Why are knitted fabrics more elastic and breathable than woven fabrics?

Knitted fabrics have good elasticity, and seams, folds and splices designed for modeling can be minimized in pattern design. Secondly, knitted fabrics are generally not suitable for modeling by pushing back and ironing, but use the elasticity of the fabric itself or properly use wrinkle techniques to fit the human body curve. Then the elasticity of fabric becomes an important basis for model design and production.

The pattern of woven clothing is generally larger than the area needed to wrap the human body, that is, it has a certain degree of looseness relative to the human body; For knitted clothing, it depends on the fabric structure. If the fabric with particularly high elasticity is designed (related to yarn and weave structure), it will not leave a loose feeling, and its pattern size can be the same as that of people, and the elastic coefficient can also be reduced.
