  Polyamide/elastane knitted fabrics with directionally oriented compressive ability was studied. Knitting designs with coursewise, diagonal, walewise, and both coursewise and walewise compressive orientations were created and analysed at four different angles (0º, +45º, -45º and 90º) and up to 50% elongation. At the same stretching and same direction (angle), the tensile force was higher for samples from Serie B (only the elastane was producing miss stitches) than for samples from Serie A (polyamide and elastane yarns were simultaneously producing miss stitches), in most of the cases. There are higher differences between tensile force values of samples from Serie B with the different number of miss stitches, however, very little difference in tensile force values is seen between samples from Serie A with the different number of miss stitches, in mos..
