[Overview of knitted fabric]
As shown in FIG. 1, the knitted fabric 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a pre-knitted fabric 10 and a post-knitted fabric 20. The first knitted fabric 10 is overlapped with the second knitted fabric 20, and they are integrated to form one knitted fabric 1.

A plurality of mesh holes 11 are formed in the pre-knitted fabric 10. As a result, the knitted fabric 1 has a mesh-like pattern composed of a plurality of mesh holes 11. The arrangement of the mesh holes 11 is not particularly limited, and may be a triangular grid shape or a rectangular grid shape. If a plurality of mesh holes 11 are arranged in the course direction and the wale direction, the pattern has a planar spread. If a plurality of mesh holes 11 are arranged along one of the course direction and the wale direction, a linear pattern is obtained. A plurality of mesh holes 11 may be arranged in a straight line diagonal to the course direction and the wale direction. The number of mesh holes 11 is usually plural, but may be one.

In the sequel knitted fabric 20, no holes are formed at least in the portion overlapping the mesh holes 11, and stitches are formed. As a result, the mesh hole 11 of the first knitted fabric 10 is closed by the stitches of the second knitted fabric 20. That is, the mesh hole 11 is not a hole that penetrates the knitted fabric 1. Since it is difficult for wind to enter through the mesh hole 11, the knitted fabric 1 can maintain the heat retaining function while having a mesh-like pattern.

The material, color, and the like of the knitting yarns constituting the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are not particularly limited. The first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 may be knitted with knitting yarns of the same color, or may be knitted with knitting yarns of different colors. If the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are knitted with knitting yarns of different colors, the surroundings and the inside of the mesh hole 11 have different colors, and the mesh-like pattern appears to be emphasized.

Each of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 may be knitted with a plurality of types of knitting yarns. By changing the type of knitting yarn to be fed for each predetermined number of stages, different types of knitting yarn can be arranged in the wale direction.

FIG. 2 is a photograph of the knitted fabric actually knitted. The first knitted fabric is knitted with light gray knitting yarn, and a plurality of mesh holes are formed. The second knitted fabric is knitted with dark gray knitting yarn and can be confirmed through the mesh holes.

In addition, "front" and "rear" in each name of "first knitted fabric" and "second knitted fabric" are added for convenience in order to distinguish two overlapping knitted fabrics 10 and 20, and knitted fabric 1 It has nothing to do with the front and back. The knitted fabric on which the mesh hole 11 is formed is the pre-knitted fabric 10, and the knitted fabric overlapped with the pre-knitted fabric 10 is the sequel knitted fabric 20. However, in a part of the knitted fabric 1, a mesh hole 11 is formed in one of the two knitted fabrics α and β that are overlapped, and in the other region, a mesh hole 11 is formed in the other knitted fabric β. It may be formed. That is, a mesh-like pattern may be added to both sides of the knitted fabric 1. In this case, in a part of the knitted fabric 1 and another region, even if the knitted fabric α is the same, the names of the pre-knitted fabric 10 and the latter knitted fabric 20 are interchanged.

A knitted product can be formed from the knitted fabric 1. The knitted product is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a muffler, a neck warmer, a snood, a knit hat, a hood, and knit gloves.

Hereinafter, some variations of the knitted fabric 1, particularly the mesh hole 11, will be described in detail.

[First Embodiment]
(Knitted fabric)
Next, the knitted fabric 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
The organizational charts of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 of the present embodiment are shown in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B), respectively. For convenience of explanation, the knitting yarns constituting the first knitted fabric 10 are shown without hatching, and the knitting yarns constituting the second knitted fabric 20 are shown with hatching. In the figure, C1 to C3 indicate the first to third courses, and W1 to W7 indicate the first to seventh wales. The first to third courses C1 to C3 of the first knitted fabric 10 overlap with the first to third courses C1 to C3 of the second knitted fabric 20, respectively. Further, the first to seventh wales W1 to W7 of the first knitted fabric 10 overlap with the first to seventh wales W1 to W7 of the second knitted fabric 20, respectively.

The first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are basically organized in a flat knit. The first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are overlapped so that the surfaces on which the back stitches appear are in contact with each other. FIG. 3A shows a surface on which the front surface of the pre-knitted fabric 10 appears, that is, a surface on the outside of the knitted fabric 1. FIG. 3B shows a surface on which the back stitch of the second knitted fabric 20 appears, that is, a surface hidden inside the knitted fabric 1.

