Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of textile technology, and more particularly to a woven fabric, shoe upper, and footwear product. Background Technology
[0002] Flyknit technology, as an advanced one-piece knitting technique, has been widely used in footwear, apparel, and other fields. By controlling the yarn direction through programming, it can achieve complex one-piece molding structures, effectively improving production efficiency and product consistency.
[0003] However, existing flyknitting technology still faces significant technical bottlenecks in achieving products with both complex openwork and highly supportive structures. Specifically, conventional reinforcing structures such as winding and binding typically rely on dense coil stacking or additional backing yarns. These structures perform well in solid areas but are difficult to build effectively in openwork areas. When it is necessary to form an openwork structure, due to the lack of support from the underlying fabric, existing automated flyknitting equipment struggles to stably complete the actions of yarn looping, winding, and transfer, leading to easy yarn unraveling and the inability to form the intended and stable three-dimensional winding structure.
[0004] Therefore, most products with winding structures within openwork areas currently rely on manual weaving by skilled workers or auxiliary processes such as post-sewing. This manual operation method is not only inefficient and results in high labor costs, but more seriously, the quality of the finished product is highly dependent on the individual skills of the operators. This makes it difficult to guarantee the consistency of product structure, winding density, and mechanical properties, and fails to meet the stringent requirements of modern, large-scale industrial production for product quality uniformity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve one or more of the technical problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a woven fabric, shoe upper, and footwear product that solves the technical problems existing in the prior art such as the difficulty in automating and achieving a complex winding structure in the hollow area with high consistency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is as follows: In a first aspect, this application provides a woven fabric, which includes a main structure 100, at least one openwork area 200 disposed on the main structure 100, and a winding structure 300 disposed in the openwork area 200. The winding structure 300 is formed by intertwining pre-set braided materials.
[0007] This application's solution successfully solves the technical problem of existing flyweaving technology's inability to achieve complex three-dimensional structures in openwork areas without underlying support by directly forming an intertwined structure composed of pre-set weaving materials in the openwork area. It also reduces the manual weaving process and improves production efficiency.
[0008] In one specific embodiment, the winding structure 300 is formed in the hollow area 200 in the following manner: At least two of the preset braided materials are used to weave in the braiding space corresponding to the hollow area 200. During the weaving process, by controlling the padding position and looping direction of at least a portion of the preset braided materials, at least two of the preset braided materials are intertwined to form the winding structure 300.
[0009] In this embodiment, by precisely controlling the position and looping direction of at least two preset braided materials in the hollow area, specific interlacing, winding and interlocking between braided materials can be programmatically achieved in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space without bottom yarn support. This provides great design freedom, enabling not only simple mesh structures to be realized in the hollow area, but also complex, varied and precise three-dimensional winding patterns to be created, meeting the fine requirements of high-end products for aesthetics and functionality.
[0010] In one specific embodiment, the winding structure 300 includes a plurality of winding units 310, each winding unit 310 including a first coil 320 formed from at least one of the preset braiding materials and a second coil 330 formed from the remaining preset braiding materials, wherein the first coil 320 and the second coil 330 are interleaved and wound together to form the winding unit 310.
[0011] In this embodiment, by defining a winding unit composed of a first coil and a second coil interlaced and wound together, and constructing an overall winding structure based on this, structural stability is achieved, giving the woven fabric excellent mechanical properties and dynamic response, improving the modularity and programmability of the design, and ensuring product consistency and quality controllability.
[0012] In one specific embodiment, the needle-braided arc of the first coil 320 and the sinker arc of the second coil 330 are intertwined to form the winding unit 310; Alternatively, the needle-knitted arcs of the first coil 320 and the needle-knitted arcs of the second coil 330 are intertwined to form the winding unit 310.
[0013] In this embodiment, by limiting the first coil and the second coil to be interleaved at the needle arc-sinking arc or needle arc-needle arc level, the diversity of winding structures is realized at the micro level, and the deep structural interlocking between coils is achieved, which greatly improves the structural stability.
[0014] In one specific embodiment, the winding unit 310 includes one or more first coils 320 and one or more second coils 330.
[0015] In one specific embodiment, the winding structure 300 corresponding to different hollow areas 200 is different.
