Claim:
A terminal knitting texture formed as a single welt consisting of a single knit fabric comprising: a set up area, wherein a plurality of courses of the set up area where knitting of the terminal knitting texture begins is composed of a combination of specified wale knit or wale tuck and wale miss patterns, and wherein the set up area is knit with a first-kind knitting yarn, consisting of a single covering yarn having a thick elastic core yarn, in such a way that the first-kind knitting yarn prevents the set up area of the terminal knitting texture from curling outward; and a welt knitting area which is continuous with the set up area, wherein courses knit with the first-kind knitting yarn are combined with courses knit with a knitting yarn having a lower stretch force than that of the first-kind knitting yarn, and wherein the welt knitting area has courses each composed of a repeated one-wale tuck and one-wale to three-wale miss pattern and courses each composed of an all-wale knitting pattern, wherein subsequently to continuously arranged two to three courses each composed of the all-wale knit pattern, one course composed of the repeated one-wale tuck and one-wale to three-wale miss pattern is provided, the courses each composed of the repeated one-wale tuck and one-wale to three-wale miss pattern are knit with the first-kind knitting yarn, and the courses each composed of the all-wale knit pattern are knit with a second-kind knitting yarn consisting of a single covering yarn provided with an elastic core yarn thinner than that of at least one of the first-kind knitting yarn and a knitting yarn having a lower stretch force than that of the second-kind knitting yarn.
