Abstract

A method of forming increases which ensures easy knitting, imposes a small burden on threads, and can make inconspicuous holes produced at increase formed portions; and a knitted fabric having increases. Increases are formed by the step a of transferring a stitch already locked to a knitting needle for forming an increase to an unused needle in an opposing needle bed to make empty the increase forming knitting needle, the step b of knitting the next course from one end to the other end of a knitting area in a needle bed provided with a knitting needle kept unused for forming an increase and performing unused needle knitting with a knitting needle for forming an increase during the course knitting, the step c of transferring to an unused needle in the opposing needle bed a stitch, out of stitches knitted in the step b, locked to a knitting needle on a knitting needle side adjacent to one of knitting needles for forming increases, and the step d of transferring the stitches transferred in step a and step c to unused needles in the opposing needle bed after racking a needle bed so that a stitch transferred in step c is separated from a stitch subjected to unused needle knitting.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for forming widening stitches inside end portions in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric when knitting a knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, and to a knitted fabric on which such widening stitches are formed. Background technique [0002] In the process of knitting a knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine, widening or narrowing is performed in order to knit the knitted fabric into a desired shape. Here, as a method of forming the widening stitch, two methods are known. One is a method of newly forming stitches on empty needles located outside the loops at the ends of the front or rear knitted fabric in the knitting width direction to increase the knitting width (hereinafter referred to as outer stitching). The other is a method in which stitches of a plurality of wales at ends in the knitting width direction of a knitted fabric are moved to the outside of the knitting width to gen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when knitting with a low stitch density using a yarn that is prone to breakage, the widening stitch is smaller than other stitches, so it is difficult to perform knitting such as stitch transfer, and there is a possibility that stitches may fall out.

In addition, the burden on the yarn becomes larger when the stitches become smaller
