As for the course direction, the parts to be knitted on the front needle bed and the rear needle bed are indicated by solid lines and broken lines, respectively, and when the knitting area with the same reference marks is illustrated earlier, Illustration is omitted.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic knitting procedure in a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric 5 as an embodiment of the present invention in (a), and schematically shows a tubular knitted fabric 5 knitted in (b). The configuration is shown. The tubular knitted fabric 5 is formed by sequentially combining the preceding tubular knitting region 1, the one side C-shaped knitting region 2, the cylindrical knitting region 3, and the other side C-shaped knitting region 4 according to the wale directions 1W, 2W, 3W, 4W. It is organized in a state. Of the tubular knitted fabric 5, the tubular knitted region 3 has one side C on the stitch line of the first course on one side in the wale direction 3W and the stitch line on the last course on the other side in the wale direction. The character knitting region 2 and the other C-shaped knitting region 4 are joined to each other.

  The knitting procedure shown in FIG. 1 (a) is realized by using a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of needle beds facing each other with a tooth gap in between. The wale direction at the time of stitch formation in each knitting region is a direction from bottom to top. However, in the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the other-side C-shaped knitting region 4, the stitch rows in the knitted course directions 2C and 4C are moved in the horizontal direction in the drawing, respectively. , 4W appears to be inclined as shown in FIG.

  First, knitting is performed while forming a stitch row in the course direction 1C in which the preceding cylindrical knitting region 1 goes around. Such cylindrical knitting is performed by feeding yarns to the knitting needles of the front and back needle beds alternately, for example, so that the yarn is fed to the right at the front needle bed and to the left at the rear needle bed. . The next one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 is a section in which the stitch row of the first course is preset on the one end side of the preset knitting width and inward from the end of the knitting width on the front and back needle beds. The first continuous section 2a is formed. The first continuous section 2a is formed, for example, by continuously supplying a knitting yarn to a knitting needle that locks the stitch row of the last continuous section 1a provided on the left end side of the stitch row of the last course of the preceding cylindrical knitting region 1. To do. The stitch row in the last continuous section 1a and the stitch row in the first continuous section 2a are continuous in the wale directions 1W and 2W. The yarn feeding is performed until reaching one end portion of the first continuous section 2a within the knitting width of the front needle bed or the rear needle bed. When the formed stitch row is moved to the left which is the outside of the knitting width, the knitting needle at the inner end of the knitting width becomes a blank needle. In the next course, the yarn feeding direction is folded back, the stitches for stitching and split stitches are formed on the empty needle, a stitch row is formed following the previously formed stitch row, and the other end is formed. A stitch for joining is formed on the empty needle. Hereinafter, the stitch row of each course in the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 is knitted by repeating the shifting and forming the stitches for joining while turning back the yarn feeding direction. Openings 2b are formed in rows.

  Next, the section of the section including the knitting needle of the last continuous section 2c that locks the stitch line of the final course of the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the knitting needle that locks the stitch line for joining formed as the opening 2b. A knitting yarn is supplied to the knitting needle and formed in a course direction 3C that goes around the stitch row of the first course of the tubular knitting region 3. In the stitch row of the first course on one side in the wale direction in the tubular knitting region 3, the stitch row of the first continuous section 3a joined to the stitch row of the last continuous section 2c of the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2; The stitch row of the first joining section 3b is included. In the first joining section 3b, the joining stitch row formed as the opening 2b of the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the stitch row left as the final joining section 1b of the preceding tubular knitting region 1 are in the wale direction. Joining is performed by forming a stitch row that is continuous to 3W. Thereafter, the tubular knitting region 3 is knitted by repeating the formation in the course direction 3C in which the stitch row formed in the first course is fed to the knitting needles for locking the stitch row formed in the first course and goes around the stitch row in the next course.

  Next, the stitch of the first continuous section 4a is set as the first course of the other side C-shaped knitting region 4 on the right end side which is the other end side of the knitting width of the other side end course which is the final course of the cylindrical knitting region 3. Form a row. The first continuous section 4a is set in advance from the right end of the knitting width to the inside of the knitting width at the front and back needle beds, and the knitting needle in this section is the last continuous stitch in the stitch row of the final course of the tubular knitting region 3. The stitch row in the section 3c is locked. In the next course, the formed stitch row is moved to the left which is the inside of the knitting width, and the stitch on the left end side which is the stitch at the inner end of the knitting width is used as the stitch of the final course of the tubular knitting region 3 Overlay the stitches on the right end side of the stitch row in the final joint section 3d. Hereinafter, as a stitch row of each course of the other side C-shaped knitting region 4, a stitch row folded back in the yarn feeding direction in a different course and including the stitches on the left end side overlapped and brought to the left which is one end side of the knitting width The formation of a new stitch row is repeated. When knitting up to the final course, as the other side C-shaped knitting region 4, the stitch row of the final course remains in the final opening section 4c, and the stitch row of the opening 4b in the middle is the final joining section 3d of the tubular knitting region 3 It will be in the state joined to the stitch row.

