Description

  The present invention relates to a method of knitting a knitted fabric in which a set-up unit is knitted using a flat knitting machine and a base knitted fabric unit is knitted subsequently to the set-up unit.

  When knitting a knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine, first, a set-up portion is knitted, and a base knitted fabric portion to be a main body of the knitted fabric is knitted continuously in the wale direction of the set-up portion. By knitting the set-up portion, it is possible to knit the base knitted fabric portion without unraveling the stitches of the base knitted fabric portion. Here, in knitting the set-up portion, the drawn yarn stitch row may be knitted with a pull-off yarn different from the set-up portion, and the set-up portion may be knitted subsequently to the punched yarn stitch row. The drawn yarn is removed from the knitted fabric after finishing knitting the knitted fabric. That is, in the finished knitted fabric, the set-up portion becomes the beginning of the knitted fabric.

  As a technique for knitting the set-up portion, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 1 is known. For example, in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1, stitch rows are knitted in a zigzag shape on the front and back needle beds, and among the zigzag-shaped stitch rows, a plurality of stitches locked on one needle bed are connected in the course direction. After knitting the side stitch row, the knitting of the other side is carried out by connecting the plurality of stitches engaged with the other needle bed in the course direction, thereby forming the set-up portion.

JP, 2015-63765, A

  Since the conventional set-up portion has a portion knitted by bag knitting, the set-up portion tends to be thicker than the base knitted fabric portion. In addition, since the set-up portion is difficult to shrink due to the portion knitted by the bag knitting, when the base knitted fabric portion is a knitted fabric that easily shrinks in the knitting width direction such as rib tissue, the base knitted fabric portion is knitted The outlet side tends to spread in the knitting width direction.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its objects is to provide a method of knitting a knitted fabric capable of knitting a knitted fabric in which the set-up portion is not thick. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of knitting a knitted fabric in which the set-up portion is unlikely to spread in the widthwise direction of the fabric.

The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention is
A knitting method of knitting a set-up unit using a flat knitting machine having a first needle bed and a second needle bed opposed to the front and back, and knitting a base knit fabric unit following the set-up unit,
The set-up unit is
One set of needle beds (one of the first needle bed and the second needle bed) and the other needle bed (the first needle bed and the second needle bed) And a step A) in which the first and second members are alternately locked.
A knitting for holding a sinker loop of the set-up stitch row between a plurality of stitches locked to the one needle bed in the set-up stitch row and a plurality of stitches locked to the other needle bed Step B of inserting a thread;
Continuously in the wale direction of the set-up stitch row, the step C of knitting a new fixing stitch row holding the knit loop of the set-up stitch row is performed.

  Here, the set-up stitch row alternately locked on one needle bed and the other needle bed in step A is alternately stitched on one needle bed and the other needle bed. It may be obtained by forming, or may be obtained by distributing the set-up stitch row knitted by one needle bed to one needle bed and the other needle bed. Further, the knitting yarn used in step B may be different from or the same as the knitting yarn used for knitting of the set-up stitch row. Furthermore, the knitting yarn used for knitting the set-up stitch row and the knitting yarn used for knitting the fixing stitch row may be the same or different.

  As an embodiment of the knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention, the knitting yarn used in the step B may include a form including an elastic yarn.

  As an embodiment of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, there can be mentioned a configuration in which the set-up portion connected in a tubular shape is knitted.

  As one mode of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, when knitting the base knitted fabric portion, the knitting yarn may be inserted into the base knitted fabric portion by inlay knitting.

