In the process B, a first sub-stitch 21, which is pulled out in the opposite direction to the first main stitch 11, is formed continuously in a wale direction of the first base stitch 41 when forming the second course 2. In the process C, the first main stitch 11 and the first sub-stitch 21 are overlapped.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a knitted fabric having a plating-like knitted fabric portion and a knitting method thereof.

As a knitting using a flat knitting machine, a plating knitting in which a first knitting yarn and a second knitting yarn are knitted simultaneously with one knitting needle is known. By the plating knitting, the plating knitted fabric portion in which the second course made of the second knitting yarn is arranged is knitted on the back side of the first course made of the first knitting yarn. In this plating knitting, a dedicated yarn feeder having a first knitting yarn supply port and a second knitting yarn supply port is used. Alternatively, the first knitting yarn supplying the first knitting yarn and the second yarn feeder supplying the second knitting yarn can be simultaneously moved to perform the plating knitting. Here, the “front side” in this specification means the side that can be seen from the outside when the knitted fabric is used, and the “back side” means the side opposite to the “front side”. Further, the "first course" is a row of stitches knitted with the first knitting yarn and arranged in the knitting width direction, and the "second course" is a stitch row knitted with the second knitting yarn and arranged in the knitting width direction. It is a row.

There is also proposed a knitting method for knitting a plating-like knitted fabric portion having an appearance similar to that of the plated knitted fabric portion without using a dedicated yarn feeder. For example, in Patent Document 1, a plating-like knitted fabric portion is knitted by overlapping a first course and a second course knitted at different timings in the thickness direction. When the knitting method of this knitted fabric is omitted, after knitting the first course using the first knitting yarn for the existing course, it is connected to at least a part of the knitting of the first course using the second knitting yarn. The second course is knitted, and the stitches of the first course and the stitches of the second course are overlapped in the thickness direction. As a result, the plating-like knitted fabric portion in which the second course is arranged on the back side of the first course is knitted.

JP, 2014-34742, A

The plating-like knitted fabric portion is often applied to, for example, a collar or a hem of a rib structure in a knitwear having a plain cloth structure. This is because the elasticity of the collar and hem can be enhanced by using elastic yarn as the second knitting yarn in addition to the stretching due to the tissue structure. In that case, the plating-like knitted fabric portion is likely to shrink in the knitting width direction, so wrinkles are formed on the non-plating knitted fabric portion near the boundary between the plating-like knitted fabric portion and other non-plating knitted fabric portions Is easy to get close to.

In view of the above circumstances, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric that can adjust the shrinkage amount of the plating-like knitted fabric portion in the knitting width direction. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric in which wrinkles are unlikely to come near the boundary between the plating-like knitted fabric part and the other knitted fabric part.

The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention is
Using a flat knitting machine including a first yarn feeder for supplying the first knitting yarn and a second yarn feeder for supplying the second knitting yarn,
After knitting the first course using the first knitting yarn with respect to the existing course, knitting the second course connected to at least a part of the knitting of the first course using the second knitting yarn, A method for knitting a knitted fabric in which the first course and the second course are repeatedly overlapped in the thickness direction to knit a plating-like knitted fabric portion in which the second course is arranged on the back side of the first course. At
At least a part of the plating-like knitted fabric portion is formed by the first knitting,
The first formation is
A step A of splitting the first base stitches constituting the existing course and knitting a first main stitch pulled out from the first base stitches when knitting the first course;
During the knitting of the second course, a step B of knitting a first sub stitch continuously in the wale direction of the first base stitch and pulled out in a direction opposite to the first main stitch,
A step C of stacking the first main stitch and the first sub stitch,
Equipped with.

As one mode of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention,
Forming at least a part of the plating-like knitted fabric portion by the second knitting,
The second formation is
A step D of splitting the second base stitch of the existing course during the knitting of the first course and knitting a second main stitch drawn from the second base stitch,
During the knitting of the second course, a step E of knitting a second sub stitch continuously in the wale direction of the second base stitch and drawn in the same direction as the second main stitch,
A step F of stacking the second main stitch and the second sub stitch,
There can be mentioned a form including.

