FIG. 1 is a knitting process diagram according to the method for knitting a knitted fabric described in Embodiment 1. FIG. 2 is a loop diagram showing the state of the stitches formed according to the knitting process chart shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a knitting process diagram according to the method for knitting a knitted fabric described in Embodiment 3. FIG. 4 is a loop diagram showing the state of the stitches formed according to the knitting process diagram shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a first knitting process chart according to the method for knitting a knitted fabric described in Embodiment 4. FIG. 6 is a second knitting process diagram following FIG. 5.

Hereinafter, a method for knitting a knitted fabric according to an embodiment will be described based on the drawings. In the embodiment, a flat knitting machine including a first needle bed, a second needle bed, and a plurality of yarn feeders is used. The knitted fabric includes a plurality of knitted fabric parts, and each knitted fabric part is knitted with knitting yarns fed from different yarn feeders. Such a knitted fabric is, for example, a knitted fabric with a border pattern or a knitted fabric with an intarsia pattern. In knitting such a knitted fabric, after knitting the first knitted fabric part using the first yarn feeder, which is one of the plurality of yarn feeders, when switching to knitting using another yarn feeder, the first yarn feeder The knitting yarn extending from is fixed to the knitted fabric.

<Embodiment 1>
In Embodiment 1, an example of yarn end knitting using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described based on the knitting process diagram of FIG. 1 and the loop diagram of FIG. 2. The four-bed flat knitting machine includes a lower front needle bed, a lower rear needle bed, an upper front needle bed, and an upper rear needle bed. Hereinafter, the lower front needle bed, the lower rear needle bed, the upper front needle bed, and the upper rear needle bed will be referred to as FD, BD, FU, and BU, respectively. FD and BD are facing each other. The FU arranged above the FD and the BU arranged above the BD face each other. FD and FU are first needle beds, and BD and BU are second needle beds. FD, FU and BD, BU can be relatively racked. In the first embodiment, FU and BU are not used. Unlike this example, the flat knitting machine used for knitting may be a two-bed flat knitting machine.

"S+number" in the left column of FIG. 1 indicates the number of the knitting process. The right column shows the knitting state in each knitting process. The black dots in the right column indicate FD or BD knitting needles, the circle marks indicate stitches, and the inverted triangle marks indicate first yarn feeder 9. Knitting needles FU and BU are omitted from illustration. The parts related to the knitting operation of each knitting process are shown with thick lines, and the stitches are filled out. The vertical bar shown on the left side of the knitting needle is a reference line that virtually indicates the horizontal position of the needle bed. When the BD and BU are racked, the reference lines of the FD and FU and the reference lines of the BD and BU shift to the left and right. FIG. 2 shows the state of the stitches at the time when S4 in FIG. 1 is completed. In the loop diagram of FIG. 2, only one FD knitting needle and one BD knitting needle are shown.

In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the final course of the first knitted fabric portion 10. The terminal stitch of the first knitted fabric portion 10 is knitted on the second knitting needle from the left in BD. Hereinafter, this terminal stitch will be referred to as the first stitch 11. Unlike this example, the first stitch 11 may be a stitch near the terminal stitch.

In step S2, the first stitch 11 is increased (step A). In this example, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, the first stitch 11 is moved to the FD, and the second stitch 12 drawn from the first stitch 11 is knitted. The second stitch 12 is locked onto the knitting needle on which the first stitch 11 was locked in S1. Unlike this example, the first stitch 11 may be moved to the FU.

In step S3, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, and the third stitch 13 drawn out from the second stitch 12 is knitted (step B). As shown in FIG. 2, by knitting the third stitch 13 in S3, a knot 2 consisting of a sinker loop 12S connecting the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13 is formed, and the first stitch is connected to the knot 2. 11 knit loops 11N are inserted. In FIG. 2, the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line roughly corresponds to "knot 2." The knot 2 is such that the sinker loop 12S becomes annular as it goes from the second stitch 12 to the third stitch 13 and intersects the knit loop 12N, and then is inserted into a knit loop of a stitch different from the first stitch 11. is formed. In this example, the sinker loop 12S becomes annular from the second stitch 12 toward the third stitch 13, and then is inserted into the knit loop 12N of the second stitch 12 to form the knot 2. The knitting yarn 9Y forming the knit loop 11N is inserted through the ring of the knot 2.

In order to form a knot 2 consisting of the sinker loop 12S and further insert the knit loop 11N through the knot 2, after knitting the second stitch 12, the knitting yarn 9Y extending from the second stitch 12 to the first yarn feeder 9 is , the third stitch 13 may be knitted by moving the first yarn feeder 9 so as to go around the knitting yarn 9Y constituting the knit loop 11N.