  Inlay knitting is a knitting in which the stitches of the base stitch row are distributed to the front and back needle beds, and the knitting yarn is sandwiched between the distributed stitches. For example, JP-A 60-199953 and JP-A 2007- As described in Japanese Patent No. 277738, it is a known knitting technique.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the knitting yarn is inserted between the stitches distributed before and after the set-up stitch row constituting a part of the set-up portion, and each sinker loop of the set-up stitch row is By holding down, the sinker loop can be held. Further, by holding the knit loops of the set-up stitch row in the fixing stitch row, the holding of the sinker loop by the knitting yarn is determined, and the unwinding of the set-up portion can be prevented. That is, the unraveling of the set-up portion, which is the starting end of the knitted fabric, is performed by a simple method of inserting a knitting yarn between the front and back stitches of the set-up stitch row without performing bag knitting which was conventionally required. Can be prevented. The set-up portion without the bag-knitted structure is finished thinner than the conventional set-up portion. In addition, since there is no bag-knitted structure that does not easily expand and contract in the width direction of the knitting, the setting-out portion also contracts in response to the contraction of the base knitted fabric portion. It is difficult for the side with the protruding portion to spread in the knitting width direction.

  By arranging the knitting yarn including the elastic yarn between the stitches of the set-up stitch row, the stretchability of the set-up portion can be further enhanced.

  When knitting a tubular base knitted fabric portion, the set-up portion is also knitted tubularly. By knitting this tubular set-up portion with the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is possible to effectively suppress the start end portion of the tubular base knitted fabric portion from being spread like a trumpet.

  By inserting the same knitting yarn as the knitting yarn used in the set-up portion into the base knitted fabric portion, the base knitted fabric portion and the set-up portion have the same configuration, so that the boundary between the two can be made inconspicuous.

FIG. 5 is a knitting process diagram of the set-up portion of the knitted fabric according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a knitting process diagram of a base knitted fabric portion of the knitted fabric according to the first embodiment.

First Embodiment
In the first embodiment, an example in which a tubular set-up unit is knitted using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described. The flat knitting machine used for knitting may be a two-bed flat knitting machine, and the setting-up portion may not be cylindrical.

  FIG. 1 is a knitting process diagram for knitting a set-up portion of a knitted fabric. In FIG. 1, “S + number” indicates the knitting process number, the inverted triangle marks indicate the yarn feeders 8 and 9, FD indicates the lower front needle bed (first needle bed), and FU indicates the upper front needle bed (first Needle bed), BD shows a lower rear needle bed (second needle bed), and BU shows an upper rear needle bed (second needle bed). The capital letter alphabet indicates the position of the knitting needle. The arrows in the figure indicate the movement of the stitches, and the portions where the knitting operation is actually performed in each knitting step are indicated by thick lines.

  In S0, a state in which the drawn yarn stitch rows 1 and 2 knitted with the drawn yarn are locked to the knitting needles B to K of the BD and the knitting needles B to K of the FD is shown. From this state, following in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch rows 1 and 2, the tubular set-up portions 3 and 4 (see S4 and S6) are knitted. Here, in the case of using a flatbed knitting machine provided with a movable sinker (refer to JP-A-2015-132026 etc.) for pressing the knitting yarn at the time of knitting, the unwinding unit 3, It is also possible to organize four.

  In S1, after moving the stitches of the knitting needles C, E, G, I, and K to the opposing knitting needles of the opposite FU among the extraction yarn stitch row 1 (S0) locked to the BD, the yarn Y8 is fed To move the yarn feeder 8 to the right side of the drawing, and the set-up stitch row 10 continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row 1 is the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J and the knitting needles C, E, G, Form using I, K. The knitting yarn Y8 is a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn.

  Here, it is also possible to knit the set-up stitch row 10 with BD without moving a part of the removed yarn stitch row 1 to the FU (the same applies to the set-up stitch row 20 described later).

  In S2, the stitches of the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J are moved to the opposing knitting needles of BU among the drawn yarn stitch row 2 (S0) to be locked to the FD, and the knitting formed in FU in S1. The stitches of the unrolled stitch row 10 are returned to BD. When the removal yarn stitch row 1 is not moved to the FU in S1, an operation for returning the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 to BD is not necessary.

  In S2, the yarn feeder 8 is further moved to the left side, and the set-up stitch row 20 continuing in the wale direction of the pulled-out yarn stitch row 2 is moved by the knitting yarn Y8 to the knitting needles K, I, G, E, C and BU of the FD. It forms using knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B.

