Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a knitting method for a knitted fabric and a knitted fabric. [Background technology]

[0002] At least a part of a knitted fabric is knitted with a jacquard knitting method. Jacquard knitting forms a pattern on the knitted fabric using multiple knitting yarns of different colors or materials. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a knitting method for a tubular knitted fabric having a plain jacquard pattern.

[0003] The jacquard section includes a plurality of jacquard stitch rows that are continuous in the wale direction. Each jacquard stitch row is an assembly of a plurality of unit stitch rows knitted with different knitting yarns. Each unit stitch row includes at least one stitch that forms a pattern. The stitches of each unit stitch row are formed at different positions in the knitting width direction from the stitches of other unit stitch rows. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-46842 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Depending on the design of the pattern formed in the jacquard section, the floating yarn in each unit stitch row may become long. A floating yarn is a portion of the knitting yarn that makes up the unit stitch row, connecting two stitches that are aligned in the knitting width direction. In the jacquard section, the floating yarn is placed on the back side of the knitted fabric and extends along the knitting width direction of the unit stitch row. Therefore, if the floating yarn is long, there is a possibility that fingers or other objects may get caught in the floating yarn when wearing the knitted fabric. If fingers or other objects get caught in the floating yarn, it will be difficult to wear the knitted fabric and there is also a risk that the knitting yarn will break.

[0006] One object of the present invention is to provide a method for knitting a knitted fabric having a jacquard portion that is less likely to catch fingers, etc. when the knitted fabric is worn. Another object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric having a jacquard portion that is less likely to catch fingers, etc. when the knitted fabric is worn. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] <1> The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention comprises: A jacquard portion is knitted using a flat knitting machine including a first needle bed, a second needle bed facing the first needle bed, and a plurality of feeders that feed knitting yarns, the jacquard portion being composed of a plurality of jacquard stitch rows that are continuous in a wale direction; Each jacquard stitch row is composed of a plurality of unit stitch rows knitted with different knitting yarns, Each unit stitch row is a knitting method for a knitted fabric including stitches arranged in the knitting width direction, When knitting the jacquard portion, A step A of knitting a net portion by repeatedly forming tuck stitches in at least some of the stitches of the base stitch row held on the first needle bed and forming hanging stitches on the second needle bed; A process B of knitting at least one course of the jacquard stitch row that is continuous with the base stitch row in the wale direction; The stitches of the net portion held on the second needle bed are overlapped on the jacquard stitch row knitted last in step B, and step C is then repeated to define the last formed jacquard stitch row as a new base stitch row.

[0008] Here, the face stitch is a stitch that is pulled out from the old stitch from the back to the front when the knitted fabric is viewed from the outside. Also, a tuck stitch and a pick-up stitch are types of stitch.

[0009] <2> The above form <1> In the knitting method of the knitted fabric, The number of courses of the jacquard stitch row knitted in the step B may be one or two.

[0010] <3> The above form <1> or <2> In the knitting method of the knitted fabric, When knitting each of the plurality of unit stitch rows in the step B, a purl stitch is knitted continuously in the wale direction of some stitches of the net portion held on the second needle bed, In step C, a connecting stitch row may be knitted in the wale direction of the back stitches of the plurality of unit stitch rows using the feeder used to knit the net portion, and then the connecting stitch row may be overlapped on the last formed jacquard stitch row.

[0011] Here, the purl stitch refers to a stitch that is pulled out from the old stitch from the front to the back when the knitted fabric is viewed from the outside.

[0012] <4> The above form <1> from <3> In any one of the knitting methods of the knitted fabric, The knitting yarn used for knitting the net portion may be a knitting yarn that is less noticeable than the knitting yarn used for knitting the jacquard stitch row.

