In a knitted fastener stringer, an element attaching portion of a fastener tape is configured by using at least a fixing chain stitch yarn which fixes a fastener element, and this fixing chain stitch yarn comprises a first needle loop which is knitted into a ground structure and a second needle loop which fixes upper and lower leg portions. Also, the one first and one second needle loops of the fixing chain stitch yarn is formed at each one pitch of the fastener element. As a result, it is possible to achieve an improvement of productivity and a large reduction of a manufacturing cost by increasing a knitting speed when knitting the knitted fastener stringer and further to stably obtain flexibility and a soft texture in the knitted fastener stringer.
A knitted fastener stringer comprising a fastener tape of a warp knit structure in which an element attaching portion is disposed along one side edge of a tape main body portion, and a continuous fastener element which is knitted and fixed to the element attaching portion at the same time as knitting the fastener tape, the element attaching portion being configured by using at least a fixing chain stitch yarn which holds and fixes a pair of upper and lower leg portions of the fastener element in a tape front and rear direction, the fixing chain stitch yarn comprising a first needle loop which is knitted into a ground structure of the element attaching portion and a second needle loop which fastens and fixes the upper and lower leg portions,
