Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted fabric capable of knitting a rib-like knitted fabric portion.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a knitted sweater hem, cuffs, and heels have been formed into rib knitted fabric portions composed of front and back stitches. The rib knitted fabric portion is thick and firm, and has elasticity. However, when the rib knitted fabric portion is knitted with the same knitting yarn as the body, if the knitting yarn is a thin knitting yarn, there is a possibility that the rib knitted fabric portion cannot have sufficient thickness and strength. As one of countermeasures, when the rib knitted fabric portion is knitted, the number of knitting yarns is increased. However, when a portion other than the rib knitted fabric portion is knitted with an appropriate count knitting yarn or a thicker knitting yarn, it is difficult to increase the number of knitting yarns when the rib knitted fabric portion is knitted.

  As means for solving the above problems, for example, a knitting method of a rib-like knitted fabric of Patent Document 1 has been proposed. In the knitting method of the rib-like knitted fabric of Patent Document 1, a new first knitted fabric portion is knitted by combining a knit and a split increase with respect to the first knitted fabric portion locked to the front needle bed, Knitting and knitting a new second knitted fabric portion in combination with the knit and the split increase are alternately performed on the second knitted fabric portion locked to the needle bed. By performing such knitting, the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are joined in the thickness direction, and an apparent knitted fabric such as a rib structure shown in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1 is knitted. .

JP 2014-227611 A

  There is a need for a knitting method of a knitted fabric in which a rib-like structure is knitted by a method different from that of Patent Document 1. This is because there is a knitted fabric having a design that is difficult to knit by the knitting method of the rib-like knitted fabric of Patent Document 1.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its purposes is to provide a novel knitting method of a knitted fabric capable of knitting a rib-like knitted fabric portion by a method different from the prior art. .

The knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention includes at least a front needle bed and a rear needle bed, and uses a flat knitting machine capable of transferring stitches between the front and back needle beds, and rib-like knitting on a part of the knitted fabric. A knitting method of a knitted fabric for knitting a ground portion, and the following steps A to D are repeated.
[Step A]... First stitch row in which a plurality of units composed of n stitches are arranged at intervals of m stitches, and the first stitch row is locked to one of the front and back needle beds. And a new first stitch row following the wale direction of the first stitch row is knitted. However, n and m are arbitrary positive natural numbers.
[Step B]... The second stitch row is moved to the empty needle on the other needle bed.
[Step C] ... A new second stitch row is knitted following the wale direction of the second stitch row that is locked to the other needle bed.
[Step D]... The new second stitch row is moved to the empty needle of the one needle bed, and the new first stitch row and the new second stitch row are formed into an nxm rib structure. Line up.
By repeating the steps A to D, the rib-like knitted fabric portion constituted by the new first stitch row and the new second stitch row is knitted.

The natural numbers n and m are preferably about 1 to 3. The arrangement of the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion is, for example, the arrangement shown in the following [1] when n = 1 and m = 1, and the following [2] when n = 2 and m = 1. If the arrangement shown is n = 2 and m = 2, the arrangement shown in [3] below is obtained. In the following [1] to [3], the ◯ mark indicates the stitch of the first stitch row, and the X mark indicates the stitch of the second stitch row. Of course, the combination of n and m is not limited to the above example.
[1] A typical arrangement is XXXXX. Here, since the stitches of the first stitch row do not need to be at the end in the knitting width direction, for example, an arrangement such as XXXXXXXX or XXXXXXX. The same applies to the following combinations in that the stitches of the first stitch row do not need to be at the end in the knitting width direction.
[2] A typical arrangement is XXXXX. In addition, it is good also as arrangement | positioning * XX * XX *.
[3] A typical arrangement is XXXXXX. In addition, it is good also as arrangement | positioning as XXXXXXXX.

