Specification

Method for forming additional stitches and knitted fabric with stitches formed on the inner side from the end in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of forming an increased stitch on the inner side of the knitting width direction end of the knitted fabric when the knitted fabric is knitted with a flat knitting machine, and a knitted fabric in which such an increased stitch is formed. Concerning.

Background art

[0002] In the process of knitting a knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, in order to knit the knitted fabric into a desired shape, an increase or a decrease is performed. Here, two methods are known as a method of forming an increase. One is a method of increasing the knitting width by forming a new stitch on an empty needle located outside the stitch at the end in the knitting width direction of the front knitted fabric portion or the rear knitted fabric portion (hereinafter referred to as the knitting width). It is called increasing outside). The other is to move a plurality of wale stitches at the knitting width direction end of the knitted fabric to the outside of the knitting width to generate empty needles in the knitting area of the knitted fabric, and form new stitches on these empty needles. This is a method of increasing the knitting width (hereinafter referred to as “inside increase”).

[0003] As a knitting method for performing external increase, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses. In the knitting method disclosed in Patent Document 1, two yarn feeders are moved in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed while shifting the time while knitting, and the knitted fabric is knitted into a cylindrical shape by double system knitting. Increasing outside.

[0004] Here, in the case of increasing outside, a new wale is formed at the end of the knitted fabric in the knitting width direction every time an additional stitch is formed, so the edge of the knitted fabric becomes uneven and the appearance is not very beautiful. . On the other hand, in the inner increase, new wales are formed at locations other than the edge of the knitted fabric, so that a series of wales appear at the edge of the knitted fabric, and the front and rear knitted fabric portions The wales sandwiching the boundary line are aligned in parallel.

[0005] However, in any of the above-described methods of forming the additional stitch, the stitch of the previous course is By feeding the empty needle that does not exist, an additional stitch is formed. Therefore, the newly formed stitches were pulled up by the stitches of the next course at the increased stitch formation location, and there was a problem that a large hole was generated at the increased stitch formation location and the appearance was poor.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the hole formation, the present applicant has proposed a method of forming an increase by increasing the number of holes formed at the formation of an increase in the eye (see Patent Document 2). In this method of forming additional stitches, first, of the first needle and the second needle that are arranged opposite to each other on the front and back needle beds, the stitch that is locked to the first needle is transferred to the second needle. While the yarn is fed to the first needle and transferred to the second needle, a new stitch is formed on the first needle. By forming a new stitch on the first needle, the stitch transferred to the second needle becomes an additional stitch. Then, by moving the needle bed laterally by racking, providing a blank needle next to the first needle, and then transferring the stitch transferred to the second needle to the blank needle, the first needle An additional stitch is formed on the side of the stitch locked to the needle. In this extra stitch formation method, extra stitches are formed using transfer between the needles provided on the front and rear different needle beds, and the first stitch is split into two to form extra stitches. (Hereinafter referred to as “additional discount”).

Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0008] When forming an additional stitch by increasing the split, the additional stitch is held by the stitch of the previous course, and is not pulled up by the stitch of the next course. Therefore, a knitted fabric having an increased number of stitches can be knitted with a very small opening, and a knitted fabric having a beautiful appearance can be provided.

[0009] However, when forming an additional stitch by increasing the split, the stitch that has already been formed is divided into two to form a new stitch. Therefore, when using a yarn that is prone to thread breakage and knitting at a small degree, Since it is smaller than the loop, it is difficult to perform knitting such as transfer, and there is a risk of missing eyes. In addition, if the eyes are too small, the strain on the yarn increases.

[0010] Therefore, the present invention is easy to knit, less burden on the yarn, and further, a method of forming an increased stitch that can make the hole formed at the increased stitch formation location inconspicuous, and the increased stitch knitted by the method It aims at providing the knitted fabric which has. Means for solving the problem

[001 1] The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention has at least a pair of front and back needle beds, at least one of the front and back needle beds can be racked left and right, and the stitches are transferred between the front and back needle beds. A method of forming an increase in the inner side of the end of the knitted fabric in the knitting width direction using a possible flat knitting machine, characterized by forming an increase in the following steps.

