Abstract: A crochet knitted decorative ribbon is formed of longitudinally alternating integral first and second sections. Throughout the length of the ribbon, there exists a plurality of side-by-side, longitudinally extending continuous warp yarns. Further, throughout the ribbon, a continuous weft yarn interconnects adjacent warps at connecting points defined by chain stitches at alternating intervals. The first sections constitute flat solid pattern sections, with the weft yarns extending sinusoidally across the full width of the ribbon and longitudinally over the full length of the section. In each second section, continuous weft yarn portions interconnect only given sets of at least one warp yarn at connecting points defined by chain stitches at alternating intervals, leaving free longitudinal spaces between respective adjacent strands.