As one mode of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention,
Forming at least a part of the plating-like knitted fabric portion by a third knitting,
The third formation is
A step G of knitting a third main stitch continuously in the wale direction of the third base stitch of the existing course when knitting the first course,
A step H of tucking the third main stitch during knitting of the second course, or stacking a hook stitch formed on an empty needle on the third main stitch,
There can be mentioned a form including.

The knitted fabric of the present invention is
A first course composed of a first knitting yarn and a second course composed of a second knitting yarn different from the first knitting yarn are overlapped in the thickness direction, and In a knitted fabric having a plating-like knitted fabric part in which two knitting yarns are arranged on the back side,
At least a part of the plating-like knitted fabric portion is a first overlap stitch in which a first main stitch formed of the first knitting yarn and a first sub stitch formed of the second knitting yarn are overlapped. Equipped with
The first main stitch and the first sub-stitch are drawn from the same stitch, and the pull-out direction of the first main stitch and the pull-out direction of the first sub-stitch are opposite,
The knit loop of the same stitch is sandwiched between the sinker loop of the first main stitch and the sinker loop of the first substitch.

According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first double stitches included in the knitted fabric of the present invention can be formed. The first overlap stitch is composed of a first main stitch and a first sub stitch that are pulled out in the opposite directions from the same stitch (hereinafter, base stitch). The knit loop of the base stitch is sandwiched between the sinker loop of the first main stitch and the sinker loop of the first sub stitch, and its contraction is restrained. Therefore, the plating-like knitted fabric portion having the first overlapping stitch is less likely to shrink in the knitting width direction. The elasticity of the plating-like knitted fabric portion can be finely adjusted by changing the number of the first overlaps in the plating-like knitted fabric portion.

By performing the second knitting when knitting the plating-like knitted fabric portion, the second knitting yarn becomes difficult to be seen from the front side of the knitted fabric. This is because the second main stitch and the second sub stitch are pulled out in the same direction. The second overlap stitch obtained by overlapping the second main stitch and the second sub stitch obtained by the second knitting is exactly the same as the overlap stitch obtained by the plating knitting. In this second knitting, the second main stitch and the second sub stitch that are knitted at different timings are overlapped, so the second main stitch can be arranged on the front side of the knitted fabric more reliably than in the ordinary plating knitting ..

When knitting the plating-like knitted fabric portion, the knitting efficiency of the plating-like knitted fabric portion can be improved by interlacing the third knitting with the first knitting. The stitch formed by the third knit also has an appearance similar to the stitch formed by the first knit and the second knit.

The plating-like knitted fabric portion having the first overlap is difficult to shrink in the knitting width direction. Therefore, in the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is difficult for wrinkles to approach the boundary between the plating-like knitted fabric portion and the other knitted fabric portions. Therefore, the knitted fabric of the present invention looks good.

FIG. 1 is a knitting process drawing of the plating-style knitted fabric portion shown in the first embodiment. FIG. 2(A) is a loop diagram of the first overlay of the plating-like knitted fabric portion shown in Embodiment 1, and FIG. 2(B) is a loop diagram of the second overlay of the plating-like knitted fabric portion. Is. FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the sweater (knitted fabric) shown in the first embodiment.

<Embodiment 1>
In the first embodiment, an example of knitting a plating-like knitted fabric portion having a rib structure using a two-bed flat knitting machine will be described with reference to FIGS. The two-bed flat knitting machine includes a plurality of yarn feeders and a needle bed on one side and a needle bed on the other side that face each other in the front-rear direction. The other side needle bed can be racked relatively to the left and right with respect to the one side needle bed, and stitches can be transferred between the front and rear needle beds. The flat knitting machine used for knitting may be a 4-bed flat knitting machine.