  Here, in the knitting method of the knitted fabric, when the step A is performed after the step D, the new first stitch row and the new second stitch row locked to one needle bed in the step D are combined. Process A is performed with the stitch row as the target stitch row.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a form of knitting a rib-like knitted fabric portion that is locked in a cylindrical shape to the front needle bed and the rear needle bed as the rib-like knitted fabric portion may be mentioned. it can. When knitting the tubular rib-like knitted fabric portion, the process A is performed in which the front needle bed is regarded as the one needle bed, and the rear needle bed is regarded as the one needle bed. After performing the step A, the steps B to D in which the front needle bed is regarded as the one needle bed are performed, and the steps B to D in which the rear needle bed is regarded as the one needle bed are performed. Repeat what you do.

  As a specific example of the knitting, the process A on the front needle bed side → the process A on the rear needle bed side → the processes B to D on the front needle bed side → the processes B to D on the rear needle bed side are repeated. . Of course, the process A on the rear needle bed side, the process A on the front needle bed side, the processes B to D on the rear needle bed side, the processes B to D on the front needle bed side may be repeated.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, there is a form of performing plating knitting using elastic yarn as an additive yarn when knitting the new first stitch row and the new second stitch row. it can.

  Here, the plating knitting is a knitting method in which main yarn and splicing yarn are fed to a knitting needle of a flat knitting machine for knitting (for example, International Publication No. 2008/139710, Japanese Patent No. 3899269). See).

As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a form in which the following steps W to Z are performed before knitting the rib-like knitted fabric part or after knitting the rib-like knitted fabric part can be exemplified. .
[Step W]... A terminal stitch row that is a stitch row locked to the one needle bed is moved to the other needle bed.
[Step X]... The third stitch row in which the terminal stitch row moved to the other needle bed has a plurality of p stitch units arranged at intervals of q stitches, and the third stitch row. And the first back stitch row following the wale direction of the third stitch row is knitted. However, p and q are arbitrary positive natural numbers.
[Step Y] ... Knit the second back stitch row following the wale direction of the fourth stitch row.
[Step Z]... The first back stitch row and the second back stitch row are moved to the one needle bed without changing the arrangement of both back stitch rows in the knitting width direction.
Here, after knitting the ground knitted fabric part that constitutes a part of the knitted fabric and then knitting the rib-like knitted fabric part continuously in the wale direction of the ground knitted fabric part, the end of the ground knitted fabric part in the wale direction The stitch row of the part becomes the terminal stitch row of the step W. Further, after knitting the rib-like knitted fabric portion, when knitting the ground knitted fabric portion continuously in the wale direction of the rib-like knitted fabric portion, the stitch row at the end of the rib-like knitted fabric portion in the wale direction is the above This is the end stitch row of the process W.

  The natural numbers p and q are preferably about 1 to 3. The method of dividing the third stitch row and the fourth stitch row may be performed based on the same concept as the way of dividing the first stitch row and the second stitch row. For example, when the stitches in the third stitch row are marked with ○ and the stitches in the fourth stitch row are marked with x, if p = 1 and q = 1, for example, an arrangement of ○ × ○ × ○ ×. .

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, as shown in S4 of FIG. 3 to be described later, a new first stitch row 11 composed of a front stitch knitted in the step A and a new stitch composed of the back stitch knitted in the step C. The second stitch row 21 overlaps in the thickness direction. Furthermore, the sinker loop 11Y of the new first stitch row 11 and the sinker loop 21Y of the new second stitch row 21 are intertwined, and the new first stitch row 11 and the new second stitch row 21 are joined. A rib-like knitted fabric portion that looks like a rib structure is formed by overlapping a new first stitch row 11 consisting of a front stitch and a new second stitch row 21 consisting of a back stitch in the thickness direction. The ground will be thick and firm. Here, “front stitch” refers to the stitch that is pulled out from the old stitch from the back when viewed from one needle bed side, and “back stitch” refers to the front when viewed from one needle bed side. It is a stitch drawn from the old stitch to the back.