[0016] In one specific embodiment, the main structure 100 is provided with a plurality of connection points 400 near the hollow area 200, and the winding structure 300 is connected to the main structure 100 at the plurality of connection points 400.
[0017] In this embodiment, by setting multiple connection points at the interface between the main structure and the hollow area, a stable integration of the winding structure and the main skeleton is achieved.
[0018] In one specific embodiment, the winding intersection of the winding structure 300 is located within the hollow area 200, and the unwound portion of the winding structure 300 is connected at the connection point 400.
[0019] In one specific embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the preset braided material is larger than the cross-sectional area of the braided material used in the main structure 100.
[0020] In one specific embodiment, the preset weaving material is different from the weaving material used in the main structure 100.
[0021] Secondly, this application also provides a shoe upper, said shoe upper being prepared from a woven fabric as described in any of the first aspects; Alternatively, the upper may include a main structure, at least one openwork area on the main structure, and a winding structure in the openwork area, wherein the winding structure is formed by intertwining pre-prepared woven materials.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] As described in the background section, existing flyknitting technology suffers from technical problems such as the difficulty in automating and achieving highly consistent complex winding structures in open areas. To address one or more of these problems, this application proposes a new woven fabric, its weaving method, shoe upper, and footwear products. By directly forming a winding structure composed of pre-set woven materials intertwined in the open areas, it successfully solves the technical challenge of achieving complex three-dimensional structures in open sections without underlying support, while also reducing manual weaving processes and improving production efficiency. The winding structure in this application is not limited to intertwining; it can involve multiple windings within a single winding unit, or multiple winding units within a single open area can perform a single winding. Alternatively, the first winding unit can be a single winding, while the second winding unit can involve multiple windings (where multiple windings refer to the left or right coils not only winding once but performing more than one winding action).
[0028] The solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and various embodiments.
[0029] Example 1 To achieve the solution of this application, embodiments of this application provide a woven fabric formed based on flyknitting technology. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown, the woven fabric includes a main structure 100, openwork areas 200, and a winding structure 300. The main structure 100 is the foundation of the fabric, typically woven using a flyknitting machine through conventional knitting processes (e.g., loop forming, tucking, floats, etc.), forming the basic shape of the product, such as shoe uppers or garment pieces. The openwork areas 200 are one or more open areas without bottom yarn support, set on the main structure 100. The openwork areas 200 can be formed by programming the flyknitting machine to stop feeding the bottom yarn during knitting or through specific decrease-off and loop transfer techniques. Their shape, size, and distribution can be flexibly adjusted according to design requirements to achieve breathability, weight reduction, or decorative effects. The winding structure 300 is directly woven into the openwork areas 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the winding structure 300 is not added manually later, but rather during the weaving process. The flying knitting equipment controls the preset weaving material to move spatially within the hollow area 200, autonomously constructing a stable network, mesh, or rope structure through mutual winding, interlacing, knotting, or hooking, thus achieving integrated molding of the hollow and winding reinforcement functions. Compared to the traditional operation mode that relies on manual weaving later, this embodiment greatly improves production efficiency and automation, laying the foundation for large-scale standardized production of the product.
[0030] It is understood that flyknitting equipment, also known as computerized horizontal knitting machines, is an advanced textile machine that uses digital program control to weave yarn into complex fabrics in one piece. Its core working principle is: the two-dimensional or three-dimensional structural design of the product is pre-converted into a precise knitting program in the computer. During operation, precisely controlled needles move collaboratively on the machine head, guiding the yarn through basic actions such as loop formation, loop gathering, and float knitting. Through advanced functions such as color changing, loop shifting, and partial knitting, complete products with specific patterns, textures, densities, and even three-dimensional structures can be knitted in one go without cutting or sewing, such as athletic shoe uppers and garment pieces. It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the flyknitting equipment; any known flyknitting equipment can be applied to this application without departing from the inventive concept.
