[0005]
Another feature is that the bind-off loop is formed using a different type of knitting yarn from the knitting yarn used for knitting the final course of the knitted fabric.
[0006]
According to the present invention, prior to the bind off process, the odd-numbered wale loop of the knitted fabric is made into a needle on the first needle bed (for example, the front bed), and the even-numbered wale loop is made to the second needle bed (for example, the back bed). ) Lock to the upper needle.
Then, the loops of 2 to 3 wales located on the upper side in the traveling direction of the bind off process on the front bed and the back bed, respectively, the 4th to 6th loops as a knitting target for the first turn as a repeat unit of the bind off process. .
After the bind off process starts, the bind off loops on the adjacent 2 to 3 wale loops on the first needle bed where the odd numbered wale loops are locked from the upper knitted fabric side end in the direction of the bind off process Form. Subsequently, among the newly formed loops, a wale loop (hereinafter referred to as a side end loop) located on the uppermost side in the progression direction of the bind-off process is even-numbered to be locked to the needle on the opposing needle bed. Overlap with side loops in the wale loop. Subsequently, the yarn feeder is reversed, and the yarn feeder is moved to the upper side in the progress direction of the bind off process. Then, a bind-off loop is formed in a loop of 2 to 3 wales adjacent to the second needle bed. Subsequently, of the newly formed loops, they are overlapped with the side end loops of the first needle bed facing the side end loops.
By the above knitting, the first turn knitting for the first to fourth loops from the knitted fabric side end is completed. Thereafter, the loop to be knitted is moved from the loop targeted for the first turn knitting to the loop located in front of 2 wales in the direction of the bind off process, and the loop to be newly knitted is The knitting process similar to the turn is repeated, and the bind-off process is performed.

The rib knitted fabric 1 for the neck is knitted from the set-up location 2 in the direction of the arrow. The bind off process is performed on the loop group of the final course of the knitted fabric that becomes the knitting end edge 3. Hereinafter, the knitting course will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the bind-off process is performed from the left end to the right end, and the progress direction of the bind-off process means a direction from left to right, and the upper side is the left side and the lower side is the right side in the progress direction of the bind-off process. Shall mean. The state of course 1 is called the origin position of the needle bed. In the following description, how many needles the back bed is racking from side to side from the origin position is indicated by a racking pitch attached to the right side of the rear bed.
[0011]
Courses 1 and 2 in FIG. 2 show rib knitting of the ribbed knitted fabric 1 for the neck before the bind off processing is started. In the course 1, a 1 × 1 rib knitting structure is knitted by alternately supplying yarn to every other needle of the rear bed and every other needle of the front bed through the yarn feeder 5. In the course 2, after the yarn feeder 5 is reversed, the knitting similar to the course 1 is performed. By repeating the knitting of the course 1 and the course 2, the rib knitted fabric 1 for the neck is knitted to the course in which the bind off process is started.
The bind off process starts from course 3. In the course 3, yarns are fed in the direction of the bind-off process from left to right by the yarn feeder 10 that feeds different types of knitting yarns from the yarn feeders 5 used for knitting in the courses 1 and 2. Different types of knitting yarns mean, for example, knitting yarns of different colors, materials and thicknesses. The yarn feeder 10 feeds the needle a of the rear bed that locks the first wale loop from the side edge of the knitted fabric and the needle c of the rear bed that locks the third wale loop. The bind-off loops 11 and 12 are formed. Subsequently, in the course 4, the rear bed is set to one pitch on the right, and among the bind-off loops newly formed on the needle a of the rear bed, the side end loop 11 on the rear bed locked to the needle on the rear bed is knitted. It overlaps with the side end loop 13 which is located on the second wale from the side end and is locked to the needle B of the front bed. In the course 5, the yarn feeder 10 is moved to the left side which is the upper side in the progress direction of the bind off process of the needle B of the front bed which newly forms a loop in the course 6. Subsequently, in course 6, the second wale loop from the knitted fabric side end, the front bed needle B and the front bed needle D locking the fourth wale loop are fed to the bind off loops 14, 15 Form. Subsequently, in the course 7, after the rear bed is racked to the left one pitch, the side end bind-off loop 14 on the front bed newly formed on the needle B of the front bed is locked on the rear bed needle c. It overlaps with the side end loop 12. In course 8, the yarn feeder is moved to the left prior to the formation of a new loop in course 9. The knitting of the courses 3 to 8 completes the release of the loop located at the first and second positions from the side end of the loop of the final course of the rib knitted fabric for the neck. With the above knitting, knitting for one turn, which is a repeating unit of the bind off process for knitting the loop groups of the first to fourth wales from the knitted fabric side end, is completed.
[0012]
In this embodiment, the knitting shown in the courses 3 to 8 is used as a repeating unit (turn), and the loop group to be knitted is positioned in front of 2 wales in the progress direction of the bind off process every time knitting for one turn is completed. Repeat the knitting while moving to the loop group. The loop described as the first to fourth loops in the turn 1 shown by the courses 3 to 8 is replaced with the first to fourth loops in the loop group to be knitted in each turn to perform knitting. The loops to be knitted in each turn are the first to fourth loops from the knitted fabric side end in turn 1, the third to sixth loops in turn 2, and the fifth to eighth loops in turn 3, with reference to the start of the bind off process. Loop.
