Abstract

In this work the geometrical model of a tuck stitch and its effect on the plain knitted fabric structure are introduced. The geometrical model of this knit + tuck combination is created here for the first time, being a pioneering basic work on knit + tuck combinations. This model is then plotted using 3DS Max software. It is shown that the obtained shapes are exactly the same shapes observed in real fabrics.
