Abstract
Provided is a weft-knitted fabric having excellent stretchability, and providing excellent comfort in a hot environment. The weft-knitted fabric contains non-elastic fibres and elastic fibres, and is characterised: by being formed of a mesh part where a stitch of a welt structure and a stitch of a knit structure are alternately repeated to complete one course, and the course having the same structural arrangement is employed once or continuously repeated twice, and a plain-knit part where a course of an all-knit structure is employed once or continuously repeated up to three times; and in that said mesh part and said plain-knit part are each alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction.
Claims15
A weft-knitted fabric comprising non-elastic fibers and elastic fibers, composed of:
- a mesh part containing 2 courses in which a first course having alternate repetition of a stitch of a welt structure and a stitch of a knit structure is used with continuous knitting of the 2 courses in the same structural arrangement, and
- a plain-knit part in which a first course having an all-knit structure is used with continuous knitting of 2 courses,
- wherein the mesh part and plain-knit part are located alternately in a warp direction, and
- wherein the 2 courses in the mesh part are adjacent in the warp direction and welt structures on the 2 courses in the mesh part are aligned in the warp direction.
A weft-knitted fabric, comprising:
- a plurality of non-elastic fibers;
- a plurality of elastic fibers,
- wherein the weft-knitted fabric includes a mesh part and a plain-knit part and, in the warp direction, the mesh part alternates with the plain-knit part,
- wherein the mesh part has a first structural arrangement including a continuous knitting of two courses that are adjacent in the warp direction and that have alternate repetition in a weft direction of a stitch of a welt structure and a stitch of a knit structure, and
- wherein the plain-knit part has a second structural arrangement including a continuous knitting of two courses that are adjacent in the warp direction and that have an all-knit structure.
A weft-knitted fabric, comprising:
- a plurality of non-elastic fibers;
- a plurality of elastic fibers,
- wherein the weft-knitted fabric has a plurality of mesh parts and a plurality of plain-knit parts, each mesh part of the plurality of mesh parts separated in the warp direction by one of the plurality of plain-knit parts,
- wherein each mesh part of the plurality of mesh parts contains 2 courses, where a first course of the 2 courses has an alternating pattern in a weft direction of a stitch of a welt structure and a stitch of a knit structure,
- wherein each plain-knit part of the plurality of plain-knit parts contains at least 1 course having an all-knit structure.