  By alternately performing the steps A to D that regard the front needle bed as one needle bed and the steps A to D that regard the rear needle bed as one needle bed, The rib-like knitted fabric portion knitted into a shape can be knitted.

  By knitting the elastic yarn into the rib-like knitted fabric portion by plating knitting using an elastic yarn as the splicing yarn, the rib-like knitted fabric portion can be provided with strong elasticity. Further, by knitting elastic yarn into the rib structure portion, a thick and firm rib-like knitted fabric portion is obtained.

  When the rib-like knitted fabric portion is knitted continuously in the wale direction of the ground knitted fabric portion and the ground knitted fabric portion, by performing steps W to Z before and after the knitting of the rib-like knitted fabric portion, the ground knitted fabric portion The rib-like knitted fabric portion can be made conspicuous and the rib-like knitted fabric portion can be made conspicuous.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a sweater of Embodiment 1. FIG. It is a figure which shows the enlarged photograph of the part enclosed with the dotted line of FIG. FIG. 3 is a knitting process diagram according to the knitting of the collar of the sweater of the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a knitting process diagram according to the knitting of the neckline of the sweater of the first embodiment.

<Embodiment 1>
In the first embodiment, an example in which a set-in type sweater 100 is knitted using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described with reference to FIGS. The flat knitting machine to be used may be a two-bed flat knitting machine.

  A sweater 100 (tubular knitted fabric) shown in FIG. 1 has a body 50 and sleeves (left sleeve 61 and right sleeve 62). The body 50 is formed by connecting the front body 51 and the back body 52 in a cylindrical shape. A neckline 70 having a substantially U-shape on the front body 51 side is formed at the end portion of the body 50 in the wale direction, and a cylindrical collar 80 is provided on the neckline 70.

  In the sweater 100 of this example, the heel 80, the cuff 60, and the hem 90 are rib-like knitted fabric portions knitted by the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, which is an enlarged photograph of a portion surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. 1, the ridge 80 is knitted in a rib style in which front and back stitches are alternately arranged in the knitting width direction. Although not shown in the photograph, the cuff 60 and the hem 90 are also knitted in a rib style.

  A specific knitting procedure of the rib-like ridge (rib-like knitted fabric portion) 80 will be described based on the knitting process diagram of FIG. In FIG. 3, only the front knitting of the heel 80 will be described. In the figure, “S + number” indicates a knitting process number, FD indicates a lower front needle bed, FU indicates an upper front needle bed, BD indicates a lower rear needle bed, and BU indicates an upper rear needle bed. The BD and BU can be racked to the left and right with respect to the FD and FU, and the stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds. The portion related to the knitting operation in each knitting step is indicated by a thick line, and the stitch newly knitted in the step is indicated by being filled. The arrows shown in the figure indicate the movement direction of the stitches.

  S0 shows a state in which the stitches of the front body 51 are locked to the knitting needles A to P of the FD, and the stitches of the back body 52 are locked to the knitting needles A to P of the BD. These stitches are stitches forming the neckline 70 (FIG. 1). From this S0 state, a 1 × 1 rib-like ridge 80 (FIG. 1) is knitted using the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention.

  In S1, for the sake of convenience, the unit of n stitches has an interval of m stitches for the stitch row (target stitch row 10 of S0) constituting the front body 51 locked to the FD (one needle bed). A plurality of first stitch rows 1 arranged in a row and a second stitch row 2 composed of stitches other than the first stitch row 1 are divided (part of step A). In this example, the 1st stitch row 1 and the 2nd stitch row 2 are divided into 1 × 1 with n = 1 and m = 1. Then, the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, M of the FD are left as they are, with the second stitch row 2 locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, and P of the FD unchanged. , O, a new first stitch row 11 is knitted following the wale direction of the first stitch row 1 (remaining part of step A).

  Here, it can change suitably in the range of n = 1-3 and m = 1-3. For example, the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 of 1 × 2, 2 × 1, 2 × 2 may be separated. By doing so, 1 × 2, 2 × 1, 2 × 2,.