In the following, one direction (right direction in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B)) along the course of knitted fabric 1 (first knitted fabric 10 and second knitted fabric 20) is a positive direction (+), and the other direction (FIG. 3 (A)). ), (Left direction in (B)) is a negative direction (-). The positive direction (+) and the negative direction (-) are added for convenience to distinguish the directions, and "positive" and "negative" have no particular meaning.

In the illustrated example, the mesh hole 11 is formed in the second course C2 of the pre-knitted fabric 10. Among the stitch rows constituting the first knitted fabric 10, the stitch row constituting one course (second course C2) in which the mesh hole 11 is formed is referred to as "first stitch row 12". The stitch row (the stitch row of the second course C2) that constitutes one course of the second knitted fabric 20 and overlaps with the first stitch row 12 is referred to as the “second knitting row 22”.

Further, among the sections in which the first stitch row 12 and the second stitch row 22 are organized, the section corresponding to one selected stitch (the stitch of the second wale W2) is referred to as the "first hole section H1". The section corresponding to one stitch (the stitch of the third wale W3) connected in the positive direction (+) of the first hole section H1 is referred to as "the first stitch section K1".

Further, among the sections in which the first stitch row 12 and the second stitch row 22 are organized, the section corresponding to one selected stitch (the stitch of the sixth wale W6) is referred to as a "second hole section H2". The second hole section H2 is a section that is different (does not overlap) from the first hole section H1 and the first volume section K1. The section corresponding to one stitch (stitch of the fifth wale W5) connected in the negative direction (-) of the second hole section H2 is referred to as "second stitch section K2". The second section K2 is a section that is different (does not overlap) from the first hole section H1. In the illustrated example, the first section K1 and the second section K2 are different sections, but the second section K2 may overlap with the first section K1.

The stitches of the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the second wale W2) are stitches in the positive direction (+) in the stitches of the first stitch section K1 of the second stitch row 22 (the stitches of the third wale W3). It has been transferred. As a result, the mesh hole 11 is formed in the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12. Further, the first section K1 (third wale W3) of the second stitch row 22 is a overlapped stitch in which the stitches of the first stitch row 12 and the stitches of the second stitch row 22 overlap. As a result, the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are joined.

The stitches of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the sixth wale W6) are stitches in the negative direction (-) in the stitches of the second stitch section K2 of the second stitch row 22 (the stitches of the fifth wale W5). It has been transferred. As a result, the mesh hole 11 is formed in the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12. Further, the second section K2 (fifth wale W5) of the second stitch row 22 is a overlapped stitch in which the stitches of the first stitch row 12 and the stitches of the second stitch row 22 overlap. As a result, the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are joined.

A stitch is formed in the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 of the second stitch row 22. Therefore, the mesh holes 11 formed in the first stitch row 12 are closed by the stitches in the second stitch row. In this way, since the mesh hole 11 of the first knitted fabric 10 is closed by the stitches of the second knitted fabric 20, the knitted fabric 1 can maintain the heat retaining function while having a mesh-like pattern.

As described above, the mesh hole 11 is formed by shifting the stitches of the first stitch row 12. Here, the amount of transfer may be 1 wales or more than 2 wales. However, if the amount of transfer is too large, an excessive force may be applied to the knitting yarn and the yarn may be cut off. Although it depends on the type of knitting yarn, it is considered unlikely that the knitting yarn will break if the stitches are transferred up to 3 wales. When the amount of transfer is 2 wales or more, sections corresponding to a plurality of consecutive stitches may be set as the first section section K1 and the second section section K2. The stitches of the first hole section H1 may be transferred to any of the plurality of stitches included in the first stitch section K1. Similarly, the stitches of the second hole section H2 may be transferred to any of the plurality of stitches included in the second section section K2.

In the illustrated example, the mesh hole 11 in the first hole section H1, that is, the mesh hole 11 formed by the transfer in the positive direction (+) is one, but this may be a plurality. Similarly, there may be a plurality of mesh holes 11 in the second hole section H2, that is, mesh holes 11 formed by shifting in the negative direction (−). When forming a plurality of mesh holes 11 on one course, the stitches between the adjacent mesh holes 11 may be 1 wales or more than 2 wales.