A step of transferring the stitches already locked to the knitting needles forming the increased stitches to the empty needles of the opposing needle bed, and using the knitting needles forming the increased stitches as empty needles a.

The next course is knitted from one end of the knitting region to the other end in the needle bed having the knitting needles forming the additional stitches that are empty needles, and the knitting needles that form the additional stitches are formed in the knitting needle hooks during the knitting. Step b for performing empty needle knit for locking the knitting yarn, among the stitches knitted in step b, the stitches locked to the needles on the knitting needle side adjacent to one of the knitting needles forming the increased stitches are opposed to each other. Step c, transferring to the empty needle in the needle bed

After the needle bed is racked so that the stitch transferred in Step C is separated from the stitch that has been knitted with an empty needle, the stitch bed transferred in Step a and the stitch transferred in Step c face each other. Step d.

[0013] In the method for forming an additional stitch according to the present invention, the stitch transferred in step d is transferred in step a after step d of the method for forming the additional stitch described above. It is preferable to perform at least one step of knitting the next course from one end of the knitting region to the other end while making a mistake with the knitting needles on which the stitches are locked. [0014] The method for forming an additional stitch according to the present invention is also provided between one end of the knitting region and the other end continuously between the stitches of the empty needle knit knitted in step b between step b and step c. It is preferable to organize the program so that the next course is organized.

[0015] In the method for forming an additional stitch according to the present invention, the above-described flat knitting machine is further provided with a first yarn feeder and a second yarn feeder, and a double system knitting is performed using these two yarn feeders. This can also be applied to the case where an additional stitch is formed on the inner side of the knitted fabric in the knitting width direction. When performing double system knitting, it is preferable to knit the knitted fabric in a cylindrical shape.

By the way, when the knitted fabric is knitted by double system knitting, as shown in FIG. 9, the second yarn feeder 5 is provided on the front side when viewed from the front side of the knitting machine, and the preceding first When the single yarn feeder 6 is provided on the back side and knitted into a cylindrical shape, there is a problem in that two knitting yarns intersect at one end in the knitting width direction which is the reverse position of the yarn feeder in the traveling direction. At the intersection of the knitting yarn, the knitting yarn is pulled by the surrounding stitches, and a hole g as shown in FIG. 10 is generated at the boundary X between the front and rear knitted fabric portions. In Patent Document 1, knitting is performed so that the holes at the intersecting portions are not easily noticeable, but the holes are not easily noticeable, and the holes are still formed in the knitted fabric.

[0017] Therefore, the method of forming an additional stitch according to the present invention is such that when the additional stitch is formed while knitting the knitted fabric in a tubular shape by double system knitting, the front and rear knitted fabric portions are arranged before and after It is preferable to form a boundary wall as a boundary. This boundary wheel is formed by continuously forming the stitches while twisting the stitches and winding the yarns different from the yarns forming the twisted stitches around the twisted stitches. No holes are formed at the intersections.

[0018] The knitted fabric in which the crease is formed on the inner side of the knitting width direction end of the knitted fabric by the above method faces the stitch that is already locked to the knitting needle to form the crease. When the knitting needles to be formed into the additional stitches are left empty by depositing them in the needle bed, the stitches are formed by locking the knitting yarn in the hooks of the empty needles. In addition, the knitted fabric formed by the above method has There is a stitch that has been deposited on the opposing needle bed that is hidden between adjacent stitches, and a new stitch that is continuous with the hidden stitch is formed.

[0019] It is preferable that the knitted fabric in which the increased stitches are formed on the inner side of the knitting width direction end portion of the knitted fabric of the present invention is a tubular knitted fabric.

The invention's effect

[0020] According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, in a state in which the stitches are formed in advance on the knitting needles forming the additional stitches, the stitches are transferred to the opposing needle bed, and the transfer is performed. After forming the increased stitch on the knitting needle that has become the empty needle, the transferred stitch is returned to the next to the increased stitch. As a result, even if a hole is formed by the additional stitch, a part of the hole is blocked by the stitch returned by this transfer, and this occurs at the portion where the additional stitch is formed. The hole to be made can be made inconspicuous.