  In S2, the stitches of the second stitch row 2 locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P of the FD are changed to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, Move to L, N, P (process B). Here, as shown in S1, the sinker loop 11Y that connects adjacent stitches in the new first stitch row 11 crosses the back side of the stitches in the second stitch row 2 as viewed from the FD side. Therefore, by the movement of the second stitch row 2 in S2, the new sinker loop 11Y of the first stitch row 11 is pulled by the stitches of the second stitch row 2 and crosses between the FD and the BU.

  In S3, a new second stitch row 21 following the wale direction of the second stitch row 2 locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, and P of the BU is knitted (step C). . By this S3, the sinker loop 21Y connecting the adjacent stitches in the new second stitch row 21 intersects the sinker loop 11Y in the new first stitch row 11.

  In S4, the stitches of the new second stitch row 21 knitted in S3 are moved to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, and P of the FD (step D). At that time, the new first stitch row 11 and the new second stitch row 21 are arranged in an n × m rib structure. That is, the new first stitch row 11 and the new second stitch row 21 are arranged so as to be the same as the arrangement of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 in S1.

  When the front side of the heel 80 is further knitted after S4, when performing the k-th (k = 2 or more) S1, the stitch rows 11 and 21 locked to the FD in the k-1th S4 are set as the target stitch row. 10 and the k-th S1 is performed. Further, when the target stitch row 10 is divided into the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 in the k-th S1, the same way as the first S1 is performed. By doing so, when viewed from the outside of the heel 80, 1 × 1 ribs in which a new first stitch row 11 consisting of a front stitch and a new second stitch row 21 consisting of a back stitch are arranged alternately An organized fold 80 (FIGS. 1 and 2) can be knitted.

  Here, in the case where both the front side and the rear side of the heel 80 are rib-like knitted fabric portions, after performing the step A (S1) in which the FD is regarded as one needle bed, the BD is regarded as one needle bed. Step A is performed. And after performing process BD (S2-S4) which considers FD as one needle bed, process BD which considers BD as one needle bed is performed. Thereafter, Step A in which FD is regarded as one needle bed, Step A in which BD is regarded as one needle bed, Steps B to D in which FD is regarded as one needle bed, and BD as one needle bed Steps B to D are repeated.

  In the rib-like kite 80, as shown in S4, the new first stitch row 11 and the new second stitch row 21 are overlapped in the thickness direction, and the sinker loop 11Y and the sinker loop 21Y are entangled. Thus, both stitch rows 11 and 21 are joined and integrated. Therefore, the ridge 80 has a firm thickness. In addition, the sinker loops 11Y and 21Y make the stretchability of the heel 80 higher than that of the tengu tissue. Here, when the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are knitted, the stretchability of the heel 80 can be improved by performing plating knitting using an elastic yarn as an additive yarn. By changing the type of elastic yarn, the stretchability of the heel 80 can be changed. Since the elastic yarn is thinner than the normal knitting yarn used for knitting the sweater 100, the knitting yarn does not overflow from the hook of the knitting needle even when the plating knitting is performed.

  By performing the inlay knitting after S2 or S3 in FIG. 3, the collar 80 can be made even thicker. The inlay knitting is a knitting in which, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-277738, stitches are allocated to the front and back needle beds, and the inlay wire is sandwiched between the allocated stitches.

<Modification>
Prior to knitting the heel 80 shown in FIG. 1, the knitting of the neckline 70 is devised to make the heel 80 stand out as shown in the photograph of FIG. The knitting procedure will be described based on the knitting process diagram of FIG. 4 is the same as FIG.

  In T0 of FIG. 4, the end stitch row 3 which is the stitch row at the end of the wale direction of the front body 51 (ground knitted fabric portion) is locked to the FD, and the end stitch row of the back body 52 is locked to the BD. The state is shown. From this state, at T1, the terminal stitch row 3 locked to the FD is moved to BU (step W).

