Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of joining fabrics which ensures an attached part of two fabrics to have sufficient elasticity even if the two fabrics, each independently knitted, are joined by a cast-off knitting with edge parts of the two fabrics in a wale direction being opposed to each other.SOLUTION: A method comprises repeatedly forming cast-offs P1 and P2 in each of a first fabric 100 and a second fabric 200 when starting to join both fabrics 100 and 200 from the boundary between the first fabric 100 and the second fabric 200. Between the formation of the cast-off P1 in the first fabric 100 and the formation of the cast-off P2 in the second fabric 200, a cross stith R is formed at any of front and rear empty needles of a needle bed and subsequently transferred from the needle bed, thereby gaining the length of a thread connecting the first cast-off P1 and the second cast-off P2.

Description

  The present invention uses a flat knitting machine, a method for joining knitted fabrics that are joined together by a bind-off process in a state in which the ends in the wale direction of two knitted fabrics arranged in the knitting width direction are knitted together, and the The present invention relates to a knitted fabric obtained by applying a joining method.

  Conventionally, two knitted fabrics are knitted independently by a flat knitting machine, and are joined by a bind off process in a state in which wale end portions of the knitted fabrics are attached to each other. For example, when the sweater 1 having the body 2 shown in FIG. 8A and the sleeves 3 and 4 is knitted, as shown in FIG. 8B, the body 2 knitted to the position of the neckline and the body 2 are In some cases, independently knitted heels 20 are joined. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 (C), the knitting is started from the right cuff portion 30 into a cylindrical shape, knitted to the end of the left sleeve 4, and the left cuff portion 40 knitted independently from the knitted fabric. May be knitted and joined together. This is because there is a need to form the neck hole and cuffs of the sweater 1 by the set-up portion because the set-up portion of the knitted fabric is generally superior in elasticity to the end portion of the knitting.

  As a technique for joining two knitted fabrics knitted independently by bind-off processing, there is a technique described in Patent Document 1, for example. In the technique of Patent Document 1, stitches of two knitted fabrics are first overlapped, and a new stitch following the double overlap is formed. Then, the new stitch and the double overlap stitch obtained by overlapping the stitches of the two knitted fabrics in the vicinity of the new stitch are overlapped to form a new stitch following the triple overlap. repeat.

Japanese Patent No. 2538406

  In the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, depending on the type of knitting yarn used for knitting, there is a possibility that sufficient stretchability cannot be obtained at the joint of two knitted fabrics. This is because a triple stitch is formed at the joint as described above.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its purposes is to join the two knitted fabric knitted fabrics that are knitted independently by the bind-off process in a state in which the ends of the wales are butted together. An object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric joining method capable of sufficiently securing the stretchability of the joint portion, and a knitted fabric knitted by applying the method.

The present invention has at least a pair of front and back needle beds, and at least one of the front and back needle beds can be racked to the left and right, using a flat knitting machine capable of transferring stitches between the front and back needle beds. The knitted fabric is joined by the bind off process in a state in which the end portions in the wale direction of the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric that are knitted in the knitted width direction are in contact with each other. In the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the following [1] and [2] are used in the same knitting yarn when starting the joining of the two knitted fabrics from the boundary between the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric. And repeat alternately.
[1] Among the two stitches arranged at the boundary side end in the first knitted fabric, the two stitches are overlapped so that the stitch on the boundary side becomes the first bind-off formed on the first knitted fabric, To form a new stitch that will be the first bind-off after the second stitch.
[2] Of the two stitches arranged at the boundary side end in the second knitted fabric, the two stitches are overlapped so that the stitch on the boundary side becomes the second bind-off formed on the second knitted fabric, A new stitch to be the next second bind-off is formed following the overlap.
In the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a stitch is formed on an empty needle on either the front or back of the needle bed between the formation of the first bind and the formation of the second bind in the repetition process, By removing it from the needle bed later, the yarn length connecting the first bind-off and the second bind-off is earned.

  According to the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first bind-off and the second bind-off are formed alternately as follows: first bind-off → second bind-off → first bind-off → second bind-off. In addition, the formation of the hanger may be performed between the formation of the first bind and the formation of the second bind, or may be performed between the formation of the second bind and the formation of the first bind, You may go between both. On the other hand, the operation to remove the hook from the needle bed may be performed before the knitting yarn extending from the hook is an obstacle to continue knitting. You may go after. Details will be described in an embodiment described later.

