A method of manufacturing a knit component, the method comprising: knitting a first knit course (340; 420; 620) with a first yarn type, a second yarn type, and a third yarn type, wherein the third yarn type comprises an activatable yarn type which responds to a stimulus such that the activatable yarn dissipates, dissolves, or melts; after dropping out the first yarn type, knitting a second knit course (350; 421; 621) with the second yarn type and the third yarn type, wherein the second knit course (350; 421; 621) is interlooped with the first knit course (340; 420; 620); after dropping out the second yarn type, knitting an intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622) with the third yarn type, wherein the intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622) is interlooped with the second knit course (350; 421; 621); after dropping in the second yarn type, knitting a third knit course (370; 424; 624) with the second yarn type and the third yarn type, wherein the third knit course (370; 424; 624) is interlooped with the intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622); and after dropping in the first yarn type, knitting a fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) with the first yarn type, the second yarn type, and the third yarn type, wherein the fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) is interlooped with the third knit course (370; 424; 624), and wherein the first knit course (340; 420; 620) is knit with the fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) using a tuck stitch (325, 326, 328, 329, 330; 428, 430, 432) or a held stitch (325, 326, 328, 329, 330; 628, 630, 632) at two or more intervals (316a, 316b, 316c, 316d, 316e; 416a, 416b, 416c; 616a, 616b, 616c) comprising one or more wales during a knitting sequence. knitting a first knit course (340; 420; 620) with a first yarn type, a second yarn type, and a third yarn type, wherein the third yarn type comprises an activatable yarn type which responds to a stimulus such that the activatable yarn dissipates, dissolves, or melts; after dropping out the first yarn type, knitting a second knit course (350; 421; 621) with the second yarn type and the third yarn type, wherein the second knit course (350; 421; 621) is interlooped with the first knit course (340; 420; 620); after dropping out the second yarn type, knitting an intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622) with the third yarn type, wherein the intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622) is interlooped with the second knit course (350; 421; 621); after dropping in the second yarn type, knitting a third knit course (370; 424; 624) with the second yarn type and the third yarn type, wherein the third knit course (370; 424; 624) is interlooped with the intermediate knit course (322; 422; 622); and after dropping in the first yarn type, knitting a fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) with the first yarn type, the second yarn type, and the third yarn type, wherein the fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) is interlooped with the third knit course (370; 424; 624), and wherein the first knit course (340; 420; 620) is knit with the fourth knit course (380; 426; 626) using a tuck stitch (325, 326, 328, 329, 330; 428, 430, 432) or a held stitch (325, 326, 328, 329, 330; 628, 630, 632) at two or more intervals (316a, 316b, 316c, 316d, 316e; 416a, 416b, 416c; 616a, 616b, 616c) comprising one or more wales during a knitting sequence.
