TOE KNITTED FABRIC AND STOCKING BY USING THE TOE KNITTED FABRIC

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toe knitted fabric capable of mitigating the pain when wearing shoes by wearing the toe knitted fabric on the foot suffering from hallux valgus.;SOLUTION: A bulky yarn b thicker than a ground yarn (a) is added when knitting the middle food part 3 and the region at the vicinity of the joint part of the front food part 2, of a cylindrical ground structural knitted fabric 10 covering at least the whole periphery of the toe side from the ankle part. The bulky yarn b is knitted into a cylindrical shape by floating one or two stitches on the back surface to enlarge the knitted stitch of the bulky yarn b so as to be larger than that of the ground structural knitted fabric to form the thick first fleeced knitted fabric 16 having softness. The second fleeced knitted fabric 17 thicker and softer than the first fleeced knitted fabric 16 is formed within the range of the first fleeced knitted fabric 16 by knitting the bulky yarn b by floating at least three stitches by changing the knitting method to form undulation in the floated bulky yarn b to allow the knitted fabric to keep mild contact with the foot suffering from the hallux valgus.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
