KN lTTED FABRIC.

the foot from yarn of one color, weight, or.

quality and the top from another. Thus stockings are frequently knitted with heel, sole, and toe of white and top of black.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1' is a side elevation of a two-part stocking, the bottom being white, the top black. Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating the course taken by the two different threads in forming and joining a two-part fabric. Fig. ,3 is a view illustrating .diagrammatically two anchor-stitches employed to unite the two parts of such a fabric. r

In the embodiment herein shown of this invention corresponding double courses of black and of white yarn are knitted alternately with relation. to the line of juncture between the two parts of the fabric, a double course of stitches being knitted with the black thread across the line of juncture and then with the white thread, and so on throughout the twopart work. At the line of juncture a single wale of black stitches is formed in the white fabric and a single wale of white stitches in the black fabric. The individual stitches comprising these wales I denominate anchorstitches, and that portion of the, yarn that passes from the anchor-stitches to the main body of the fabric and extends through the anchor-stitches of the other color I call connectingstrands. The diiferent threads, it will be understood, are continuous, passing kzvard and forward throughout that part abric which theycompose. r to the drawings, A representsthe on of the knitted fabric, and B the zzhne-a'refers to the wale of anchor- Serial No. 126,876. (No model.)

stitches formed of white yarn, and b to the wale formed of black yarn.

A, A A A, A, and A represent courses of the continuous white thread in forming a two-part fabric, and B, B, B", B, B and B courses of the continuous black thread. 0 represents the several series of loops formed in the usual manner of knitting, d thethe latter loop being drawn through the for-- mer, and the loop (Z of each course through the loop e of the last preceding course, whereby successive courses of the anchor-stitches are held together in a wale. It will thus be seen that. two anchor-stitches are formed at each end of each double course and consist of two loops,'the loop first formed being drawn through the loop last formed in the last preceding courseof the knitting, and the loop last formed being drawnthrough the firstformed loop of its course.

f refers. to the two connecting-strands, the first being laid by the movement of the thread toward the juncture-line, and the second upon .the return movement of said thread. The connecting-strands f pass between the necks of the loops d and e, and thus are firmly embedded between adjacent interlocking anchorstitches. v

The strand A A comprises one double course, the yarn passing toward the line of juncture in A returning in A. Likewise the strand A A*, the strand A A the strand B B", the strand B B, and the strand B B each forms a double course.

It is apparent that slight changes mightbe resorted to in the fabric herein shown and described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. I therefore desire to have it understood that I donot limit myself to the particular form herein shown of my invention.
