(57) A warp knit includes a plurality of warp yarns chain-stitched to form a plurality of wales for forming a ground weave and at least one pattern-forming yarn knitted into the ground weave, with the pattern-forming yarn having a course-wise knitted portion extending between the wales. In this warp knit, a thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted to be laid over the back side of the pattern-forming yarn at least over a portion of the course-wise knitted portion thereof. The thickness-increasing overlay yarn has a greater elasticity than the pattern-forming yarn.
