0 0 5 5 structure which is returned every 5 wales and runs in the course direction and the return ends of the second weft in laid yarns 14 which are adjacent in the course direction are arranged on the same wale w by inserting the second weft in laid yarns 14 as described above the first weft in laid yarns 13 and the second weft in laid yarns 14 run so as to cross each other between the same courses a processed yarn formed of multifilament is used as the warp knitting yarn 11 of this embodiment and a regular spandex yarn made of nylon is used as the above mentioned stretchable warp knitting yarn 12 regular multifilament is used as the first weft in laid yarn 13 and monofilament is used as the second weft in laid yarn 14 respectively because this type of stretchable warp knitted fabric is characterized by being flexible it is preferable that the knitting yarn used is also flexible for this reason in this invention it is preferable that except for the second weft in laid yarn 14 a processed yarn formed of regular multifilament or monofilament is used as the knitting yarn meanwhile in order to ensure stability of the configuration of the fabric when it is stretched the.
