Cylindrical fabric knitting method, and cylindrical fabric

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for knitting a tubular shaped fabric which can smoothly change an all needle arrangement to a half gauge arrangement without causing yarn breakage or change in hand value, and a tubular shaped fabric itself. A glove 10 shown in (a) is knitted as a tubular shaped fabric by the use of a pair of opposing front and rear needle beds separated with a needle gap in-between. As shown in (b), a base fabric 11 of the glove 10 is basically knitted by knitting needles in the alle needle arrangement on front and rear needle beds. As shown in (c), in the course of knitting a needle arrangement changing portion (13) of (a), yarn feeding ports 15 and 16 are assigned to each needle bed in such a manner as to provide a empty needle between adjacent knitting needles in the all needle arrangement, and the knitting width is successively widened. By keeping the yarn feeding ports 15 and 16 such as yarn feeders, or the like in the vicinity of the place where the stitches are transferred, the knitting width can be smoothly widened and the knitting can be changed from the all needle arrangement to the half gauge arrangement. A wrist portion 12 shown in (a) can be knitted by a rib knitting structure as shown in (d) and (e).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of knitting tubular knitted goods using a flat knitting machine, and more particularly relates to a needle-extracting arrangement in which empty needles are provided between knitting needles within the knitting width from a total needle arrangement using knitting needles within a knitting width without empty needles The modified tubular knitted fabric knitting method and the tubular knitted fabric knitted by this method. Background technique [0002] Currently, if Figure 7 The basic knitwear of the glove 1 shown can basically be knitted in a plain knit weave with a total needle arrangement using knitting needles within the knitting width without empty needles. In the flat knitting machine, the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds facing each other across the needle bed receiving the supply of the knitting thread are used for knitting with only the front stitches. A tubular knitted fabric can be ...

Problems solved by technology

However, as a basic knitwear, only knitwear with a rough texture equivalent to about half the specification of the needle pitch equivalent specification can be knitted.
