  • Knitting method for garment with asymmetrically joined sleeves, garment with asymmetrically joined sleeves, and knit design device
    Patent number: 7212881
    Abstract: Both sleeves and front and back bodies are joined using gores such that the gores between the front body and both front sleeves become larger than the gores between the back body and both back sleeves. The knitted fabric is rotated such that, for example, the border between the front side and the backside of the left sleeve is positioned between front and back needle beds. In this state, the left sleeve is joined to the front body. The knitted fabric is rotated again such that the border between the front side and the backside of the right sleeve is positioned between the front and back needle beds for joining the right sleeve to the front body.

  • Method of knitting garments having line difference, garment having line difference, and knit design device
    Patent number: 7181309
    Abstract: A body and both sleeves are knitted into cylindrical shapes, respectively, up to the underarm positions. Then, sleeve caps for both sleeves are knitted by flechage knitting such that the front sleeve caps become narrower than the back sleeve caps. Both sleeves are connected to the body using gores. The gores between the front body and both front sleeves are larger than the gores between the back body and both back sleeves. Then, the front body and the back body are knitted such that the knitting width of the front body becomes smaller than the knitting width of the back body. The front body and the back body are joined to both sleeves, and upper ends of the front body and the back body are joined together.
