Abstract
This invention provides a knitting method that allows the end yarns to be interwoven into the knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine, making them less noticeable. [Solution] A method for knitting a fabric using a flat knitting machine equipped with a movable gripper comprises the following steps A to E. Step A is to knit a first row of stitches that is part of the fabric and connected to the end yarn, which is the end of the knitting yarn. Step B is to grip the end yarn with the movable gripper before, during, or after step A. Step C is to knit lock stitches using the end yarn on a bare needle before or after step A. Step D is to knit multiple rows of second stitches connected to the wale direction of the first row of stitches so as to intertwine with the lock stitches. Step E is to release the grip of the end yarn by the movable gripper after step C.