[0021] In the case of forming the additional stitches by the method of the present invention, the stitches that have already been formed are not divided into two to form the additional stitches. However, even when knitting at a small degree, the additional stitches can be knitted easily and the burden on the yarn is small.

[0022] In the knitting subsequent to step d, by knitting the next course from one end to the other end of the knitting region while making a mistake in the knitting needle to which the stitch transferred in step a described above is locked. The new stitch that follows the stitch transferred in step a will be formed in the course following the course that forms the mistake. With the newly formed stitch, the stitch transferred in step a is pulled up, and the holes generated at the additional stitch forming portion can be made less noticeable.

[0023] Further, by forming the next course continuously after the empty needle knit between the above-described step b and step c, a new stitch continuous to the stitch transferred in step a is formed. When this occurs, the stitch transferred in this step a is pulled up, making it possible to make the holes generated at the formation of the additional stitch more inconspicuous. [0024] In addition, the method of forming an additional stitch according to the present invention is such that, when the additional stitch is formed while performing knitting with a double system, two carriages are knitted while a carriage equipped with a plurality of knitting systems travels one course. Transfer is possible. As a result, productivity can be improved while easily forming the widened area so as not to generate a large hole at the area where the increased line is formed.

[0025] In the case of double system knitting, the knitted fabric is knitted into a cylindrical shape, so that productivity is improved. Moreover, when knitting in a cylindrical shape with double system knitting, a boundary wale that forms the front-rear boundary of the front knitted fabric portion and the rear knitted fabric portion is formed, and this boundary wale is twisted while the twisted stitch. If the knitting yarn is wound around a twisted yarn that is different from the knitting yarn that forms the knitting yarn, this boundary wale prevents the hole that has been generated conventionally from becoming vacant. In addition, the twist stitches and winding of the knitting yarn can give the appearance of sewing stitches, making it possible to produce a knitted fabric that is superior in design.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment has a pair of front and rear needle beds that extend in the left-right direction and face each other in the front-rear direction, the rear needle bed can be racked left and right, and the stitch transfer between the front and back needle beds is The knitted fabric is knitted using the possible four-bed flat knitting machine.

[0027] In knitting the knitted fabric, it is also possible to use a two-bed flat knitting machine including a front needle bed and a rear needle bed. When knitting a knitted fabric using a two-bed flat knitting machine, the knitted fabric is knitted with every other empty needle. In addition, when using a two-bed flat knitting machine, a knitted fabric may be knitted by providing a transfer jack bed in which transfer jacks are arranged on one or both upper and lower needle beds. Good.

[0028] The four-bed flat weft knitting machine has an upper front needle bed and an upper rear, in which a large number of knitting needles are arranged on the lower front needle bed and the lower rear needle bed in the same pitch as the lower needle bed. It has a needle bed. Hereinafter, the lower front needle bed is simply called FD, the lower rear needle bed is called BD, the upper front needle bed is called FU, and the upper rear needle bed is called BU. [0029] In this embodiment, the front body and the front knitted fabric portion of the left and right sleeves are knitted with the FD of the flat knitting machine of four beds, and the back body and the rear knitted fabric portion of the left and right sleeves are formed with BD. Are organized. The BU needle is used to transfer the stitches on the front body and the front knitted fabric of the sleeve. The FU needle is used to transfer the stitches in the back body and the back knitted fabric of the sleeve.

[0030] By using the above-mentioned F U and B U, it is possible to knitting a textured pattern in which front and back stitches such as lynx, garter, and rib are mixed, wrapping the stitches, and superimposing stitches.

[0031] The flat knitting machine used in the present embodiment further includes a second yarn feeder provided slidably on a guide rail (not shown) positioned on the front side (front side) when viewed from the front side of the knitting machine. 5 and a first yarn feeder 6 slidably provided on a guide rail located on the back side (rear side).

