[Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a second knitting process diagram following FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] A method for knitting a knitted fabric according to an embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment, a flat knitting machine equipped with a first needle bed, a second needle bed, and multiple yarn feeders is used. The knitted fabric has multiple knitted fabric portions, and each knitted fabric portion is knitted with a knitting yarn fed from a different yarn feeder. Such a knitted fabric is, for example, a knitted fabric with a border pattern or a knitted fabric with an intarsia pattern. In knitting such a knitted fabric, after knitting a first knitted fabric portion with a first yarn feeder that is one of the multiple yarn feeders, when switching to knitting with another yarn feeder, the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder is fixed to the knitted fabric.

[0024] <Embodiment 1> In the first embodiment, a knitting example of yarn finish using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described based on the knitting process diagram in Fig. 1 and the loop diagram in Fig. 2. The four-bed flat knitting machine has a lower front needle bed, a lower back needle bed, an upper front needle bed, and an upper back needle bed. 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. The FD and BD face each other. The FU arranged above the FD and the BU arranged above the BD face each other. The FD and FU are first needle beds, and the BD and BU are second needle beds. The FD and FU and the BD and BU can be racked relative to each other. In the first embodiment, the FU and BU are not used. Unlike this example, the flat knitting machine used for knitting may be a two-bed flat knitting machine.

[0025] In the left column of Figure 1, "S + number" indicates the knitting step number. The right column shows the knitting state in each knitting step. The black dots in the right column indicate FD or BD knitting needles, the circle marks indicate stitches, and the inverted triangle marks indicate the first yarn feeder 9. The FU and BU knitting needles are not shown. The parts related to the knitting operation in each knitting step are shown in thick lines, and the stitches are filled in. The vertical bar shown to the left of the knitting needle is a virtual reference line indicating the left-right position of the needle bed. When BD and BU are racked, the reference lines for FD and FU and the reference lines for BD and BU shift left and right. Figure 2 shows the state of the knitted stitches at the end of S4 in Figure 1. The loop diagram in Figure 2 shows only one FD knitting needle and one BD knitting needle.

[0026] In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the final course of the first knitted fabric portion 10. The last stitch of the first knitted fabric portion 10 is knitted on the second knitting needle from the left in BD. Hereinafter, this last stitch will be referred to as the first stitch 11. Unlike this example, the first stitch 11 may be a stitch in the vicinity of the last stitch.

[0027] In step S2, split knitting is performed on the first stitch 11 (process A). In this example, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, the first stitch 11 is moved to FD, and the second stitch 12 is pulled out from the first stitch 11 and knitted. The second stitch 12 is held on the knitting needle on which the first stitch 11 was held in S1. Unlike this example, the first stitch 11 may be moved to FU.

[0028] In step S3, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and a third stitch 13 is knitted, which is pulled out from the second stitch 12 (process B). As shown in FIG. 2, by knitting the third stitch 13 in S3, a knot 2 is formed, which is made of a sinker loop 12S that connects the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13, and the knit loop 11N of the first stitch 11 is inserted into the knot 2. In FIG. 2, the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line roughly corresponds to "knot 2." The knot 2 is formed when the sinker loop 12S becomes circular as it moves from the second stitch 12 to the third stitch 13, crosses the knit loop 12N, and is then inserted into a knit loop of a stitch other than the first stitch 11. In this example, the sinker loop 12S becomes circular as it moves from the second stitch 12 to the third stitch 13, and is then inserted into the knit loop 12N of the second stitch 12, thereby forming the knot 2. The knitting yarn 9Y that forms the knit loop 11N is inserted through the ring of this knot 2.

[0029] To form a knot 2 consisting of a sinker loop 12S and then pass a knit loop 11N through the knot 2, after knitting the second stitch 12, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved so that the knitting yarn 9Y extending from the second stitch 12 to the first yarn feeder 9 goes around the knitting yarn 9Y that constitutes the knit loop 11N, and then the third stitch 13 is knitted.

[0030] In step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right and stopped at a position beyond the third stitch 13. In other words, the first yarn feeder 9 is positioned in the direction opposite to the knitting direction (leftward) of the last knitted third stitch 13. By this S4, when BD and BU are racked in the next S5, the knitting yarn 9Y is less likely to be pulled out from the first yarn feeder 9.