[0031] Understandably, since the winding structure 300 is completed by the flyknitting equipment according to a preset program, its winding path, density, and node strength are consistent, effectively eliminating the randomness and instability caused by manual operation. This ensures that the final product has highly consistent quality and reliable mechanical properties, enabling the winding structure 300 to provide uniform and predictable support, stability, or elastic recovery for the hollow area 200. Furthermore, the embodiments of this application allow for the free design of functional winding structures within any hollow area. For example, embedding the winding structure 300 in the arch hollow of an athletic shoe upper can provide dynamic stability; adding winding to the breathable mesh area of clothing can prevent excessive stretching. Simultaneously, the winding structure itself can also serve as a novel aesthetic element, enriching the visual depth of the product.
[0032] Further reference Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the main structure 100 has multiple connection points 400 near or around the edge of the hollow area 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the multiple connection points 400 are not independent components, but rather specific weaving structures or positions reserved in the weaving process for fixing and connecting yarns, such as weaving structures formed by dense loop weaving, overlocking, or specialized yarn clamping points. The unwound portion of the winding structure 300 is fixed and connected to the connection points 400 through precise control of the flying knitting equipment. Specifically, during the weaving process, the pre-set weaving material constituting the winding structure 300 starts from one of the connection points 400, crosses the hollow area 200, performs a pre-set winding movement in space, and finally fixes itself to another connection point 400, thereby forming a stable whole with the main structure 100.
[0033] In some specific embodiments, the unwound portions of the winding structure 300 include, but are not limited to, the starting end, ending end, or specific parts of the winding structure 300 during the process; the winding intersections of the winding structure 300 are the core nodes where the pre-set braided materials are intertwined, knotted, or interwoven. By setting the winding intersections of the winding structure 300 to be located inside the hollow area 200 rather than at the edge, the unwound linear portions of the winding structure 300, which act as connecting bridges, are responsible for transferring the stress generated by the internal winding intersections and anchoring it at the connection point 400. This "internal winding, edge anchoring" design can most effectively disperse the loads (such as tension and pressure) inside the hollow area through the winding intersections and efficiently transfer them to the surrounding, more robust main structure 100 via the linear connecting portions, ensuring that a stable, self-supporting mesh structure can be established in an open space without bottom yarn support.
[0034] It is understandable that the winding intersection of the aforementioned winding structure 300 is located within the hollow area 200, and the unwound portion of the winding structure 300 is connected at the connection point 400. This arrangement allows the winding structure 300 to function independently within the completely suspended hollow area 200 (such as providing an independent support net, elastic buffer, etc.), while simultaneously being perfectly integrated with the main structure 100 through the connection point 400. This achieves the goal of endowing specific local areas of the product with precise mechanical properties without compromising the continuity of the main structure.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, the winding structure 300 is integrally formed directly within the hollowed-out area 200 using fully automated fly-knitting programming and control technology. Specifically, firstly, when knitting to the hollowed-out area 200, the fly-knitting equipment introduces at least two pre-set knitting materials. At this time, the knitting area corresponding to the hollowed-out area 200 is an open knitting space without bottom yarn support. Subsequently, during the knitting process, the padding position and looping direction of at least some of the pre-set knitting materials are precisely controlled through programming. Specifically, the yarn guide and knitting needles of the fly-knitting equipment are precisely manipulated so that one of the pre-set knitting materials no longer forms a loop independently in the conventional way, but is regularly "paddled" at the position where another material is about to form a loop; simultaneously, by changing the hooking direction and movement trajectory of the knitting needles, these materials are forced to interweave, loop, and wrap around each other on the hook or between the knitting needles. This process is repeated in the dynamic weaving across the openwork area, allowing these pre-designed woven materials to combine with each other in space rather than with the base yarn, thereby directly constructing a stable mesh, rope, or custom patterned winding structure 300 within the openwork area 200.
