Abstract: A shoe upper comprising a knitted fabric has tubular portions having axial directions parallel to a tongue of the shoe upper, being knitted tubularly, and having shoelace holes. The tubular portions are filled with a filler so that the knitted fabric of the tubular portions is reinforced. The knitted fabric around the shoelace holes may be easily reinforced.

Abstract: Knitted loops of a neckline of a right breast portion or a left breast portion knitted by dividing a breast are transferred to a needle bed where a back is retained, and a front collar knitting portion is knitted on a neckline of the other breast portion. The front collar knitting portion is cast off from knitted loops at a center portion edge of a torso to a position where knitted loops of at least one neckline do not overlap with at least knitted loops of the other neckline. The knitted loops of the front collar knitting portion are transferred to a needle bed wherein knitted loops of the back are retained, the knitted loops of the one neckline are returned to an original needle bed, and a front collar knitting portion is knit on the one neckline. A predetermined number of stitches are cast off from knitted loops of a center portion edge of a breast of the front collar knitting portion.

Abstract: A knitting method for knitting a knitted fabric having a half cardigan knitting structure of well-balanced loops without getting out of loop shape. The half cardigan knitting structure comprises first wale in which knitted loops and tuck loops are formed and second wale in which only the knitted loops are formed are formed alternately with alternate needles. The knitted loops of the first wale are supplied to a front needle bed (FB), and the knitted loops of the second wale are supplied to a back needle bed (BB). The knitted loops of the first wale are transferred to confronting empty needles of the back needle bed (BB). Then, the loops of the second wale are formed on the back needle bed (BB), while the tuck loops are formed on the needles of the front needle bed (FB) which confront the needles of the back needle bed (BB) hooking the knitted loops of the first wale and also the knitting yarn is temporarily held on adjoining needles to that needle. Then, the temporarily-held knitting yarn is released.

Abstract: The knitted loops of one neckline of a right breast or left breast knitted dividing a breast are transferred to a needle bed where a back is retained, and a front collar knitting portion is knitted on the other neckline. The front collar knitting portion is cast off from the knitting loops at the center portion edge of the torso to a position where knitted loops of at least one neckline do not overlap with at least the knitted loops of the one neckline. The knitted loops of the front collar knitting portion are transferred to a needle bed wherein the knitted loops of the back are retained, the knitted loops of the one neckline are returned to the original needle bed, and a front collar knitting portion is knit on the one neckline. A predetermined number of stitches are cast off from the knitted loops of the center portion edge of the breast of the front collar knitting portion.

Abstract: A neckline (8) is formed between right and left bodies in a first body (2) of a tubular knitted fabric comprising the first body (2) and a second body (3) by a flechage knitting. Widening is performed in the center of the neckline to form outer-layer-neck knitting loops and inner-layer-neck knitting loops. A first neck (5b) is formed from a whole or a part of the inner-layer-neck knitting loops in the condition that the outer-layer-neck knitting loops are held by the alternate needles on the first needle bed. Whenever a proper number of courses are knitted, the first neck is moved to overlap the loops of the first neck with the loops of the neckline so as to form loops of the next course. This step is repeatedly performed. Then, a second neck (5a) are formed from a whole or a part of the outer-layer-neck knitting loops. Whenever a proper number of courses are knitted, the second neck is overlapped with the loops of the neckline to form loops of the next course. This step is repeatedly performed.

Abstract: A method of knitting knitwear comprises the joining knit step comprising the step that whenever an adequate number of courses of the front body 3a and the back body 3b are knitted by using different yarn feeders, both right and left sleeves 5, 7 are shifted to the body side and joined together; and the step that when the front body 3a and the back body 3b are knitted by different feed yarns, respectively, and the yarn is fed to either of the right and left sleeves 5, 7 to form stitches in the next course, split knit is provided for stitches of the front sleeves 5a, 7a and back sleeves 5b, 7b at side ends thereof on the body side and then the stitches formed by the split knit are laid over the stitches of the different courses in the bodies 3a, 3b, respectively, to join together the sleeves 5, 7 and the body 3.

Abstract: In a knitting method in which after a front body and a back body are knitted in a tube form, sleeves formed in a tube form and the both front and back bodies are joined on a flat knitting machine, knit clothing is knitted to form a good-looking armhole line, while preventing a possible yarn breakage when the sleeves as were completed in the knitting and the body are joined.

Abstract: A widened loop is formed by using a flat knitting machine which has at least a pair of needle beds and one of the needle beds can be moved sideways. A widening needle is made to be empty, and yarn is fed from one end of the knitting range to a needle short of the widening needle. Next, yarn is not fed to the widening needle but to a needle next to the widening needle. The yarn feeder is reversed and yarn is fed to the widening needle. Then the yarn feeder is reversed again and yarn is fed to a needle next to the needle to which yarn has been fed. According to the method loops 21, 23 on both sides of the widened loop 11 are connected together by a cross-over yarn 25, and the widened loop 11 is held by a loop 13 of the previous course. Therefore it will not be pulled up. Because of these arrangements, an open gap will be hardly generated around the widened loop 11.
