contents Knitting turns a one dimensional yarn into a highly ramified three-dimensional structure. As a method of additive manufacturing, it holds promise for a new class of lightweight, ultrastrong materials. Here we present a purely geometric model to predict the three-dimensional folding of knitted fabrics made only of the two traditional stitches, knit and purl.