  In step S3, the stitches of the knitting needles C, E, G, I, and K are moved to the opposing knitting needles of the opposing FU among the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 to be locked to the BD. And the stitches of the set-up stitch row 20 formed in BU in S2 are returned to FD. A state (1 ×) in which the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 are alternately engaged with BD (one needle bed) and FU (the other needle bed) by the movement of the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 (Locking state of 1). When the set-up stitch row 10 is set to a locked state other than the 1 × 1 locked state (for example, 1 × 2 locked state), adjacent stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 are locked to the same needle bed Such a thing is not done because the part being done will be solved.

  In S3, the yarn feeder 9 for feeding the knitting yarn Y9 is further moved rightward, and between the front and back needle beds, that is, the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 locked to the BD and the set-up stitch locked to the FU. The knitting yarn Y9 holding the sinker loop of the set-up stitch row 10 is inserted between the stitches of the row 10 (corresponding to the step B related to the knitting of the set-up portion 3).

  The material and form of the knitting yarn Y9 are not particularly limited. For example, a knitting yarn containing an elastic yarn can be mentioned as the knitting yarn Y9. In the case of a knitting yarn Y9 including an elastic yarn, the setting-up portion 3 can have high stretchability. Here, as a knitting yarn to be inserted into the set-up stitch row 10, a knitting yarn Y8 fed from a yarn feeder 8 can also be used. In that case, it is preferable to tack on the right end stitch (FU knitting needle K) of the set-up stitch row 10 or to form a stitch on an empty needle on the right side of the knitting needle K so that the knitting yarn does not slacken. When forming a hook, it is better to remove the hook from the needle bed after S5 described later.

  In S4, the yarn feeder 8 is moved to the right, and the fixing stitch row 11 continuing in the wale direction of the set-up stitch row 10 is the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J of the BD and the knitting needles C, E, Form into G, I, K (corresponding to the process C related to the knitting of the set-up portion 3). The knit loops of the set-up stitch row 10 are held by the fixing stitch row 11, and the knitting yarn Y9 arranged between the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 is fixed so as not to be separated from the set-up stitch row 10. A set-up unit 3 is configured by the set-up stitch row 10, the knitting yarn Y9 disposed between the stitches, and the fixing stitch row 11 following the set-up stitch row 10.

  Here, in the case where base knitted fabric portions 5 and 6 to be described later are made to be a woven fabric, unlike the example shown in the drawings, after returning the stitches of set-up stitch row 10 locked to FU to BD, for fixing It is preferable to knit the stitch row 11.

  In S5, of the stitches of the fixed stitch row 11, the stitch engaged with the FU is moved to the knitting needle of the opposing BD, and the stitches of the FD among the stitches of the set-up stitch row 20, B, D, F, The stitches to be locked to H and J are moved to the knitting needles of the opposing BU (corresponding to the process A related to the knitting of the set-up portion 4). State (1 ×) in which the stitches of the set-up stitch row 20 are alternately engaged with FD (one needle bed) and BU (the other needle bed) by movement of the stitches of the set-up stitch row 20 (Locking state of 1).

  In S5, the yarn feeder 9 is further moved leftward, and between the front and back needle beds, that is, between the stitch of the set-up stitch row 20 locked to the FD and the stitch of the set-out stitch row 20 locked to the BU. Then, the knitting yarn Y9 holding the sinker loop of the set-up stitch row 20 is inserted (corresponding to step B related to the knitting of the set-up portion 4).

  In S6, the fixing stitch row 21 continuous in the wale direction of the set-up stitch row 20 is formed on the knitting needles K, I, G, E, C of the FD and the knitting needles J, H, F, D, B of the BU It corresponds to the process C which concerns on knitting of the set-up part 4). The knit loops of the set-up stitch row 20 are held by the fixing stitch row 21, and the knitting yarn Y 9 disposed between the stitches of the set-up stitch row 20 is fixed so as not to be separated from the set-up stitch row 20. A set-up unit 4 is configured by the set-up stitch row 20, the knitting yarn Y9 sandwiched between the stitches, and the fixing stitch row 21 following the set-up stitch row 20.

