Description

  The present invention comprises a knitting method of a knitted fabric provided with a set-up portion continuously knitted in a wale direction of a drawn yarn stitch row constituted by drawn yarns, and a set-up portion knitted by the knitting method of the knitted fabric. Concerning the knitted fabric.

  When knitting a knitted fabric using a weft knitting machine, draw a yarn stitch row using the draw yarn on the needle bed of the flat knitting machine, and continuously knit the set-up portion in the wale direction of the draw yarn stitch row Do. For knitting of the set-up portion, a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn is used. Continuing in the wale direction of the set-up portion, the base knitted fabric portion to be the main body of the knitted fabric is knitted. 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, the drawn yarn stitch row is knitted as a starting point for knitting the set-up portion, and is removed from the knitted fabric after knitting of the knitted fabric is completed. That is, in the finished knitted fabric, the set-up portion becomes the beginning of the knitted fabric.

  For example, the technology described in Patent Document 1 is known as a technology for knitting the set-up portion. In Patent Document 1, stitches are knitted in a zigzag shape on the front and back needle beds, and bag knitting is performed on a stitch row consisting of the zigzag stitches to form a set-up portion.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-194154

  The conventional set-up portion has a portion knitted by double layer bag knitting, so 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 which can knit a knitted fabric which is not thickened in the set-up portion and which is difficult to spread in the width direction of the fabric. It is. Another object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric provided with a thin setting portion which is difficult to spread in the knitting width direction.

  In the present specification, the "front side" is the side that becomes the surface of the knitted fabric when using the knitted fabric, and the "back side" is the side that becomes the back of the knitted fabric when using the knitted fabric. For example, in the case of a tubular knitted fabric, the outside of the tube is the "front side" and the inside of the tube is the "back side". In addition, when the knitted fabric is viewed from the front side, the “front stitch” is a stitch drawn from the old stitch from the back side to the front side, and with the “back eye”, when the knitted fabric is viewed from the front side It is the stitch drawn out from the old stitch toward the back side.

The present invention relates to a method of knitting a knitted fabric in which a set-up portion is knitted continuously in the wale direction of a drawn yarn stitch row using a flatbed knitting machine having opposed first needle beds and second needle beds. The knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention performs the following steps A and B to form the set-up portion, and starts knitting the base knitted portion following the wale direction of the set-up portion. It is a method.
A step of knitting a set-up stitch row continuous in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row to be locked to the needle bed of at least one of the first needle bed and the second needle bed.
· The set-up stitch row is divided into a group consisting of odd-numbered stitches and a group consisting of even-numbered stitches as viewed from one end side in the knitting width direction, and one of the groups is a first group and the other group is By defining a second group intersecting the back side of the first group in a post-process and relatively moving the first group and the second group in the knitting width direction, the set-up stitch rows are adjacent to each other A step B of forming odd-numbered stitches and even-numbered stitches in the knitting width direction to form the set-up portion composed of the first group and the second group.

Here, the following procedure can be mentioned as a procedure of relatively moving the first group and the second group in the knitting width direction. The following examples are all examples in which the set-up portion continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row locked to one needle bed is formed on one needle bed.
· Knitting the set-up stitch row continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row with one needle bed, without moving the first group from one needle bed, passing the second group through the other needle bed, one needle The floor is moved to one end side or the other end side in the knitting width direction.
With the set-up stitch row continuing in the wale direction of the drawn-out thread stitch row being locked to the other needle bed, the first group and the second group are sequentially moved from that state to one needle bed. At that time, the locking position of the first group in the knitting width direction is shifted to one end side (the other end side) in the knitting width direction, and the locking position of the second group in the knitting width direction is the other end side of the knitting width direction Side).
-From the state in which the set-up stitch row is locked to the other needle bed, the needle group is moved to one needle bed in the order of the first group and the second group. At this time, the locking position in the knitting width direction of the first group is not changed, and the locking position in the knitting width direction of the second group is shifted to one end side or the other end side in the knitting width direction.
-From the state in which the set-up stitch row is locked to the other needle bed, the needle group is moved to one needle bed in the order of the first group and the second group. At that time, the locking position of the first group in the knitting width direction is shifted to one end side or the other end side of the knitting width direction, and the locking position of the second group in the knitting width direction is not changed.
-From the state in which the set-up stitch row is locked to the other needle bed, the needle group is moved to one needle bed in the order of the first group and the second group. At that time, the locking position of the first group in the knitting width direction is shifted to one end side (the other end side) in the knitting width direction, and the locking position of the second group in the knitting width direction is the same as the first group. , Shift more or less than the first group.

