Abstract
Knitty is an interactive design system for creating knitted animals. The user designs a 3D surface model using a sketching interface. The system automatically generates a knitting pattern and then visualizes the shape of the resulting 3D animal model by applying a simple physics simulation. The user can see the resulting shape before beginning the actual knitting. The system also provides a production assistant interface for novices. The user can easily understand how to knit each stitch and what to do in each step. In a workshop for novices, we observed that even children can design their own knitted animals using our system.
