Abstract: The present invention relates to a knitted fabric which can be produced at low cost and can exhibit a stable color effect, and a method of knitting such a fabric. A warp-knitted fabric (1) consists of a base (2) and ridge portions (6) formed along a knitting direction, each ridge portion (6) is composed of a top portion (3) and two side wall portions (4, 5) respectively formed at both sides of the top portion (3), and the top portion (3) and the side wall portions (4, 5) are respectively formed by chain-stitch rows formed by knitting yarns having different colors from one another. The warp-knitted fabric (1) exhibits a color effect such that the color thereof visually recognized by an observer who looks at the warp-knitted fabric (1) from a direction intersecting the knitting direction is changed in accordance with the position of the observer.

Abstract: A woven/knitted fabric (1) has a plurality of ridges (6) formed along one direction, and each ridge (6) is constituted by a top (3) and side walls (4), (5) under the top (3). At least one of the top (3) and side walls (4), (5) is different in color from other two of them. At least part of the plurality of ridges (6) is arranged such that a distance L4 between the ridges (6) adjacent to each other is 0.2 to 2.5 mm. The ridges (6) are set so as to satisfy the following relations: Ratio Ra=(L2+L3)/L4=0.8 to 7.9; Ratio Rb=L1/(L2+L3)=0.4 to 1.6; Ratio Rc=L2/L3=0.2 to 0.9; and Ratio Rd=L1/L5=0.4 to 1.2, where L1 is a width of the top (3), L2 is a thickness of the top (3), L3 is a height of the side walls (4), (5), and L5 is a distance between wall surfaces of the side walls (4), (5).
