Abstract
A warp knit fabric structure formed by means of a single needle and a single guide bar made upon short hook needles of the latch or compound type in which one thread only is supplied to each needle and two, three, four or more needle wale overlaps are made at every course and only the last part of the overlap next to the guide eye forms a single knit loop on the needle of each last wale crossed, and by means of the geometrical settings of the machine knitting elements, the adjacent threads individual single needle loops, or the use of a point comb, the preceding part of each overlap is prevented from forming knit loops on the needles. This part of the overlap is divided into two components, a weftwise fabric linking traverse, and a residual warpwise part held in the adjacent wales by the double thread crossing of the neighbouring threads on each needle in every course of knitting, the fabric structure with only one single knit loop to each needle wale in each course, is obtained with bulk, fullness, and directional stability.
