Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009003485A1] The present invention relates to a warp-knitted pant (20) made on a double needle bar Raschel knitting machine in one piece. The warp-knitted pant comprises a tubular body portion (21) having first and second ends (22,23), a knitted-in crotch seam (35) situated between two leg openings (25,26) at said first end (22) of the tubular body portion, a crotch portion (24) extending in a crotch length direction from the crotch seam towards the second end of the tubular body portion, and a waistband portion (27) at said second end. Furthermore, the crotch portion is partly knitted in a structure comprising knitting stitches that are able to unravel/run and release a plurality of un-knitted yarn lengths within the fabric structure, which thereby provide high stretchability to the knitted structure, allowing it to stretch considerable in the crotch length direction, forming a U-shaped crotch region (30) during pant use.