In FIG. 1, “S+number” indicates a knitting process number, BB indicates a rear needle bed (one side needle bed) of the flat knitting machine, and FB indicates a front needle bed (the other side needle bed). Black dots in the figure indicate knitting needles, and uppercase letters indicate knitting needle positions. The circle marks indicate stitches, the V mark indicates stitches, the inverted triangle mark indicates yarn feeders, and the thick arrow indicates movement of stitches. The stitches newly knitted in each knitting process are shown in black.

S0 shows a state in which a knitting course (existing course 4) having a rib structure of 2×2 is locked to FB and BB. In this example, the BB side is the front side of the knitted fabric. Therefore, the stitches held by the knitting needles A, D, E, H of BB are the front stitches, and the stitches held by the knitting needles B, C, F, G of the FB are the back stitches. The front stitch is a stitch drawn from the old stitch from the FB side toward the BB side. The back stitch is a stitch drawn from the old stitch from the BB side toward the FB side.

From the state of S0, the plating-like knitted fabric portion is knitted by the knitting method of the present invention. In this example, the first knitting is performed on the front stitches of the knitting needles A and E of the BB (first base stitch 41), and the second knitting is performed on the front stitches of the knitting needles D and H of the BB (second base stitch 42). The third knitting is performed on the back stitches (third base stitch 43) of the knitting needles B, C, F, G of the FB.

In S1, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved rightward on the paper surface to knit the first course 1 composed of the first knitting yarn 8Y. The first knitting yarn 8Y is a main yarn that is arranged on the front side of the knitted fabric and determines the appearance of the knitted fabric. As a specific knitting of S1, at the positions of the knitting needles A and E, the first base stitch 41 is moved from BB to FB, and the split knitting for knitting the first main stitch 11 pulled out from the first base stitch 41 is performed. Perform (Process A of the first formation). In addition, at the positions of the knitting needles D and H, the second base stitch 42 is moved from BB to FB, and split knitting for knitting the second main stitch 12 pulled out from the second base stitch 42 is performed (step of the second knitting). D). At the positions of the knitting needles B, C, F, G, the third main stitch 13 is knitted continuously in the wale direction of the third base stitch 43 (step G of the third knitting).

In S2, the second yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right to knit a part of the second course 2 composed of the second knitting yarn 9Y. The second knitting yarn 9Y is a splicing yarn arranged on the back side of the knitted fabric. As the second knitting yarn 9Y, for example, an elastic yarn or the like can be used. In this S2, specifically, the first sub stitch 21 which is continuous in the wale direction of the first base stitch 41 (see S1) locked by the knitting needles A and E of the FB is knitted (step B of the first knitting). ). The first main stitch 11 is a front stitch knitted with FB, while the first sub stitch 21 of S2 is a back stitch knitted with BB. Therefore, the pull-out direction of the first sub stitch 21 pulled out from the first base stitch 41 is opposite to that of the first main stitch 11. Further, in this S2, the hook stitches 23 are formed on the knitting needles C and G of the empty needle BB (part of the step H of the third knitting).

In S3, the hook 23 of the knitting needle C of the BB is moved to the knitting needle B of the FB, and the hook 23 of the knitting needle G of the BB is moved to the knitting needle F of the FB (the rest of the step H of the third knitting). As a result, the third overlapping stitch 33 in which the third main stitch 13 and the hook stitch 23 are overlapped with each other is formed on the knitting needles B and F of the FB. Here, in S2, instead of forming the hook 23, the knitting needles B and F of the FB may be tucked to form the third overlap 33. In that case, S3 can be omitted.