  As one form of the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is preferable to use an elastic yarn for joining the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric. Only the elastic yarn may be used for the joining, or an elastic yarn and a normal knitting yarn may be used together.

As one form of the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first bind off and the second bind off may be used as the back. In that case, in the process of repetition, after forming the first bind off or the second bind off, before forming the next bind off, by moving the yarn feeder, the knitting yarn extending from the former bind to the yarn feeder is formed. It is preferable to form the next bind-off after intersecting the front side of the bind-off (back) formed earlier. Specifically, the following steps may be performed in the repeated process.
[Step A] After the yarn feeder has been released to the second knitted fabric side, the needle bed opposite the needle bed to which the first knitted fabric is locked, and the boundary side end portion of the first knitted fabric. Overlapping two stitches.
[Step B] Move the yarn feeder that has escaped to the second knitted fabric side toward the first knitted fabric side to a position beyond the double stitch formed in Step A, and again feed the yarn feeder into the second knitted fabric. A first bind-off is formed following the overlap while moving toward the side of the.
[Step C] Two stitches at the boundary-side end portion of the second knitted fabric in the needle bed facing the needle bed to which the second knitted fabric is locked, with the yarn feeder arranged on the second knitted fabric side Are superimposed.
[Step D] While the yarn feeder is moved toward the first knitted fabric, a second bind-off is formed following the double stitch formed in Step C.

  The back stitch is formed by transferring the old stitch locked to one needle bed (for example, the front needle bed) to the other needle bed (rear needle bed) and knit the old stitch. Is done. When the formed new stitch is viewed from the front needle bed side, it becomes a back stitch drawn from the old stitch from the front needle bed side toward the rear needle bed side. In the present example, “the front side of the back stitch” in the present specification is the front needle bed side of the newly formed stitch (back stitch).

As one form of the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first bind off and the second bind off may be used as the face. In that case, in the process of repetition, after forming the first bind off or the second bind off and before forming the next bind off, by moving the yarn feeder, the knitting yarn extending from the previously formed bind to the yarn feeder is obtained. It is preferable to form the next bind-off after intersecting the back side of the bind-off (front) formed earlier. Specifically, the following steps may be performed in the repeated process.
[Step A ′] After the yarn feeder is released to the second knitted fabric side, the two stitches at the boundary side end of the first knitted fabric are overlapped with the needle bed to which the first knitted fabric is locked. Match.
[Step B '] Move the yarn feeder that has escaped to the second knitted fabric side toward the first knitted fabric side to a position that exceeds the double stitch formed in Step A', and then move the yarn feeder again to the second knitted fabric side. A first bind-off is formed following the double stitch while moving toward the knitted fabric.
[Step C ′] After the yarn feeder is moved toward the first knitted fabric and the yarn feeder is released to the first knitted fabric, the needle bed to which the second knitted fabric is locked is Two stitches at the end on the boundary side in the two knitted fabrics are overlapped.
[Step D ′] While moving the yarn feeder toward the first knitted fabric to a position exceeding the double stitch formed in Step C ′ and moving the yarn feeder again toward the second knitted fabric Forms a second prone line following the double stitch.

  Here, the meanings of “front surface” and “back side of front surface” may be reversed from the above-described “back side” and “front side of back surface”.

  The knitted fabric of the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, at least one of the front and back needle beds being rackable to the left and right, and capable of transferring stitches between the front and back needle beds. A first knitted fabric portion and a second knitted fabric portion made of independently knitted fabrics, and a bind off processing unit that joins both knitted fabric portions by a bind off process. Prepare. The bind off processing portion of the knitted fabric of the present invention comprises first bind off and second bind off which are formed alternately and continuously with the same knitting yarn. The first bind off is overlaid on the stitch at the end of the first knitted fabric in the wale direction, and the second bind off is overlaid on the stitch at the end of the second knitted fabric in the wale direction. And in this invention knitted fabric, the wale direction edge part of the 1st knitted fabric part and the 2nd knitted fabric part was joined in the state which faced | matched with the cross yarn which connects a 1st bind-off and a 2nd bind-off.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the crossover yarns that are alternately formed at the wale direction end of the first knitted fabric and the wale direction end of the second knitted fabric, The knitted fabric of the present invention joined to the second knitted fabric can be knitted. When the knitted fabric of the present invention having such a configuration is pulled in the wale direction of the knitted fabric, the first bind-off formed on the first knitted fabric and the second bind-off formed on the second knitted fabric are deformed, The knitting yarn is fed out toward the crossover yarn, and the bind off processing portion which is a joint portion between the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric is extended. Therefore, the bind off processing part in the knitted fabric of the present invention exhibits stretchability superior to the conventional bind off processing part. Furthermore, in the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the length of the connecting yarn connecting between the bind-off stitches is provided by providing a hook between the formation of one bind-off and the formation of the other bind-off and then removing the hook from the needle bed. Earn. By gaining the yarn length of the connecting yarn, the first bind-off and the second bind-off can be formed in such a size that when the both bind-offs are deformed, a knitting yarn having a sufficient length can be fed out toward the transfer yarn.