[0032] In the flat knitting machine that performs the double system knitting according to the present embodiment, the cam system S 2 and the cam system S 3 that move on the needle bed and are used for knitting, and the force system S 1 and the cam system that are used for transfer. A carriage with S4 is installed. Hereinafter, cam system S1, cam system S2, cam system S3, and cam system S4 are simply referred to as S1, S2, S3, and S4. In the knitting process, the cam system from the leading side in the traveling direction of the carriage is always S1, S2, S3, S4.

[0033] During the one-time forward or backward movement of the carriage by these cam systems, knitting with the knitting yarn fed from the preceding first yarn feeder 6 and feeding from the subsequent second yarn feeder 5 are performed. Double system knitting is performed to perform knitting with knitting yarns to be transferred and transfer.

As shown in FIG. 8, a sweater 1 knitted in the present embodiment is a center 1 of a round neck long sleeve, and has a body 2, a right sleeve 3, and a left sleeve 4. In this sweater 1, the body 2 is knitted continuously in the front and back, and the left and right sleeves 3 and 4 are also knitted in the cylinder, and then the body 2 and the sleeves 3 and 4 are joined at the joint. The body 2 and the sleeves 3 and 4 are knitted and joined to form one continuous cylinder. In this embodiment, the body and the terms representing the left and right of the sleeve, for example, the right and left of the right sleeve 3 and the left sleeve 4 are the sweater 1 It is based on the wearer in the state of wearing.

[0035] The left and right sleeves 3 and 4 are usually knitted in a tubular shape while gradually increasing the knitting width from the cuff side. In order to widen the knitting width, in the present embodiment, the front and back knitted fabrics on the front knitted fabric portion of the sleeves 3 and 4 and the back knitted fabric portion adjacent to the body 2 in the knitting width direction. Form additional stitches on the inner side of the 4th to 5th stitches from the front and back boundaries of the section.

[0036] Depending on the shape of the knitted fabric to be knitted, this additional stitch is formed by one stitch every two courses, or by one stitch every four courses. Or each time six courses are formed, one additional stitch is formed.

[0037] The sweater 1 of the present embodiment has a back body of the body 2, a back knitted fabric portion of the right sleeve 3 and the left sleeve 4 is mainly knitted using BD in a full needle state without providing empty needles. It is done. The front body of body 2 and the front knitted fabric part of right sleeve 3 and left sleeve 4 are knitted mainly using FD in a full needle state without providing empty needles.

[0038] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the method for forming an additional stitch according to the present invention will be described with reference to the loop diagram of Fig. 1 and the knitting process diagrams of Figs. In the present embodiment, the knitting performed by the left and right sleeves 3 and 4 is the same as the knitting method except that the knitting method is reversed. Therefore, in the embodiment shown below, the knitting method is increased to the right sleeve 3. Only the organization when forming is described.

[0039] For convenience of explanation, the knitting structure of the body 2 and the sleeves 3 and 4 in the sweater 1 is plain knitted, and the hem of the body 2 and the cuffs of the sleeves 3 and 4 are ribbed.

[0040] The knitted fabric loop diagram shown in Fig. 1 shows a state in which an increased stitch is formed in the front knitted fabric portion of the right sleeve 3. The alphabets H to K shown in Fig. 1 indicate the BD hands. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a process chart in which an increased stitch is formed from a state in which a right sleeve 3 is knitted into a tubular shape by flat knitting.

[0041] In the knitting process diagrams shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the knitting process diagram (FIG. 6) for knitting the boundary wale, which will be described later, for the convenience of explanation, the number of stitches on the right sleeve 3 is the actual knitting. The number used is less than the number used. The alphabets A to R shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 indicate the FD, BD, FU, and BU needles that face each other. In the knitting process diagram of FIG. 6, FU and BU are omitted. More In addition, the uppercase alphabets in the knitted fabric loop diagram correspond to the alphabets shown in the knitting process diagram. In Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 6, the leftmost number indicates the knitting block number.

