Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for knitting and regenerating old clothes, in particular to a method for knitting and regenerating old T-shirts based on the principle of split knitting. Background Art

[0002] In the 2020s, sustainable fashion is experiencing explosive growth, and the concept of sustainable development has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It has been shown as a major development trend in the field of clothing design. The design method of recycling old clothes is a choice for building a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society. It is a way to realize the concept of sustainability in clothing design and has always been adopted by major brands and designers. Whether it is a company, brand or individual, they need to show their sustainable awareness and responsibility to the society in the best way they can. Establish the image of responsible producers and consumers and make green contributions to society. Based on people's continued attention to the recycling of old clothes, it is very necessary to explore new recycling methods.

[0003] At present, the treatment methods for old clothes at home and abroad are mainly divided into the following three categories: donation, transformation, and recycling. There are dozens of methods for transformation, such as splicing, crushing, tassels, embroidery, etc. However, these methods of regenerating old clothes face a problem, that is, they cannot take into account practicality, mass production and fashion sense at the same time. At present, the research on such transformation methods that can be both large-scale and personalized at home and abroad is not perfect.

[0004] The existing process of redesigning old clothes has problems such as difficult operation, high production cost, small creative space, and poor effect. The main reason why these problems cannot be effectively solved is that the method of secondary transformation of ready-made clothes not only depends on the style and material of old clothes, but also on the aesthetics and ability of the transformation designer, while the method of breaking them into non-woven fabrics or yarns cannot meet the requirements of comfort and durability. Therefore, the traditional transformation method has a relatively small innovation space and is affected by many factors, so that the technical problems of secondary transformation of clothing have not been effectively solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and to provide a method for knitting and recycling old T-shirts based on the principle of split weaving, which is easy to operate, has low production cost, large creative space and good finished product effect.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problem is: the transformation method of knitting and recycling old T-shirts based on the principle of split knitting method is characterized by the following steps: Step 1: Cut the pieces of the old T-shirt along the seam line and iron them flat. Remove the hemming part directly when cutting the pieces to improve efficiency while keeping the thickness of the strips uniform and increasing the stability of the strips. Step 2: After removing the collar and the hem, separate the garment into the front piece, the back piece, the left sleeve piece, and the right sleeve piece; Step 3: Cut the prepared garment pieces into strips by cutting back and forth; Step 4: Connect the cut cloth strips with a connecting thread. The material of the connecting thread is strong polyester wool or sewing thread. Overlap the two cloth strips and sew 2-3 stitches with the connecting thread. In this way, no big knot will be formed at the connection of the two cloth strips, and the connected cloth strips will not get stuck when passing through the sand nozzle of the knitting machine. Wind the connected cloth strips into a ball with a winder. Step 5, knitting / weaving the cloth strips in the ball of yarn to form a cloth piece; Step six: splice and combine the knitted / woven pieces of fabric to form a finished product.

[0007] Preferably, the back-and-forth cutting method in step three of the present invention refers to cutting horizontally from the bottom of the garment piece, and cutting back and forth upward from left to right in sequence, with an interval of 0.5 to 1 cm between two adjacent rows, and leaving the same amount at the end of each row of cutting without cutting, so as to form a continuous and uniform strip of cloth.

[0008] Preferably, the knitting / weaving in step 5 of the present invention uses the following process: Method 1: Use a knitting computer flat knitting machine to carry out thread hanging, padding, and valley wave weaving, and adjust the density based on the elasticity, thickness, and material of the cut fabric strips; Method 2: Use 5G\3G hand-cranked flat knitting machine for double-sided padding or single-sided hanging wire weaving; Method 3: Hand knitting using a crochet hook or knitting needle.

[0009] Preferably, during knitting / braiding in step five of the present invention, different wiring and patterns are combined to form the desired effect.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: after analyzing the fashion style and consumer demand of modern society, the present invention is determined to achieve the sustainable development requirements of the fashion industry and the task of harmonious nature and society, and takes T-shirts as the transformation object and combines the split weaving technique and knitting process to explore a new method of transforming old clothes. The present invention takes into account the characteristics of design sense, practical wearability, low difficulty of operation and high efficiency.

