Abstract: In a process of knitting a fabric during which at least a part of loops in the flechage knitting region are transferred between the front and back needle beds to move the loops laterally, loops in a stitch move region which are moved laterally whenever an adequate number of courses of the flechage knitting region are knitted are transferred to an opposite needle bed and then the front and back needle beds are moved relative to each other. Then, loops of wale which are put in the rest state in a process of the flechage knitting are held on the needle bed opposite to the needle bed on which loops of a next course are formed in a sequent flechage knitting until the stitch move is completed. Only the loops of the wale in which the loops of the next course are formed in the sequent knitting are transferred back to their originally retained needle bed prior to the forming of the loops of the next course. This knitting is repeatedly performed.

Abstract: A knitting method of joining together adjacent fabrics (3, 5), which are arranged side by side and knitted in a tubular form, at ends thereof on the sides adjacent to each other by using a flat knitting machine so that the joining portion of knitwear, such as a side part of sweater or at a crotch of pants, is prevented from being holed and is also increased in pull strength. The knitting progresses from one of the tubular knitted fabrics (3) to the other tubular knitted fabric (5) to join together the tubular fabrics, during which a yarn is fed to needles holding loops formed one stitch backward with respect to a join processing direction to provide a tubular knitting for the needles, followed by shifting the yarn to needles holding loops formed two stitches forward with respect to the join processing direction, to provide the same tubular knitting as above for the needles, the knitting steps being repeatedly performed.

Abstract: A method of knitting a stripe pattern in a tubular fabric by using a flat knitting machine comprising at least a pair of front and back needle beds, wherein a front fabric 3 and a back fabric 5 are suspended in layers from the needle beds and their loop courses are cyclically knitted in an alternate order so as to be joined together at each widthwise end thereof to form the tubular fabric 1; wherein whenever a predetermined courses are knitted, two different yarns of a first yarn and a second yarn are switched to each other alternately to form the stripe pattern comprising a first knitted fabric part 7 and a second knitted fabric part 9; and wherein a loop of at least either of the first knitted fabric part and the second knitted fabric part is missed at a yarn switching point in the boundary between the first knitted fabric part 7 and the second knitted fabric part 9, to minimize a stitch level difference produced at that point.

Abstract: An object is to make it possible to provide a method for knitting a cable pattern in a tubular knitted fabric with high productivity.

Abstract: At least three bind-off courses are formed starting at not less than three loops, i.e., loops of the first and second knitted fabrics at side ends thereof on the side on which the knitting of a tubular fabric is finished in the region of the binding-off process, and a loop adjoining to the loop of at least either of the first and second knitted fabrics at the side end. The loop of the bind-off course formed is laid over the loop of the last course of the opposite knitted fabric in such a manner that while being formed, the respective bind-off courses can be allowed to extend in zigzag from the first knitted fabric to the second knitted fabric and vice versa, ranging over the region of the binding-off process, to be crossed with each other. As a result of this knitting, no undesirable gap is produced between the joined knitted fabrics and also an undesirable stretch of the fabric at the joints is suppressed.

Abstract: A method for knitting and joining together at least two tubular fabrics by using a flat knitting machine. The method includes a step of laying loops of a final course in a joining region of a first tubular fabric, which comprise a number of wale and are located at a side end portion thereof, and loops of a final course in a joining region of a second tubular fabric are laid over each other such that the loops located at a near side from a boundary between a front knitted fabric part and a back knitted fabric part are combined with each other and the loops located at a far side are combined with each other, thereby a machi is formed at a joining point of the tubular fabrics. The method also includes a step of knitting an integrated tubular fabric continuously from the joined tubular fabric.

Abstract: A knitting method for disposing an unused yarn edge produced in yarn-in or a yarn-out operation. The knitting method includes forming that two or more unused-yarn-edge disposal loops are from the knitting yarn introduced in and/or drawn out in knitting a knitted fabric by using an empty needle around an end side of a knitted fabric body; and moving the unused-yarn-edge disposal loops thus formed and laying each disposal loop over loops of different courses of the knitted fabric body located at an end side thereof in knitting the next course of the knitted fabric body. This knitting method allows the unused yarn edge to be held in the knitted fabric by the loops of the knitted fabric, and as such can allow the unused yarn edge to be disposed by simply cutting it at its portion close to the knitted fabric, without the need of the linking.