[0042] In each knitting block in Figs. 2 and 3, the arrow in the rightmost column indicates the racking direction of the rear needle bed, and the number of pitches is indicated below the arrow. In addition, the arrow in the column adjacent to the left of the rightmost column indicates the knitting direction. In each knitting block in FIG. 6, the arrow in the rightmost column indicates the knitting direction.

Step S shown in FIG. 2 shows a state before the formation of the additional stitch is started at the stage during the knitting of the right sleeve 3. Further, in step S, “the stitches are locked from 0 to 8 needles C to N and the right sleeve 3 is knitted into a cylindrical shape.

[0044] The stitch locked to FD is the stitch of the front knitted fabric portion of the right sleeve 3, and the stitch locked to BD is the stitch of the rear knitted fabric portion of the right sleeve 3.

In the knitting block 1 in FIG. 2, the carriage is moved to the left, and first, the yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to the FD, and the front knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S 2. Next, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to the FD, and the next course is knitted continuously in the stitch knitted by S 2 in the subsequent S 3. Finally, in S 4, among the stitches of the rear knitted fabric part that has already been knitted, the stitches locked to the BD needle J are transferred to the opposing F needle J. By this transfer, the needle J of BD becomes an empty needle.

[0046] In the next knitting block 2, first, yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to BD, and the rear knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S2. At this time, since the needle J of BD is an empty needle, the knitting yarn is locked in the hook of the empty needle and the empty needle is knitted. Next, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to BD, and the next course is knitted continuously in the subsequent knitting in S 3 in S 3. Finally, by S4, among the stitches of the rear knitted fabric knitted in S3, 80 needles, four stitches locked to L, M, N, FU needles K, Transfer to L, M, N.

[0047] In the next knitting block 3, after racking the back needle bed 1 pitch to the left, The first stitch S 1 is transferred to the BD needles K, L, M, N, and O that face the five stitches locked to the needles J, K, L, Μ, and の of the FU. By this transfer, the stitch transferred to the FU needle J by S4 of the knitting block 1 is locked to the needle K adjacent to the BD needle J where the blank needle has been knitted. As a result, additional stitches are formed in the rear knitted fabric portion. Further, in S 1 of the knitting block 3, “transfer to the BU needle J facing the stitch of the front knitted fabric portion locked to the stitch needle 1”.

[0048] Similarly, in knitting block 3, yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to the FD, and in the next S2, the front knitted fabric portion is knitted for one course. At this time, since the needle I of the FD is an empty needle, the knitting yarn is locked in the hook of the empty needle to perform the empty needle knit. Next, yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to the FD, and in the subsequent S3, the next course is knitted continuously with the stitch knitted by S2. Finally, by S4, among the stitches of the front knitted fabric part knitted in S3, four stitches that are locked to the “stitch needle”, K, L, M, N are opposed to the BU needle K. , L, M, N, O

[0049] In the next knitting block 4 (see Fig. 3), after the rear needle bed is pitched to the right by 1 pitch, first, the preceding S 1 will give 8 stitches ", K, L, M, N, Transfer the six stitches locked to O to the opposing FD needles J, K, L, M, N, and O. By this transfer, the stitch transferred to BU needle J by S 1 of knitting block 3 is locked to needle J adjacent to FD needle I where the empty needle has been knitted. An additional stitch is formed in the front knitted fabric portion.

[0050] Similarly, in the knitting block 4, yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to the BD, and in the next S2, the rear knitted fabric portion is knitted one course. At this time, BD hand K makes a mistake. Next, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to the BD, and in the subsequent S3, the next course is knitted one course following the stitch knitted in S2. At this time, BD needle K makes a mistake. Due to these mistakes, the stitches remain in the BD needle K.

[0051] In the next knitting block 5, first, the FD is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 and the front knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S2. At this time, FD needle J makes a mistake. Next, feed the FD from the second yarn feeder 5 and follow S3. Continuing the next course, the next course is organized. Again, FD needle J makes a mistake. Due to these mistakes, the stitches remain locked to the needle J of the FD.

[0052] In the next knitting block 6, first, yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to BD, and the rear knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S2. Next, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to BD, and the next course is knitted continuously in the succeeding S 3 in the stitch knitted by S 2.