In S4, the second base stitch 42 of the knitting needle D(H) of the FB is moved to the knitting needle C(G) of the BB. In S5, the second yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left to knit the remaining portion of the second course 2. Specifically, the second sub stitch 22 that is continuous in the wale direction of the second base stitch 42 that is held by the knitting needles G and C of the BB is knitted (step E of the second knitting). Like the second main stitch 12, the second sub stitch 22 is a front stitch knitted by BB. Therefore, the pull-out direction of the second sub stitch 22 pulled out from the second base stitch 42 is the same direction as the second main stitch 12. Further, in S5, the hook 23 is formed on the knitting needles F and B of the empty needle BB (part of the step H of the third knitting).

In S6, the hook 23 of the knitting needle F(B) of the BB is moved to the knitting needle G(C) of the FB (the rest of the step H of the third knitting). As a result, the third overlapping stitch 33 is formed on the knitting needles C and G of the FB. In S6, the second sub stitch 22 of the knitting needle G(C) of the BB is moved to the knitting needle H(D) of the FB.

In S7, the first sub stitch 21 of the knitting needle A(E) of the FB is moved to the knitting needle A(E) of the BB (step C of the first knitting). As a result, in the knitting needles A and E of BB, the first overlap stitch 31 in which the first sub stitch 21 is overlapped with the back side of the first main stitch 11 is formed. Further, in S7, the second sub stitch 22 of the knitting needle D(H) of the FB is moved to the knitting needle D(H) of the BB (step F of the second knitting). As a result, in the knitting needles D and H of the BB, the second overlap stitch 32 in which the second sub stitch 22 is overlapped with the back side of the second main stitch 12 is formed.

By S1 to S7 described above, the plating-style knitted fabric portion 3 in which the first course 1 and the second course 2 overlap in the thickness direction is formed for one course. After S7, the knitting row locked in S7 is set as the existing course 4, and the knitting of S1 to S7 is repeated. As a result, the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 in which the second course 2 is arranged on the back side of the first course 1 is obtained.

Next, the formation state of the stitches of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 knitted based on the knitting process diagram of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2(A) is a loop diagram of the first overlapping stitch 31 knitted by the first knitting, and FIG. 2(B) is a loop diagram of the second overlapping stitch 32 knitted by the second knitting. The loop diagram of FIG. 2 is a loop diagram when S1 to S7 are performed after S7 of FIG. In FIG. 2, the first knitting yarn 8Y is shown by a thick line and the second knitting yarn 9Y is shown by a thin line.

By performing S1 to S7 after S7 in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the first overlapping stitch 31B is formed in the wale direction of the first overlapping stitch 31A. The first overlapping stitches 31A and 31B have the same configuration as the first overlapping stitches 31 of FIG. That is, the first overlap stitches 31A and 31B are formed by overlapping the first main stitch 11 formed of the first knitting yarn 8Y and the first sub stitch 21 formed of the second knitting yarn 9Y. There is. The first main stitch 11 and the first sub stitch 21 of the first overlap stitch 31B are pulled out from the first overlap stitch 31A which is the same stitch. The pull-out direction of the first main stitch 11 and the pull-out direction of the first sub stitch 21 of the first overlap stitch 31B are opposite. Therefore, the knit loops 11N and 21N of the first overlap stitch 31A are sandwiched between the sinker loop 11S of the first main stitch 11 and the sinker loop 21S of the first sub stitch 21B of the first overlap stitch 31B. The movements of the knit loops 11N and 21N sandwiched between the sinker loop 11S and the sinker loop 21S are restricted. Therefore, the first overlap stitches 31B included in the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 can suppress shrinkage of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 in the knitting width direction. For example, even if the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 has a rib structure and the second knitting yarn 9Y is an elastic yarn, it is possible to prevent the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 from shrinking too much in the knitting width direction.

The proportion of the first overlap stitch 31B in the number of stitches in the knitting width direction of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 can be appropriately selected. The ratio is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 20% or more. Of course, the ratio may be 100%. In that case, the shape of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 is easily maintained, and the shape of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 is less likely to lose its shape. Further, it is preferable that the plurality of first overlapping stitches 31B are arranged in a distributed manner in the knitting width direction of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3. More preferably, the plurality of first overlapping stitches 31B are arranged at equal intervals in the knitting width direction of the plating-style knitted fabric portion 3.