[0036] The aforementioned winding structure 300 is formed by decomposing the complex action of "winding" into basic actions such as "yarn padding" and "loop formation" that can be precisely executed by the knitting equipment. This eliminates the need for any subsequent manual intervention, allowing the complex winding structure 300 to be directly generated within the open area 200. This achieves fully automated production from design to finished product and ensures product consistency. Furthermore, by controlling the yarn padding position and loop formation direction through programming, a wide variety of winding patterns (such as grids, spirals, and irregular meshes) can be precisely designed. Simultaneously, because the winding structure is formed by interlocking and hooking pre-set knitting materials, its nodes possess a mechanical interlocking effect similar to "knots." Compared to simple yarn stacking, this structure has higher node strength and overall stability, significantly enhancing its mechanical properties.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the winding structure 300 is basically composed of multiple repeating and / or varying winding units 310. These winding units 310, through combination and extension, form a macroscopic winding network covering the hollowed-out area 200. Specifically, further refer to... Figure 2 As shown, each winding unit 310 is a microscopic interlocking structure. It is formed by the interaction of at least two pre-designed braiding materials during the weaving process: at least one pre-designed braiding material forms a first coil 320 through specific padding and looping actions; simultaneously, the remaining pre-designed braiding materials (which may be another or several) correspondingly form a second coil 330. The first coil 320 and the second coil 330 do not exist in isolation, but rather interlock, interlock, or hook each other during the formation process. For example, the loop post of the first coil 320 can pass into the loop arc of the second coil 330, and vice versa, or the two can be interlocked in a more complex way. This mechanical interlocking at the unit level constitutes a stable winding unit 310. Multiple such winding units 310 are connected to each other through the continuity of the pre-designed braiding materials, ultimately constructing the entire lightweight, high-strength, and stable winding structure 300 within the openwork area 200.
[0038] A coil typically consists of three parts: a bob, a pin braid, and a sinker. The pin braid is the upper curved segment of the coil, the sinker is the lower curved segment, and the bob is the intermediate segment connecting the pin braid and the sinker. (See further details...) Figure 2 As shown, the first coil 320 includes a coil post 321, a needle arc 322, and a sinker arc (not shown), and the second coil 330 includes a coil post 331, a needle arc 332, and a sinker arc (not shown). In this embodiment, the winding unit 310 is formed based on the precise interlocking of specific parts between the coils (including but not limited to coil posts, needle arcs, or sinker arcs).
[0039] In some specific embodiments, the winding unit 310 is formed by the interlacing of the needle arc 321 of the first coil 320 and the sinker arc of the second coil 330. Specifically, by controlling the weaving action, the head of the first coil 320 (i.e., the needle arc 321) and the foot of the second coil 330 (i.e., the sinker arc) are interlocked and hooked together, forming a strong longitudinal connection point. This interlacing method is similar to establishing a tenon-and-mortise structure between the two coils, achieving a tight longitudinal interlock.
[0040] In other specific embodiments, the winding unit 310 is formed by the interlacing of the needle-knitted arcs 321 of the first coil 320 and the needle-knitted arcs 331 of the second coil 330. That is, the interaction between the first coil 320 and the second coil 330 at the head position (i.e., needle-knitted arcs 321 and 331) can be a lateral combination of adjacent coils within the same knitting row, or a longitudinal interlocking of coils from different knitting rows. This method can establish a concentrated node within the winding unit, effectively dispersing stress from multiple directions.
[0041] It should be noted that through the interlocking of "needle-knitted arcs-sinking arcs" or "needle-knitted arcs," the winding unit 310 forms a true three-dimensional mechanical interlock between the preset knitting materials. This structure far surpasses simple yarn juxtaposition or floating yarn stacking; its nodes possess extremely high anti-slip capability and structural stability, effectively resisting repeated stretching in multiple directions. It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, regardless of the implementation method of the winding unit 310, its core lies in controlling the padding yarn and loop trajectory of the preset knitting material, causing specific arc segments of different loops to mechanically interlock and overlap in space, thereby constructing a stable winding unit 310 at the microscopic level, and ultimately assembling into a macroscopic winding structure 300.
[0042] In this embodiment, the winding unit 310 exhibits high flexibility and scalability in its composition. Specifically, an independent winding unit 310 can be composed of a single first coil 320 and a second coil 330, or it can include one or more first coils 320 and one or more second coils 330. That is, a winding unit 310 can be a simple one-to-one pairing structure (i.e., one first coil 320 and one second coil 320 interleaved), or a more complex one-to-many (i.e., one first coil 320 and multiple second coils 320 interleaved, or multiple first coils 320 and one second coil 320 interleaved) or many-to-many (i.e., multiple first coils 320 and multiple second coils 320 interleaved) composite structure. For example, an independent winding unit 310 can be composed of two first coils 320 and one second coil 330, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, an independent winding unit 310 is composed of a first coil 320 and a second coil 330. Figure 3 As shown.
