A patterned fabric includes weft threads 3 and a fabric ground whose warped threads 2 are laid in a first area 4 in chain stitch and in a second area 5 in another stitch form. The second area 5 alternates with the first area 4 both in warp as well as weft direction. This provides, despite patterning by the warp threads, a surface stable fabric. The process for forming the patterned fabric is such that the fabric, after production, has a longitudinal extension of no greater than 25% and additionally is provided with a longitudinally stabilizing, stability improving arrangement step. A warp knitting machine for the production of fabric 1 comprises a weft insert magazine and two jacquard guide bars. In substantially each working cycle a portion of the guides lay chain stitches and the remaining portion of the guides lay other stitch types. Substantially each guide lays sequentially chain stitches as well as other stitch types.
A patterned knitted fabric having weft insert threads and a fabric ground comprising at least one system of pattern forming warp threads, at least a majority of said warp threads, for the purpose of patterning, being spatially distributed to alternate both in a warp direction and in a weft direction from first areas each having a plurality of chain stitches, to second areas each having a plurality of different stitches.
A method for the production of patterned fabric with weft insert threads and a fabric ground having warp threads, comprising the steps of:
