Single Jersey Fabric Vs Interlock Fabric（3）

If you’re trying to determine whether a swatch of fabric is single jersey or interlock, there are two key things you need to look at:

If you take a close look at the knitting pattern of plain knitted single jersey fabric, you’ll find that both sides look different. In contrast, both sides of an plain knitted interlock or double knit fabric will look exactly the same.

However, this is only true when looking at plain knitted fabric of either variety. If a different knitting method has been used, this test isn’t so useful. And you’ll need to do a little more reading to find out what to look out for. 

Take your fabric and stretch it horizontally. If the fabric curls over on the stretched edge, it is single jersey fabric. If it doesn’t curl, it’s interlock fabric. This is one of the reasons why interlock is popular for free cut and laser cut garments.
