KNITTED FABRIC AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A KNITTED FABRIC

摘要

A knitted fabric comprising a first knitted fabric portion integrally knitted along a joining line into second and third knitted fabric portions. The first knitted fabric portion is preferably a double-faced weft knitted structure and the second and third knitted portions are each single face weft knitted structures, wherein the first knitted portion may be a rib fabric and the second and third knitted portions may be jersey or plain fabric. The fabric can be produced on a knitting machine having independently controllable first and second sets of knitting needles by knitting a double faced fabric portion utilising needles from both said first and second sets, and knitting onto an edge of said double faced fabric portion a double layer fabric consisting of two single faced fabric portions each knitted on needles from a respective one of the first and second sets.