A plurality of mesh holes 11 may be formed in the wale direction. When forming a plurality of mesh holes 11 in one wales, the stitches between the adjacent mesh holes 11 may be one course or more than two courses.

It is not necessary to form the mesh hole 11 formed by the transfer in the negative direction (-). That is, it is not necessary to provide the second hole section H2 and the second section section K2. In this case, a plurality of mesh holes 11 are formed only by shifting in the positive direction (+).

However, as shown in the illustrated example, it is preferable to provide the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2, and to transfer both the positive direction (+) and the negative direction (-). Then, the stitches of the first hole section H1 and the stitches of the second hole section H2 are transferred in the opposite directions, so that the plurality of mesh holes 11 look well-balanced as a whole. From the viewpoint of balance, it is preferable to arrange the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 with regularity, such as providing them alternately.

The first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 are basically knitted in a flat knit, but may be knitted in another knitting method as long as the formation of the mesh hole 11 is not affected. For example, in a region different from the region where the mesh-like pattern is attached, the pre-knitted fabric 10 and the sequel knitted fabric 20 may be knitted by a knitting method other than the flat knitting.

(Organization method)
Next, a method of knitting the knitted fabric 1 of the present embodiment will be described.
The knitted fabric 1 can be knitted by a flat knitting machine. The flat knitting machine has two needle beds arranged facing each other. At least one of the two needle beds can be racked to the left or right. Hereinafter, one needle bed will be referred to as "front needle bed FB", and the other needle bed will be referred to as "rear needle bed BB". "Front" and "rear" in the names of "front needle bed" and "rear needle bed" are added for convenience to distinguish between the two needle beds, and are not related to the front and back of the flat knitting machine. As will be described later, the front knitted fabric 10 is knitted on the front needle bed FB, and the sequel knitted fabric 20 is knitted on the rear needle bed BB. When a mesh-like pattern is applied to both sides of the knitted fabric 1, the names of the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB are switched during the knitting.

FIG. 4 is a knitting process diagram of the present embodiment. The left column in the figure shows the number of the knitting process, and the right column shows the state of the needle bed in each knitting process. The black dots in the right column indicate the knitting needles of the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB. A to G indicate the position of the knitting needle of the front needle bed FB, and a to g indicate the position of the knitting needle of the rear needle bed BB. In addition, ○ indicates a stitch that has already been formed, ● indicates a newly formed stitch, and ◎ indicates a stitch. The arrow from the front needle bed FB to the rear needle bed BB indicates the direction of transfer.

The knitted fabric 1 is knitted by performing the 0th to 3rd steps S0 to S3 shown in FIG. 4 in this order. Throughout the entire knitting process, basically, the front knitted fabric 10 is knitted by the front needle bed FB, and the second knitted fabric 20 is knitted by the rear needle bed BB. That is, so-called bag knitting is performed in which two knitted fabrics are overlapped and knitted. By feeding yarns of different colors to the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB, the front knitted fabric 10 and the rear knitted fabric 20 can be knitted with different colored yarns.

In the 0th step 0th step S0, the stitches are locked to the knitting needles A to G of the front needle bed FB. This stitch sequence is the stitch sequence of the first course C1 of the first knitted fabric 10 (FIG. 3 (A)). Similarly, the stitches are locked to the stitches a to g of the rear needle bed BB. This stitch sequence is the stitch sequence of the first course C1 of the second knitted fabric 20 (FIG. 3 (B)).

-First step In the first step S1, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB and knitted with the knitting needles A to G. As a result, the first part row 12 constituting one course (second course C2) of the first part 10 is organized. Similarly, the yarn is fed to the rear needle bed BB and knitted with the knitting needles a to g. As a result, the sequel row 22 constituting one course (second course C2) of the sequel 20 is organized.

-Second step In the illustrated example, the section corresponding to the knitting needles B and b is the first hole section H1, and the section corresponding to the knitting needles C and c is the first knitting section K1. Further, the section corresponding to the knitting needles F and f is the second hole section H2, and the section corresponding to the knitting needles E and e is the second knitting section K2.