[0013] <5> The knitted fabric of the present invention is A jacquard portion is formed by a plurality of jacquard stitch rows that are continuous in the wale direction, Each jacquard stitch row is composed of a plurality of unit stitch rows knitted with different knitting yarns, Each unit stitch row is a knitted fabric including stitches arranged in the knitting width direction, The jacquard section includes a plurality of jacquard units, Each jacquard unit is at least one course of jacquard stitches; a net portion that covers, from a back side, a crossover yarn of at least a first jacquard stitch row among the at least one course of jacquard stitch rows, The net portion is connected to a base stitch row in which the jacquard stitch row of the first course continues in the wale direction, and to the jacquard stitch row of the final course of the at least one jacquard stitch row. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] In the knitting method for a knitted fabric of the present invention, a net portion is knitted before knitting the jacquard stitch rows that constitute the jacquard portion, and the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows are arranged on the net portion. Also, in the knitting method for a knitted fabric of the present invention, a net portion is connected to the jacquard stitch rows every few courses of the jacquard stitch rows, so that the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows are covered by the net portion from the back side of the knitted fabric. Therefore, according to the knitting method for a knitted fabric of the present invention, it is possible to knit a knitted fabric in which fingers and other parts of the body are less likely to get caught in the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows when the knitted fabric is worn.

[0015] the above <2> According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric described in the above, every time one or two courses of jacquard stitch rows are knitted, the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows are covered by a net portion from the back side of the knitted fabric. Therefore, the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows are even less likely to get caught on fingers, etc.

[0016] the above <3> According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric described in the above, a jacquard stitch row having a knit stitch and a purl stitch is knitted. The jacquard stitch row having a knit stitch and a purl stitch is easily stretchable in the knitting width direction. Therefore, the stretchability of the jacquard portion consisting of the jacquard stitch row is improved.

[0017] the above <4> According to the knitting method for the knitted fabric described in the above, an inconspicuous net portion can be knitted. Therefore, the net portion does not impair the pattern formed by the jacquard portion. The inconspicuous knitting yarn is, for example, a knitting yarn thinner than the knitting yarn constituting the jacquard stitch row, or a knitting yarn of the same color as the base stitch row. A transparent knitting yarn is also a type of inconspicuous knitting yarn.

[0018] In the knitted fabric of the present invention, the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows that make up the jacquard portion are covered by the net portion from the back side of the knitted fabric, so that fingers and other parts of the body are less likely to get caught in the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch rows when the knitted fabric is worn. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0019] [Figure 1]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sweater having a jacquard part according to a first embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a knitting process diagram showing the knitting procedure of the jacquard part according to the first embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a loop diagram of the jacquard part according to the first embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a knitting process diagram showing the knitting procedure of the jacquard part according to the second embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, a knitted fabric and a knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] <Embodiment 1> FIG. 1 shows a sweater, which is an example of a knitted fabric 1 having a jacquard portion 3 according to embodiment 1. The sweater has a body 10 with sleeves. The body 10 has a front body 10F and a back body 10B that are connected in a tubular shape. The body 10 is knitted from the hem toward the collar. Therefore, the wale direction of the body 10 is the direction indicated by the upward thick arrow in FIG. 1. Unlike this example, if the knitted fabric 1 has a form such as a poncho, the front body 10F and the back body 10B do not need to be connected in a tubular shape.

[0022] The knitted fabric 1 of this example has a jacquard section 3 in a part of the front body 10F. The jacquard section 3 is composed of a plurality of jacquard stitch rows 30 that are continuous in the wale direction. Each jacquard stitch row 30 is composed of a plurality of unit stitch rows made of different knitting yarns. Each unit stitch row is a stitch row knitted with a single knitting yarn. Each unit stitch row includes at least one stitch. When a unit stitch row includes a plurality of stitches, the plurality of stitches are arranged without overlapping in the knitting width direction. The stitches of each unit stitch row are formed at a different position in the knitting width direction from the stitches of other unit stitch rows. In other words, the stitches of one unit stitch row do not overlap with the stitches of other unit stitch rows in the knitting width direction. As shown in the knitting process diagram of Figure 2 described later, each jacquard stitch row 30 of this example is composed of four unit stitch rows. The number of unit stitch rows is not particularly limited as long as it is two or more.