[0053] In the next knitting block 7, first, the yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to the FD, and the front knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S2. Next, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to the FD, and the next course is knitted continuously in the stitch knitted by S 2 in the subsequent S 3.

[0054] By knitting the knitted fabric as described above, an additional stitch as shown in Fig. 1 can be formed at a location where an increased stitch is formed near one end in the knitting width direction of the tubular knitted fabric. In this embodiment, the stitches already locked to the knitting needles to form the additional stitches are stored in the opposing needle bed. Next, even if a hole is formed in the area where the extra stitch is formed as a result of the extra stitch being formed by knitting the extra needle forming knitting needle which has become an empty needle, the opposing needle bed is closed so as to close the hole. The stored stitch is returned to the original needle bed so as to be hidden between this additional stitch and the stitch adjacent to this additional stitch. Then, by forming a new stitch continuously with the submerged stitch, the submerged stitch is pulled up by the new stitch, and the hole at the portion where the additional stitch is formed becomes smaller.

[0055] In this embodiment, after making a mistake twice, a new stitch that is continuous between the additional stitch and the stitch adjacent to the additional stitch is formed. is doing. For this reason, a course on which five courses are formed from a course on which the submerged stitch is knitted is located in a state where the submerged stitch is positioned on the same course as the course on the fourth course from the course on which the submerged stitch is knitted. Is done. As a result, this submerged stitch is strongly lifted by a new stitch on the fifth course following this stitch. As a result, it is possible to make the holes at the positions where the additional eyes are formed less noticeable. The loop diagram in Fig. 1 is formed with long stitches that are hidden to make it easier to separate the knitting state, but in reality, the hidden stitches are small like the image of the knitted fabric shown in Fig. 7. It is summer.

[0056] Thus, in this embodiment, the double stitches are formed while the double stitches are formed, so two courses can be knitted and transferred while the carriage travels one course. As a result, not only can the knitted fabric be formed so as not to generate a large hole at the additional stitch formation site, it is not necessary to run the carriage only for transfer, and the productivity of the knitted fabric can be improved.

[0057] In this embodiment, knitting is performed using double yarn knitting by double system knitting. However, when the yarn is fed from only one yarn feeder and knitted into a tubular shape, the knitting is similarly increased. In addition to forming the stitches, it is possible to perform knitting that misses on the stitches to reduce the holes formed by the additional stitches. Furthermore, although this mistake was performed twice in this embodiment, the mistake may be performed only once or may not be performed. Whether to make a mistake in this way, and how many mistakes to make when making a mistake, should be determined by the type and material of the knitting yarn to be used. For example, if the knitting yarn is elastic, it is not necessary to make a mistake. If the knitting yarn has a small stretch, increase the number of mistakes and pull the stitch strongly at the upper stitch far from the hidden stitch.

By the way, when a knitted fabric is knitted by double system knitting, both yarn feeders knive the tubular knitted fabric by feeding the needles in the front and rear needle beds in an annular shape. As a result, the knitting yarn fed from the preceding yarn feeder crosses the knitting yarn fed from the succeeding yarn feeder on the one end of the knitting width direction which is the reversal position of the yarn feeder in the traveling direction. As shown in FIG. 10, a hole g is formed in the boundary portion X between the front and rear knitted fabric portions.

[0059] Therefore, in the present embodiment, when forming an increased stitch while knitting in a cylindrical shape by double system knitting, the front knitted fabric portion and the rear knitted fabric portion of the tubular knitted fabric are formed at the front and rear boundary portions. , Form a boundary wall that becomes the front and rear boundary. The boundary wall is formed by forming a stitch while twisting and winding a knitting yarn different from the knitting yarn forming the twisted stitch around the twisted stitch. [0060] The boundary wale knitting method will be described with reference to Figs.

