The most important feature of satin, which is the third main knitting group after plain and twill, is that a group of yarns is gathered almost entirely on the desired face of the fabric, thus providing the opportunity to create very smooth and shiny surfaces. Already satin weaves are used only for this purpose.
The smallest report consists of 5 warp and 5 weft threads. The largest one can be up to 20-24 threads (20x20) (24x24) depending on the intended use and conditions of the fabric. Since the warp and weft patterns are equal in satins, the pattern is not called five warps and five wefts (5x5) or eight warps and eight wefts (8x8). Briefly, it is defined as 5-fold satin (5-warp satin or 5-weft satin), octagonal satin (8-warp satin or 8-weft satin).
As in warp and weft twill, in satin, the connection points are once in each weft and warp. However, those of the satin are distributed with smooth jumps with a certain system and are hidden by placing them between long links. That is why the connection points do not form a path, as in twill, and for the same reason, satin gathers a group of threads on one side of the fabric as a whole, making that side look very smooth and shiny.
The fabric woven with satin weave is looser and less resistant than the woven fabric plain and twill. This is because satin has fewer attachment points than others. As it is known, the more connection points in a braid, the higher the strength and density (toughness, fullness) of the fabric woven with that braid. Since the yarns will pass under and over each other in a large number of points in a weave with many points, the wefts prevent the warps from approaching each other, and the warps in the same way prevent the wefts from approaching each other. However, in the weaves with few connection points, the warp and weft yarns between the long jumps have the opportunity to be inserted into each other.
When it comes to satin, plain, smooth, soft, draped, shiny fabrics woven with threads compatible with these characteristics come to mind. In the formation of satin weave, the binding points do not come into contact with each other, unlike other knitting patterns. The warp thread creates a connection by rising only once (weft satin) or descending once (warp satin) in the pattern.. The attachment points are evenly spread over the surface. The smallest pattern of satin weaves, also known as atlas weaves, consists of 5 warp and 5 weft yarns. In satin weaves, it is necessary to avoid very large reports, because long jumps will give the fabric more slack than desired, and the fabric will lose its appearance and use. In satin weaves, mostly fine, natural or artificial silk thread is used. The long jumps that occur due to the yarn density and the sparseness of the binding points give the fabric a smooth, shiny, soft and flowing appearance. In addition, one surface of the fabric is glossy and the other surface is matte. The color on the surface and the colors on the reverse are different. Because the long jumps are arranged side by side without creating twill lines, it gives smoothness, slipperiness and shine to the surface of the satin weave fabric. Therefore, satin weave is widely used in upholstery, drapery, drape and lining fabrics. The most important issue in satin weaves is to determine the number of jumps.
For this reason, the necessary rules for determining the number of jumps are as follows:
1 - It cannot be the number of jumps.
2- The number of reports cannot be the number of skips.
3- One minus of the number of reports cannot be the number of skips.
4-The numbers dividing the number of reports cannot be the number of skips.
5- If there is a common dividing number with the report number, these numbers cannot be the number of skips.
Satin weaves are one of the basic weaving weaves in which the attachment points are placed dispersedly so that they never come into contact with each other.
PROPERTIES
1-The smallest satin weave is 5 satin. This knitting pattern consists of 5 warps and 5 wefts.
2-Satin knit fabrics are shiny, smooth, soft and draped fabrics as they do not form diagonal paths like twill weaves and create long jumps.
3- In satin weaves, the connection points do not come into contact with each other in the report. For this reason, yarn floats are seen in the fabric woven with satin weave. This structure prevents the fabric from being strong.
4-Due to these long thread floats, outward thread pulls and thread slips may occur in the fabric during use.
5-The front and back sides of the fabrics woven with satin weave are different from each other. One side of the fabric is glossy and the other side is matte. Generally, warp threads are dominant on the front of the fabric and weft threads are dominant on the back.
6-The number of warp and weft in the satin weave pattern is always equal. Mostly 5 and 8 satin weaves are used. Larger patterned satin weaves are not preferred because of the problems that yarn floats will cause during use.
Below is the drawing of WEFT SATIN.
For example, if the face of the fabric is 2-hop 7-weft satin, the reverse is 2-hop Warp satin. Therefore, while drawing the warp satin, the empty points are filled in the weft satin, and the filled points are left blank.

Let's make the 5 scarf satin seen below with 2 jumps.
First, let's determine the borders of our pattern. Our satin pattern consists of 5 warp and 5 weft threads.
We make the square where the First Warp thread and the 1st Weft thread intersect, from bottom to top, 1 FULL 4 Empty.
1. We go up 2 squares over this FULL point in the warp thread. We immediately fill in the square to the right of the 2nd square. Well; On the solid point, we call the square where the 1st warp thread and the 2nd weft thread intersect ONE. We call the square where the 1st warp thread and the 3rd weft thread intersect TWO. We fill the square to the right of the square we call TWO. (In other words, we fill the square where the 2nd warp thread and the 3rd weft thread intersect.
2. We go up 2 squares over this FULL point in the warp thread. We immediately fill in the square to the right of the 2nd square. Well; On the solid point, we call the square where the 2st warp thread and the 4nd weft thread intersect ONE. We call the square where the 2st warp thread and the 5rd weft thread intersect TWO. We fill the square to the right of the square we call TWO. (In other words, we fill the square where the 3nd warp thread and the 5rd weft thread intersect.
3. We go up 2 squares over this FULL point in the warp thread. We immediately fill in the square to the right of the 2nd square. Well; On the solid point, we call the square where the 3rd warp thread and the 6th weft thread intersect ONE. We call the square where the 3rd warp thread and the 7th weft thread intersect TWO. We overflowed the report. We fill in the square to the right of the square we call TWO. (In the report, we fill the square where the 4th Warp thread and the 2nd Weft thread intersect.
4. We go up 2 squares over this FULL point in the warp thread. We immediately fill in the square to the right of the 2nd square. Well; On the solid point, we call the square where the 4st warp thread and the 3nd weft thread intersect ONE. We call the square where the 4st warp thread and the 4rd weft thread intersect TWO. We fill the square to the right of the square we call TWO. (In other words, we fill the square where the 5nd warp thread and the 4rd weft thread intersect.
When we continue, we come to the beginning of the 2nd report.
We draw the 5-fold weft satin on the pattern paper with 2 skips.