[0043] In this embodiment, the woven fabric may include one or more openwork areas 200. The winding structure 300 provided inside these openwork areas has a high degree of design flexibility, specifically, the winding structure 300 provided in different openwork areas 200 may be the same or different.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, the winding structure 300 corresponding to different hollow areas 200 is different, such as Figure 1 As shown, this demonstrates the deep customization capabilities of this application. The winding structure of each hollowed-out area can be independently designed and optimized according to the functional requirements (such as support, breathability, and elasticity) and aesthetic pursuits of its specific location, achieving differentiated customization and meeting the market's demand for personalized and high-performance products. For example, in the upper of sports shoes, a highly stable mesh may be needed at the arch, while a highly elastic mesh structure may be needed at the ankle.
[0045] In other specific embodiments, the winding structure 300 corresponding to different hollow areas 200 is the same, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this indicates that the woven fabric adopts a standardized, modular design. This is suitable for scenarios where all parts of the product have consistent performance requirements or where a serialized, repetitive aesthetic style is desired. When product consistency is required, using the same winding structure can significantly simplify programming, improve production efficiency and material management convenience, and reduce production costs, making it ideal for large-scale standardized production.
[0046] In some specific embodiments, the preset weaving material refers to a special yarn or fiber material that is pre-selected and programmed for directly forming the winding structure 300 within the hollowed-out area 200. In this application embodiment, the preset weaving material is not limited and can be selected according to actual product requirements. That is, the preset weaving material is not limited to a single material, but includes, but is not limited to: polymer multifilaments (such as high-strength polyester and nylon filaments, which can provide the main skeleton support), elastic materials (such as spandex core-spun yarn and TPU monofilaments, which can provide the necessary resilience and dynamic fit for the winding structure), functional fibers (such as moisture-wicking yarns, antibacterial yarns, phase change temperature-regulating fibers, etc., which can impart specific functions to certain areas), high-performance fibers (such as aramid, carbon fiber, and glass fiber filaments, which can be used in special fields requiring extremely high strength and modulus), monofilaments (polymer monofilaments with a certain stiffness, such as polyester monofilaments, which can effectively maintain the morphological stability of the winding structure and prevent collapse), and mixed materials (such as the above materials can be combined into a composite yarn or braided rope by plying, twisting, etc., to integrate multiple properties). During the weaving process, by independently and precisely controlling these pre-set weaving materials (rather than sharing the base yarn with the main structure), they are made to act as an independent system in the hollowed-out area, padding, forming loops and intertwining with each other, thereby constructing an intertwined structure that is both firmly integrated with the main structure and relatively independent in function.
[0047] In this embodiment, the pre-woven material constituting the winding structure 300 and the woven material constituting the main structure 100 are different in physical specifications and material. In some specific embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the pre-woven material is larger than that of the woven material used in the main structure 100. That is, the woven material used to construct the winding structure 300 is usually thicker and heavier. This design directly endows the pre-woven material with higher mechanical strength (tensile strength) and stiffness, enabling it to act as a load-bearing skeleton, independently constructing a stable and robust winding network in the hollow area 200 lacking base yarn support, effectively bearing and distributing external loads, preventing excessive deformation or tearing of the hollow area under stress, thereby ensuring that the entire woven fabric achieves lightweight breathability while fundamentally guaranteeing the mechanical properties of key parts. As an illustrative rather than restrictive illustration, the pre-woven material may be made of thicker materials such as braided ropes, while the woven material of the main structure 100 may be made of thinner materials such as yarns.
[0048] In some specific embodiments, the preset weaving material is different from the weaving material used in the main structure 100, thereby breaking the bottleneck of traditional woven fabrics whose performance is limited by a single material. The main structure 100 can typically use conventional fibers (such as cotton, ordinary polyester / nylon multifilament) that balance comfort, cost, and weavability, while the preset weaving material is selected independently according to the functional objectives of the winding structure 300. The two are combined through weaving technology to achieve multifunctional composite performance that cannot be achieved by a single material. For example, the main body uses soft yarn to ensure skin-friendliness, while the preset material can use high-modulus fibers (such as aramid, Vectran) to obtain ultra-high support, or use elastic fibers (such as spandex) to achieve dynamic stretching, etc.