. FIG. 4 shows a knitted fabric loop diagram on the body side, that is, the inner side of the sleeve, of the boundary portion between the front knitted fabric portion FF and the rear knitted fabric portion BF of the right sleeve 3. In this embodiment, the body side boundary portion of the right sleeve 3 is the side where two knitting yarns intersect in double system knitting. FIG. 5 shows a knitted fabric loop diagram on the opposite side of the body, that is, on the outer side of the sleeve, at the boundary between the front knitted fabric portion FF and the rear knitted fabric portion BF of the right sleeve 3. Fig. 6 shows the knitting process diagram for knitting a boundary wall.

[0061] Alphabets L to N and B to D shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 indicate FD and BD hands. 4 and 5 indicate the boundary line between the front knitted fabric portion F F and the rear knitted fabric portion B F.

Step S shown in FIG. 6 is a stage in the middle of knitting of the right sleeve 3, “The stitches are locked from the needles 0 to N of the 0 and 8 stitches, and the right sleeve 3 is knitted into a cylindrical shape. In this knitting process diagram, the formation of the additional stitches is omitted in order to distinguish the formation method of the additional stitches from the formation method of the boundary wall. The stitch of the front knitted fabric portion FF of the right sleeve 3 is the stitch of the rear knitted fabric portion BF of the right sleeve 3 and the stitch locked to the BD.

[0063] In the knitting block 1 of FIG. 6, the carriage moves to the left. First, the FD is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to the FD, and the front knitted fabric portion FF is knitted one course at the preceding S2. . Next, the FD is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to the FD, and the next course is knitted continuously in the subsequent S 3 in the stitch knitted in S 2. In S3, the stitches at both ends in the knitting width direction form stitches one by one more than the number of stitches fed from the first yarn feeder 6 by S2 and knitted. That is, stitches are formed on the needle B and needle O of the FD. Finally, among the stitches knitted at S3 of the front knitted fabric portion FF, the stitches that are locked to the needles O of the ridges are transferred to the BD needle O facing the BD, and the FD Needle B Transfers the stitches locked to BD needle B. At this time, the first yarn feeder 6 is located behind the second yarn feeder 5 in the stitch at the left end of Fig. 6. Therefore, when transferring to the BD needle B facing the stitch locked to the FD needle B, the knitting yarn fed from the second yarn feeder 5 is fed from the first yarn feeder 6. String It will be in a state of straddling the knitted yarn.

[0064] In the next knitting block 2, first, yarn is fed from the first yarn feeder 6 to B D and the rear knitted fabric portion is knitted one course at the preceding S2. At this time, the stitch transferred at S4 of the knitting block 1 is locked. The stitch B is not formed by the needle B of the BD, and the stitch is formed by the needle O of the BD. As a result of the knitting by S2, the stitches locked to the needle B of the BD are in a state in which the knitting yarn fed from the first yarn feeder 6 is wound (knitting yarn a shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 5). .

[0065] Then, in the knitting block 2, the yarn is fed from the second yarn feeder 5 to BD, and in the subsequent S3, the next course is knitted continuously with the stitch knitted by S2.

A stitch is formed on the needle B of BD, and a stitch is not formed on the needle O of BD. In the knitting by S 3, the stitch transferred to S 4 of the knitting block 1 and locked to the needle B of BD is twisted (the stitch b shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 5). Further, a stitch is formed with the same knitting yarn (knitting yarn fed from the second yarn feeder 5) at the needle B (the stitch c shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 5) following the twisted stitch.

[0066] Finally, in knitting block 2, the stitches of BD needle O knitted by feeding yarn from first yarn feeder 6 in S 2 are transferred to the opposing FD needle O by S 4 and S Transfer the stitches of the BD needle B, which is knitted by feeding the yarn from the second yarn feeder 5 in step 3, to the FD needle B that faces the stitch. By these transfers, the stitches locked to the needle B of the FD are twisted (the stitches c shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 5), and the stitches locked to the needle O are twisted. (The stitch e shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 4).

[0067] The next knitting block 3 performs the same knitting as the knitting block 1. Knitting block

From the relationship of 2, the state of the stitch formed at the end in the knitting width direction will be described. Feed the yarn from the first yarn feeder 6 to FD, and knitting the front knitted fabric portion FF in the preceding S2 for one course, but no stitches are formed on the needle O and needle B of FD. Therefore, a stitch is formed on the adjacent needle N from the stitch locked to the needle O formed by S2 of the knitting block 2. At this time, the knitting yarn fed from the second yarn feeder 5 is wound around the stitch locked by the needle O (knitting yarn d shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 4).

