[0007] Preferably, the knitwear on the side knitted from the shoulder to the hem has an additional stitch along the sleeve attachment line.

Preferably, one knitwear and the other knitwear are knitted in different designs.

[0009] Preferably, at least one of the knitwears is knitted for back use.

[0010] In the invention according to claim 7, a pair of knitwear continuously knitted at one end, and one of the knitwears is knitted as one tubular body having an opening formed at the tip end side. Starting, the tubular body is divided into a plurality of tubular bodies and knitted, and the other knitwear is continuously knitted to each tubular body of the plurality of tubular bodies of the knitwear. As described above, the plurality of tubular bodies are knitted, the plurality of tubular bodies are integrated in the middle to form a single tubular body, and the knitting end portion is subjected to a release preventing process.

[0011] Preferably, a stitch course for forming a fold at a hem boundary portion where one knitwear and the other knitwear are connected is knitted.

Preferably, the knitwear is a knitwear such as a sweater, and one of the knitwears is knitted from a shoulder side to a hem as a tubular body having a front body and a back body connected at side ends of a knitting width. The diameter of the tubular body is increased, and the sleeve is continuously biased toward the body and the sleeve portion is knitted from the shoulder to the armpit, and after the armpit, the tubular body is divided into three tubular bodies of left and right sleeves and body. The left and right sleeves and body are knitted from the hem side to the shoulder, and the other knitwear is continuously knitted to the left and right sleeves and the cylindrical body of the body constituting the knitwear. The lower left and right sleeves and the body are joined together to form a single tubular body.The sleeves and body are joined from the armpits to the shoulders to reduce the diameter of the tubular body, and the front and back bodies are joined at the shoulders And the knitting end portion is unraveled.

[0013] Preferably, a stitch course for forming a fold at a hem boundary portion where one knitwear and the other knitwear are connected is knitted.

Preferably, one knitwear and the other knitwear are knitted with different designs.

Preferably, one of the knitwears is placed on the outer layer,
It has a double structure in which the other knitwear is inserted as the inner knitwear into the outer knitwear.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. According to the first and seventh aspects of the present invention, initially, one of the knitwears is knitted as one tubular body having an opening formed at the distal end side, and then two or three tubular bodies are formed on the way. It is knitted by dividing it into more cylindrical bodies. After successively knitting the tubular bodies of the other knitwear following these tubular bodies, the tubular bodies are integrated to finish knitting as one tubular body. Thus, the pair of knitwear is connected to each other on the side knitted as a plurality of tubular bodies.
This can reduce the number of subsequently sewn parts.

Further, by forming a fold by knitting at the boundary between the connecting portions of the pair of knitwear, one knitwear is folded back and the other knitwear is inserted into the knitwear to form a knitwear having a double structure. The folded portion can be easily folded back by the fold forming portion.

In the case where the above is knitwear such as a sweater having both sleeves and a body, a tubular body of the body is started to be knitted from a shoulder side to a hem while forming an opening around a neck. Both sleeves are knitted from the shoulders to the armpits along with the body while the caliber of the body is increased by knitting. After the armpits, the tubular body is branched into three tubular bodies, that is, left and right sleeves and a body, and knitted to a hem to finish knitting of one knitwear. Next, these sleeves and the tubular body of the body are continuously knitted to knit the tubular body of the left and right sleeves and the body of the other knitwear, and then these tubular bodies are joined under the armpits to form one tubular body. Thereafter, the sleeve and the body are joined over the shoulder to reduce the diameter of the tubular body, and the front body and the rear body are joined at the shoulder to prevent the body from unraveling. As described above, the pair of knitwear is continuously knitted with the hem portion as a connecting portion, so that sewing at this portion becomes unnecessary.

If this empty needle is used to move a stitch such as an approach, the sleeve of knitwear such as a sweater and the body can be joined. The knitwear knitted in this manner can simplify or omit sewing after the knitting process. Such a knitting technique is disclosed in
1254, JP-A-2-229248, JP-A-4-209
855 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-153346, etc., are introduced in large numbers. The detailed organization of each part is referred to these publications, and the description is omitted here.