In the second step S2, the stitch of the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitch locked to the stitch needle B) is transferred to the stitch (knitting needle c) of the first stitch section K1 of the second stitch row 22. , A layer is formed on the knitting needle c. Further, the stitch of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitch locked to the knitting needle F) is transferred to the stitch (knitting needle e) of the second stitch section K2 of the second stitch row 22 to be used as the knitting needle e. Form a layer.

More specifically, first, the rear needle bed BB is racked by one pitch in the negative direction (left direction in FIG. 4) so that the knitting needle B and the knitting needle c face each other. In this state, the stitches locked to the knitting needle B are transferred to the knitting needle c. Next, the rear needle bed BB is racked by two pitches in the positive direction (right direction in FIG. 4) so that the knitting needle F and the knitting needle e face each other. In this state, the stitches locked to the knitting needle F are transferred to the knitting needle e. Finally, the rear needle bed BB is racked one pitch in the negative direction to restore the relationship between the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB to the original state. The stitch transfer from the knitting needle B to the knitting needle c and the stitch transfer from the knitting needle F to the knitting needle e may be performed in the reverse order.

By the first and second steps, the second course of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is organized. The portion of the first stitch row 12 that has been transferred to the rear needle bed BB (the portion of the knitting needles B and F) becomes the mesh hole 11.

-Third step In the third step S3, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB and knitted with the knitting needles A to G. As a result, the stitch rows constituting the next course (third course C3) of the first knitted fabric 10 are organized. Similarly, the yarn is fed to the rear needle bed BB and knitted with the knitting needles a to g. As a result, the stitch rows constituting the next course (third course C3) of the second knitted fabric 20 are organized.

By knitting the stitch row of the next course on the first knitted fabric 10, the mesh hole 11 is closed in the wale direction. Further, the stitches locked to the knitting needles c and e in the second step are put together by the stitches of the next course formed in the third step.

As described above, the amount of stitch transfer in the first stitch row 12 and the number of first and second hole sections H1 and H2 are not particularly limited. The position of the knitting needle to be transferred may be set arbitrarily. In order to form the plurality of mesh holes 11 in the wale direction, the 0th to 3rd steps S0 to S3 may be repeated.

It is not necessary to provide the second hole section H2. However, it is preferable to provide both the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2, and to transfer both the positive direction (+) and the negative direction (-). When the knitting machine repeatedly transfers in the same direction, the knitted fabric may be pulled in the direction of the transfer and a force may be applied to the opposite edge. By shifting the stitches of the first hole section H1 and the stitches of the second hole section H2 in opposite directions, the knitted fabric is not pulled in one direction during knitting by the knitting machine, and knitting defects can be suppressed.

The knitting yarn of the pre-knitted fabric 10 and the knitting yarn of the second knitted fabric 20 may be knitted at the edge of the knitted fabric 1. Then, the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 become more integrated.

[Second Embodiment]
(Knitted fabric)
Next, the knitted fabric 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.
The size of the mesh hole 11 is not limited to one stitch, and may be a plurality of stitches. The organizational charts of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 of the present embodiment are shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), respectively.

In the present embodiment, the first hole section H1 is a section corresponding to a plurality of continuous stitches (stitches of the second and third wale W2 and W3). The first section K1 is connected in the positive direction (+) of the first hole section H1 and is a section corresponding to a plurality of continuous stitches (the stitches of the fourth and fifth wale W4 and W5).

Further, the second hole section H2 is a section corresponding to a plurality of continuous stitches (seventh, eighth wale W7, W8 stitches). The second section K2 is connected in the negative direction (-) of the second hole section H2, and is a section corresponding to a plurality of continuous stitches (stitches of the fifth and sixth wale W5 and W6). It should be noted that the first volume section K1 and the second volume section K2 overlap in the fifth wale W5.

The stitches of the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the second and third wale W2 and W3) are the stitches of the first section K1 of the second stitch row 22 (the fourth and fifth wale W4, respectively). It has been transferred to the W5 stitch). As a result, mesh holes 11 for two stitches are formed in the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12. Further, the stitches of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the seventh and eighth wales W7 and W8) are the stitches of the second section K2 of the second stitch row 22 (the fifth and sixth wales), respectively. It has been transferred to the stitches of W5 and W6). As a result, mesh holes 11 for two stitches are formed in the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12.

