Description

  The present invention relates to a sock that fits a foot and a knitting method.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a sock knitting method that eliminates looseness at the heel portion and fits comfortably on the entire foot and is comfortable to wear. If you make a straight tubular knitted fabric with the number of loops in the arch part that is a small diameter part, the number of loops in the finger bag part will be insufficient, and it will be difficult to wear, and there will be a problem that the comfort of the finger bag will deteriorate, The diameter is increased to increase the number of finger bag loops, and elastic yarn is used to match the arch.

JP-A-11-107003

  However, with respect to the three-dimensional shape of the foot, it is an adjustment using the elastic yarn having a large increase / decrease in the number of stitches in the course direction and a large degree of expansion / contraction, and the cross-sections of the fingertip portion and the ankle portion shown in FIGS. As can be seen from the above, the height (thickness) of the foot varies depending on the position, but this is not particularly taken into consideration, and the instep on the thumb side near the ankle tends to be stretched, and the little finger side of the fingertip tends to loosen. It will be easy to take off.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a sock that fits the entire foot and is difficult to stretch or loosen and a knitting method thereof.

  The present invention relates to a sock knitting method in which a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds is used, and the upper side and the sole side are knitted into a cylindrical shape, and the value of the sock is determined with respect to the upper side stitch on the thumb side. Knitting with a small value for the bottom side stitch on the thumb side and a small value for the back side of the little finger side and the bottom side of the little finger side. A plurality of courses knitted with a plurality of values are provided.

  In addition, the present invention is such that the stitch on the thumb side is directed from the fingertip to the ankle direction, and the stitches on the thumb side are knitted on the little finger side while gradually increasing the stitch value and gradually knitting a large stitch. The size of the stitches with the upper and sole stitches is gradually increased, and the stitches that gradually increase from the small stitches to the large stitches are knitted in the position between the large and small stitches of the one knitting course. To do.

  The present invention also relates to a sock in which the upper side and the sole side are knitted in a cylindrical shape, wherein the stitch on the upper side of the thumb side is large and the stitch on the bottom side of the thumb side is small, and the upper side on the little finger side and the foot on the little finger side A sock characterized by having a small stitch at the bottom and a stitch that reduces the difference between the stitches at a position between the large and small stitches.

  According to the present invention, according to the shape of the foot, by knitting a large stitch at a high height and a small stitch at a low height, knitting of a sock that is difficult to stretch or loosen when worn is possible.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, stitches having different sizes can be smoothly connected by knitting stitches having a size between large and small stitches.

  Moreover, according to this invention, it is a sock from which the good fit which is hard to stretch | tuck or loosen when it wears is obtained.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the Example shown below, it has a pair of needle beds extended in the left-right direction, opposing, and has a mountain cam in which the position can be freely changed during the knitting of one knitting course, and a plurality of degree values Use a flat knitting machine that can set

  This embodiment is a case where the heeled five-finger socks (for right foot) 1 shown in FIG. 1 are knitted. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are schematic diagrams showing the size of a stitch at each part in the present embodiment. FIG. 1 (a) shows the back side, and FIG. 1 (b) shows the sole side. It is shown. Portions surrounded by dotted lines indicate areas 10 to 13 having different stitch sizes. A right-pointing broken line arrow shown in the figure schematically shows a change in the size of the stitches in one knitting course, and the position on each folding line shows that the stitches are larger on the ankle side in the figure. The horizontal portion indicates that the size of the stitches is the same, rising to the right indicates that the stitch gradually increases, and decreasing to the right indicates that the stitch gradually decreases. Further, the portion that rises to the right or falls to the right also indicates that the stitches that make the difference between the large and small stitches arranged on the left and right side smaller are knitted in stages. Regarding the knitting of the stitch, the size of the stitch is formed by providing a difference in the drawing amount of the knitting needle in accordance with the setting (degree value) of the mountain cam (not shown). For example, when the large stitches are arranged side by side as the degree 50 and the small stitches are arranged side by side, the degree difference becomes 10 and the difference in the stitches is conspicuous. By knitting, the difference in stitches can be made inconspicuous.

