By exploring the fundamental relationships between loop\u2010scale structural features and knit\u2010scale mechanical properties, both numerical simulations and experimental studies are carried out to investigate how topological loop\u2010patterns govern the deformation mechanisms of 3D\u2010knitted fabric architectures. Upon comparing the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of various knitted patterns, the rib\u2010knits featuring a distinctive bilayer configuration show a particular elastic deformation process spanning three distinct stages, including structure unfolding, geometric extension, and material stretching. Based on this understanding, 2\u00a0+\u00a02 rib\u2010knitted fabric architecture for a stretchable conductor is constructed, in which conductive EGaIn liquid\u2010metals are coated onto polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers with polymethacrylate (PMA) serving as the intermediate adhesive. The resultant EGaIn@PMA\/PTFE fabric (EP\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    F) architecture demonstrates remarkable conductivity (\u22485.02\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u00a0S\u00a0cm\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and stability, even after stretching up to 750% strain (\u22484.76\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u00a0S\u00a0cm\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    , conductivity variation less than 5%), along with high mechanical strength, as evidenced by a fracture stretching stress exceeding 400\u00a0MPa.