[0031] In step S5, the BD and BU are racked to the right (process C). When racking, a start stitch that serves as a start point for applying tension to the sinker loop 12S is placed on the needle bed opposite the needle bed on which the first stitch 11, which is entangled with the knot 2, is located. In this example, the start stitch is the third stitch 13. In this example, the first stitch 11 is held in the FD, and all stitches other than the first stitch 11 are held in the BD facing the FD. Therefore, by racking in S5, the knitting needle of the BD shown in FIG. 2 moves to the right, i.e., in the direction of the hollow arrow. Because the knitting yarn 9Y is difficult to pull out from the first yarn feeder 9 in S4, the sinker loop 12S is pulled toward the third stitch 13 (in the direction of the thick arrow) as the BD moves. When the sinker loop 12S is pulled, the knot 2 through which the knit loop 11N is inserted is tightened, and the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1. Unlike this example, the racking direction of BD and BU may be leftward.

[0032] After step S5, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut by a cutter 8 provided in the flat knitting machine (step E). The cutter 8 is configured to be movable in the length direction of the needle bed, independent of the first yarn feeder 9. After the knitting yarn 9Y is cut, by further racking BD and BU, the cut end of the knitting yarn 9Y is pulled out from the second stitch 12. Since the sinker loop 12S fastens the knit loop 11N, the entire knitted fabric 1 does not fray. The first stitch 11 is moved to the knitting needle on which the third stitch 13 was held.

[0033] <Embodiment 2> In the second embodiment, a knitting example will be described in which the sinker loop 12S of the second stitch 12 is directly pulled. For the explanation, FIG.

[0034] In embodiment 2, steps S1 to S3 in Fig. 1 are performed. The flat knitting machine of this example is equipped with a movable gripper 7 that grips the knitting yarn 9Y. The gripper 7 of this example is mounted on the first yarn feeder 9, as shown by the two-dot chain line in S3. A specific example of such a gripper 7 is a pair of rollers that sandwich the knitting yarn, as described in JP 2021-172910 A. Unlike this example, the gripper 7 may be configured to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed independently of the first yarn feeder 9.

[0035] In this example, the knitting yarn 9Y is gripped by the gripper 7, and then the first yarn feeder 9 is moved. In this case, too, the knot 2 through which the knit loop 11N shown in FIG. 2 is inserted is tightened, and the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1. Thereafter, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut by the cutter 8, and the BD and BU are racked to pull out the cut end of the knitting yarn 9Y from the second stitch 12. In this example, the movement direction of the first yarn feeder 9 may be leftward or rightward. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of this example, no excessive load is applied to stitches other than the third stitch 13.

[0036] <Embodiment 3> In the third embodiment, a knitting example in which a knot 2 through which the knit loop 11N of the first stitch 11 is inserted can be formed without using a split stitch will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 can be viewed in the same way as Fig. 1. The V marks in Fig. 3 indicate hook stitches or tuck stitches, and the double circle marks indicate double stitches.

[0037] In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the final course of the first knitted fabric portion 10. Furthermore, in S1, a pick-up loop 16 is knitted on the outer side in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric 1, in this example, to the left of the first stitch 11 (process Z). The pick-up loop 16 is formed on the empty needle of BD.

[0038] In step S2, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right and the first stitch 11 is passed through. Thereafter, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left and the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13 are knitted continuously (process A and part of process B). The second stitch 12 is pulled out from the first stitch 11. In other words, the second stitch 12 is a stitch that continues in the wale direction of the first stitch 11. The third stitch 13 is pulled out from the pick-up stitch 16. In other words, the third stitch 13 is a stitch that continues in the wale direction of the pick-up stitch 16.

[0039] In step S3, the third stitch 13 is overlapped on the second stitch 12 (the remainder of process B). By forming this overlapping stitch, a knot 2 (see the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line) consisting of a sinker loop 12S is formed, as shown in the loop diagram of Fig. 4. In this example, the knot 2 is formed by the sinker loop 12S becoming circular as it moves from the second stitch 12 to the third stitch 13, and then being inserted into the pick-up loop 16. In this example, the sinker loop 13S of the third stitch 13 is also looped around the pick-up loop 16 in a ring shape (see the area indicated by the thick arrow pointing to the upper right).

[0040] In step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and a tuck stitch 17 is knitted in the stitch immediately to the right of the double stitch. The tuck stitch 17 makes it easier to form the hanging stitch 18 in the next step S5. The tuck stitch 17 also prevents excessive tension from being applied to the third stitch 13 in S7, which will be described later. The tuck stitch 17 is not essential.

[0041] In step S5, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and a pick-up loop 18 is formed on the empty needle of the BD to the right of the tuck stitch 17. In step S6, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, and then a pick-up loop 19 is formed on the empty needle of the BD as it is moved to the right. Thereafter, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left. The leftward direction is the opposite knitting direction of the pick-up loop 19, which is the last stitch knitted in the series of knitting steps. The position of the pick-up loop 19 is not particularly limited. The pick-up loop 19 may be omitted.

