Abstract:
Knitwear design is a creative activity that is hard to automate using the computer. The production of the
associated knitting pattern, however, is repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone, calling for automation.
Our objectives are two-fold: to facilitate the design and to ease the burden of calculations and checks in
pattern production. We conduct a feasibility study for applying case-based reasoning in knitwear design: we
describe appropriate methods and show how they can be implemented.