[0013]
In course 9 where knitting of turn 2 is started, among the loops to be knitted in turn 2, feed the needles c and e of the back bed that locks the first and third wale loops from the knitted fabric side end. The bind off loops 21 and 22 are formed by threading. In the course 10, the rear bed is racked to the right one pitch and the needle c is newly formed, and then the side end bind-off loop 21 on the bed is overlapped with the side end bind-off loop 15 on the front bed that is locked to the needle D of the front bed. . In the course 11, the yarn feeder 10 is moved to the left before the knitting in the course 12. In the course 12, the bind-off loops 23 and 24 are formed by feeding the needles D and F of the front bed that locks the second and fourth wale loops from the knitted fabric side end. In course 13, the rear bed is set to one pitch left, and the side end bind-off loop 23 on the front bed newly formed on the needle D of the front bed is locked to the needle e of the rear bed. It overlaps with the loop 22. In the course 14, the yarn feeder is moved to the left side of the needle forming the loop in the subsequent knitting. As described above, the knitting of the turn 2 is completed by the knitting of the course 9 to the course 14, and the two-weave binding process is further removed from the state of the turn 1 and removed from the knitting needle. Thereafter, the knitting end portions of the knitted fabric are prevented from being unwound by repeating the knitting shown in the courses 3 to 8 serving as repeating units until the bind off process of all the loops is completed in the direction of the bind off process.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (turn 1 in FIG. 6 corresponds to knitting courses 3 to 8 and turn 2 corresponds to knitting courses 9 to 14), the bind-off process is performed at each turn by performing the knitting described above. The loop located on the most inferior side in the traveling direction of the loop is a state in which the loop formed on the front bed and the loop formed on the rear bed are alternately inserted laterally into the loops 25 to 28 of the final course. . In the bind off processing method of the present embodiment, the loop formation of the bind off loops 15 and 24 formed on the front bed following the loops 25 to 28 of the final course of the knitted fabric and the loops 12 and 22 formed on the back bed is any. Also, the yarn feeder is moved in the right direction, which is the direction in which the bind off process proceeds, and a loop is formed. Then, prior to loop formation on the other needle bed, the yarn feeder is moved to the left, which is the upper side, in the direction of the bind-off process. Therefore, the knitting yarns which are formed following the loops 25 to 28 of the final course of the knitted fabric from the bind off loops 12, 15, 22, and 24 to the adjacent loops (the knitting yarns 12a and 12b in the loop 12, the knitting yarn 15a in the loop 15, 15b, the knitting yarns 22a and 22b in the loop 22, and the knitting yarns 24a and 24b in the loop 24 all extend toward the left side, which is the upper side in the progress direction of the bind off process. Thus, the two knitting yarns extending to the adjacent loops face the same left side, so that the loops 25, 26, 27, and 28 are knitting yarns 25a, 26a, 27a, and 28a located on the lower side in the direction of the bind off process. Sinks from the surface of the knitted fabric, and only the knitting yarns 25b, 26b, 27b, 28b located on the upper side appear on the knitted fabric surface side. In FIG. 5, the bind off loop is arranged above the loops 25 to 28 of the knitted fabric final course, but in an actual knitted fabric, the bind off loop row overlaps with the loop row of the knitted fabric final course. The bind-off loop inserted into the loop of the final knitted fabric course is alternately formed with the front and back stitches every other wale, so the odd-numbered wale from the end of the knitted fabric has an even number of bind-off loops on the knitted fabric surface side. The second wales appear on the back side of the knitted fabric, and the same knitted structure is formed symmetrically on the front and back sides of the knitted fabric. Therefore, for example, a knitted fabric having a high commercial value can be knitted by performing a bind off process on the surface where both the front and back surfaces of the knitted fabric appear on the surface, such as a turtleneck that is used in a folded manner. The loop of the final knitted fabric course appears on the outside of the loop of the bind off stitch row and becomes a pattern accent. In addition, if the bind-off process is formed using a knitting yarn of a different color or a different type from the knitting yarn used for knitting the final course of the knitted fabric as in the above embodiment, the accent is emphasized.
[0015]
In the above embodiment, the case where the bind process is performed on the 1 × 1 rib knitted fabric has been described. However, prior to the start of the bind process, the stitch arrangement is alternately locked to the front bed needle and the rear bed needle. The present invention can be implemented not only in the 1 × 1 rib knitting structure but also in other knitting structures. In the above embodiment, since the 1 × 1 rib knitting structure in which the loops are alternately arranged on the needles of both the front and rear beds is bound, the knitting to distribute the loops to the front and rear beds is omitted. In the above embodiment, two eyes are continuously formed on each of the front bed and the rear bed, but three or more eyes may be formed. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the bind-off process is performed on the garment-like knitted fabric has been described. For example, the case where the bind-off process is performed on the final course of the turtleneck formed following the body knitted as a seamless sweater. It can also be used for bind-off processing of knitted fabrics that are knitted in a shape.