  As one mode of the knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention, when the base knitted fabric portion is a rib structure, at least a part of the surface of the rib structure is a wale of the first group constituting the set-up portion. A form can be mentioned which follows the direction.

  For example, when the base knitted fabric portion is made into a 1 × 1 rib structure or a 1 × 3 rib structure, it is possible to knit so that all the surface of the rib structure continue in the wale direction of the first group. When the base knitted fabric portion is a 2 × 2 rib structure, 2 × 3 rib structure, or 3 × 1 rib structure, either the odd numbered group or the even numbered group is the first group However, at least a part of the front face of the rib structure continues in the wale direction of the first group of stitches.

  As one mode of the knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention, when the line of the drawn yarns is locked to each of the first needle bed and the second needle bed, the first needle bed and the second needle bed After knitting the set-up portion continuous in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row to be locked to any one needle bed of the needle bed, the drawn yarn stitch row to be locked to the other needle bed By knitting the set-up portion continuous in the direction of the wales, the form in which the set-up portion formed on the first needle bed and the set-up portion formed on the second needle bed are tubularly connected It can be mentioned. In that case, the base knitted fabric portion continuing in the wale direction of the set-up portion on the first needle bed side and the base knit fabric portion continuing in the wale direction of the unwinding portion on the second needle bed side Organize in a shape.

  The knitted fabric according to the present invention is a knitted fabric comprising a set-up unit and a base knitted fabric section continuing in the wale direction of the set-up unit, wherein the set-up unit comprises a set-up stitch row consisting of a plurality of stitches. A unit in which adjacent odd-numbered stitches and even-numbered stitches in the set-up stitch row cross in the knitting width direction when viewed from one end side in the knitting width direction of the set-up stitch row The set-up portion is formed by arranging a plurality of the above.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is not necessary to perform bag knitting at the time of knitting the set-up portion, and the set-up portion can be thinned. Further, as shown in the embodiment described later, the set-up portion which does not have a portion knitted by bag knitting is formed by connecting each knitting yarn in a figure of eight, so that it is excellent in stretchability. Since the set-up portion excellent in stretchability shrinks along with the contraction of the base knitted fabric portion in the knitting width direction, it is difficult for the set-up portion side of the base knitted fabric portion to spread in the knitting width direction.

  When the knitted fabric is viewed from the front side, in the rib structure in which the front and back eyes are repeated in a predetermined pattern in the knit width direction, unevenness due to front and back differences is generated at the boundary between the front and back eyes adjacent in the knit width direction. On the other hand, in the method of knitting the knitted fabric according to the present invention, the first group and the second group are moved relative to each other so that the stitches of the first group intersect the front side of the stitches of the second group. The stitches of the group are protruded on the front side of the knitted fabric more than the stitches of the second group, and unevenness is generated between the stitches of the first group and the stitches of the second group. Therefore, when the base knitted fabric portion is knitted with a rib structure, the set-up portion along the unevenness of the rib structure is formed by continuously knitting at least a part of the outer surface of the rib structure continuously in the wale direction of the first group stitch. And the set-up part is finished beautifully.

  When knitting a tubular base knitted fabric portion, the set-up portion is also knitted tubularly. By knitting this tubular set-up portion according to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is effective to expand the start end portion (end portion with the set-up portion) of the tubular base knitted fabric portion into a trumpet shape. Can be suppressed.

  The knitted fabric of the present invention comprises a set-up portion knitted by the method of knitting a knitted fabric of the present invention. Since the set-up portion knitted by the method of knitting the knitted fabric of the present invention is thin and hardly spreads in the width direction of the knitted fabric, the knitted fabric of the present invention provided with such a set-up portion looks good.

1 is a knitting process diagram of a method of knitting a knitted fabric shown in Embodiment 1. FIG. FIG. 2 is a loop diagram of a knitted fabric including a set-up unit knitted according to the knitting process diagram of FIG. 1; FIG. 7 is a knitting process diagram of a method of knitting a knitted fabric shown in a second 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 the set-up portion. In FIG. 1, “S + number” indicates the knitting process number, the reverse triangle mark indicates the yarn feeder 9, FD indicates the lower front needle bed, FU indicates the upper front needle bed, and BD indicates the lower rear needle bed. BU indicates the upper back 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.

  S0 shows a state in which the drawn yarn stitch rows 1, 1 knitted with drawn yarn are locked to the knitting needles A to L of the FD and the knitting needles A to L of the BD, respectively. From this state, the set-up portion 2 (see S3) continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row 1 of BD is knitted.

