To obtain a knitted fabric high in water permeability and rapidly drying properties and excellent in cushioning properties.
This knitted fabric of multilayer structure is obtained by using a synthetic fiber multifilament having 0.5-2 single fiber denier on the obverse external layer, a synthetic fiber multifilament having 2-6 single fiber denier on the reverse external layer and a synthetic fiber monofilament having 10-40 single fiber denier in the middle layer. The reverse external layer has the single yarn fineness of the multifilament of 1-6 times as much as that of the middle layer, the middle layer has the single yarn fineness of the single yarn fineness of the multifilament of 1.5-6 times as much as that of the observe external layer to provide the knitted fabric of multilayer structure with water permeability and rapidly drying properties. The middle layer is obtained by using both a synthetic fiber multifilament having 1-3.5 denier single yarn fineness and the monofilament in the weight ratio of 75:25 to 40:60 and is provided with water permeability and cushioning properties. The surface of either external layer is furnished with an uneven structure to raise rapidly drying properties and absorption properties and the knitted fabric is subjected to antimicrobial processing.
