A method of knitting an elastic drawcord product and an elastic band and drawcord composite product are described. The method involves knitting a pair of elastic webs in a laterally spaced relationship to each other, and securing a drawcord within the space between the elastic webs by way of first and second tying yarns. The first tying yarn reciprocates across the space between the first and second elastic webs and is alternatively secured to the side edges thereof along the front face of the elastic webs. The second tying yarn reciprocates across the space between the first and second elastic webs and is alternatively secured to the side edges thereof along the rear face of the webs, and the drawcord is secured between the two elastic webs and the first and second tying yarns. The tying yarns can be reciprocated for a number of courses, then held along the side of one of the webs for a predetermined number of courses before resuming reciprocation, to form sets of tie legs which cover spaced apart portions of the space between the elastic webs. The elastic drawcord product can be integrally formed on a knitting machine with the drawcord being inserted while the elastic threads in the elastic webs are in an extended form, to provide a drawcord with an effective length which is longer than that of the elastic band in its unextended condition.

[ That which is claimed:] [1.]1. A method of making an elastic drawcord product comprising the steps of:knitting first and second elastic webs in a laterally spaced-apart relationship relative to each other, said webs having front and rear band surfaces and longitudinally extending side edges, and while knitting the webs,feeding a first tying yarn in a reciprocating manner between the first and second elastic webs such that said tying yarn is secured to an edge of each of the webs along the front surfaces thereof, and feeding a second tying yarn in a reciprocating manner between the first and second elastic webs such that the tying yarn is secured to an edge of each of the webs along the rear surfaces thereof, and feeding a drawcord between the first and second elastic webs such that said drawcord is captured between said first tying yarn and said second tying yarn, to thereby form a composite drawcord product.
