We claim:

1. A knitted component, comprising:

a base portion formed with a plurality of courses extending generally in a course-wise direction of the knitted component; and

a tubular knit structure forming a raised structure located on a first side of the base portion, wherein the raised structure includes a plurality of uninterrupted consecutive loops of a first course,

wherein the first course of the raised structure is angled at least 5 degrees relative to the course-wise direction of the base portion at a location immediately adjacent to the tubular knit structure.

2. The knitted component of claim 1 ,

wherein the raised structure further includes a second course and a third course, wherein the first course is interlooped with the second course, and wherein the second course is interlooped with the third course.

3. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein a first loop couples a first end of the raised structure to the base portion of the knitted component, wherein a second loop couples a second end of the raised structure to the base portion, and wherein the first loop and the second loop are offset in a wale-wise direction, the wale-wise direction being perpendicular to the course-wise direction.

4. The knitted component of claim 3, wherein at least one of the first loop and the second loop is formed with at least one yarn having a tenacity greater than about 5 g/D.

5. The knitted component of claim 1 , further comprising a margin extending

along a longitudinal edge of the raised structure, wherein the margin is formed with a yarn having a tenacity greater than about 5 g/D.

16

6. The knitted component of claim 1 , further comprising a margin extending along a longitudinal edge of the raised structure, wherein the margin has a color that is different than a color of the raised structure.

7. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the raised structure is elevated at least 3 mm with respect to the base portion of the knitted component.

8. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the raised structure has a length of at least 5 mm.

9. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the base portion includes a

plurality of courses extending generally in the course-wise direction such that the plurality of courses of the base portion are angled relative to the raised structure.

10. A knitted component, comprising:

a base portion;

a tubular knit structure forming a raised structure located on a first side of the base portion; and

a first margin extending along a first longitudinal edge of the raised structure,

wherein the first margin includes a yarn having a tenacity of at least

5 g/D.

1 1. The knitted component of claim 10, further comprising a second margin

extending along a second longitudinal edge of the raised structure, the second longitudinal edge being opposite the first longitudinal edge, wherein the second margin includes a yarn having a tenacity of at least 5 g/D.

12. The knitted component of claim 10, wherein the first margin has a color that is different than a color of the tubular knit structure.

13. The knitted component of claim 10, wherein the raised structure is angled relative to a course-wise direction of the knitted component.

17

14. The knitted component of claim 13, wherein the angle of the raised structure relative to the course-wise direction is at least 5 degrees.

15. The knitted component of claim 13, wherein courses of the first margin are substantially parallel to courses of the raised structure.

16. The knitted component of claim 10, wherein the raised structure is elevated at least 3 mm with respect to the base portion of the knitted component.

17. The knitted component of claim 16, wherein the first margin is substantially flush with the base portion.

18. A method, comprising:

knitting a tubular knit structure to form a raised structure on a base portion of a knitted component;

securing the tubular knit structure a first loop and a second loop;

interlooping the first loop to a base portion of the knitted component at a first location;

holding the second loop on a needle bed of a knitting machine while knitting at least two courses of the base portion with the knitting machine; and interlooping the second loop to the base portion of the knitted component at a second location.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the first location and the second location are offset in a wale-wise direction.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the raised structure is angled at least

5 degrees with respect to a course-wise direction.
