Abstract
The invention relates to a tubular weft-knitted jersey-based article having a portion of the size of at least four consecutive courses and at least four consecutive wales, wherein all of the at least four courses are plated courses. Each plated course comprises a ground yarn that entirely forms plain stitches, two or three laid-in yarns, a plating yarn. The laid-in yarns are tucked and missed along the plated course in such a way 0 that at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is tucked whilst at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is missed along a same wale to form crossover points between at most two consecutive wales.

A tubular weft-knitted jersey-based fabric having a ground knit consisting of plain stitches over at least 60% of the circumference of the tubular weft-knitted jersey-based fabric and having a portion of the size of at least four consecutive courses and at least four consecutive wales, wherein all of the at least four courses are plated courses, wherein each plated course comprises
- a ground yarn that entirely forms plain stitches,
- two or three laid-in yarns,
- a plating yarn, and
- the laid-in yarns are tucked and missed along the plated courses in such a way that at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is tucked whilst at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is missed along a same wale to form crossover points between at most two consecutive wales.
A method for producing a tubular weft-knitted jersey-based fabric on a single jersey circular knitting machine with at least three feeds, wherein the tubular fabric comprises a ground knit consisting of plain stitches over at least 60% of the circumference of the tubular fabric and a portion of the size of at least four consecutive courses and at least four consecutive wales, wherein all of the at least four courses are plated courses, wherein knit-ting each plated course within the portion comprises the following actions:
- knitting only plain stitches with the ground yarn,
- inlaying the two or three laid-in yarns,
- plating the plating yarn,
- wherein the laid-in yarns are tucked and missed along the plated courses in such a way that at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is tucked whilst at least one of the at least two or three laid-in yarns is missed along a same wale to form crossover points between at most two consecutive wales.
