Application of dart transfer in the transformation of forming knitting pattern

Abstract

The dart transfer of knitted pattern can be used to simplify the knitting process and improve the fabric appearance. This paper expounds the influence of the dart transfer on fabrics in the transformation of forming knitting patterns. By comparing the pattern, knitting process and fabric appearance before and after dart transfer, it Puts forward that the dart transfer between mutually parallel directions are allowed, but the dart transfer between directions perpendicular to each other are prohibited. It proposes the restriction on angle size of the dart transfer and gives a rotation method to overcome it that is to rotate the pattern to keep the number of stitches constant. The article studies an application example of the dart transfer to prove the practicability of the principle.
