PCT No. PCT/GB90/01060 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 10, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 10, 1992 PCT Filed Jul. 10, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/00936 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 24, 1991.A method of knitting a double needle bed fabric in which an inlay thread or yarn 12 is interlaced into the fabric by transferring stitches from the active needles (10) of one needle bed to the needles of the other bed. In this way the inlay 12 is interlaced or "woven" into the fabric without actually forming loops in the inlay 12. This enables materials that cannot be knitted to be incorporated into fabrics securely.
