Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1947224A1] Adjacent knit and purl stitches are transferred by rib knitting, an inlay yarn is then inserted and transferred again before the original stitch arrangement is returned. A rib fabric where the inlay yarn is inserted into each course is obtained by repeating the process. The inlay yarn passes on the outside of rib stitch and passes through the fabric between adjacent knit and purl stitches. When the stitches not transferred through the rib stitch are increased, friction is reduced between the inlay yarn and the rib stitch and stretchability of the fabric is enhanced. Since friction is large between the inlay yarn and the rib stitch, the inlay yarn does not appear even if the fabric is stretched and stretch of rib texture is limited. The inlay yarn appears on the front and rear of the fabric and a design feature is improved when a yarn having appearance different from that of ground yarn is employed.
