Abstract [eng] In the modern knitting world, the customer is more concerned with the performance characteristics of the fabrics. Normally, fabric structures are developed for use in winter or summer, depending upon the structural properties concerning materials. Previously, the work has been done on developing fabrics with single structures and studying their properties. To achieve the optimum properties between summer and winter wear, multiple combinations of structures have been developed by changing the arrangement of cams and needles. The hybrid structures have been made, in which each fabric has a combination of two different structures in its construction, including Single Jersey Plain, Single Jersey – Single Pique, Single Jersey – Double Pique, Single Jersey – Single Lacoste, Single Jersey – Honey Comb, Single Pique – Double Pique, Single Pique – Single Lacoste, Single Pique – Honey Comb, Double Pique – Single Lacoste, Double Pique - Honey Comb, Double Pique - Single Lacoste, Double Pique - Honey Comb, Double Pique - Single Lacoste, Double Pique - Honey Comb, Honey Comb, Honey Comb – Single Lacoste. The effects of these combinations have been studied on the mechanical properties of fabrics. It is concluded that by developing structures this way, the appearance and mechanical properties of the fabric have been improved as compared to the conventional single structured fabrics.