[0011] 1. The present invention has creatively explored and studied the method of recycling old clothes, using the principle of split weaving technology with less limitations, and in combination with elastic knitted tissue to innovate the method of transforming old clothes, explore innovative sustainable clothing paths, expand the applicability of the method of transforming old clothes, and combine fashion, scale and sustainability.

[0012] 2. The concept of knitted imitation crack weaving is proposed, and the knitting technology is combined with the crack weaving principle to conduct research and experiments, forming a new fabric texture and function, and supplementing the shortcomings and weaknesses of knitting technology in the transformation of old clothes.

[0013] 3. Promote the marketization of old clothes recycling. After the present invention is put on the market, it will break the limitations of existing old clothes transformation methods, develop new production and consumption models for old clothes recycling, and take a different approach to the development of sustainable fashion.

[0014] 4. It can reduce the waste of recycled raw materials from old clothes. Knitting can be directly woven into the desired clothing samples, while traditional weaving is a kind of shuttle weaving. The woven fabric is fixed by the wire harness and width of the loom to roll the cloth. Therefore, cutting is required when making clothes, resulting in secondary waste.

[0015] 5. It enables knitted imitation cracked fabrics to be mass-produced. Based on the support of knitting equipment currently on the market, the production rate and effect are more scalable than the production of traditional cracked fabrics.

[0016] 6. Knitted imitation cracked fabric is more elastic than woven fabric. Due to its special coil structure, knitted fabric is more comfortable than woven fabric and can be used in most clothing.

[0017] The present invention is not restricted by the style, material, color, etc. of old clothes. Most clothes can be transformed by this method, which is also more conducive to large-scale production. At the same time, the utilization rate of the transformed old clothes is also high. The products produced have high public acceptance, diverse effects and wide applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples. The following examples are intended to explain the present invention but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0031] Example

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 11 The steps of the transformation method of knitting and recycling old T-shirts based on the principle of split weaving in this embodiment are as follows.

[0033] Step 1: Taking a pure cotton T-shirt as an example, cut the pieces of the old T-shirt along the seams and iron them flat. When cutting the pieces, remove the hemming parts directly to improve efficiency while keeping the thickness of the fabric strips uniform and increasing the stability of the fabric strips.

[0034] Step 2: After removing the collar and edging, separate the garment into the front piece, back piece, left sleeve piece, and right sleeve piece.

[0035] Step three, cut the prepared garment pieces into strips by cutting back and forth; the back and forth cutting method refers to cutting horizontally from the bottom of the garment piece, and cutting back and forth from left to right in turn. The interval between two adjacent rows is 0.5 to 1 cm (depending on the elasticity of the old clothes, the greater the elasticity, the greater the interval, and vice versa). Leave the same amount at the end of each row of cutting without cutting, thus forming a continuous and uniform strip of cloth. The strips of cloth cut using this method have fewer joints, uniform thickness, are not easy to break, require less manual wiring work, have high cutting efficiency and reuse rate, and are convenient for subsequent machine weaving.

[0036] Step 4. Use connecting thread to connect the cut cloth strips. The material of the connecting thread is strong polyester wool or sewing thread. Overlap the two pieces of cloth strips head and tail, and sew 2 to 3 stitches with the connecting thread. In this way, no large knots will be formed at the connection between the two pieces of cloth strips, and the connected cloth strips will not get stuck when passing through the sand nozzle of the knitting machine. Use a winder to wind the connected cloth strips into a ball.

[0037] Step 5: Knit / weave the strips of cloth in the ball of yarn to form a piece of cloth. Knitting / weaving can use the following process methods: Method 1: Use a knitting computer flat knitting machine to knit with hanging thread, padding, valley wave and other processes, and adjust the density according to the elasticity, thickness, material, etc. of the cut strips of cloth; Method 2: Use a 5G\3G hand-cranked flat knitting machine to knit double-sided padding or single-sided hanging thread, etc.; Method 3: Use a crochet hook or knitting needle for manual knitting. When knitting / weaving, combine different wiring and patterns to form the desired different effects.

[0038] Step 6: splice and combine the knitted / woven fabric pieces to form a finished product. This method can be applied to various types of clothing and home furnishing products.

[0039] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above by way of embodiments, it is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications made by any technician familiar with the technology without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
