Method for Producing a Seat Cover for a Vehicle Seat Made of a Form-Fit Knit Part

A method produces a seat cover for a vehicle seat made of a form-fit knit part. The form-fit knit part has continuous fibers and reinforcing fibers, and each of the reinforcing fibers is made of a core fiber and a cladding fiber coaxially sheathing the core fiber. The form-fit knit part is first produced using a knitting machine, and the seat cover is subsequently produced from the form-fit knit part using an ironing machine. The ironing machine has at least one lower mold in the shape of the vehicle seat, and the core fiber has a higher melting point than the cladding fiber.
