	Abstract

A geometrical model for the half cardigan structure is presented based on the model of full cardigan structure given in Part I of this series of papers. In the model, loop and tuck stitch heads are taken as ellipses in two dimensions. The rest of the loops and tucks are taken as parabolic helices wrapped on elliptical cylinders in general. The parameters of the model were obtained by using a wash-relaxed wool fabric at medium tightness. Computer drawings of the model were created by the 3DS MAX graphical program, which gave similar loop shapes to those observed in real fabrics.
