This study investigates the effect of different knit structure on various properties of rib knitted fabric. The acrylic yarns were used to make 1×1, 2×1, 2×2, 3×1 and 3×3 rib structured fabrics using manual V-bed knitting machine in this research work. The effects of knit structure were measured concerning drape co-efficient percentage, bending length, flexural rigidity and tightness factor. The results disclosed that the fabric properties are greatly influenced by knit structures. 1×1 rib knit fabric showed the lowest value for all tested properties and 3×3 rib knit fabric showed the highest value except drape co-efficient. The bending length and flexural rigidity was investigated in both wale and course direction. At the same time, surface and back sides bending length were also calculated. It has been identified from the test results that the effect of knit structure on flexural rigidity in both wale and course direction were influenced in a same chronological way.
