Abstract
Geometrical condition to construct sphere with woven fabrics of square or rhombus was discussed. Based on the theory to wrap sphere with a net or coarse woven fabric, numerical formula to decide whether the shape is similar to sphere was given. The smallest number of pieces of unit square on equator was 5, in which the polyhedron consists of 15 pieces. The shape was found in actual goods.
