Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of joining several knit parts on flat knitting machines. In accordance with the invention several knit parts are produced in sequence or in different areas of the flat knitting machine simultaneously and subsequently joined to each other on differing needle beds by simple attachment knitting or other joining technique for joining loops. When producing two knit parts on a needle bed it is necessary to transfer one knit part to an auxiliary needle bed or a further needle bed and to laterally displace this needle bed so that the desired joining portions may be knitted to each other.
