Abstract
A method of knitting an inlaid fabric including a base knitting fabric portion and an inlay yarn and an inlaid fabric knitted by the method. The method comprises the step that the base knitting fabric portion is knitted; the step that inlay yarn holding loops are formed by retaining loops of the base knitting fabric portion retained by the needles on the first needle bed to the needles on the opposed second needle bed through a split knit process, whereby the loops are retained to the needles on both of the first and second needle beds; the step that the inlay yarn is made to run across the loops retained to the needles on the first and second needle beds; the step that the inlay yarn holding loops retained by the needles on the second needle bed are transferred to the needles on the first needle bed to be overlapped with the loops of the base knitting fabric portion; and the step that a yarn is fed to the needles of the first needle bed to form loops of the next course.