FIG. 1 shows a procedure for knitting a double sweater with a flat knitting machine together with a knitted fabric. In the double sweater 1 of this embodiment, the sleeve is set in the sweater, and the neck is V
It has a plain design on the neck and front. The double sweater 1 is composed of an outer layer sweater 3 and an inner layer sweater 5 and is connected to each other at a skirt. As shown by the arrows in the figure, the double sweater 1 starts knitting at the shoulder 11 of the outer layer sweater 3 and ends at the shoulder 67 of the inner layer sweater 5. When worn, the outer layer sweater 3, which will be described later, is folded back at the fold forming portion and turned upside down, so that the outer layer sweater 3 is knitted with the back side so that the front side becomes the front side in the worn state. On the other hand, the inner-layer sweater 5 is knitted with the front surface so that the back line is on the body side when worn.

The knitting procedure is performed as follows. The knitting of the outer layer sweater 3 is performed by a so-called reverse knitting method. Shoulder 11
, And at the same time, the neckline 13 is formed. For example, one yarn feeder is used to seamlessly knit a sweater as a tubular body having a hollow structure,
Threads are repeatedly fed in a loop around the needles for knitting each part in the order of the front body 21f, the back body 21b, the front body 21f,. The front descent of the neckline 13 of the front body 21f is formed by reversing the direction of the yarn feeder at the opening of the front neckline 13 and feeding the yarn in a C-shape. Increase knitting is performed to start knitting the left and right sleeves 23 and 25 following the shoulder. In this additional knitting, the additional stitches are repeated along the boundary while the sleeve stitches are moved toward the outer side of the tubular body with the sleeve attachment lines 27 and 29 as boundaries, so that the sleeve width is the required knitting width. Repeat until.
During this time, the diameter of the cylindrical body is gradually increased.

Next, when reaching the armpits, the tubular body is divided into three tubular bodies of left and right sleeves 23 and 25 and body 21, and a yarn feeder is allocated for knitting of the left and right sleeves 23 and 25 and each tubular body is allocated. Body 2
The knits 1, 2, 25 are knitted as separate cylindrical bodies. Sleeves 23 and 25 are side ends 31 and 3 facing body 21.
Perform knitting along 3 and reduce the sleeve diameter to 35,3
Decrease toward 7,39. 1 × 1, 2 × at the hem
Knitting is performed in a knitting structure such as 1, 2, 2 or tubular, and the knitting of the outer layer sweater 3 is completed.

Before knitting the inner layer sweater 5, knitting of the fold forming portions 41, 43 and 45 is performed following knitting of the skirts 35, 37 and 39 of the outer layer sweater 3. This fold forming part 4
1, 43 and 45 are knitted in a flat knitting course of 2 to 6 courses, preferably 3 or 4 courses by table knitting, whereby the sweater is easily folded back at the hem. The knitting of the inner layer sweater 5 is started following the knitting of the fold forming portions 41, 43, and 45. The knitting of the inner layer sweater 5 itself is not different from the knitting of the known sweater at all, and the sleeves 53, 57,
The body 55 is knitted separately from the hem 47, 49, 51 to the armpit as a cylindrical body.
The knitting is increased along the side end portions 59 and 61 opposed to the above, and the sleeve diameter is increased.

From the armpits, the sleeves 53 and 57 and the body 55 are joined along the sleeve attachment lines 63 and 65 and are knitted to a shoulder 67 as one cylindrical body. At that time, the knitting of the neckline 69 is performed in parallel. The front body 55f and the back body 55b are joined by the shoulder 67, and after performing a non-raveling process, such as a blind face, the flat knitting machine is used to finish the knitting and complete knitting.

Next, the double sweater 1 knitted as shown in FIG.
The outer layer sweater 3 is folded back at the folded portions 41, 43, and 45 so as to cover the inner layer sweater 5 with the outer layer sweater 3, and the inner layer sweater 5 is inserted into the outer layer sweater 3 to obtain the wearing state shown in FIG. . Figure 2 shows outer layer sweater 3
5 shows a state where a part of the hem side of the inner layer sweater 5 is inserted into the inside. FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the double sweater along line IV-IV in FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the double sweater along line VV in FIG. In the figure, b indicates the back face, and f indicates the front face. Since the outer layer sweater 3 is knitted with the back side, the front side of the sweater becomes the front side when worn. In addition, since the inner layer sweater 5 is formed with a front face, the body side becomes the back face like a general sweater. In FIG. 1, outer layer sweater 3
After knitting, the inner layer sweater is knitted. Alternatively, the outer layer sweater may be knitted after the inner layer sweater is knitted.

[0030]

[Modifications] In the above embodiment, a two-bed flat knitting machine knitting using every other needle has been described. However, the double sweater of the present invention can be produced by using a flat knitting machine other than the above. The following is an example of a case using another method.