  The knitting procedure in the present embodiment is as follows. First, a knitting yarn is fed across the knitting needles of the needle bed before and after the flat knitting machine, and the thumb finger bag 5 and the index finger finger bag 6 knitted from the fingertip portions, respectively. Knitting finger bags 7 for middle finger, finger bag 8 for ring finger, and finger bag 9 for little finger, and after connecting them, knit body 4 of one tubular knitted fabric, After knitting the heel part 2 by turn-up knitting that folds the floor back into a C shape, knitting it further into the cylinder up to the foot insertion port 3, and then making a bind on the stitches of the final course to complete the hooked five-finger socks To do.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a cross section of the body 4. Based on FIG. 2, the contents of changing the size of the stitch in one knitting course will be described. 2A, 2B, and 2C are cross-sectional views taken along arrows XX, YY, and ZZ in FIG. 1, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), at the XX position close to the fingertip, the height of the little finger side and the thumb side is almost the same even when the foot is inserted, and the area surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. A small stitch is knitted with the instep and the sole of the little finger shown by 10 and 12, and the center of gravity when worn is easily applied to the little finger side, thereby preventing the deviation at the little finger side position that is easily displaced. In addition, on the thumb side indicated by the areas 11 and 13 surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the sole is knitted with the same small stitch as the little finger side, and the upper is knitted with a slightly larger stitch.

  At the Y-Y position shown in the center of the torso 4, there is an arch part shown by area 13 at the bottom of the thumb, and the stitches cover a wide range according to the top of the arch part to match the shape of the foot. And weave small. The insteps and soles on the little finger side shown in areas 10 and 12 are also knitted small like the position of XX. In the instep on the thumb side indicated by the area 11, the height is further increased in accordance with the shape of the foot, and the stitches are knitted to be large.

  Further, although the state on the little finger side hardly changes at the position of the cross-section ZZ, the height on the thumb side when wearing is increased in accordance with the thickness of the foot and gradually higher than the fingertip. Also, the difference in stitch size with the little finger side is gradually increasing, and even on the fold line that shows the size of the stitch, the number of stitches increases as the number of stitches rising to the right and falling to the right increases. Is not conspicuous. The size of the stitches shown in each area 10 to 13 shows the same stitch size as the positions of XX and YY, but the height at the back on the thumb side shown in area 11 is the highest, The size of the stitches is also maximum, and the number of stitches to be knitted small is reduced in the arch portion indicated by area 13 as compared with the Y-Y position where the stitches to be knitted small are maximum. Within one knitting course, the size of the stitch is changed and the expansion and contraction of the stitch is adjusted.

  The areas that rise to the right and fall to the right included in each area are knitted with stitches that gradually reduce the difference between the large and small stitches arranged side by side. In this case, the number of stitches and the size of the stitches are determined by the material, the gauge, the total number of stitches, the difference between the large and small stitches, etc., as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b). Considering the number of stitches and the difference between large and small stitches for each part on the sole side, fingertip side, heel side, thumb side, and little finger side, adjust the size of each part by reducing the step size of the stitches. Higher fit and sock texture can be enhanced. On the other hand, when the size difference between the stitches is small or the number of stitches is small, the stitches may be adjusted only at necessary portions. By changing the size of the stitch, the expansion and contraction according to the shape of the foot becomes uniform, and tension and loosening can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the broken line arrows shown in FIG. 1 are provided with three horizontal lines on the back side and two horizontal lines on the sole side. However, the number is not limited to this number and position, and a larger number is provided. Also good. In that case, by adding stitches that gradually reduce the size difference between large and small stitches, it is possible to obtain a finish with a better appearance and a higher fit. Further, in the present embodiment, the sock has five finger bags, but a so-called round tip with one finger bag or two socks with two finger bags may be used. By adjusting the stitch size in the body part 4, the fit can be increased. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the knitting is performed from the fingertip to the wearer's mouth, but knitting in the reverse direction may be performed.

It is the schematic which shows the magnitude | size of the stitch in each site | part in the Example of this invention. Sectional drawing in each part of XX, YY, ZZ in FIG. 1 in the Example of this invention is shown.
