An upper-torso garment includes a first knit zone and a second knit zone. The first knit zone includes a first tubular-jacquard knit structure and having a first modulus of elasticity, and the second knit zone includes a second tubular-jacquard knit structure and having a second modulus of elasticity, which is greater than the first modulus of elasticity.

An upper-torso garment includes a tubular-jacquard knit structure in a chest-covering portion. The tubular-jacquard knit structure is divided into a plurality of zones across the chest-covering portion, and the zones may include different versions of the tubular-jacquard knit structure.

The present invention relates to a method for forming a three-dimensional pattern using a double Raschel knitted fabric, and more particularly, to a method for forming a three-dimensional pattern using a double Raschel knitted fabric, in which the facilitation of formation of visually aesthetic patterns can be ensured through a simple process during the surface-molding of the double Raschel knitted fabric having a feeling of volume and a cushion feeling, and in which the double Raschel knitted fabric can be given an adhesive property or a high abrasion resistance, or an adhesive property and a high abrasion resistance.

An integrally woven or knitted textile, such as a tubular graft or sheet, having a base textile layer, in the case of a graft, it has at least one longitudinal tubular graft portion, and at least one pouch or flap integrally woven from at least a portion of the same set of yarns. Methods of making the same are also disclosed.

A double-knit fabric containing a first knit layer, a second knit layer, and a plurality of stuffer yarns. The first knit layer contains a plurality of first yarns and forms the upper surface of the double-knit fabric. The second knit layer contains a plurality of second yarns and forms the lower surface of the double-knit fabric. The plurality of stuffer yarns is located between the first knit layer and the second knit layer. The double-knit fabric contains a plurality of anchored lines and a plurality of detached regions. The double-knit fabric the first knit layer has an undulating surface in at least 90% by number of the detached regions defined as the upper surface containing at least 3 inflection points in the warp or weft directions.

A knitted fabric, a method of producing the knitted fabric and a warp knitting machine. The knitted fabric includes a first covering layer; a second covering layer; and an arrangement of pile threads formed as spacer threads between the first covering layer and the second covering layer. Each covering layer includes multiple stitch rows arranged one after another. The spacer threads have different lengths, and the spacer threads woven into each stitch row have equal lengths. The spacer threads in a first width region have a different length than the spacer threads in a second width region. For at least two adjacent stitch rows, one stitch row is connected to spacer threads of a first length in the first width region and one stitch row is connected to spacer threads of a second length in the second width region.

An insulating, double-knit fabric containing a first knit layer and a second knit layer coupled with the first knit layer through a plurality of first direction spaced apart rows in a first direction and a plurality of second direction spaced apart rows in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction forming a plurality of air pockets in a grid pattern. The fabric also contains a plurality of intermediate fiber regions positioned in the plurality of air pockets, where each of the intermediate fiber regions contains a plurality of rows of multi-filament fibers extending parallel to at least one of the first and second knit layers. The first knit layer and the second knit layer comprise a plurality of flame resistant fibers, a plurality of cellulosic fibers, and a plurality of modacrylic fibers blended together.

An integrally woven textile, such as a tubular graft or sheet, includes a base textile layer and at least one pouch, tab, or flap. The at least one pouch, tab, or flap is integrally woven from at least a portion of a same set of yarns as the base textile layer to define a single opening for access to an open inner space of the pouch, tab, or flap. Methods of making the same are also disclosed.

Provided are a double raschel knitted fabric having ridges, wherein shape stability of ridges and recesses, seam strength, and tensile resistance of recesses are excellent, and a surface covering material comprising said fabric. The double raschel knitted fabric according to the present invention includes a double-layer knitted fabric having a surface layer and a back layer, and a connecting thread that connects the knitted fabric of the two front and back layers, and a plurality of ridges, and recesses located between the ridges, are formed in at least one knitted fabric of the two front and back layers, the double raschel knitted fabric characterized in that the ridges are formed by combining two or more wales of stitch rows continuing in the warp direction, and the ridges are connected to adjacent ridges on at least one side by sinker loops.