First, a case where a four-bed flat knitting machine is used will be described. The four-bed flat knitting machine is a knitting machine in which a pair of needle beds is further added on each needle bed of a two-bed flat knitting machine. In this case, the side that appears in front of the front body or sleeve (front knitted fabric) when attached is attached to the lower front needle bed, and the side that appears after the back body or sleeve (rear knitted fabric) is attached to the lower back needle bed. The surface of the front knitted fabric is knitted with the lower front needle bed, and the back of the front knitted fabric is knitted with the needle of the upper rear needle bed. The back stitch is knitted using the needle of the upper front needle bed. In the four-bed flat knitting machine, the knitting steps of the above-described embodiment may be converted into a method according to the above and executed. For example, the back of the front body 21f of the outer layer sweater 3 uses the needle of the upper rear needle bed. Organized. Unless there are special circumstances, the knitting steps
There is no difficulty in converting from a single-bed flat knitting machine to a four-bed flat knitting machine or vice versa.

In the case of a four-bed flat knitting machine, there is no restriction that each knitted fabric is knitted using every other needle as in the case of a two-bed flat knitting machine. This makes it possible to knit a double sweater with finer stitches.

As another example, the needle is composed of a needle body and a slider, and the slider is formed by stacking two thin plates.
Knitting can also be performed using a flat knitting machine having a composite needle called a slide needle having a tongue at the tip. As a flat knitting machine equipped with this kind of needle, a computer flat knitting machine manufactured by Shima Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (product name: SWG-FI)
RST, SWG-X) are on sale. SWG-FI
RST is classified as a two-bed flat knitting machine, and SWG-X is classified as a four-bed flat knitting machine. By using this slide needle, a knitting technique called holding can be used. Holding is a technology related to depositing stitches.The stitches originally locked to the needle are held by the hooks of the needle body, and the same stitches are received by receiving another stitch transferred on the tongue of the slider. This means that two different stitches are held on the needle in a state where they are separated from each other.

For details of the holding, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-43849.
By using this, the back stitch of the front body knitted on the back needle bed of the sweater that is knitted in a cylindrical shape is held by the needle that locks the front needle bed, and similarly knitted with the front needle bed of the back body If knitted back stitches are held to the needles that lock the front stitches of the rear needle bed, each knitted fabric can secure empty needles for back stitch knitting on the opposing needle beds. The number of wales at the hem can be doubled.

Although the knitting procedure of the double sweater has been described above, the design of the sweater is not limited to the above, and can be applied to various types. For example, a sleeve type such as raglan, T-sleeve, picolet, etc. can be selected instead of set-in. The neck opening may be a U neck, a round neck, or the like instead of the V neck. It is also possible to change the design of the outer layer sweater and the inner layer sweater independently. For example, the inner layer sweater is set in, the outer layer sweater is raglan, the outer layer sweater is knitted with every other needle, the inner layer is knitted with all the needles, and the gauge of the outer layer sweater is coarser than that of the inner layer sweater. The outer layer sweater has a fashionable design, and the inner layer sweater is knitted with a highly hygroscopic knitting yarn or knitting structure so as to have functionality, etc. Other knitting material parameters may be changed to perform knitting. Also, by knitting the inner layer sweater with a smaller tube diameter than the outer layer sweater, the outer layer sweater can be easily folded back and the sweater can be restrained from being worn when worn. In addition, the outer layer sweater was formed on the back side and the inner layer sweater was formed on the outer side,
The inner layer sweater can also be formed as a backing and used as the outer layer of the sweater.

In the above embodiment, for convenience of explanation, one is an outer layer sweater and the other is an inner layer sweater.
It is needless to say that the outer layer sweater or the inner layer sweater can be used depending on how the sweater is folded, so that the sweater can be worn as a reversible sweater. Furthermore, while the above description has shown an example of a sweater with sleeves as the knitwear, the knitwear to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the above-mentioned sweater, and is commonly referred to as tights or a finger cut having an opening at the tip of a fingertip. Starting with five-fingered socks and gloves, the knitting is started as one tubular body having an opening formed on the tip side, and the tubular body is divided into a plurality of tubular bodies and knitted, and the other knitwear Are knitted as a plurality of tubular bodies so that each tubular body is continuously knitted on each of the plurality of tubular bodies of the knitwear, and the plurality of tubular bodies are integrated in the middle to form one piece. Including knitwear in the form of a tubular body.