[0023] An example of a knitting process for knitting a knitted fabric 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The flatbed knitting machine in this example is a four-bed flatbed knitting machine equipped with a lower front needle bed, a lower back needle bed, an upper front needle bed, and an upper back needle bed. The knitting needles provided on each needle bed may be latch needles or compound needles. Hereinafter, the lower front needle bed, the lower back needle bed, the upper front needle bed, and the upper back needle bed will be referred to as FD, BD, FU, and BU, respectively. FD and BD face each other. FU and BU face each other above FD and BD. FD and FU, and BD and BU are configured to be rackable relative to each other. Racking refers to the movement of the needle beds in the longitudinal direction of the needle beds. In this example, FD and FU are first needle beds, and BD and BU are second needle beds. Stitches can be transferred between FD and BD, between FD and BU, and between BD and FU. Unlike this example, the flatbed knitting machine used to knit the knitted fabric 1 may be a two-bed flatbed knitting machine.

[0024] Figure 2 is a knitting process diagram for knitting the jacquard section 3. In the left column of Figure 2, "S + number" indicates the knitting process number. The right column shows the knitting state in each knitting process. The black dots in the right column indicate knitting needles. Capital letters outside the margin indicate the position of the knitting needles. The circle marks, diamond marks, pentagon marks, and hexagon marks in the right column indicate stitches. The V mark indicates a hook stitch or a tuck stitch, and the double circle mark indicates a double stitch. The inverted triangle marks indicate feeders 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 that supply knitting yarn. The parts knitted in each knitting process are shown with thick lines, and the stitches knitted in each process are shown filled in.

[0025] Step S0 shows the state in which the front body 10F and the back body 10B are held together immediately before knitting the jacquard section 3 in Figure 1. The front body 10F and the back body 10B are knitted in an all-needle state. An all-needle state means that no empty needles are placed between adjacent stitches. In this step S0, the stitches held together in the FD are some of the stitches of the front body 10F, and the stitches held together in the BD are some of the stitches of the back body 10B. In this example, the stitches of the front body 10F held together in the FD are defined as base stitch row 2, and knitting of the jacquard section 3 begins.

[0026] In step S1, the net portion 4 is knitted by alternately repeating the formation of tuck stitches 40 in at least some of the stitches in the base stitch row 2 and the formation of pick-up stitches 41 in the BU (corresponding to process A). Specifically, the feeder 5 is moved to the right, and the formation of pick-up stitches 41 on the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, and M in the BU and the formation of tuck stitches 40 on the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, and N in the FD are alternately repeated, thereby knitting the net portion 4 in which the pick-up stitches 41 and the tuck stitches 40 are alternately connected. A crossover yarn 43 connecting the pick-up stitches 41 and the tuck stitches 40 crosses between the first needle bed FD and the second needle bed BU. The pick-up stitches 41 and the tuck stitches 40 may be arranged somewhat irregularly. For example, there may be a location where multiple pick-up stitches 41 or multiple tuck stitches 40 are consecutive in the knitting width direction.

[0027] The feeder 5 in this example is a feeder 5 different from the feeder (not shown) used in knitting the base stitch row 2. The knitting yarn fed from the feeder 5 in this example is thinner than the knitting yarn that constitutes the base stitch row 2. The net portion 4 made of thin knitting yarn is less noticeable in the knitted fabric 1. Since the net portion 4 does not constitute the pattern of the jacquard portion 3, it is preferable that it is not noticeable in the knitted fabric 1. The knitting yarn fed from the feeder 5 may be transparent, or may be a knitting yarn of a similar color to the knitting yarn of the base stitch row 2. Unlike this example, the feeder 5 may be the feeder used in knitting the base stitch row 2.

[0028] In step S2, a first unit stitch row 31 indicated by a diamond mark is knitted using a feeder 6 different from the feeder 5 (part of process B). Specifically, the feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the stitches of the first unit stitch row 31 are knitted in the wale direction, continuing from the stitches held on the knitting needles D, E, and H of FD, among the plurality of stitches that make up the base stitch row 2. The stitches of the first unit stitch row 31 are the knit stitches 3F. The knit stitches 3F are stitches that have been pulled out from the back side of the old stitches to the front side when viewed from the outside of the tubular body 10 of the knitted fabric 1.