[0068] In S3 of the knitting block 3, the stitch knitted by being fed from the second yarn feeder 5 Of these, the stitch knitted with the FD needle O at the end in the knitting width direction is formed continuously with the stitch knitted with the knitting yarn fed from the first yarn feeder 6 and knitted with the needle B. The stitches are formed continuously with the stitches knitted with the yarns fed from the same second yarn feeder 5.

[0069] In S4 of the knitting block 3, transfer is made to the needle B and the needle O of the BD facing the stitch locked to the needle B and the needle O of the FD. At this time, the stitch locked to the needle O of BD is in a twisted state (stitch f shown in the loop diagram of FIG. 4).

[0070] By knitting the boundary wale in this way, the boundary wale is continuously knitted while twisting the stitch, and further, a knitting yarn different from the knitting yarn forming the twisted stitch is used. It will be in the state wound around the twisted stitch. As a result, this boundary wale eliminates the holes that were previously generated by double system knitting, and the twist stitches and the knitting yarn wrap around give it an appearance like a sewing stitch. Can also form an excellent knitted fabric. Further, the boundary wale stitches are twisted and other knitting yarns are wound around, so that the boundary portion of the knitted fabric can be made difficult to stretch.

[0071] Note that the loop diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 express the boundary wale stitches at positions corresponding to the needles for convenience of explanation, but when the stitches actually become stable, FIG. As shown in this image, the boundary wale stitch extends straight in the wale direction.

[0072] In the present embodiment, the right sleeve 3 is configured such that two knitting yarns intersect each other inside the sleeve. Therefore, the boundary wall of the present invention may not be formed on the outer side of the sleeve on the side where the yarn does not intersect by the conventional double system knitting, and the boundary wall may be formed only on the inner side of the sleeve.

[0073] Further, when performing double system knitting, in this embodiment, the yarn feeder for feeding two knitting yarns is provided with the second yarn feeder 5 on the front side and the first yarn feeder 6 on the back side. The first yarn feeder 6 was always put ahead. However, in the knitting method of the present invention, the first yarn feeder 6 on the back side is preceded on the forward path, and then the near side is set on the return path. This can also be applied when the second yarn feeder 5 is preceded. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to the case where four yarn feeders are arranged on separate guide rails and knitting with two yarns while switching the yarn feeders. It can also be applied when knitting and arranging. When such a yarn feeder is arranged, the manner of occurrence of yarn crossing is different from that of this embodiment. For example, yarn crossing occurs at the end opposite to this embodiment, or yarn ends at both ends in the knitting width direction. However, the method for forming a boundary wale according to the present invention can appropriately cope with different yarn crossing states.

Furthermore, when the knitting method of the present invention is performed by double system knitting, it can be applied not only to knitting a knitted fabric in a cylindrical shape but also to knitting a knitted fabric by molded knitting. The knitted fabric in which the increased stitches are formed inside the knitting width direction end of the knitted fabric of the present invention is not limited to a molded knitted fabric or a tubular knitted fabric knitted by double system knitting.

[0075] Of the stitches knitted one course so as to include the empty needle knit, the needle bed facing the stitch locked to the knitting needle on the knitting needle side adjacent to one of the knitting needles forming the additional stitch. The operation of transferring to the empty needle can be applied to increase the knitting width or to increase or decrease the knitting width and perform knitting while keeping the knitting width constant. For example, when increasing the knitting width, all the stitches locked to one knitting needle with respect to the knitting needles forming the additional stitches are transferred to the empty needles on the opposing needle bed. In addition, when knitting with a constant knitting width, it is only necessary to increase and decrease within the knitted fabric, and stitches that are locked between knitting needles that form a reduced stitch (multiple stitches) from a knitting needle that forms a larger stitch. Transfer and form a double eye.
