Abstract

A stretchable knitted article of predominately terry loop construction, e.g., an athletic headband, with a design printed thereon, includes a knitted fabric of single jersey construction the reverse side of which has a predominant terry loop region bordering an integrally knit smaller reverse-side plain jersey region. The plain jersey region is oriented in the article for coursewise stretching such that the sinker loop and needle loop crests of the yarn thereof are substantially the only visible yarn portions in both the stretched and unstretched conditions of the article. The design is printed on the plain region whereby it maintains its definition and continuity of appearance when stretched in ordinary use.