[0029] In step S3, a second unit stitch row 32 indicated by a pentagonal mark is knitted using a feeder 7 different from feeders 5 and 6 (part of process B). In this example, the feeder 7 is moved rightward, and a stitch 3F constituting the second unit stitch row 32 is knitted in the wale direction, continuous with the stitches held on knitting needles C, F, and I of FD, among the plurality of stitches constituting the base stitch row 2. The color of the knitting yarn fed from feeder 7 is different from the color of the knitting yarn fed from feeder 6.

[0030] In step S4, a third unit stitch row 33 indicated by a hexagonal mark is knitted using a feeder 8 different from the feeders 5, 6, and 7 (part of process B). In this example, the feeder 8 is moved rightward, and a stitch 3F constituting the third unit stitch row 33 is knitted in the wale direction, continuous with the stitches held on the knitting needles G, J, K, and M of FD, among the plurality of stitches constituting the base stitch row 2. The color of the knitting yarn fed from the feeder 8 is different from the color of the knitting yarn fed from the feeders 6 and 7.

[0031] In step S5, a fourth unit stitch row 34 indicated by a circle mark is knitted using a feeder 9 different from the feeders 5, 6, 7, and 8 (the remainder of process B). In this example, the feeder 9 is moved rightward, and a stitch 3F constituting the fourth unit stitch row 34 is knitted in the wale direction, consecutive to the stitches held on the knitting needles A, B, L, and N of FD, among the plurality of stitches constituting the base stitch row 2. The color of the knitting yarn fed from the feeder 9 is different from the color of the knitting yarn fed from the feeders 6, 7, and 8.

[0032] Steps S2 to S5 knit one course of jacquard stitch row 30 consisting of four unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, and 34. In this example, knitting of jacquard stitch row 30 is once completed, but steps S2 to S5 may be repeated one to three times. For example, when knitting the tubular body 10 shown in Fig. 1 into a C-shape, two courses of jacquard stitch row 30 may be knitted by knitting the C-shape twice.

[0033] In step S6, the pick-up loop 41 held by the BU is moved to the FD, and the pick-up loop 41 is overlapped with some of the stitches that make up the jacquard stitch row 30 (process C). A jacquard unit is knitted by a series of operations from step S1 to step S6.

[0034] A portion of the jacquard unit 3U in the knitting width direction is shown in the loop diagram of Fig. 3. Capital letters in Fig. 3 indicate the same knitting needle positions as in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 3, the jacquard unit 3U includes a jacquard stitch row 30 and a net portion 4 that covers the floating yarns 30s of the jacquard stitch row 30 from the back side. The net portion 4 can cover the floating yarns 30s because, when the net portion 4 is knitted alternately in FD and BU in step S1 of Fig. 2, all of the floating yarns 30s of the unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, and 34 that make up the jacquard stitch row 30 are positioned over the floating yarns 43 of the net portion 4 that float between FD and BU.

[0035] The net portion 4 is connected to the base stitch row 2 in which the jacquard stitch row 30 continues in the wale direction by a tuck stitch 40. The net portion 4 is also connected to the jacquard stitch row 30 by a hanging stitch 41 overlapping the jacquard stitch row 30. In this example, when knitting the jacquard unit 3U, only one course of jacquard stitch row 30 is knitted, so the jacquard stitch row 30 is the jacquard stitch row 30 of the first course in knitting the jacquard unit 3U and is also the jacquard stitch row 30 of the final course. In this example, all of the floating yarns 30s of the jacquard stitch row 30 are covered from the back side by the net portion 4.

[0036] Once knitting of one jacquard unit 3U is complete, steps S1 to S6 in Fig. 2 are repeated to complete the jacquard portion 3 in Fig. 1. By performing new steps S1 to S6, the double stitches of step S6 are fixed, and the jacquard unit 3U in Fig. 3 is completed. When steps S1 to S6 are repeated, a desired pattern can be formed in the jacquard portion 3 by changing the knitting position of the knit stitches 3F of each unit stitch row 31, 32, 33, 34. A part of the unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, 34 may be made up of purl stitches, in which case the pattern can be emphasized by changing the structure of the jacquard portion 3.

[0037] According to the knitting process described above, the floating yarns 30s of the jacquard stitch row 30 of each jacquard unit 3U are covered from the back side by the net portion 4. Therefore, it is possible to knit a knitted fabric 1 in which the wearer's fingers and other parts are less likely to get caught in the floating yarns of the jacquard stitch row 30 when wearing the knitted fabric 1. Furthermore, since the jacquard stitch row 30 of this example is composed only of the face stitches 3F, the jacquard portion 3 is thin and lightly finished.