  At T2, the terminal stitch row 3 is divided into a third stitch row 33 in which a unit composed of p (= 1 to 3) stitches is arranged at intervals of q stitches (= 1 to 3). The first back stitch row 41 is divided into the fourth stitch row 34 composed of stitches other than the third stitch row 33, and the first back stitch row 41 following the wale direction of the third stitch row 33 is knitted (step X). The method of dividing the end stitch row 3 may be the same as or different from the method of dividing the target stitch row 10 (FIG. 3) when the rib-like knitted fabric portion (衿 80) is knitted. If the method of dividing the end stitch row 3 is the same as the way of dividing the target stitch row 10, the appearance of the boundary portion between the front body 51 and the heel 80 is improved. In this example, the wale direction of the third stitch row 33 composed of the stitches locked to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, M, and O of the BU, that is, every other stitch of the terminal stitch row 3. The first back stitch row 41 following is knitted.

  At T3, the stitches locked by the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, and P of the BU, that is, the stitches that have not been knitted at T2 (fourth stitch row 34) continue in the wale direction. The second back stitch row 42 is knitted (step Y). Then, at T4, the first back stitch row 41 and the second back stitch row 42 are moved to the FD without changing the arrangement of both back stitch rows 41, 42 in the knitting width direction (step Z).

  According to the knitting described above, the sinker loop connecting adjacent stitches in the first back stitch row 41 (second back stitch row 42) is exposed on the front side of the body 50 as shown in FIG. A counterbore 70 is formed. As a result, the neckline 70 is emphasized and the heel 80 can be made conspicuous.

  When the stitched neckline 70 is formed in the back body 52 in addition to the front body 51, after performing T1 and T2 in FIG. 4, all the stitches of the BU (the first back stitch row 41 and the fourth stitch row) are formed. 34 stitches) are moved to the FD. Next, the stitches of the back body 52 are moved from the BD to the FU (corresponding to T1), and a first back stitch row that is continuous in the wale direction of some stitches of the back body 52 is knitted (corresponding to the T2). Move all stitches to BD. Next, after the stitches of the FD related to the front body 51 (the stitches of the first back stitch row 41 and the fourth stitch row 34) are moved to the BU, the second back stitch in the wale direction of the fourth stitch row 34 T3 for knitting the stitch row 42 and T4 for moving all the stitches of the BU (the stitches of the back stitch rows 41 and 42) to the FD are performed. Finally, after moving the BD stitches related to the back body 52 to the FU, the second back stitch row is knitted to the back body 52 (equivalent to T3), and all the stitches of the FU are moved to the BD. (Equivalent to T4).

  Here, the knitting shown in FIG. 4 can also be performed after the rib-like knitted fabric portion is knitted. For example, when the body 50 (sleeves 61 and 62) is knitted after the hem 90 (cuffs 60) in FIG. 1 is formed into a rib-like knitted fabric portion according to the knitting process in FIG. And the knitting shown in FIG. 4 is performed. When the knitting shown in FIG. 4 is completed, the body 50 (sleeves 61, 62) may be knitted following the knitting direction of the back stitch rows 41, 42.

<Embodiment 2>
By applying the knitting method of the knitted fabric shown in the first embodiment, it is also possible to knitting a Milan rib-like structure or a waffle-like structure. When knitting a Milan rib-like structure, after S3 in FIG. 3, after performing the tubular knitting following the stitches locked to the FD and BU, S4 may be performed. Further, when knitting a waffle pattern-like structure, after S4 in FIG. 3, the stitch row following all the stitches locked to the FD is knitted for at least one stage, and then S1 is performed.

  In addition, the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the first embodiment can be applied to knitting a Kanoko pattern-like structure. For example, when dividing the target stitch row 10 into the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 in the k-th S1 on the FD side (BD side), it is the reverse of the k-1th S1 on the FD side (BD side). It is better to divide