The stitches of the first and second sections K1 and K2 of the second stitch row 22 are overlapping stitches of the stitches of the first stitch row 12 and the stitches of the second stitch row 22. Here, the fifth wale W5 in which the first section K1 and the second section K2 overlap is a triple layer in which the two stitches of the first section 12 and the one stitch of the second section 22 overlap. It has become.

As described above, the horizontally long mesh hole 11 can be formed by transferring a plurality of consecutive stitches. The number of stitches to be transferred is not particularly limited. However, if the amount of transfer is too large, an excessive force may be applied to the knitting yarn and the yarn may be cut off. If the amount of stitch transfer is up to 3 wales, mesh holes 11 up to 3 stitches can be formed.

(Organization method)
Next, a method of knitting the knitted fabric 1 of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 is a knitting process diagram of the present embodiment. Since the 0th and 1st steps S0 and S1 are the same as those of the 1st embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

-Second step In the illustrated example, the section corresponding to the knitting needles B to C and b to c is the first hole section H1, and the section corresponding to the knitting needles D to E and d to e is the first knitting section K1. Further, the section corresponding to the knitting needles G to H and g to h is the second hole section H2, and the section corresponding to the knitting needles E to F and e to f is the second knitting section K2.

In the second step, a plurality of stitches (stitches locked to the knitting needles B and C) in the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 are each stitched in the first stitch section K1 of the second stitch row 22 (knitting needle d). , E), and a stitch is formed on the knitting needles d and e. Further, the plurality of stitches (stitches locked to the knitting needles G and H) of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 are transferred to the stitches (knitting needles e and f) of the second stitch section K2 of the second stitch row 22. Then, a stitch is formed on the knitting needles e and f.

By the first and second steps, the second course of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is organized. The portion of the first stitch row 12 that has been transferred to the rear needle bed BB (the portion of the knitting needles B to C and GH) becomes the mesh hole 11.

-Third step In the third step S3, two courses of the pre-knitted fabric 10 are knitted by supplying yarn to the front needle bed FB twice. As a result, the mesh holes 11 for two stitches are closed in the wale direction. In addition, the second needle bed BB is also fed twice to knit two courses of the second knitted fabric 20. This detail will be described in the fourth embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 are each for two stitches, but may be three stitches or more. Considering the force applied to the knitting yarn by stitch transfer, if the amount of stitch transfer is up to 3 wales, the 1st and 2nd hole sections H1 and H2 are each 3 stitches, and up to 3 stitches. The horizontally long mesh hole 11 can be formed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first hole section H1 and the first section K1 are set to the same number of stitches (two stitches), but the first hole section H1 may be wider than the first section K1. , May be narrowed. For example, the first hole section H1 may be used for two stitches, and the first section section K1 may be set for one stitch. In this case, the two stitches of the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 are transferred to the one stitch of the first stitch section K1 of the second stitch row 22. Therefore, a triple overlap is formed in the first section K1 of the second section row 22. The same applies to the relationship between the second hole section H2 and the second section section K2.

(Knitted fabric)
Next, the knitted fabric 1 according to the third embodiment will be described.
The organizational charts of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 of the present embodiment are shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B), respectively. In the present embodiment, the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 are connected to each other. As a result, a horizontally long mesh hole 11 in which the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 are connected is formed. The first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 are connected with the first hole section H1 on the positive direction side and the second hole section H2 on the negative direction side.

Specifically, the first to second wale W1 to W2, the third wale W3, the fourth wale W4, and the fifth wale W5 are divided into the second section K2, the second hole section H2, and the first hole section H1, respectively. , Volume 1 section K1. The stitches of the first hole section H1 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the fourth wales W4) are transferred to the stitches of the first section K1 of the second stitch row 22 (the stitches of the fifth wales W5). The stitches of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the third wale W3) are transferred to the stitches of the second section K2 of the second stitch row 22 (the stitches of the first wale W1). As a result, mesh holes 11 for two stitches are formed in the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 of the first stitch row 12.

