A method for knitting interchanged plating on a technical face for a flat bed knitting machine which includes at least one needle bed that has a plurality of latch needles, a plurality of sinkers and a carriage comprises the steps of: forming an indentation and a nose protrusion at each sinker; controlling the latch needle to move in a staged stitching displacement; feeding a first and a second coloration yarns to the flat bed knitting machine simultaneously; pushing the yarns via the nose protrusion of the sinker to knit a standard plating and continuing the knitting operation through the standard plating to form a technical face of the fabric; and controlling the latch needle to perform an interchanged stitching displacement, and ordering the sinker to pick up and release the yarns through the nose protrusion and the indentation to knit an interchanged plating.

A knitted component may include a knitted base portion located between a first non-planar structure and a second non-planar structure. The knitted base portion may include a first area located adjacent to the first non-planar structure, and the first area may include at least one course of a first base yarn. The knitted base portion may include a second area located adjacent to the second non-planar structure, and the second area may include at least one course of a second base yarn. The first base yarn may have a first color and the second base yarn may have a second color different from the first color.

Aspects herein relate to a garment having zoned insulation features. The zoned insulation features comprise projections that extend in the z-direction with respect to the surface of a base material forming the garment such that the projections face toward a body surface of a wearer when the garment is worn. The number and/or size of the projections may vary over the garment depending on the amount of insulation needed in different areas of the garment.

Aspects herein provide for a knit component having a tubular rib knit structure that extends away from a base portion of the knit component. The tubular rib knit structure includes at least a first portion extending along a longitudinal side of the tubular rib knit structure, where the first portion exhibits a first visual effect at a first area of the knit component and exhibits a second visual effect at a second area of the knit component.

An article of footwear including a full monofilament upper is described. The full monofilament upper incorporates a knitted component including a monofilament knit element. The monofilament knit element is formed by knitting with a monofilament strand. The monofilament knit element is formed of unitary knit construction with the remaining portions of the knitted component, including peripheral portions that are knit using a natural or synthetic twisted fiber yarn. An inlaid tensile element can extend through the knitted component, including portions of the monofilament knit element. The monofilament knit element may be knitted with a monofilament strand according to a variety of knit structures.

The present application describes a net with identification and traceability system, in particular a knitted net of the Raschel type, for packing products by wrapping, that contains a position-color scheme distributed across the width of the knitted net and applied during weaving on looms which transposition for numerical code enables the processing of information by electronic reading devices suitable for production management and control. The solution disclosed in the present application aims at complementing identification systems currently applied in these products, in which the identifying code is applied in the cardboard tube wherein the agricultural net is winded, which is destroyed/recycled after application of the net in the field, making it impossible to trace the product.

There is provided a method for knitting a knitted fabric capable of forming a decoration unit of a novel shape using a flat knitting machine. A decoration unit (2) is formed on a surface of a base knitted fabric portion (1), the decoration unit (2) being configured by a lower edge (2D) extending in a knitting width direction of the base knitted fabric portion (1), a left edge (2L) extending in a direction intersecting the knitting width direction from a left end of the lower edge (2D), and a right edge (2R) extending in a direction intersecting the knitting width direction from a right end of the lower edge (2D). The lower edge (2D) is configured by a cross-over yarn extending in the knitting width direction of the base knitted fabric portion (1). The left edge (2L) and the right edge (2R) are configured by stitches stretched in a direction intersecting the knitting width direction. The cross-over yarn and the stitches are knitted all at once.

In example aspects, materials with different colors and/or one or more different characteristics are used for footwear manufacturing. In some aspects, the colors and/or the one or more characteristics of the materials may be obscured with a concealing layer. In other aspects, the concealing layer may include a structural-color element.

The present embodiments provide a knitted component including a knitted base portion located between a first non-planar structure and a second non-planar structure. The knitted base portion may include a first area located adjacent to the first non-planar structure, and the first area may include at least one course of a first base yarn. The knitted base portion may include a second area located adjacent to the second non-planar structure, and the second area may include at least one course of a second base yarn. The first base yarn may have a first visual property and the second base yarn may have a second visual property different from the first visual property.

A seamless double layered porous woven structure comprises a seamless circular inner layer structure and a porous outer layer structure. The outer layer structure is weaved upon the seamless circular inner layer structure to provide a seamless double layered tubular structure, which is further gaited together with yarns at the edges of the double layered tubular structure. The inner layer structure is made of circular weaving process while the outer layer structure is made of warp weaving process. There are several porous regions and jacquard regions at the outer layer structure.
