When the first yarn 4 or the second yarn 5 is respectively supplied to each knitting needle 15, knitting is performed again using the respective yarns 4 and 5. After knitting, the first yarn 4 and second yarn 5 that have been passed through are
The fourth thread 4 and the second thread 5 are cut and excised at a portion a little distance from the third knitted part where the fourth thread 4 and the second thread 5 are knitted. Since each end of the first thread 4 and the second thread 5 is locked with the fourth thread 4, the first thread 4 and the second thread 5 will not unravel even if the transparent portion is removed. .

By using the above knitting method, the pattern is knitted in only 4 tiers,
As shown in FIG. 1, a roughly rectangular second knitted fabric 1 is knitted.

Here, a cap 24 knitted from the above knitted fabric is shown in FIGS. 27 to 29. 27 and 28 both show the cap 24 turned inside out, while FIG. 29 is a front view of the cap 24 shown in FIG. 28. FIG. 27 shows a state in which the first yarn 4 and the second yarn 5 are passed through, respectively, when the second knitted fabric 1 is knitted into a rectangular shape on a part of the first knitted fabric 2. In the figure, 4', .
There are many threads threaded through. FIG. 28 shows a state in which this large number of threaded threads are cut along dashed lines 25, 25 in FIG. 27. Hat 24 in this state
When viewed from the front side, as shown in Figure 29, the first
A second knitted fabric 1 having a rectangular pattern is knitted in a part of the knitted fabric 2.

According to the above embodiment, the first knitted fabric 2 and the second knitted fabric 1
Since the first knitting part 6, the second knitting part 7, and the third knitting part 8 are knitted at each boundary part 3 in the knitting direction, the second thread 5 is engaged with the first thread 4 in the first knitting part 6. At the same time, the second knitting section 7 has a buffering function against external forces applied in the longitudinal and lateral directions of the knitted fabric, while the second thread 5 can lock the first yarn 4 in the third knitting section 8. , it is possible to effectively prevent the second thread 5 from slipping out from the first thread 4, and
The second knitted fabric 1 can have the same structure as the first knitted fabric 2 and can be reliably formed in the process of knitting the knitted fabric.
Therefore, there is no need for extra steps such as applying a backing paper to the knitted fabric and then embroidering it as in the past, and the second knitted fabric 1 can be knitted in a single layer structure. The elasticity of the material will not deteriorate. Also,
Compared to conventional knitted fabrics in which flat knitting was performed using two yarns on the front and back sides, the pattern was knitted by replacing the yarn on the front side with a yarn of a different color from the two yarns mentioned above only in designated areas.
Since the second knitted fabric 1 can be knitted using only the second yarn 5, a clear pattern can be formed. In addition, if the first knitted fabric 2 of the knitted fabric is knitted with colored yarn, and the second knitted fabric 1 is knitted with white yarn to form a rectangular pattern, a name can be written on the second knitted fabric 1. This allows it to function as a nameplate. Therefore, it is suitable for use as a swimming cap for school children, a supporter, a wristband, a headband, etc.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented in various other embodiments. For example, the shape of the second knitted fabric 1 may be any shape. Furthermore, the number of stitches in each of the knitted portions 6, 7, and 8 is not limited to one as described above, but may be a plurality of stitches. Alternatively, the third knitting part 8 may be knitted after the first knitting part 6 and the second knitting part 7 are knitted repeatedly, or the first knitting part 6, the second knitting part 7, and the third knitting part 8 may be knitted. 8
The three knitted parts are repeatedly knitted to form the boundary between the first knitted fabric 2 and the second knitted fabric 1, thereby increasing the strength of the boundary between the first knitted fabric 2 and the second knitted fabric 1. You may.

Effects of the Invention According to the above configuration, the boundary portion in the knitting direction between the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric is configured to include the first knitted part, the second knitted part, and the third knitted part. , the second yarn can be stopped by the first yarn in the first knitting section, and the first yarn can be locked by the second yarn in the third knitting section. By providing a buffering function against the force applied in the lateral direction, even if an external force acts on the first yarn and the second yarn, the second knitted portion expands and contracts to relieve the external force and the first yarn and the second yarn The external force can be applied to the first yarn and the second yarn of the three knitting sections, and it is possible to effectively prevent the second yarn from slipping out from the first yarn. In other words, if there is no second organization section,
The external force acts directly on both the first knitted part, which is the boundary part between the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric, and the third knitted part,
A problem arises when the end of the first yarn or the end of the second yarn slips out and the yarn unravels at the boundary between the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric. In addition, the second knitted fabric can also be knitted using the same circular knitting machine that knits the first knitted fabric, and the pattern can be reliably formed in the process of knitting the knitted fabric without requiring any special process for forming the pattern. Therefore, it is possible to reduce costs. Further, since the second knitted fabric can be knitted with the same structure as the first knitted fabric, the second knitted fabric and the first knitted fabric can have almost the same properties. Therefore, there is no need for extra steps such as applying the backing paper to the knitted fabric and then embroidering, as in the past. The elasticity of the knitted fabric does not deteriorate. In addition, conventionally, flat knitting was performed using two threads on the front and back sides,
Compared to a knitted fabric in which a pattern is knitted by replacing the front side yarn with a yarn of a different color from the above two yarns only in a predetermined part, in the second knitted fabric, the fabric is knitted with only the second yarn. Because of this, the pattern can be clearly formed.
