore, there is the naked eye 3D- effect printing patterns in the market. Based on the industry basis, pattern diversity and the high popularizing rate of knitwear, the combination design between knitwear and patterns has a broad space to develop. Besides, with the more perfect function of Computerized flat knitting machine knitting technology, the application of unconventional materials in the field of clothing, the elasticity of knitted material itself as well as the good application of three-dimensional effect in woven clothing design, all that have provided a more extensive reference material for the innovation and application of line pattern in knitted garments design.Starting from the definition of the line pattern and basing on optical illusion effect of line pattern, this paper summarizes application tact of line pattern in woven and knitwear garments design. Then summarize and research the application tact of these patterns. And apply these patterns to the line pattern innovative design of knitwear in the way of absolutely new combination. This paper list, analyze and summarize the related line pattern application’s garments that are published in the four fashion weeks from 2014 to 2015. All the clothes belong to spring and summer, early autumn, autumn and winter, holiday series as well as highly customized series. Taking the knitwear as the principal thing, draw lots of optical illusion line pattern and clothing effect diagrams in the process of researching line pattern’application in knitwear innovative design as well as do lots of experiences of woven pieces.
