Openwork fabric
First Claim
1. A tubular net formed of an openwork fabric comprising alternating cojoined and intermediate members, each intermediate member comprising a filament assembly and each cojoined member comprising a pair of filament assemblies that are worked together, each filament assemblies being extensible and comprises of one or more filaments that comprise elastic thread such that the open work fabric is elastically extensible in both longitudinal and transverse directions such that when stuffed with a food product the alternating cojoined and intermediate members stretch to provide indentations on the food product to define a surface pattern wherein the shape and size varies with a diameter of the food product retained within the tubular netwherein each cojoined member comprises a pair of adjacent filament assemblies that transition from adjacent first and second intermediate members by joining to form a first end of a cojoined member and separate at a second end of the cojoined member to form adjacent third and fourth intermediate members, and each intermediate member comprises a chain stitch to form a filament assembly, and each cojoined member comprises a chain stitch of a pair of filament assemblies.
