Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of rotating a back stitch when knitting a tubular knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine, and a tubular knitted fabric including an area knitted by applying the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric.
  • Tubular knitted fabrics such as a sweater and a glove are knitted using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds.
  • a difference in the number of stitches held on the front and back needle beds may arise in the process of knitting such tubular knitted fabrics.
  • the number of stitches held on the front and back needle beds can be substantially equalized through the act of transferring a stitch at an end in a knitting width direction of a knitted fabric portion held on either one of the front and back needle beds to the outer side of a stitch at an end in a knitting width direction of a knitted fabric portion held on the other needle bed, or a so-called rotation.
  • the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of twisting the stitch to be rotated in advance, for the front stitch, to resolve the twist of the stitch when the relevant stitch is rotated (refer to e.g., Patent Document 1).
  • the twisted stitch is formed by hooking a knitting yarn with a knitting needle when the yarn feeder that has passed the position of the knitting needle scheduled to form the twisted stitch is inverted and again passed through the relevant knitting needle.
  • Fig. 6 shows one example of a method for twisting in advance a stitch to be rotated.
  • FB in Fig. 6 indicates a front needle bed
  • BB indicates a back needle bed
  • ⁇ indicates a yarn feeder
  • S + number indicates the number of a knitting process.
  • Such definitions are the same in Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 , and Fig. 7 , to be described later.
  • S1 of Fig. 6 shows a state before carrying out the rotation, that is, a state before moving a stitch held on a knitting needle 1 of the FB to the outer side in the knitting width direction of a stitch held on a knitting needle 2 of the BB.
  • the yarn feeder is once passed through the position of the knitting needle (knitting needle 1 of FB) scheduled to form the twisted stitch (S2), and the knitting is carried out when the yarn feeder is inverted and again passed through the position of the knitting needle (S3). New stitches are then formed following the stitches held on the knitting needles 2, 4, 6, 8 of the BB (S4).
  • the twisted stitch is formed on the knitting needle 1 of the FB through a series of knitting processes, and such twisted stitch is rotated to the opposing BB (see S5).
  • S5 represents a knitting yarn so as to show the trajectory of movement of the yarn feeder, where the actual state of the knitting yarn is the state shown in S5' and the twist of the stitch twisted in advance is resolved.
  • Patent document 1 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 5-9851 similar to US 5 692 399 A .
  • front stitch and back stitch in the present specification refers to the state in which the tubular knitted fabric is seen from the outer side of the tube, where the stitch pulled out from an old stitch from the near side to the far side in the plane of drawing is the front stitch and the stitch pulled out the other way around is the back stitch in the drawing.
  • Fig. 7 is a knitting process diagram of a case in which the rotation of the back stitch is attempted in the tubular knitted fabric in which all the stitches are back stitches based on the technical concept of forming a stitch twisted in advance, similar to the rotation of the front stitch.
  • a stitch to be rotated is the stitch held on the knitting needle 1 of the FB.
  • the stitches held on the BB are transferred to the opposing FB as a preparation for forming a new back stitch following the stitches held on the BB from the held state of the needle bed shown in S1 (S2). New stitches are formed following the transferred stitches from such a state (S3). The stitches formed in S3 are returned to the BB to become the back stitches.
  • the yarn feeder is moved rightward in the plane of drawing and once passed through the position of the knitting needle 1 of the FB (S4), and after the stitch of the knitting needle 1 of the FB is transferred for rotation to the knitting needle 1 of the opposing BB, the yarn feeder is inverted leftward in the plane of drawing to form the stitch with the knitting needle 1 of the BB (S5). Lastly, the back stitches are formed following the stitches held on the FB in S5 (S6, S7).
  • the relevant stitch is a front stitch and not a back stitch. That is, only the front stitch is obtained even when attempting to rotate the back stitch. In addition, the old stitch on which the front stitch is formed is in a twisted state.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is to provide a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric capable of rotating a back stitch without forming a twisted stitch in the tubular knitted fabric, and a tubular knitted fabric having an area knitted by applying the method.
  • a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention is a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric wherein, by using a flat knitting machine having a front and back needle bed in which at least one of the front and back needle beds is capable of being racked in a traverse direction and stitches are transferable between the front and back needle beds, a back stitch is rotated by positioning a stitch ⁇ , which is newly formed following a stitch ⁇ at the end in the knitting width direction of a one side knitted fabric portion held on one needle bed, on an outer side of a knitting width of an other side knitted fabric portion with respect to a stitch ⁇ at the end in the knitting width direction of the other side knitted fabric portion held on the other needle bed facing the one needle bed.
  • the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention includes the following steps on the assumption that the direction from the stitch ⁇ toward the knitted fabric portion is an inner side and the opposite direction is an outer side in a movement direction of a yarn feeder along an extending direction of the needle beds.
  • the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention when knitting the tubular knitted fabric including an area where a front stitch and a back stitch adjoin each other, it is preferable that when rotating the back stitch from one needle bed to the other needle bed, the steps 1 to 5 are performed, and when rotating the front stitch from the one needle bed to the other needle bed, a stitch twisted in advance is formed on the one needle bed in the knitting direction opposite to the direction in the steps 1 to 5 to rotate the twisted stitch to the other needle bed.
  • the knitting method for rotating the front stitch can use a known method as already described with reference to Fig. 6 .
  • a tubular knitted fabric can in include an area knitted by applying the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention.
  • the area for carrying out the rotation in the process of knitting the tubular knitted fabric includes the neckline of a sweater or the like, the joint portion of the thumb tubular portion in a glove along the shape of a human hand, and the like.