In step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward and stopped at a position beyond the third stitch 13. That is, the first yarn feeder 9 is arranged in the opposite direction to the knitting direction (leftward) of the third stitch 13 knitted last. This S4 makes it difficult for the knitting yarn 9Y to be pulled out from the first yarn feeder 9 when the BD and BU are racked in the next S5.

In step S5, the BD and BU are racked to the right (process C). When racking is performed, a starting stitch that becomes a starting point for applying tension to the sinker loop 12S is placed on the needle bed opposite to the needle bed where the first stitch 11 with which the knot 2 is entangled exists. The starting stitch in this example is the third stitch 13. In this example, the first stitch 11 is locked to the FD, and all stitches other than the first stitch 11 are locked to the BD facing the FD. Therefore, due to racking in S5, the knitting needles of BD shown in FIG. 2 move to the right, that is, in the direction of the white arrow. Since the knitting yarn 9Y is difficult to be pulled out from the first yarn feeder 9 in S4, the sinker loop 12S is pulled toward the third stitch 13 (in the direction of the thick arrow) as the BD moves. When the sinker loop 12S is pulled, the knot 2 through which the knit loop 11N is inserted is tightened, and the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1. Unlike this example, the racking direction of the BD and BU may be leftward.

After step S5, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut by the cutter 8 provided in the flat knitting machine (step E). The cutter 8 is configured to be movable in the length direction of the needle bed independently of the first yarn feeder 9. After cutting the knitting yarn 9Y, if the BD and BU are further racked, the cut end of the knitting yarn 9Y is pulled out from the second stitch 12. Since the sinker loop 12S tightens the knit loop 11N, the entire knitted fabric 1 does not fray. The first stitch 11 is moved to the knitting needle where the third stitch 13 was locked.

<Embodiment 2>
In the second embodiment, an example of knitting in which the sinker loop 12S of the second stitch 12 is directly pulled will be described. In explaining this, FIG. 1 will be used.

In the second embodiment, steps S1 to S3 in FIG. 1 are performed. The flat knitting machine of this example includes a movable gripper 7 that grips the knitting yarn 9Y. The gripper 7 of this example is mounted on the first yarn feeder 9, as shown by the two-dot chain line at S3. A specific example of such a gripper 7 is, for example, a pair of rollers that sandwich a knitting yarn described in JP-A-2021-172910. Unlike this example, the gripper 7 may be configured to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed independently of the first yarn feeder 9.

In this example, after the knitting yarn 9Y is gripped by the gripper 7, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved. In this case as well, the knot 2 through which the knit loop 11N shown in FIG. 2 is inserted is tightened, and the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1. After that, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut by the cutter 8, the BD and BU are racked, and the cut end of the knitting yarn 9Y is pulled out from the second stitch 12. In this example, the moving direction of the first yarn feeder 9 may be leftward or rightward. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of this example, excessive load is not applied to stitches other than the third stitch 13.

<Embodiment 3>
In Embodiment 3, a knitting example in which the knot 2 into which the knit loop 11N of the first stitch 11 is inserted can be formed without using a split will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The view of FIG. 3 is the same as that of FIG. The V-shaped mark in FIG. 3 indicates a hook or tuck stitch, and the double circle mark indicates a double stitch.

In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the final course of the first knitted fabric portion 10. In S1, a hanging stitch 16 is further knitted on the outside in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric 1, in this example, on the left side of the first stitch 11 (Step Z). The hook 16 is formed on the blank needle of the BD.

In step S2, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right to pass through the first stitch 11. Thereafter, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, and the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13 are knitted continuously (step A and part of step B). The second stitch 12 is drawn out from the first stitch 11. In other words, the second stitch 12 is a stitch following the first stitch 11 in the wale direction. The third stitch 13 is pulled out from the hanging stitch 16. In other words, the third stitch 13 is a stitch that continues from the hanging stitch 16 in the wale direction.

In step S3, the third stitch 13 is overlapped with the second stitch 12 (remaining part of process B). By forming this overlap, as shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 4, a knot 2 (see the part surrounded by the two-dot chain line) consisting of the sinker loop 12S is formed. The knot 2 in this example is formed by the sinker loop 12S becoming annular from the second stitch 12 toward the third stitch 13 and then being inserted into the hook 16. Further, in this example, the sinker loop 13S of the third stitch 13 has a ring shape and is wrapped around the hanging stitch 16 (see the bold line arrow pointing upward to the right).

In step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and a tuck stitch 17 is knitted in the stitch to the right of the overlapped stitch. The tuck stitch 17 facilitates the formation of the hook stitch 18 in the next step S5. Moreover, the tuck stitch 17 suppresses excessive tension from being applied to the third stitch 13 in S7, which will be described later. Tuck number 17 is not essential.

