A Jacquard fabric includes a Jacquard yarn plaited into a base knit structure such as, for example, a "Sleeknit" structure. The fabric may be knitted on a warp knitting machine having at least four guide bars, the frontmost guide bar being a Jacquard guide bar, with the Jacquard yarn being knitted in a knit-float-knit sequence. The two middle guide bars are, for example, fully threaded with multifilament synthetic yarns (e.g. Nylon or polyester), which knit on alternate courses and float on alternate courses. The backmost bar may be fully threaded with, for example, an elastomeric fiber (e.g. Lycra Spandex) which may be laid into the structure during knitting. In an exemplary method for producing the fabric of the present invention, the two middle guide bars knit on alternate courses, so that only one of these bars is knitting on any one course. The arrangement allows the Jacquard yarn to be plaited into the same course and stitch as the finer multifilament yarn on the odd-numbered courses, creating a softer fabric. In addition, the fabric may be produced without a dropping of the stitch from the needle, even when the Jacquard guide bar is being deflected.
