Abstract
A geometrical model for widthwise curlings in plain knitted structures is suggested here based on the plain knitted fabric model of Kurbak (1998). The main aim is to create models of m × n rib fabrics and also to model small diameter tubular fabrics. The model obtained is drawn to scale using the 3DS-MAX computer graphics program. With this model, the changes in radius of curvature at each part of the loop are shown.