  • the back stitch can be rotated, and furthermore, a twisted stitch will not be formed when forming the back stitch. Therefore, the knitting method of a knitted fabric of the present invention is applicable to the knitting of the tubular knitted fabric including a rib structure in which the front stitch and the back stitch coexist.
  • the back stitch can be formed at the place desired to form the back stitch and the front stitch can be formed at the place desired to form the front stitch, and moreover, the twisted stitch will not be formed in the formation.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1
  • a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3 .
  • the knitting described in both embodiments describes a knitting example that uses a two-bed flat knitting machine having a pair front and a back needle bed extending in a traverse direction and disposed opposite to each other in a cross direction.
  • the flat knitting machine to use may, of course, be a four-bed flat knitting machine.
  • the description of the general operation irrelevant to the present invention such as the operation of transferring the stitches to the opposing needle bed to form a back stitch following the stitch held on the needle bed, and racking to move the held position of the stitches on the needle bed will be omitted.
  • the stitch ⁇ is transferred to the opposing BB, and the position of each stitch held on the FB in S2 is shifted one by one leftward in the plane of drawing by racking, and thereafter, the yarn feeder is moved rightward (inner side) in the plane of drawing to be positioned on the inner side of the transferred stitch ⁇ .
  • a stitch ⁇ shown in Fig. 1 is a stitch next, in the knitting width direction, to the stitch ⁇ in S1, where a stitch ⁇ is formed following the stitch ⁇ in S5. Thereafter, the knitting of S2 to S5 is to be repeated when continuing the rotation of the back stitch.
  • the knitting yarn is represented to show the trajectory of movement of the yarn feeder, and hence it appears as if the knitting yarn is crossed and the stitch ⁇ and the stitch ⁇ are twisted.
  • the knitting yarns are not crossed and the stitch ⁇ nor the stitch ⁇ are twisted as shown in S5'.
  • the back stitch is rotated at the time point the back stitch is formed by carrying out knitting according to the knitting process of the present embodiment.
  • other stitches also do not need to be twisted stitches when forming the back stitch.
  • the finished tubular knitted fabric is thus not disfigured.
  • a plurality of stitches lined at the end in the knitting width direction can be successively rotated by applying the knitting method of the first embodiment. For instance, when successively rotating the stitches held on the knitting needles 1, 3 of the FB in S1, the knitting similar to the knitting shown in S2 to S4 are to be repeated twice, and then the knitting similar to the knitting shown in S5 is to be carried out.
  • a new front stitch is formed following the stitches held on the knitting needle 3 of the FB and the knitting needles 2, 6 of the BB in S1
  • a new back stitch is formed following the stitches held on the knitting needles 1, 5 of the FB and the knitting needle 4 of the BB.
  • the knitting similar to the knitting of S2 to S5 shown in Fig. 1 of the first embodiment is carried out to knit the rib structure and to rotate the back stitch.
  • the rib structure is knitted on the BB while moving the yarn feeder leftward (outer side) in the plane of drawing, and then the yarn feeder is positioned on the outer side of the stitch ⁇ held on the knitting needle 1 of the FB (S2).
  • the stitch ⁇ is then transferred from the FB to the BB (S3).
  • a new stitch ⁇ is formed following the stitch ⁇ transferred in S3 (S4).
  • a new stitch, including a stitch ⁇ is then formed following the stitches of the FB not subjected to rotation (S5).
  • the rotation of the front stitch is then carried out by the knitting of S6 to S9 of Fig. 3 .
  • the knitting after S6 is returned at the stitch that acts as a turn-back point (not shown), where the knitting direction is set in the direction opposite to the knitting direction of S2 to S5, and the knitting is carried out similar to the conventional knitting method already described with reference to Fig. 6 .
  • the yarn feeder is positioned on the outer side of the existing stitch (stitch of knitting needle 2 of FB), on which a new stitch to be rotated is formed, in S6.
  • a twisted new stitch is formed by forming a stitch when turning back the yarn feeder that once passed the existing stitch and again passing the yarn feeder through the existing stitch.
  • a new stitch is formed following the stitch of the BB not subjected to rotation, and in S9, the stitch twisted in advance formed in S8 is rotated to the opposing BB.
  • the stitch that acts as the turn-back point where the knitting direction is reversed is fixed by being overlapped on the stitch proximate to the stitch of the turn-back point.
  • the tubular knitted fabric obtained through the above knitting process has the front stitch and the back stitch formed at the desired area although it is knitted with rotation carried out in the process of knitting. Furthermore, the tubular knitted fabric is not formed at all with twisted stitches in the process of knitting, and thus has an excellent appearance.
  • Fig. 4 shows a photograph of a glove knitted by applying the above knitting process.
  • Fig. 5 shows a photograph of a glove in which the rotation of the back stitch is attempted through the procedure described with reference to Fig. 7 for comparison with the tubular knitted fabric knitted with the knitting method of the present embodiment.
  • a rib structure that is not disarrayed is formed in the glove of Fig. 4 knitted by applying the knitting process of the present embodiment, whereas disarray is found at the portion of the back stitch of the rib structure circled in Fig. 5 .
  • the twisted stitch of the back stitch is formed and then rotated by one stitch, and thereafter, the twisted stitch of the front stitch is formed and rotated by one stitch, but a plurality of stitches including the front stitch and the back stitch may be rotated successively.
  • the twisted stitch of the back stitch is first formed according to the knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention, and then the twisted stitch of the front stitch is formed in the knitting direction opposite to the knitting direction of the back stitch, and lastly, such twisted stitches are rotated successively.