Further, the 5th to 6th wale W5 to W6, the 7th wale W7, the 8th wale W8, and the 9th wale W9 are divided into the second volume section K2, the second hole section H2, the first hole section H1, and the first, respectively. The section is K1. The stitches of the second hole section H2 of the first stitch row 12 (the stitches of the seventh wale W7) are transferred to the stitches of the second section K2 of the second stitch row 22 (the stitches of the fifth wale W5). Therefore, the fifth wale W5 of the second stitch row 22 is a triple layer in which the two stitches of the first stitch row 12 and the one stitch of the second stitch row 22 are overlapped.

The mesh hole 11 of the present embodiment is formed by shifting the stitches so as to open the stitches to the left and right. Therefore, the mesh hole 11 has a well-balanced shape.

(Organization method)
Next, a method of knitting the knitted fabric 1 of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 8 is a knitting process diagram of the present embodiment. Since the same is true for the second embodiment except for the second step S2, the description thereof will be omitted.

2. Second step In the second step, the stitches locked to the knitting needles D and H of the front needle bed FB are transferred to the knitting needles e and i of the rear needle bed BB, respectively. Further, the stitches locked to the knitting needles C and G of the front needle bed FB are transferred to the knitting needles a and e of the rear needle bed BB, respectively. As a result, mesh holes 11 for two stitches are formed in the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 of the first stitch row 12.

The lengths of the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 may be set to a plurality of stitches. Considering the force applied to the knitting yarn by stitch transfer, if the amount of stitch transfer is up to 3 wales, each of the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 is set to 3 stitches, and 6 stitches are used. The mesh holes 11 up to can be formed. Further, it is not necessary that the first hole section H1 and the second hole section H2 have the same length. For example, the first hole section H1 may be one stitch and the second hole section H2 may be two stitches.

[Fourth Embodiment]
(Knitted fabric)
Next, the knitted fabric 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described.
The knitted fabric 1 of the second and third embodiments has horizontally long mesh holes 11 for two or more stitches. In order to close such a horizontally long mesh hole 11 reasonably in the wale direction, it is necessary to devise the organization of the next and subsequent courses of the course in which the mesh hole 11 is formed.

The organizational charts of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 of the present embodiment are shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, respectively. In this embodiment, each of the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 in the third embodiment is divided into two stitches. The second course C2 of the first knitted fabric 10 is formed with horizontally long mesh holes 11 for four stitches (third to sixth wales W3 to W6).

The mesh hole 11 of the pre-knitted fabric 10 is closed in the wale direction by the knitting of four courses (third to sixth courses C3 to C6) following the second course C2 in which the mesh hole 11 is formed.

(Organization method)
Next, a method of knitting the knitted fabric 1 of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 10 shows a knitting process diagram in the case of a so-called double knit in which yarn is supplied to both the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB with one traversal of the carriage. Since the 0th and 1st steps S0 and S1 are the same as those of the 1st embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

2. In the second step S2, the stitches locked to the knitting needles E and F of the front needle bed FB are transferred to the knitting needles g and h of the rear needle bed BB, respectively. Further, the stitches locked to the knitting needles C and D of the front needle bed FB are transferred to the knitting needles a and b of the rear needle bed BB, respectively. As a result, mesh holes 11 for four stitches are formed in the sections corresponding to the knitting needles C to F of the first stitch row 12. The second course of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is organized by the second step.

As a result of the transfer, the knitting needles C to F of the front needle bed FB are empty needles that do not hold the knitting yarn. Hereinafter, the section in which one or a plurality of continuous empty needles are located is referred to as "empty needle section EN". Immediately after the completion of the second step, the empty needle section EN is a section in which the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 are connected when they are connected. When the first and second hole sections H1 and H2 are not connected, the empty needle section EN is the same section as the first hole section H1 or the second hole section H2.

Third Step The third step S3 of the present embodiment has four small steps (1) to (4). One course of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is organized in each small process.

(1) The carriage is traversed in the positive direction to supply yarn to both the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB. Threads are supplied to the front needle bed FB in the order of knitting needles A → H. The empty needle section EN is the knitting needles C to F. After knitting with the knitting needles A and B outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle C in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needles D to F. Then, knit with the knitting needles G and H outside the empty needle section EN. Since the stitch of the knitting needle B has already been formed, it is easy to increase the number of stitches on the knitting needle C next to the stitch. By this knitting, the empty needle section EN is reduced by one stitch.

