PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a solvent spun cellulose fiber knitted fabric having excellent extension recovery, by which the knitted fabric having excellent fit touch and excellent extension recovery without deteriorating the characteristics of the solvent spun cellulose fibers, suitably used for underwear, T-shirts or outer wear, and not deteriorating the characteristics, even when worn for a long period, can be obtained, while the solvent spun cellulose fibers do not have the natural crimps of cotton or the like and the crimps of synthetic fiber false-twisted yarn, hence do not have a force for shrinking a knitted fabric, but exhibit an untwisting force similarly in the case of crimps, when the spun yarn is largely twisted, thereby enabling the production of a knitted fabric having excellent extension and extension recovery. SOLUTION: This method for producing the solvent spun cellulose fiber knitted fabric having excellent extension recovery is characterized by using spun yarns consisting mainly of the solvent spun cellulose fibers having a twist coefficient of ≥4.0 and knitting the spun yarns with an interlock circular knitting machine in which knitting noodles are disposed on a circular rib.
