Claim:
A knit design method for simulating and displaying an image of a knitted fabric with a fuzzy knitting yarn based on data for knitting a knitted fabric, comprising: dividing image data of a knitting yarn extended in a form of a line into fuzz regions on both sides and a yarn main frame region therebetween with respect to a width direction of the knitting yarn, and dividing into a plurality of meshes with a predetermined length in a length direction so that sides in the length direction and sides in the width direction form rectangles, deforming each of the meshes in accordance with a shape of a stitch loop constituting a knitted fabric, deforming the image data of the knitting yarn in accordance with a state of the deformed meshes, and reducing image data of the fuzz regions, and displaying the image data of the knitting yarn on an upper side or a lower side at a portion in which stitch loops overlap each other, in accordance with a predetermined rule, and thereby simulating an image of the knitted fabric.