In step S5, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward to form a hook 18 on the empty needle of the BD on the right side of the tuck stitch 17. In step S6, after moving the first yarn feeder 9 to the left, when moving it to the right, hooks 19 are formed in the empty needles of the BD. Thereafter, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left. The left direction is the opposite direction to the knitting direction of hook 19, which is the last stitch knitted in the series of knitting steps. The position of the hook 19 is not particularly limited. Multiplier 19 does not need to be added.

In step S7, the BD and BU are racked to the right (process C). In this example, the starting stitch that is the starting point for applying tension to the sinker loop 12S is the hanging stitch 18. Through this process, the hooks 18 and 19 in FIG. 4 move to the right. As the hooks 18 and 19 move, the knitting yarn 9Y from the hook 18 toward the knitted fabric 1 is pulled to the right, the knot 2 is tightened, and the ring of the sinker loop 13S at the location indicated by the thick arrow becomes smaller. As a result, the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1.

After step S7, hooks 18 and 19 are removed from the needle bed. When the knitting yarn 9Y is pulled by the gripper 7 described in the second embodiment, it is not necessary to form the hooks 18 and 19.

<Embodiment 4>
In Embodiment 4, an example in which the knitting yarn 9Y of the first yarn feeder 9 is fixed to the knitted fabric 1 when knitting the tubular knitted fabric 1 will be described based on FIGS. 5 and 6. 5 and 6 are viewed in the same way as FIG. 1. However, the knitting needles of FU and BU are shown with black dots.

In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the first knitted fabric portion 10 on the FD. In this example, the leftmost stitch that is locked to the BD is the first stitch 11. The stitch at the left end of the first knitted fabric portion 10 is the terminal stitch of the first knitted fabric portion 10 and is also the opposing stitch 15 facing the first stitch 11. The first stitch 11 is a stitch located near the opposing stitch 15, which is the terminal stitch.

In step S2, the opposing stitches 15 are moved to the outside in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric 1 (process X).

In step S3, the first stitch 11 is moved to the empty needle formed in step S2, and in the subsequent step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right to increase the first stitch 11 ( Step A). As a result, the first stitch 11 is returned to the same position as in step S1, and the second stitch 12 is locked to the empty needle formed in step S2.

In step S5, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left to knit a third stitch 13 that continues in the wale direction of the second stitch 12 (step B). As a result, similar to FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, a knot 2 consisting of a sinker loop 12S connecting the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13 is formed, and the knit loop 11N of the first stitch 11 is inserted into the knot 2. be in a state of being

In step S6, after moving the first yarn feeder 9 to the right, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left to knit a new third stitch 14 that continues in the wale direction of the third stitch 13 (step D). The knitting direction of the new third stitch 14 is the same left direction as the knitting direction of the third stitch 13 in step S5. This knitting further forms a knot (not shown) consisting of a sinker loop connecting the new third stitch 14 and the old third stitch 13, and the knit loop of the second stitch is inserted through the knot. .

Here, the organization in step S6 is not essential. If a new third stitch 14 is not knitted, "new third stitch 14" in the subsequent steps is read as "third stitch 13".

In step S7 in FIG. 6, the new third stitch 14 is moved outside the knitting width of the knitted fabric, and the opposing stitch 15 is returned to its original position (the position in step S1 in FIG. 5) (step Y). The new third stitch 14 is locked to the FD.

In step S8, all the stitches of the first knitted fabric portion 10 that are locked on the FD are moved to the BU. The new third stitch 14 remains locked to the FD.

In step S9, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right. The right direction is the opposite direction to the knitting direction (left direction) of the new third stitch 14. This step S9 makes it difficult for the knitting yarn 9Y to be pulled out from the first yarn feeder 9 when the BD and BU are racked in the next step S10.

In step S10, the BD and BU are racked to the right. By this racking, the knot 2 formed in step S5 and the knot formed in step S6 are tightened, and the knitting yarn 9Y is fixed to the knitted fabric 1. Unlike this example, the racking direction of the BD and BU may be leftward.

In step S11, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, the racking pitch of the BD and BU is returned to the same state as in S9, and the stitches of the first knitted fabric portion 10 that were left in the BU are returned to the FD.

After step S11, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut near the knot, and the new third stitch 14 is removed from the knitting needles. The knitting yarn 9Y may be cut by the cutter 8 shown in the first embodiment. In this case, there is no need for a person to perform the work of tightening the knot and the work of cutting the knitting yarn 9Y, and automation of knitting by the flat knitting machine is achieved. Note that when the knitting yarn 9Y fed from the first yarn feeder 9 is used again, the knitting yarn 9Y does not need to be cut.