  Here, if elastic yarn is used for joining the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric, even if the yarn length is increased between the first bind off and the second bind off, the elastic yarn stretches in the bind off processing portion. Can be prevented. In addition, the stretchability of the bind-off processing portion can be improved by the stretchability of the elastic yarn itself.

  Moreover, in the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the bind-off processing portion made of the bind-off is formed by crossing the knitting yarn connecting the bind-off with the first bind-off and the second bind-off on the front side of the bind-off. It can be difficult to see from the front side. When this bind off processing part is viewed from the front side of the knitted fabric, it looks like it is knitted without any joints, so it looks very good. In particular, by performing the above steps A to D, the crossover yarn connecting the bind offs can be made to look like a stitch on the front side of the knitted fabric.

  Moreover, in the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first bind-off and the second bind-off are used as the front and the knitting yarns connecting the bind-offs are crossed on the back side of the bind-off so that the bind-off is aligned with the front side of the knitted fabric. It is possible to form the bind-off processing portion. This bind off processing part can be used as a design of knitted fabric. In particular, by performing the above steps A ′ to D ′, it is possible to improve the appearance of the bind off processing portion disposed on the front side of the knitted fabric.

  Hereinafter, as an example of the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), the body 2 and the heel part 20 are independently knitted, the opening around the neck of the body 2 and the drawing. A procedure for joining the opening of the flange 20 on the upper side by the bind off process will be described. All of the knitting described in these embodiments use a two-bed flat knitting machine that has a pair of front and rear needle beds that extend in the left-right direction and that face each other in the front-rear direction, and the rear needle bed can be racked left and right. An example of the organization that has been performed will be described. Of course, the flat knitting machine to be used may be a four-bed flat knitting machine.

  In FIG. 1, the stitches A to F of the front knitted fabric portion of the body 2 and the stitches α to ζ of the front knitted fabric portion of the heel portion 20 are locked to the front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FB). The state in which the stitches G to L of the rear knitted fabric portion and the stitches η to μ of the rear knitted fabric portion of the heel portion 20 are locked to the rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BB) is shown. The body 2 and the buttocks 20 are knitted with normal knitting yarn fed from different yarn feeders. From this state, the front knitted fabric portions of the body 2 and the buttock 20 are joined together by an elastic yarn fed from a yarn feeder different from the yarn feeder used in the body 2 and the buttock 20, and the yarn feeder is The body 2 and the rear knitted fabric portion of the heel portion 20 are joined to each other by elastic yarns fed from different yarn feeders. The order of joining follows the order of the numbers shown in the circles. Note that “P + number” and “Q + number” in FIG. 1 indicate stitches newly formed following the overlap.

  The joining procedure of the body 2 and the heel part 20 will be specifically described. First, the stitch A of the body 2 and the stitch α of the heel part 20 are overlapped, and a stitch P0 is newly formed following the overlap. Next, the stitch G of the body 2 and the stitch η of the heel part 20 are overlapped, and a stitch Q0 is newly formed following the overlap. Thereafter, the stitch P1 is formed in the double stitch composed of the stitch β and the stitch γ, the stitch Q1 is formed in the double stitch composed of the stitch H and the stitch I, and the stitch P2 is composed of the stitch P0 and the stitch B. The body 2 and the buttocks 20 are joined according to the circled numbers.

  As described with reference to FIG. 1, the joining process of the knitted fabrics in the FB and the joining process of the knitted fabrics in the BB are alternately performed, but are independent joining processes performed using an independent yarn feeder. Yes, both joining steps are exactly the same joining steps. Therefore, in the following first and second embodiments, a joining process for joining two knitted fabrics locked to the FB as a representative will be described.

