Abstract:
1. A stab resistant knit fabric, comprising: a plurality of panels of a cut and abrasion resistant knit fabric having a modified knit structure corresponding to rows of knit stitches, wherein each panel of knit fabric is arranged such that the rows of knit stitches of the panel are in a perpendicular direction relative to an adjacent panel of knit fabric, wherein each of the panels of cut and abrasion resistant knit fabric comprise: a front layer of cut and abrasion resistant knit fabric and a back layer of cut and abrasion resistant knit fabric, wherein the front layer and back layer are joined together by rows of tuck stitches formed from a yarn having no more than 3.75% elongation, to avoid borrowing of yarn from adjacent areas and thus avoid having a hole open up, wherein the rows of tuck stitches are rows of alternating tuck stitches; wherein at least one panel of knit fabric is arranged such that the rows of knit stitches of the at least one panel of knit fabric are perpendicular to the rows of at least one other panel of knit fabric, wherein the front layer and back layer are each a knit jersey layer.