  In S1, after moving the yarn withdrawal stitch row 1 locked to BD (one needle bed) to the opposing FU (the other needle bed), the yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right in the drawing, and the yarn withdrawal stitches The set-up stitch row 10 continuing in the wale direction of row 1 is knitted (step A equivalent). The stitch row to be knitted to form the set-up portion 2 is only this set-up stitch row 10, and it is not necessary to perform bag knitting as in the prior art after this S1. The knitting yarn of the set-up stitch row 10 is a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn. Here, after knitting the set-up stitch row 10 with BD, the set-up stitch row 10 may be moved to the FU. However, since the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 are moved a plurality of times in the post-process, in order to reduce the load on the stitches of the set-up stitch row 10, the drawn yarn stitch row 1 is moved to FU as shown in S1. It is preferable to knit the set-up stitch row 10 after letting it go.

  After performing S1, when performing S2, the set stitch row 10 is conceptually divided into two groups. Specifically, the set-up stitch row 10 is divided into a group consisting of odd-numbered stitches and a group consisting of even-numbered stitches as viewed from one end side (left side in the drawing) of the knitting width direction. In this example, a group consisting of odd-numbered stitches locked to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K of the FU is defined as a first group G1, and knitting needles B, D, F, H, A group consisting of even-numbered stitches locked to J and L is defined as a second group G2. The second group G2 is crossed at the back side viewed from the BD side of the first group G1 in a later step.

  In S2, the first group G1 locked to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K of the FU is moved to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L of the BD (one of process B Department). That is, the stitches of the first group G1 are moved by one stitch to the other end side (right side) in the knitting width direction.

  In S3, by moving the first group G1 and the second group G2 relatively in the knitting width direction, adjacent odd-numbered stitches and even-numbered stitches in the set-up stitch row 10 intersect in the knitting width direction Allow (remaining part of step B). Specifically, the second group G2 locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L of the FU is moved to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K of the BD. That is, the stitches of the second group G2 are moved by one stitch to one end side in the knitting width direction. By this S3, the adjacent odd-numbered stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 and the even-numbered stitches in the knitting width direction are switched, and the odd-numbered stitch and the even-numbered stitch cross in the knitting width direction. The set-up portion 2 is formed by the first group G1 and the second group G2 in which the adjacent stitches intersect.

  When S3 is completed, the set-up portion 2 is knitted with respect to the drawn yarn stitch row 1 locked to the FD. Specifically, FD and FU are regarded as one needle bed, and BD and BU are regarded as the other needle bed, and the same knitting as S1 to S3 is performed.

  By means of the knitting described above, the set-up portion 2 connected in a tubular shape is knitted. Thereafter, the base knitted fabric portion continuous in the wale direction of the set-up unit 2 is knitted. In this example, the base knitted fabric portion is a 2 × 2 rib structure. When the base knitted fabric portion is a rib structure, it is preferable to knit at least a part of the surface of the rib structure so as to be continuous in the wale direction of the stitches of the first group G1.

  A loop diagram of the knitted fabric 100 provided with the set-up unit 2 knitted according to the knitting process diagram of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows a portion of the tubular knitted fabric 100 including the set-up portion 2 shown in S3 of FIG. 1 as viewed from the outside (front side) of the tubular knitted fabric 100, The stitch drawn from the old stitch from the back side to the front side of the drawing is the front stitch, and the stitch drawn from the old stitch from the front side to the back side is the back stitch. The capital letters in FIG. 2 correspond to the positions of the knitting needles in FIG. FIG. 2A is a loop diagram of the knitted fabric 100 immediately after knitting, in which the set-up portion 2 is knitted in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row 1, and 2 × 2 in the wale direction of the set-up portion 2. A base knitted fabric portion 3 composed of rib tissue is knitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (B), the stitches of the set-up portion 2 are deformed when the drawn yarn row 1 is removed from the set-up portion 2 from the state of FIG. 2 (A), and finally FIG. 2 (C) As shown in FIG. 5, the stitches of the unwinding unit 2 are entangled at the position of the sinker loop of the base knitted fabric portion 3 so that the base knitted fabric portion 3 can not be loosened. The set-up unit 2 is configured by a set-up stitch row 10 composed of a plurality of stitches. Specifically, when viewed from one end side (right side in the drawing surface) of the set-up stitch row 10 in the knitting width direction, the adjacent odd-numbered stitches (stitches of the first group G1 in FIG. 1) and the even number in the set-up stitch row 10 A plurality of units 20 in which the second stitch (the stitch of the second group G2 in FIG. 1) intersects in the knitting width direction are arranged to form the set-up portion 2. Since the set-up stitch row 10 is knitted with a single knitting yarn, adjacent units 20 are connected by the knitting yarn. Even if the removal yarn stitch row 1 is removed, the set-up portion 2 is held without being loosened because adjacent odd-numbered stitches and even-numbered stitches in the set-up stitch row 10 constituting the set-up portion 2 And intersect, and the intersecting stitches are intertwined. Unlike this example, if the adjacent stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 are not entangled without crossing each other, the removal stitch row 1 is removed to cause the set-up stitch row 10 to be straightened.

