Protected float

1. A knitted component, comprising:

a first course having a first yarn type and formed with a double jersey knit structure and a second course having a second yarn type;

a first surface at least partially formed by the first course;

a cavity formed within the knitted component that is recessed relative to the first surface; and

a first float formed by the course of the second yarn type that extends across the cavity, wherein the double jersey knit structure is located on a first side of the first float such that the first float is exposed within the cavity.

2. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the first surface corresponds with an outermost surface of the knitted component.

3. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the cavity has a depth between 1 mm and 5 mm, inclusive.

4. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the cavity has a width between 2 mm and 10 mm, inclusive.

5. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the first float is recessed relative to the first surface.

6. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the course of the second yarn type comprises a stitch that is knitted into the knitted component adjacent the float.

7. The knitted component of claim 6 , wherein the course of the second yarn type further comprises a second stitch, and wherein the second stitch is knitted into the knitted component on an opposite side of the cavity.

8. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the first surface conceals the stitch of the course of the second yarn type from the perspective facing the first surface.

9. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the second yarn type comprises a thermoplastic polymer material.

10. The knitted component of claim 1 , wherein the course of the second yarn type further comprises a second float having a length different than the length of the first float.

11. An upper, comprising:

a knit layer at least partially formed by a course of a first yarn type and having multi-bed construction, the knit layer comprising a first surface;

a cavity formed within the knit layer by the multi-bed construction that is recessed relative to the first surface; and

a first course of a second yarn type comprising a first knit stitch and a first float that extends across the cavity, wherein the first knit stitch is interlooped with the knit layer,

wherein the first float has a first length, and wherein the knit layer is located on a first side of the first float at the cavity such that the first float is exposed from a viewing perspective facing the first surface within the cavity.

12. The upper of claim 11 , wherein the first course of the second yarn type extends from a medial region to a lateral region.

13. The upper of claim 11 , wherein the first course of the second yarn type extends from one of a medial region and the lateral region to a throat region.

14. The upper of claim 11 , further comprising a second course of the second yarn type comprising a second float that extends across a second cavity.

15. The upper of claim 14 , wherein the second course of the second yarn type is spaced apart from the first course of the second yarn type by a first distance that is at least 5 mm.

16. The upper of claim 15 , further comprising a third course and a fourth course of the second yarn type that are spaced apart from each other by a second distance,

wherein the first and second courses of the second yarn type are located in a first region of the upper and the third and fourth courses of the second yarn type are located in a second region of the upper.

17. The upper of claim 11 , further comprising a sole structure secured to the knit layer.

18. A knitted component, comprising:

a knit layer having a first knit surface, wherein the first knit layer includes a depression on the first knit surface formed by a double jersey knit structure, the depression at least partially forming a cavity; and

a floating length of a first yarn,

wherein the double jersey knit construction is located on a first side of the floating length such that the floating length extends through the cavity.

19. The knitted component of claim 18 , wherein the first yarn includes a knit stitch that is interlooped with the first knit layer.

20. The knitted component of claim 18 , wherein the first yarn includes an inlaid portion that extends between the first surface and a second surface of the knit layer.
