Abstract

See full text

A three-bar warp knitted fabric whose technical face has a pattern of coursewise and walewise arrayed pleated sections is produced on a three-bar warp knitting machine by knitting ground yarns on the machine's middle bar to provide a fabric base or ground, knitting pleat-forming yarns on the machine's top bar in extended walewise floats over selected groups of courses at the technical back of the fabric to cause the ground to gather into coursewise pleats at the technical face, and knitting tie-down yarns on the machine's bottom bar in an alternating in-out pattern to appear at the technical face only in selected spaced groups of wales wherein the tie-down yarns also float over the selected groups of courses to define the coursewise pleats into an array of discrete pleated sections.
