Process Realization of Fractal Pattern in Computer Jacquard Knitting Fabric

Abstract

Pattern is the indispensable artistic language of knitted fabric. Knitted fabric pattern can be performed by structure and color pattern. Color pattern is jacquard. Fractal pattern is a complex and irregular graphics, and we can construct protean art designs with its unique features and obtain inspiration for knitted fabric pattern design. For current knitted fabric pattern is mainly composed by traditional pattern, the paper programs fractal pattern based on unit pictures and escaping time algorithm according to different generating principles with C++ language, then redesigns the pictures in the pattern design software of computerized flat knitting machine and weaves the fabrics with the pattern procedure. The result shows that the unit picture can be applied to knitted jacquard fabrics by rearranging and the fractal pattern based on escaping time algorithm can be applied to knitted jacquard fabrics with the form of block surface.