[First embodiment]
In the first embodiment, from the front side knitted fabric (hereinafter referred to as the first knitted fabric 100) of the heel portion 20 composed of the stitches α to ζ locked adjacent to each other in the knitting width direction of the FB, and the stitches A to F. An example of joining the front knitted fabric of the body 2 (hereinafter referred to as the second knitted fabric 200) with a bind-off made of a back stitch will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, “S + number” indicates the number of the knitting process, the arrow indicates the moving direction of the yarn feeder and the direction of transfer, and “K” indicates that knit is performed in accordance with the movement of the yarn feeder. In the figure, ○ is the stitch that is locked to the needle bed, V is the stitch, ● is the stitch that is knitted in each knitting process, ◎ is the double stitch, ▼ is the yarn feeder, and x is the stitch Is removed from the needle bed. In addition, the sign for the overlapped line in the figure is expressed as “A / α”. In this case, the double stitches are shown so that the stitch A is on the BB side and the stitch α is on the FB side. For convenience of explanation, the knitted fabric is a tengu.

  S1 in FIG. 2 shows a state in which the stitches α to ζ of the first knitted fabric 100 and the stitches A to F of the second knitted fabric 200 are locked to the FB. The position of the boundary between the knitted fabrics 100 and 200 in S1 is indicated by a thick line in the subsequent process drawings including S1.

  From the state of S1, the joining of the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 is started by S2 and S3. The knitting of the joining start portion of S2 and S3 is a slightly different process from the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention shown in S4 and thereafter.

  First, in S2, the stitch A of the second knitted fabric 200 is transferred to the BB, and then the stitches α to ζ of the first knitted fabric are transferred to the BB. 100 stitches α are overlapped. In S3, a new stitch P0 following the double stitch A / α formed in S2 is formed while the yarn feeder is moved to the left side of the sheet (S3). The stitch P0 is a back stitch because it is knitted with BB.

  Subsequently, the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 are joined from the boundary side of the two knitted fabrics 100 and 200 by the joining method of the knitted fabric after S4 according to the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention. Since the stitches of the two knitted fabrics 100 and 200 are disengaged from the needle bed on the boundary side, the BB is racked as appropriate so that the distance between the boundary side ends of the knitted fabrics 100 and 200 is not too great.

  In S4, BB is racked in the left direction on the paper surface, and the stitch P0 formed in S3 is transferred to the next to the stitch B of the FB, and at the boundary side end portion between the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200. Of the stitches β and γ of the first knitted fabrics 100 arranged side by side, the stitch β and the stitch γ are overlapped on the BB so that the stitch β on the boundary side becomes the first bind-off. At this time, since the yarn feeder is retracted to the second knitted fabric 200 side, the knitting yarn extending from the yarn feeder is not sandwiched between the stitch β and the stitch γ. This S4 corresponds to the present invention step A.

  In S5, the yarn feeder is moved toward the position of the first knitted fabric 100 in the right direction of the paper to a position exceeding the double stitch β / γ. Subsequent to S5, in S6, a new stitch P1 following the double stitch β / γ is formed while the yarn feeder is moved toward the second knitted fabric 200 in the left direction of the drawing. Since this stitch P1 is formed of BB, it becomes the back stitch. In S6, the stitch R is formed on the BB empty needle on the second knitted fabric 200 side by two stitches from the stitch P1. The position where the hook R is formed may be anywhere as long as it is one to six stitches away from the stitch P1, as indicated by the dotted V-shape in the figure. S5 and S6 correspond to the process B of the present invention.

  In the subsequent S7, P1 is transferred to the FB, and in S8, the boundary side between the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 in the second knitted fabric 200 with the yarn feeder remaining on the second knitted fabric 200 side. The stitch P0 and the stitch B are overlapped on the BB so that the stitch P0 on the boundary side of the stitches P0 and B arranged at the ends becomes the second bind-off. At this time, BB is racked to the left in the drawing, and the stitch P0 is transferred to the BB, and then the stitch B is superimposed on the stitch P0. In S9, a new stitch P2 is formed following the double stitch P0 / B formed in S8 while the yarn feeder is moved toward the first knitted fabric 100 in the right direction on the paper. In S10, the stitch formed in S6 is formed. Remove R from BB. S7 and S8 correspond to the present invention process C, and S9 corresponds to the present invention process D.

