Abstract
There is provided a knit-in slide fastener in which a continuous fastener element row is knitted simultaneously with the knitting of a warp knitted fastener tape at a fastener element mounting portion on a longitudinal side edge portion of the fastener tape. Since a yarn composed of ordinary long fibers, or a textured yarn is employed as a fixing knitting yarn for the fastener element mounting portion, even if a sewing needle is pierced into the textured yarn, the fixing knitting yarn is never cut off because the sewing needle passes through a number of fibers which compose the textured yarn. Further, even when part of the fibers are cut off, no fraying occurs in the yarns, so that the fastener element row at the cut off portions does not separate from the fastener tape.
