ABSTRACT:
A method of knitting an upholstery fabric having at least two adjoined regions of different knitted structures located side-by-side in a wale-wise direction and having courses extending continuously through both regions in which the fabric is knitted with stitches having a first loop length in one region and a second, different loop length in the adjacent region, the loop lengths of the two adjacent regions being relatively adjusted so that, in the relaxed condition of the fabric, the same number of courses in each of the two regions of different knitted structures in the wale-wise direction extend for substantially the same wale-wise distance, so as to give the overall structure a balanced even appearance.
