The theory of the mathematical model for the creation of plain-knitted structures on a computer screen was explained in the first part of this study. Based on this model, the experimental studies and pictures generated from the program are presented in this second part. The experimental study discussed was designed to verify the validity of the 3-D model of the stitch of plain-knitted structures. Experiments were basically concerned with the comparison of the experimental values of the upper-right distance with the theoretical value of the upper-right distance. Two kinds of experimental studies were carried out to verily the validity of the model. The two experimental studies are explained in this paper. © 2000 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
