Sažetak
In this research, attention was focused on the preference for repetition of ornament and preference of colours as well as physical fabric properties of Croatian traditional knitwear. A total of 165 knitted pieces of clothing were found in the Department for Preservation, Reconstruction and Lending of Traditional Costumes in Zagreb ; vests, sweaters, slippers, scarves, knitted coats, socks, and decorative wristbands. The appropriate non-destructive research methods were used since the traditional textile must not be damaged. White yarn, dark blue, burgundy, red, and turquoise blue were five favourite shades of yarn. Purl structure was mostly used for sock and armbands knitting, plain structure for knitted coats, rib structure for socks and vests, and sometimes warp knitted fabric for scarves. The average fineness of the yarn for making scarves was 208 tex, and for massive coats as much as 3513 tex. By far the most popular way of repeating an ornament is translation, where the ornament remains unchanged, i.e. p1., another well used is translation and mirror reflection, i.e. p1m1. The results obtained from the analysis of fabric contribute not only to the understanding of the originality of character of Croatian traditional knitwear but also allow the production of copies or souvenir production.
