Abstract

The reversible knitted fabric, with tuck float stitches, uses a pique fabric structure where the rows of stitches are formed by a single needle bed. The knitting cycle gives a succession of plain rows (1,3) where all the needles form stitches, followed by stitch rows (2,4) where the stitches and yarns are alternated. The alternating rows use two yarns (A,B) to be knitted together and their positions are alternated, to give visual effects on both sides of the fabric. In an Independent claim a succession of Jersey rows (1,3) are separated by rows (1,2) where the yarns are fed to one or two needles consecutively. The knitting rhythm is set as a pattern function where certain stitch rows use different yarns (A,B) fed by a yarn change unit to distribute the yarns (A,B) on the same plane, but at a different angle in relation to the fabric plane. The yarns are given a positive feed to their needles through different tensions. Preferred Features: The yarn (A,B) position is inverted at intervals to give one plain row at a pique row, along the same pique row. When giving a small pique fabric structure, the repeat is in four rows, where each row is of stitches with two different yarns. In each pique row, the zones are separated from each other by a set number of Jersey stitches.
