Abstract
A knitting structure model is generated from knitting structure data represented by specific symbols so that an individual can easily imagine what type of knit fabric will be knitted. A knitting structure data acquiring portion () acquires knitting structure data made up of symbols (T) representing a tuck, (W) representing a welt, and (K) representing a knit. Anode aligning portion () aligns nodes representing connecting points of yarns forming the knit fabric within the (XY) plane in a lattice form. A simplified model generating portion () generates a simplified knitting structure model by connecting the nodes aligned within the XY plane with edges corresponding to the yarns according to the knitting structure data. A display portion () displays the simplified knitting structure model thereon.
