Abstract:
1. A computer implemented designing device for creating design data of a knit product in order to form a cylindrically-shaped fabric constituted by front and rear knitted fabrics by means of a flat-knitting machine by circumferentially moving a yarn carrier, and to form a setting pattern on an end section of each of the knitted fabrics, the designing device comprising: designating means for accepting that a setting area is designated and storing the designated setting area on a memory in association with an external shape of each of the knitted fabrics; modifying means for modifying the setting area in response to an alteration of an external design of each of the knitted fabrics; expanding means for storing data on the setting pattern on the memory and expanding the pattern through the entire setting area; detecting means for detecting that the setting area exists in both circumferential direction start section and end section located respectively on both sides of a carrier circumferential movement start section and that the setting area also exists so as to continue along a course direction between the start section and the end section; and correcting means for moving on the data stored on the memory, at the time of the detection, the setting pattern located on the start section side relatively upward to the end section side by one course.