  In S7, of the stitches of the fixing stitch row 21, the stitch engaged with the BU is moved to the facing FD. By the knitting described above, the setting-up portion 3 locked to the BD and the setting-out portion 4 locked to the FD are connected in a tubular shape. In particular, in this example, after performing the steps A, B, C relating to the knitting of the set-up portion 3, the steps A, B, C pertaining to the knitting of the set-up portion 4 are inserted into the set-up portion 3. Since the knitting yarn Y9 and the knitting yarn Y9 inserted into the set-up portion 4 are connected, it is possible to effectively suppress the start end portion of the knitted fabric from spreading like a trumpet.

  Thereafter, the base knitted fabric portions 5, 6 continuous in the wale direction of the set-up portions 3, 4 are knitted. In this example, the knitting yarn Y9 used for knitting the set-up portions 3 and 4 is knitted into the base knitted fabric portions 5 and 6 by inlay knitting. An example of the formation will be described based on FIG. The view of the drawing is the same as in FIG.

  A state in which the set-up portions 3 and 4 shown in S7 of FIG. 1 are completed is shown in S10 of FIG. From this state, in S11, the stitches of the set-up unit 3 are distributed to BD and FU, the yarn feeder 8 is moved to the right, and the base stitch row 50 following the set-up unit 3 is knitted. The base stitch row 50 is a stitch row that constitutes a part of the base knitted fabric portion 5 and can also be knitted with a knitting yarn that is fed from a yarn feeder other than the yarn feeder 8.

  Here, in S11, the stitches of the set-up portion 3 are distributed in the 1 × 1 locked state, but another distribution may be performed. The base knitted fabric parts 5 and 6 are not in places where unfolding prevention is necessary like the set-up stitch rows 3 and 4 which become the starting point of the knitted fabric, but even in the locked state other than 1 × 1 locked state It is because it does not come to understand. For example, the stitches of the set-up portion 3 may be distributed so as to be in a 1 × 2, 2 × 1, 2 × 2 locked state. In addition, after knitting the base stitch row 50, the stitches of the base stitch row 50 may be distributed to BD and FU.

  In S12, the yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, the yarn Y9 is inserted between the front and back needle beds, and the yarn Y9 is arranged between the stitches of the base stitch row 50 arranged in BD and FU.

  In S13, the stitches of the base stitch row 50 locked to the FU are moved to the knitting needles of the opposing BD, and the stitches of the setting-up portion 4 locked to the FD are distributed to FD and BU, and the yarn feeder 8 is It is moved to the left and the base stitch row 60 following the setting-up unit 4 is knitted. The base stitch row 60 is a stitch row which constitutes a part of the base knitted fabric portion 6.

  In S14, the yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, the yarn Y9 is inserted between the front and back needle beds, and the yarn Y9 is arranged between the stitches of the base stitch row 60 arranged in FD and BU. Thereafter, by repeating the same knitting as in S11 to S14, it is possible to knit the base knitted fabric parts 5 and 6 in which the knitting yarn Y9 is woven.

  As shown in the knitting process described above, since the bag knitting is not performed when knitting the set-up portions 3 and 4, the set-up portions 3 and 4 become inconspicuous, and the set-up portions of the base knitted fabric portions 5 and 6 Since it is difficult for the sides 3 and 4 to spread like a trumpet, the appearance of the knitted fabric can be improved. In addition, by using the knitting yarn Y9 used for the set-up portions 3 and 4 also for inlay knitting of the base knitted fabric portions 5 and 6, at the boundary between the set-up portions 3 and 4 and the base knitted fabric portions 5 and 6 It is not necessary to carry out the yarn drawing of the knitting yarn Y9, and it is possible to reduce the number of places where the yarn Y9 is to be cut off in the entire knitted fabric.

1 and 2 removal yarn stitch row 3 and 4 set-up portion 10, 20 set-up stitch row 11, 21 stitch row 5 and 6 for fixing base fabric portion 50, 60 base stitch row 8, 9 yarn feeder Y8 and Y9 yarn
