A knitting process include steps of (a) arranging first needles and second needles horizontally; (b) arranging third needles vertically; (c) moving the first needles rearward to form terries by picking up a thread; (d) moving the first needles forward and laterally to cause the first needles to clear the thread; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) until a terry pattern is formed on a first surface of a fabric; (f) moving the first needle rearward to form terries by picking up the thread; (g) moving the first needle forward and laterally to cause the first needles to clear the thread; (h) moving the third needles upward and downward; (i) moving the second needles to pick up the thread; and (j) repeating steps (f) to (i) until a jacquard pattern is formed on a second surface of the fabric.