By performing S1 to S7 after S7 in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2B, the second overlap eye 32B is formed in the wale direction of the second overlap eye 32A. The second overlapping stitches 32A and 32B have the same configuration as the second overlapping stitch 32 of FIG. That is, the second overlap stitches 32A and 32B are formed by overlapping the second main stitch 12 formed of the first knitting yarn 8Y and the second sub stitch 22 formed of the second knitting yarn 9Y. There is. The second main stitch 12 and the second sub stitch 22 of the second overlap stitch 32B are pulled out from the second overlap stitch 32A which is the same stitch. The pull-out direction of the second main stitch 12 and the pull-out direction of the second sub stitch 22 of the second overlap stitch 32B are the same. Therefore, the knit loops 12N and 22N of the second overlapping stitch 32A are not sandwiched between the sinker loop 12S of the second main stitch 12 of the second overlapping stitch 32B and the sinker loop 22S of the second auxiliary stitch 22 and their movements Is not bound. Instead, the second knitting yarn 9Y of the second overlapping stitch 32B becomes difficult to be exposed on the front side of the plating-style knitted fabric portion 3. Therefore, if the number of the second overlapping stitches 32 in the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 is increased, the appearance of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 can be improved.

Here, since the loop diagram of the third superposition stitch 33 (FIG. 1) obtained by the third knitting is almost the same as the loop diagram when performing general tacking, the loop of the third superposition stitch 33 is performed. Illustration is omitted. The appearance of the third overlap stitch 33 is similar to that of the first overlap stitch 31A of FIG. 2(A), but is higher than that of the other overlap stitches 31 and 32. Is easily exposed on the front side of the knitted fabric. However, in FIG. 1 of this example, since the third overlap stitch 33 is formed at the position of the back stitch of the rib structure, the third overlap stitch 33 cannot be seen from the front side of the knitted fabric. Therefore, the appearance of the plating-style knitted fabric portion 3 is not significantly impaired even if the third overlap stitch 33 is used. Since the third knitting forming the third overlap stitch 33 is an easy knitting, the knitting of the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 can be performed by positively adopting the third knitting at a position invisible from the front side of the knitted fabric. The efficiency can be increased.

Next, a sweater will be described as an example of a knitted fabric to which the plating-like knitted fabric portion of this example is applied. The sweater 100 of FIG. 3 has a body 5, left sleeves 6, and right sleeves 7. As places to which the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 is applied in this sweater 100, a hem 50 provided at the lower end of the body 5, a collar 51 provided at the upper end of the body, and cuffs 60, 70 provided at the ends of the sleeves 6, 7. Can be mentioned. The hem 50, the collar 51, and the cuffs 60 and 70 are required to have elasticity and strength when worn. Therefore, since the hem 50, the collar 51, and the cuffs 60 and 70 are made into the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3, their stretchability and strength can be ensured, so that the comfort and durability of the sweater 100 can be improved. Further, as described with reference to FIG. 2, since the plating-like knitted fabric portion 3 does not shrink too much, the vicinity of the boundary between the hem 50 and the collar 51 of the body 5, and the cuffs 60 of the sleeves 6 and 7, It is possible to suppress the occurrence of large wrinkles near the boundary with 70. As a result, the appearance of the sweater 100 can be improved.

Further, by using the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of yarn endings as compared with the case where the plating knitting using the dedicated yarn feeder is used. This is because the first knitting yarn and the second knitting yarn are fed by different yarn feeders and combined, so that the taking-in and taking-out of the knitting yarn can be minimized.

The knitted fabric knitting method of the present invention can also be used for knitting knitted fabrics other than sweaters. For example, the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention can be applied to knitting an opening of a knit bag or the like.