  As shown in FIG. 2C, since the set-up portion 2 of this example is thin and inconspicuous, the appearance of the knitted fabric 100 is improved. Further, since the set-up portion 2 is excellent in stretchability, even if the tubular base knitted fabric portion 3 shrinks in the knitting width direction, the set-up portion 2 shrinks as the base knitted fabric portion 3 shrinks, It is difficult for the set-up portion 2 side of the base knitted fabric portion 3 to spread like a trumpet. Here, in the loop diagram of FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, each stitch is shown large so that each stitch of the set-up portion 2 can be seen, but in actuality, each stitch is shrunk from the illustrated state. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 2, of the 2 × 2 rib tissues constituting the base knitted fabric part 3, the stitches knitted by the knitting needles A, D, E, H, I, L are front stitches, and the knitting needles B, The stitches composed of C, F, G, J and K are back eyes. Irregularities can be produced at the boundaries between the front and back eyes (the boundaries of knitting needles A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H, I-J, and K-L). On the other hand, the stitches of the first group G1 of the set-up unit 2 protrude on the front side of the knitted fabric 100 rather than the stitches of the second group G2, and unevenness is generated between the stitches of the first group G1 and the stitches of the second group G2. Among the surface of the rib structure of this example, the surface knitted with the knitting needles D, H, L is continuously knitted in the stitches of the first group G1, so the knitting needles C-D, G-H, K- At the boundary of L, the unevenness of the rib structure and the unevenness of the set-up portion 2 are aligned, and the set-up portion 2 is finished beautifully. Here, assuming that the base knitted fabric portion 3 is a 1 × 1 rib structure composed of a front surface continuous to the first group G1 and a back surface continuous to the second group G2, unevenness and set-up of the rib structure The concavities and convexities of the part 2 match completely, and the set-up part 2 is finished very beautifully.

  Here, in the first embodiment, when N is a natural number of 1 or more, the 2N-1st (odd-numbered) stitch and the 2N-th (even-numbered) stitch are crossed in the knitting width direction. The second (even-numbered) stitch and the (2N + 1) -th (odd-numbered) stitch may be crossed in the knitting width direction.

  Also, unlike in the first embodiment, after S0 in FIG. 1, after knitting a pair of set-up stitch rows 10 connected in a tubular manner into FD and BD, adjacent to set-up stitch rows 10 of BD (or FD) It is also possible to replace adjacent stitches of the set-up stitch row 10 of the FD (or BD) after replacing the stitches to be performed.

Second Embodiment
The set-up stitch row 10 according to the first embodiment can be divided into a plurality of times for knitting. For example, in S1 of FIG. 1, the knitting yarn is fed from the yarn feeder 9 and the first stitch row is knitted on the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K of BU. Next, the knitting yarn is fed from the yarn feeding port 9, or the knitting yarn is fed from the yarn feeding port other than the yarn feeding port 9, and the second stitch row is placed on the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L. Organize. Assuming that the first stitch row is a first group G1 and the second stitch row is a second group G2, a combination of these first and second stitch rows is regarded as a set-up stitch row 10 S2 and S3 may be performed after that because it can be forgiven.

  A loop diagram of the knitted fabric 100 of the second embodiment is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, unlike FIG. 2, the knitted fabric 100 is viewed from the back side (the inner side of the tube). As shown in FIG. 3, when the stitches of the first stitch row 21 and the stitches of the second stitch row 22 cross in the knitting width direction, the first stitch row 21 and the second stitch row 22 It is possible to form a non-entangled, unraveling set-up portion 2. In the case of this example, one unit 20 of the set-up portion 2 is formed by the stitches of the adjacent first stitch row 21 and the stitches of the second stitch row 22. Although this set-up portion 2 is thinner than the conventional set-up portion, it is a firm set-up portion 2.

  In this example, the base knitted fabric portion 3 is configured with a rib structure of 1 × 1, and the outer stitch is knitted in the wale direction of the first group G1, and the back stitch is knitted in the wale direction of the second group G2. ing. Therefore, since the unevenness in the knitting width direction of the rib structure and the unevenness in the knitting width direction of the set-up portion 2 completely coincide with each other, the vicinity of the set-up portion 2 is beautifully finished. Since FIG. 3 is a view of the knitted fabric 100 from the back side, the stitch drawn from the old stitch from the front side to the back side of the paper surface is drawn from the front stitch from the front side from the back side. The stitches are back eyes.