  FIG. 1 (b) shows the preceding cylindrical knitting region 1 as an ankle, one side C-shaped knitting region 2 as an instep, the other C-shaped knitting region 4 as a sole and a heel, and a cylindrical knitting region 3 as a foot. A cylindrical knitted fabric 5 in a state of forming socks is shown as a part interposed between the upper part and the sole part. As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 serving as the instep part is the same from the first continuous section 2a to the last continuous section 2c while moving the position of the knitting needles that lock the stitch rows to the left side. The knitting width is knitted. On the other hand, the other side C-shaped knitting area 4 serving as the sole is knitting the final opening section 4c while increasing the knitting width of the first continuous section 4a, which is the stitch row of the first course, in the course of the course. It can be adapted to the swollen shape as the buttock. The final opening section 4c is closed by bind-off processing to form a portion that covers the toe that is the tip of the foot. You may make it perform the process which closes opening in the post process after knitting. If a part of the final opening section 4c is left open, a portion covering the toes can be opened.

  Note that the knitting direction may be the reverse direction from the top to the bottom of the figure. However, in the other side C-shaped knitting region 4, the formation of the stitch row in the course direction and the formation of the stitches for joining using the empty needles provided by moving the stitch rows outward of the knitting width are performed. Next, the tubular knitting region 3 is knitted, and in the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2, the formation of the stitch row in the course direction and the alignment of the stitch row toward the inside of the knitting width causes the inner side of the stitch row to be knitted. The stitches at the end are joined to the stitches at the course at the end of the cylindrical knitting region 3. The preceding cylindrical knitting area 1 is knitted last, and in the first course, the stitch row corresponding to the final continuous section 1a and the final joining section 1b is arranged with the first continuous section 2a of the one-side C-shaped knitting area 2 and the cylindrical knitting. The stitch rows corresponding to the first joining section 3b of the region 3 are joined to each other.

  Further, in this embodiment, the preceding cylindrical knitting area 1 covering the ankle is knitted, and then the one side C-shaped knitting area 2 is knitted. The character knitting area 2 may be knitted. The tubular knitting region 3 and the other C-shaped knitting region 4 are knitted continuously to the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2, and overshoes, tabi, and the like can be formed as a combined tubular knitted fabric. Further, although the stitch direction in each knitting area indicates only the wale direction, it is not always uniform in each knitting area, and varies depending on the connection state between the knitting areas. Furthermore, the cylindrical knitting region 3 and the preceding cylindrical knitting region 1 are formed by the circular knitting in which the stitch row in the course direction circulates, but are formed by the folded knitting in which the stitch row is connected once by the tack. You can also.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic knitting procedure in the knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric 10 as another embodiment of the present invention in (a), and schematically shows the tubular knitted fabric 10 knitted in (b). The structure is shown. The tubular knitted fabric 10 includes a preceding tubular knitting region 11, an inclined C-shaped knitting region 12, an adjustment tubular knitting region 13, one side C-shaped knitting region 2, a tubular knitting region 3, and the other side C-shaped knitting region 4. Are combined in accordance with the knitting procedure. The preceding cylindrical knitting region 11 is divided into a rib knitting portion 11a by rib knitting and a flat knitting portion 11b by flat knitting, but the course direction 11C and the wale direction 11W are common. Subsequent to the flat knitting portion 11b, an inclined C-shaped knitting region 12 is added which is knitted with a C-shaped knitting to reduce the knitting width and in which the stitch row of the opening 12a is inclined. Ends that alternately turn the course direction 12C in the inclined C-shaped knitting region 12 are opened, and a tuck stitch for joining is formed in the opening 12a so as to eliminate the step of the stitch. The inclined C-shaped knitting region 12 is knitted to smoothly bend and connect the instep portion formed by the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 so as not to cause wrinkles. If the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 is directly connected to the inclined C-shaped knitting region 12, it is difficult to move when the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 is knitted. If the adjustment cylindrical knitting area 13 is added to the inclined C-shaped knitting area 12, it is not necessary to move the tack formed in the opening 12a of the inclined C-shaped knitting area 12, and the knitting of the one-side C-shaped knitting area 2 is performed. At times, it is possible to perform stable shifting.