In addition, knit with each knitting needle a to h of the rear needle bed BB. The third course C3 of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is formed by the small step (1).

(2) The carriage is traversed in the negative direction to supply yarn to both the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB. Threads are supplied to the front needle bed FB in the order of knitting needles H → A. The empty needle section EN is reduced by one stitch in the small step (1), and becomes knitting needles D to F. After knitting with the knitting needles H and G outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle F in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needles E and D. Then, the knitting needles C to A outside the empty needle section EN are knitted. By this knitting, the empty needle section EN is further reduced by one stitch.

In addition, knit with each knitting needle h to a of the rear needle bed BB. The fourth course C4 of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is formed by the small step (2).

(3) The carriage is traversed in the forward direction to supply yarn to both the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB. Threads are supplied to the front needle bed FB in the order of knitting needles A → H. The empty needle section EN is the knitting needles D to E. After knitting with the knitting needles A to C outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle D in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needle E. Then, knit with the knitting needles F to H outside the empty needle section EN. By this knitting, the empty needle section EN is further reduced by one stitch.

In addition, knit with each knitting needle a to h of the rear needle bed BB. By the small step (3), the fifth course C5 of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is formed.

(4) The carriage is traversed in the negative direction to supply yarn to both the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB. Due to the knitting up to the small step (3), the empty needle section EN is one stitch (knitting needle E). In the final small step (4), knitting is performed with the knitting needles HA to A of the front needle bed FB. As a result, the empty needle section EN disappears.

In addition, knit with each knitting needle h to a of the rear needle bed BB. The sixth course C6 of the first knitted fabric 10 and the second knitted fabric 20 is formed by the small step (4). Further, the mesh hole 11 is closed in the wale direction.

In the case of a so-called single knit in which yarn is fed to one of the front needle bed FB and the rear needle bed BB in one traversal of the carriage, the knitting may be performed as shown in FIG. Since the 0th to 2nd steps S0 to S2 are the same as those in FIG. 10, only the 3rd step S3 will be described. Further, it is assumed that the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB by traversing in the positive direction of the carriage and the yarn is fed to the rear needle bed BB by traversing in the negative direction.

(1) The carriage is traversed in the positive direction and the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB. After knitting with the knitting needles A and B outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle C in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needles D to F. Then, knit with the knitting needles G and H outside the empty needle section EN. By this knitting, the empty needle section EN is reduced by one stitch. Next, the carriage is traversed in the negative direction, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB, and the knitting needles h to a are knitted.

(2) The carriage is traversed in the positive direction and the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB. After knitting with the knitting needles A to C outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle D in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needles E and F. Then, knit with the knitting needles G and H outside the empty needle section EN. Next, the carriage is traversed in the negative direction, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB, and the knitting needles h to a are knitted.

(3) The carriage is traversed in the positive direction and the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB. After knitting with the knitting needles A to D outside the empty needle section EN, knit with the first knitting needle E in the order of yarn feeding in the empty needle section EN, and make a mistake with the remaining knitting needle F. Then, knit with the knitting needles G and H outside the empty needle section EN. Next, the carriage is traversed in the negative direction, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB, and the knitting needles h to a are knitted.

(4) Finally, the carriage is traversed in the positive direction, the yarn is fed to the front needle bed FB, and the knitting needles A to H are knitted. Further, the carriage is traversed in the negative direction, the yarn is fed to the rear needle bed BB, and the knitting needles h to a are knitted.

As described above, when the pre-knitted fabric 10 is knitted by the front needle bed FB after the second step S2, the first knitting needle is knitted in the yarn feeding order in the empty needle section EN, and the remaining knitting needles are missed. The knitting of one course in which the needle section EN is reduced by one stitch is repeated until the empty needle section EN disappears. Then, even after the horizontally long mesh hole 11 is formed, the mesh hole 11 can be closed in the wale direction without difficulty by increasing the number of stitches one stitch at a time. In addition, the mesh hole 11 has a neat shape.

The number of courses required to close the mesh hole 11 differs depending on the length of the mesh hole 11. Further, if a knitting machine having a sinker is used, after forming a horizontally long mesh hole 11, the mesh hole 11 is closed in the wale direction by knitting one course or a few courses by knitting the stitches while pressing the knitted fabric with the sinker. be able to.