[0049] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the at least two preset braided materials used in the same winding structure 300 can be the same braided material or different braided materials. No specific limitation is made here. In specific implementation, the choice can be made according to the product design requirements.
[0050] The following examples illustrate in detail the weaving process of the woven fabrics provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0051] Case 1 by Figure 2 The knitting structure shown includes 19 rows and 31 columns. The main structure uses polyester high-elastic yarn (including A and B) as the knitting material, and the winding structure uses pre-set winding yarn (including C and D, where yarn C is closer to the front needle bed and yarn D is closer to the back needle bed) as an example. Figure 5 As shown, the weaving process is as follows: Row 1: The C yarn is introduced into the knitting position by an empty needle, and the C yarn is fixed in place by a partial front and back loop, preparing for subsequent knitting (i.e., forming a winding structure).
[0052] Row 2: Yarn A is knitted with a full stitch face to form the main structure located on the left edge of the openwork structure. A full stitch face refers to the width of the knit. On a computerized flat knitting machine, needles are arranged in rows. A full stitch face means that all available needles in that row are engaged in the knitting process within this row.
[0053] Row 3: Yarn A is used as the base layer for a tight weave with a hanging stitch and spaced stitches. Yarn A is woven into the bottom layer using a hanging stitch technique to achieve a tight weave. Additionally, yarn A is used to create a weave structure with a one-stitch interval. This spaced stitch weave creates a mesh-like and elastic structure, which, when combined with the hanging stitch, creates structural variations and nodes.
[0054] Row 4: Move the C yarn to the empty needle kicking action in the left-hand knitted area to prevent the C yarn from stopping and affecting the B yarn knitting, ensuring that subsequent knitting (especially B yarn knitting) can proceed smoothly.
[0055] Row 5: The D yarn is introduced into the knitting position using an empty needle, and the D yarn is fixed in place with a partial front and back loop, preparing for subsequent knitting with the D yarn.
[0056] Row 6: Weave yarn B all over the needle surface to form the main structure located on the right edge of the openwork structure.
[0057] Row 7: The B yarn is used as the base layer for a tight weave with a hanging stitch and spaced stitches between the base and weave. This means the B yarn is used in the bottom layer with a hanging stitch, and also forms a weave structure with a one-stitch interval. This, combined with the hanging stitch, creates structural differences and nodes. Row 8: Knit 1 stitch on the left edge of yarn C, then knit a long loop to the right until row 29. Yarn C was originally close to the front needle bed, but it's looped on the back needle bed to bring the yarn closer to it. The long loop is to lower yarn C and prevent it from affecting the knitting of yarn D in the next row.
[0058] Row 9: Knit a loose stitch to the right with yarn D, and knit 1 stitch in row 22. That is, yarn D, which was originally close to the back needle bed, forms a loop on the front needle bed, which can block the knitting path of yarn C, thus creating a wrap.
[0059] Row 10: Knit the D yarn to the left with a blank stitch until row 11, then continue knitting the D yarn to the left with a blank stitch until row 3. (The D yarn returns from near the front needle bed to near the back needle bed. Knitting the D yarn after the loop is to lower the D yarn and avoid affecting the knitting of the C yarn in the next row.)
[0060] Row 11: Knit C with a skipped stitch to the left until row 9, then knit 1 stitch face stitch. That is, the C yarn is positioned near the back needle bed and forms a loop on the front needle bed, which can block the knitting path of the D yarn, thus creating a wrap.
[0061] Row 12: This involves unwinding the bottom loops of yarn D (column 11 of row 9) and yarn C (column 16 of row 7). The bottom loops are used to assist yarns C and D in winding; after unwinding, yarns C and D return to a movable state.
[0062] Row 13: Knit C with a loose stitch to the right until row 16.
[0063] Row 14: Knit D with a skipped stitch to the right until row 16. Moving yarns C and D to row 16 is to avoid interfering with the knitting action of yarn A.
[0064] Row 15: Knit the A yarn all the way through the needle surface, and continue to form the main structure on the left edge of the openwork structure.
[0065] Row 16: A yarn is used as the base for the tight hanging stitch and the base is knitted with spaced stitches.