[0038] <Embodiment 2> In the second embodiment, an example in which a purl stitch 3B is knitted in addition to a face stitch 3F when knitting unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, 34 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 can be viewed in the same way as Fig. 2.

[0039] Step S10 is the same as step S1 in Fig. 2. That is, step S10 shows a state in which the net portion 4 connected to the base stitch row 2 is knitted using the feeder 5.

[0040] In step S11, the feeder 5 is moved leftward, and stitches are knitted on the knitting needles K, G, and C of the BU. The feeder 5 is moved to a position where it passes through the knitting needle A of the BU. Next, the feeder 5 is moved rightward, and stitches are knitted on the knitting needles A, E, I, and M of the BU. The additional stitch row 49 made up of these stitches is a stitch row that continues in the wale direction from the pick-up stitch 41. The knitting of the additional stitch row 49 replaces the pick-up stitch 41 with a stitch, making it easier to knit steps S12 to S15, which will be described later. Step S11 is not essential. Knitting equivalent to this step S11 may also be performed in embodiment 1.

[0041] In step S12, when knitting the first unit stitch row 31, in addition to knitting stitches 3F with the knitting needles D, E, and H of FD, purl stitches 3B are knitted with the knitting needles C and K of BU. That is, the first unit stitch row 31 in this example is made up of a plurality of stitches 3F and a plurality of purl stitches 3B. The purl stitches 3B are continuous in the wale direction with the stitches of the net portion 4 held in BU. When the knitted fabric 1 is viewed from the outside, the purl stitches 3B are stitches pulled out from the stitches of the net portion 4 from the front to the back.

[0042] In step S13, when knitting the second unit stitch row 32, in addition to knitting the front stitches 3F with the knitting needles C, F, and I of FD, the back stitches 3B are knitted with the knitting needle G of BU.

[0043] In step S14, when knitting the third unit stitch row 33, in addition to knitting the front stitches 3F on the knitting needles G, J, K, and M of FD, the back stitches 3B are knitted on the knitting needles A and I of BU.

[0044] In step S15, when knitting the fourth unit stitch row 34, in addition to knitting the front stitches 3F with the knitting needles A, B, L, and N of FD, the back stitches 3B are knitted with the knitting needles E and M of BU.

[0045] Each of the unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, 34 knitted in steps S12 to S15 has a front stitch 3F and a purl stitch 3B. Each unit stitch row 31, 32, 33, 34 has an irregular rib structure, and the floating yarn is arranged so as to be folded between the front stitch 3F and the purl stitch 3B, so the unit stitch rows 31, 32, 33, 34 have excellent stretchability in the knitting width direction. This also improves the stretchability in the knitting width direction of the jacquard portion 3. The position at which the purl stitch 3B is formed in each unit stitch row 31, 32, 33, 34 is selected appropriately so that the floating yarn 30s does not become too long.

[0046] In step S16, a connecting stitch row 45 is knitted in the wale direction following the purl stitch 3B held by the BU. The connecting stitch row 45 is knitted by the feeder 5 that was used to knit the net portion 4 in steps S10 and S11. Therefore, the connecting stitch row 45 is part of the net portion 4.

[0047] Furthermore, in step S16, the connecting stitch row 45 is moved to the FD and overlapped with the jacquard stitch row 30. A jacquard unit 3U is formed by knitting from step S10 to step S16. Thereafter, by repeating step S10 to step S16, the jacquard portion 3 can be knitted.

[0048] <Other embodiments> In the first and second embodiments, the jacquard portion 3 is knitted only in the front body 10F, but the jacquard portion 3 may also be knitted in the back body 10B. When knitting the jacquard portion 3 in the back body 10B, BD and BU may be regarded as the first needle bed, and FD and FU as the second needle bed, and the knitting process shown in Fig. 2 or 4 may be carried out. In addition, the knitted fabric 1 may be a single-layer knitted fabric instead of a tubular knitted fabric. [Explanation of symbols]
