Abstract: An improved warp knit having colored surfaces comprised of three or more colors can be made across the same wales. Threads having a color which is covered in one colored surface run as floats, and threads with a color forming the colored surface are placed in a pattern connecting the floats with one another. A fabric or twill pattern extends across at least a number of wales which is less by 1 than the number of colors. Accordingly adjacent floats consist of at least two differently colored threads.
