The child''s discovery of mind

Warpwise and weftwise stretchable seamless tubular knitted openwork mesh fabric comprising a series of individual lengthwise extending warp strings arranged in circumferentially spaced parallel aray interknitted at equally spaced points along the lengths thereof with the spaced convolutions of a weftwise extending helically arranged strand of elastic yarn, each of the strings consisting solely of successive groups of a like number of crochet knitted chain stitches formed solely of non-elastic yarn and of single stitches formed solely of elastic yarn, the elastic yarn stitches being disposed between and being interknit with the proximate chain stitches of the successive groups thereof whereby each warp string is formed of warpwise spaced single elastic stitches arranged in alternating relation with respect to the successive groups of chain stitches, the non-elastic yarn extending warpwise in non-knitted condition as a float of yarn between the proximate chain stitches of the successive groups thereof, the elastic yarn stitches being in unknit linear formation when the fabric is in relaxed condition and being formable into knit confromation by the force exerted upon the warp strings when the fabric is in warpwise stretched condition, in which latter condition the interaction between the proximate chain stitches of non-elastic yarn stitches is such as to inhibit weftwise displacement of the warp strings.