[0042] In step S7, BD and BU are racked to the right (process C). In this example, the starting point stitch that serves as the starting point for applying tension to the sinker loop 12S is the pick-up stitch 18. This process causes the pick-up stitches 18, 19 in FIG. 4 to move to the right. As the pick-up stitches 18, 19 move, the knitting yarn 9Y heading from the pick-up stitch 18 toward the knitted fabric 1 is pulled to the right, tightening the knot 2 and reducing the ring of the sinker loop 13S at the location indicated by the thick arrow. As a result, the knitting yarn 9Y is firmly fixed to the knitted fabric 1.

[0043] After step S7, the pick-up loops 18, 19 are removed from the needle bed. When the knitting yarn 9Y is pulled by the gripper 7 described in the second embodiment, it is not necessary to form the pick-up loops 18, 19.

[0044] <Embodiment 4> In the fourth embodiment, an example in which the knitting yarn 9Y of the first yarn feeder 9 is fixed to the knitted fabric 1 when knitting a tubular knitted fabric 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Figs. 5 and 6 can be viewed in the same way as Fig. 1. However, the knitting needles of FU and BU are indicated by black dots.

[0045] In step S1, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and the first knitted fabric portion 10 is knitted in the FD. In this example, the leftmost stitch held in the BD is the first stitch 11. The leftmost stitch of the first knitted fabric portion 10 is the terminal stitch of the first knitted fabric portion 10 and also the opposing stitch 15 facing the first stitch 11. The first stitch 11 is a stitch located in the vicinity of the opposing stitch 15, which is the terminal stitch.

[0046] In step S2, the opposing stitches 15 are moved to the outside in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric 1 (process X).

[0047] In step S3, the first stitch 11 is moved to the empty needle formed in step S2, and in the following step S4, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward to perform split stitching on the first stitch 11 (process A). As a result, the first stitch 11 is returned to the same position as in step S1, and the second stitch 12 is held on the empty needle formed in step S2.

[0048] In step S5, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward to knit the third stitch 13, which is continuous in the wale direction from the second stitch 12 (step B). As a result, similar to Fig. 2 in embodiment 1, a knot 2 is formed, which is made up of a sinker loop 12S connecting the second stitch 12 and the third stitch 13, and the knit loop 11N of the first stitch 11 is inserted through the knot 2.

[0049] In step S6, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and then the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the left, and a new third stitch 14 is knitted which continues in the wale direction of the third stitch 13 (process D). The knitting direction of the new third stitch 14 is the leftward direction, the same as the knitting direction of the third stitch 13 in step S5. This knitting also forms a knot (not shown) consisting of a sinker loop that connects the new third stitch 14 and the old third stitch 13, and the knit loop of the second stitch is inserted into the knot.

[0050] Here, knitting in step S6 is not essential. If the new third stitch 14 is not knitted, the "new third stitch 14" in the subsequent steps is replaced with the "third stitch 13".

[0051] In step S7 of Fig. 6, the new third stitch 14 is moved to the outside of the knitting width of the knitted fabric, and the opposing stitch 15 is returned to its original position (the position of step S1 of Fig. 5) (process Y). The new third stitch 14 is held by the FD.

[0052] In step S8, all the stitches of the first knitted fabric portion 10 held in the FD are moved to the BU, while the new third stitch 14 remains held in the FD.

[0053] In step S9, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right. The right direction is opposite to the knitting direction (left direction) of the new third stitch 14. By this step S9, when BD and BU are racked in the next step S10, the knitting yarn 9Y is less likely to be pulled out from the first yarn feeder 9.

[0054] In step S10, BD and BU are racked to the right. This racking tightens the knot 2 formed in step S5 and the knot formed in step S6, and fixes the knitting yarn 9Y to the knitted fabric 1. Unlike this example, the racking direction of BD and BU may be leftward.

[0055] In step S11, the first yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, the racking pitches of BD and BU are returned to the same state as in S9, and the stitches of the first knitted fabric portion 10 that were left in BU are returned to FD.

[0056] After step S11, the knitting yarn 9Y is cut near the knot, and the new third stitch 14 is removed from the knitting needles. The knitting yarn 9Y can be cut by the cutter 8 shown in the first embodiment. In this case, there is no need for a person to tighten the knot and cut the knitting yarn 9Y, and automation of knitting by a flat knitting machine is achieved. Note that when the knitting yarn 9Y fed from the first yarn feeder 9 is to be reused, the knitting yarn 9Y does not need to be cut. [Explanation of symbols]
