stitch whereas the loops 27 are knitted with an open stitch the point diagram for the wrap knitted fabric of fig2 is shown in fig3 as can be seen the trellis 26 is knitted with a closed stitch while the loops forming the velour 27 are knitted with an open stitch returning to fig2 that portion of the trellis thread indicated by the reference numeral 28 is a trellis underlap with reference to that portion of the pile thread underlap 29 which passes over it remembering that fig2 is a view of the fabric from the inside thereof the loop which would be formed by thread underlap 29 is bisected by trellis underlap 28 so that the loop is cut into two sub loops 29a and 29b as shown in fig4 underlap 28 dominates because it is relatively tight whereas underlap 29 is loose as the result of the feed ratio being greater than 1 as a result there are two loops on one face of the fabric here the interior thereof for each loop on the exterior of the fabric as is evident underlaps 28 and 29 are in opposite directions it is possible to form a double velour with the underlaps in the same direction but as can be seen the pile loops would not be cut in two so that the number of loops on the inside would be the same as that on the outside of the trellis the hand of such a product is rather different from that of a product made with opposed underlaps but is useful for certain purposes the overlap having the reference numeral 31 is shown in fig2 as lying along the trellis but this.
