Abstract (en)

A method of manufacturing a lace fabric is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: forming, with each single knitting cycle, a course (7) including a plurality of loops (3) formed side by side by chain-stitching a plurality of warp yarns (2); repeating the knitting cycle to form a plurality of courses (7) continuously in the wale direction, thereby to form a plurality of wales (1) disposed side by side and formed of the chain-stitched warp yarns (2). The method further includes the steps of: knitting an expansion yarn (4) into each one of at least some of the plurality of wales (1). In this expansion yarn knitting step, the plurality of courses (7) are divided into a plurality of kinds of course groups whose expansion yarns (4) inserted therein have expansion degrees different from each other. The lace fabric manufactured by the method is also disclosed. <IMAGE>