  Here, by forming the stitch R at S6 and removing the stitch R from the needle bed at S10, the yarn length of the knitting yarn connecting the stitch P1 and the stitch P2 can be earned. As will be described later, the length of the knitting yarn connecting the first bind off and the second bind off can be changed depending on the position where the hook R is formed in S6. Since the hook R is in a position that does not interfere with the process described later, it is not always necessary to remove the hook R from the needle bed in S10, and after the joining of the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 is completed, You can remove it. The reason why the hook R is removed from the needle bed in S10 of this embodiment is only to reliably prevent accidental knitting of the knitting yarn in the joining process.

  Thereafter, the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 can be joined by performing the joining process shown in S11 to S17 following the joining procedure shown in S4 to S10. Hereinafter, the knitting of S11 to S17 will be briefly described.

  In S11, the stitch P2 formed in S9 is returned to the side of the stitch C of the FB, and the stitch P1 formed in S6 is defined as a new first bind-off, and the stitch P1 and the stitch δ are overlapped on the BB. In S12, the yarn feeder is moved to the first knitted fabric 100 side to a position exceeding the double stitch P1 / δ. In S13, while the yarn feeder is moved to the second knitted fabric 200 side, a new stitch P3 following the double stitch P1 / δ is formed, and three stitches from the stitch P3 to the second knitted fabric 200 side are formed. A hook R is formed on an empty needle of the BB separated from the needle.

  In S14, the stitch P3 formed in S13 is transferred to the FB, and in S15, the stitch P2 formed in S9 is defined as a new second bind-off while the yarn feeder is left on the second knitted fabric 200 side. Then, the stitch P2 and the stitch C are overlapped on the BB. Then, a new stitch P4 following the double stitch P2 / C is formed in S16, and the stitch R is removed from the needle bed in S17.

  After S17, the stitch P3 formed on the double stitch P1 / δ in S13 is used as the next first bind-off, and the stitch P4 formed on the double stitch P2 / C in S16 is used as the second second bind-off. 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 may be joined. A loop diagram of the resulting knitted fabric is shown in FIG.

  As can be seen from the loop diagram shown in FIG. 5, in the knitted fabric of the first embodiment, the bind off processing having bind off binds P <b> 1 to P <b> 4 that are alternately formed at the wale direction ends of the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200. The first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 are joined by the portion 5. Since the first bind-off P1, P3 and the second bind-off P2, P4 in the bind-off processing unit 5 are made of a series of knitting yarns, the first bind-off P1, P3 and the second bind-off P2, P4 are connected by a crossover yarn. . As described above, the first bind off P1, P3 and the second bind off P2, P4 are directly connected by the connecting yarn, so that the bindability of the bind off processing unit 5 is ensured. The stretchability changes according to the yarn length of the crossover yarn. In the joining process of this embodiment with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the yarn length is earned between the first bind off P1 (P3) and the second bind off P2 (P4) indicated by the black arrows in FIG.

  Moreover, since the bind off P1-P4 of this embodiment is arrange | positioned on the back side (back side of the paper surface) of the knitted fabrics 2 and 20 as a back stitch, the bind off marks P1-P4 cannot be seen when viewed from the front side of the knitted fabric, The appearance of the bind off processing unit 5 is good. Furthermore, the crossover yarn that connects the bind offs in the present embodiment is arranged on the front side of the bind offs P1 to P4 when the knitted fabrics 2 and 20 are viewed from the front side. Therefore, the crossover yarn looks like a stitch, so that the bind off processing unit 5 looks good.

[Modified Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, after forming the first bind off P1, the yarn length of the transition yarn is earned by the hook R while the second bind off P2 is formed. On the other hand, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. 5, after forming the second bind off P <b> 2 and forming the next first bind off P <b> 3, the yarn length of the transition yarn may be earned by the hook R. In this case, for example, a hook is formed on the empty needle of the FB while the yarn feeder is moved to the right in FIG. 3 (S12 in FIG. 4), and S7 and S8 in FIG. 3 (S14 and S15 in FIG. 4). Remove the hook from the needle bed. In addition, when the yarn feeder is moved to the left side of the sheet in S6 (S13 in FIG. 4) instead of S5 in FIG. 3 (S12 in FIG. 4), a hook R is formed on the empty needle of the FB before knitting of the stitch P1. May be. In that case, the hook R is twisted, but since the hook R is removed from the needle bed in a later step, there is no problem even if the hook R is twisted.