[0066] Row 17: The empty needle kicking action brings the C and D yarns to the left of the already knitted area.
[0067] Row 18: Knit the B yarn all the way through the needle surface, and continue to form the main structure on the right edge of the openwork structure.
[0068] Row 19: Use B yarn as the base for the tight weave and the bottom weave with spaced stitches.
[0069] Case 2 by Figure 3 The knitting structure shown includes 29 rows and 33 columns. The main structure uses polyester high-elastic yarn (including A and B) as the knitting material, and the winding structure uses pre-set winding yarn (including C and D, where yarn C is closer to the front needle bed and yarn D is closer to the back needle bed) as an example. Figure 6 As shown, the weaving process is as follows: Row 1: The empty needle guide action of introducing C yarn into the knitting position.
[0070] Row 2: Yarn A is used for full needle surface knitting to form the main structure located on the left edge of the openwork structure.
[0071] Row 3: It is a tight weave with a bottom stitch and a spaced stitch weave with a bottom stitch, using yarn A as the base.
[0072] Row 4: Move the C yarn to the empty needle kicking action in the left-hand knitted area to prevent the C yarn from stopping and affecting the knitting of the D yarn.
[0073] Row 5: The D yarn is introduced into the knitting position using an empty needle, and the front and back stitches are fixed in place to prepare for subsequent knitting with the D yarn.
[0074] Row 6: Weave yarn B all over the needle surface to form the main structure located on the right edge of the openwork structure.
[0075] Row 7: Use B yarn as the base for the tight weave and the bottom weave with spaced stitches.
[0076] Row 8: Move the C and D yarns to the empty needle kick-off nozzle of the already woven area on the left side.
[0077] Row 9: Move yarn D to the left to perform a free needle floating motion until row 3.
[0078] Row 10: The C yarn moves to the left and is knitted in row 9. The C yarn, originally positioned close to the back needle bed, forms a loop on the front needle bed, which blocks the knitting path of the D yarn, thus creating a wrap.
[0079] Row 11: Move yarn C to the right as a freehand float, and knit the bottom row in row 17. Yarn C returns from near the front needle bed to near the back needle bed in a loop.
[0080] Row 12: Move yarn D to the right to perform a free needle floating motion until row 17.
[0081] Row 13: Knit the entire needle surface with yarn A, and continue to form the main structure on the left edge of the openwork structure.
[0082] Row 14: A yarn is used as the base for the tight hanging stitch and the base is knitted with spaced stitches.
[0083] Row 15: Move the yarn from C and D to the empty needle kick-off nozzle in the already knitted area on the left.
[0084] Row 16: Knit the B yarn all the way through the needle surface, and continue to form the main structure on the left edge of the openwork structure.
[0085] Row 17: Use B yarn as the base for the tight hanging stitch and the bottom for the spaced stitch knitting.
[0086] Row 18: Move the C yarn to the right to perform a free needle floating motion until row 31, so that the C yarn returns from the position near the front needle bed to the position near the back needle bed.
[0087] Row 19: Move the D yarn to the right to perform a free needle floating motion, and do the bottom knitting in row 25. After the D yarn is looped, knit it to fix it to the main structure on the right side.
[0088] Rows 20 and 21: This involves releasing the bottom loop of the D yarn from the 10th row. The bottom loop is used to assist the C yarn in completing the winding process; after releasing the loop, the C yarn returns to a movable state.
[0089] Row 22: Move yarn D to the left to perform a free needle floating motion until row 17.
[0090] Row 23: Move yarn C to the left to perform a free needle floating motion until row 17.
[0091] Row 24: The empty needle kicking action brings the C and D yarns to the right-hand knitted area.
[0092] Row 25: Knit the entire needle surface with yarn A, and continue to form the main structure on the left edge of the openwork structure.
[0093] Row 26: A yarn is used as the base for the tight hanging stitch and the base is knitted with spaced stitches.
[0094] Row 27: The empty needle kicking action of bringing yarns C and D to the right-hand knitted area.
[0095] Row 28: Knit the B yarn all the way through the needle surface, and continue to form the main structure on the right edge of the openwork structure.
[0096] Row 29: Use B yarn as the base for the tight weave and the bottom weave with spaced stitches.