  The tubular knitted fabric 10 is a sock like the tubular knitted fabric 5 of FIG. 1, and the instep part and the sole part covering the toes are arranged on one side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the other side C-shaped knitting region 4. And the cylindrical knitting region 3 can be interposed in the middle. Since this sock adds the inclined C-shaped knitting area | region 12 to the preceding cylindrical knitting area | region 11, the cylindrical knitted fabric of the preceding cylindrical knitting area | region 11 used as the ankle side, and the cylindrical knitting area | region 3 are made into one side C. The toe-side tubular knitted fabric formed by being sandwiched between the character knitting region 2 and the other C-shaped knitting region 4 can be connected in a state where it can be easily bent without causing wrinkles. In this embodiment, the inclined cylindrical knitting area 12 is knitted after the preceding cylindrical knitting area 11 covering the ankle is knitted, but the reverse direction is the same as the cylindrical knitted fabric 5 of FIG. Can also be organized. In the knitting in the opposite direction, the other side C-shaped knitting region 4, the cylindrical knitting region 3, the one side C-shaped knitting region 2, and the inclined C-shaped knitting region 12 are sequentially performed.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the tubular knitted fabric 10 knitted as socks. The heel as a sock includes a lower part of the inclined C-shaped knitting area 12 added to the preceding cylindrical knitting area 11, a rear part of the adjusting cylindrical knitting area 13, a rear part of the cylindrical knitting area 3, and a C-shaped knitting area 4 on the other side. It is formed by combining the rear parts.

  The wale direction 3W of the tubular knitting region 3 includes a joining portion between the first joining section 3b and the opening portion 2b of the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2, and an opening portion 4b of the last joining section 3d and the other-side C-shaped knitting region 4. The wale directions 2W and 4W are substantially orthogonal to each other. At the boundary between these joint portions, the stitch row in the wale direction of the tubular knitting region 3 and the stitch row in the course direction of the one side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the other side C-shaped knitting region 4 are continuous. In this way, in order for the stitches to be orthogonal and the stitches in the course direction and the wale direction to be continuous, the amount of movement of the one-side C-shaped knitting region 2 or the other-side C-shaped knitting region 4 is set to a course that forms a stitch row. What is necessary is to carry out for one stitch every time. If the relationship between the formation of the stitch row and the amount of movement to be moved is changed, the correspondence relationship between the stitch row in the course direction and the stitch row in the wale direction can be changed, and the stitch row in the course direction can also be inclined. In addition, in the joining portion of the first continuous section 3a and the last continuous section 3c of the tubular knitting region 3 and the last continuous section 2c of the one side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the first continuous section 4a of the other side C-shaped knitting region 4, The wale direction 3W and the wale directions 2W and 4W are continuous.

  When the tubular knitting region 3 is knitted with a stripe pattern or the like extending in the course direction, horizontal stripes that are difficult to knitting can be easily formed when the entire foot is made into one cylindrical knitting region. In the tubular knitting region 3, a stripe pattern is formed by changing the knitting yarn in course units. When the entire toe is made into one cylindrical knitting region, the course direction is the vertical direction, and in order to form a horizontal stripe, the knitting yarn used for knitting is changed in the middle of the course in the same manner as the intarsia pattern etc. There is a need. Further, since the knitting area is divided, for example, a decorative pattern is formed on the one side C-shaped knitting area 2 which becomes the instep part, the heat retention is improved, or the other side C-shaped knitting which becomes the sole part. The region 4 can be knitted using knitting yarn in consideration of cushioning properties, hygroscopicity, and deodorization properties, and can have a new pattern, shape, function, etc., and can increase the added value as a sock.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic knitting procedure in a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric as still another embodiment of the present invention. (A) shows the state which replaces with the adjustment cylindrical knitting area | region 13 of FIG. 2, and knits the adjustment cylindrical knitting area | region 14. FIG. In the adjustment tubular knitting region 14, the knitting width is increased to increase the knitted fabric of the heel part. (B) shows the state which adds the collar part C-shaped knitting area | region 15 which expands a collar part further downward to the adjustment cylindrical knitting area | region 14. FIG. The shape of the buttock can be adjusted by increasing the knitting width in the adjustment tubular knitting region 14 or adding the buttock C-shaped knitting region 15.
In each of the above embodiments, the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention is applied to socks, but the tubular knitted fabric changes the wale direction between the one side C-shaped knitting region 2 and the other side C-shaped knitting region 4. Therefore, knitting yarns of different materials such as elastic yarns can be used in some knitting regions. For example, when the present invention is applied to a tubular knitted fabric covering a human joint, such as a supporter, a knitting yarn having different stretchability for each knitting region, or a knitting yarn having different hygroscopicity, strength, color and the like is used. Thus, a tubular knitted fabric having a novel pattern, shape and function can be obtained.