[Second Embodiment]
2nd embodiment demonstrates the joining method of the knitted fabric which connects a 1st knitted fabric and a 2nd knitted fabric with the bind off which consists of a front surface based on FIG. In the first embodiment, the stitches of the first knitted fabric and the stitches of the second knitted fabric are overlapped to start joining the two knitted fabrics. In the second embodiment, the joining method of the knitted fabric of the present invention is used. The two stitches at the boundary side end of the first knitted fabric are overlapped and the second stitch at the boundary side end of the second knitted fabric is overlapped to start joining the two knitted fabrics. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the description will be given assuming that the stitches A to F on the left side of the paper are the first knitted fabric 100 and the stitches α to ζ on the right side of the paper are the second knitted fabric 200.

  T1 shows a state in which the stitches A to F at the end in the wale direction of the first knitted fabric 100 and the stitches α to ζ at the end in the wale direction of the second knitted fabric 200 are locked to the FB. . From this state, the stitches α to ζ are transferred to the opposing BB at T2. At T3, after the yarn feeder has been released to the second knitted fabric 200 side, the stitch A of the first knitted fabric 100 is transferred to the opposing BB.

  At T4, the BB is racked in the left direction on the paper surface, the stitch A transferred to the BB at T3 is overlapped with the stitch B of the FB, and the yarn feeder is moved to the first knitted fabric 100 side in the left direction on the paper surface. During this time, a hook R is formed on the empty needle of BB. Then, at T5, while moving the yarn feeder toward the second knitted fabric 200 in the right direction on the paper, a stitch P1 following the double stitch B / A formed at T4 is newly formed, and the yarn feeder is used as the first stitch. Invert to the ground 100 side. Here, the first half of T3 and T4 corresponds to the present invention step A ', and the latter half of T4 and the first half of T5 correspond to the present invention step B'.

  At T6 in FIG. 7, the stitch α of the second knitted fabric 200 is returned to FB. At T7, the BB is racked in the left direction on the paper, and the stitch β is superimposed on the stitch α, and then the yarn feeder is moved to the right on the paper. To the second knitted fabric 200 side. At T8, while moving the yarn feeder toward the first knitted fabric 100 in the left direction of the paper, a new stitch P2 following the double stitch β / α formed at T7 is formed, and the yarn feeder is moved to the second stitch. Invert to the ground 200 side. When reversing the yarn feeder, the hook R is removed from the needle bed. Here, the latter half of T5 and the first half of T6 and T7 correspond to the present invention process C ', and the latter half of T7 and the first half of T8 correspond to the present invention process D'.

  Next, at T9, the stitches C, P1, P2 of the FB are transferred to the opposing BB, the BB is racked in the left direction on the paper surface at T10, the stitches P1, P2 are returned to the FB, and the stitch C is stitched at the stitch P1. To overlay. Further, at T11, while moving the yarn feeder to the first knitted fabric 100 side in the left direction of the drawing, a hook R is formed on the empty needle of BB.

  Finally, at T12, while moving the yarn feeder toward the second knitted fabric 200 in the right direction of the paper, a new stitch P3 following the double stitch C / P1 is formed, and then the yarn feeder is reversed, Leave to the first knitted fabric 100 side. Looking at the arrangement state of the stitches and yarn feeders at T12, the state is similar to the state in which the stitches at the boundary between the two knitted fabrics 100, 200 are reduced one by one from the state at T6. Therefore, after that, it is only necessary to join the first knitted fabric 100 and the second knitted fabric 200 in the same process as T7 to T12.

  According to the joining process of 2nd embodiment demonstrated above, the 1st knitted fabric 100 and the 2nd knitted fabric 200 are made by the bind off processing part which looked at the loop figure of 1st Embodiment with reference to FIG. 5 from the back side. Can be joined. Therefore, the knitted fabric of the second embodiment is also a knitted fabric in which both the knitted fabrics 100 and 200 are joined by the bind-off processing unit having excellent stretchability, like the knitted fabric of the first embodiment. Here, in the bind off processing unit in the second embodiment, the bind off is aligned on the front side of the knitted fabric, and therefore it is preferable to use the bind off as a design of the knitted fabric.

  In addition, this invention is not necessarily limited to embodiment mentioned above, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it can change suitably. For example, the bind-off processing portion 5 may be formed by aligning elastic yarn and normal knitting yarn. Moreover, the rib structure may be sufficient as the 1st knitted fabric and 2nd knitted fabric to join.
