Abstract: Fusible adhesive yarn in which spun core yarn and heat fusible yarn are twisted with each other in the same or opposite twisting direction as or to that of the spun core yarn. The spun core yarn is composed of elastic yarn and non-elastic short fiber assembly extending in the direction of the elastic yarn so that the non-elastic short fiber assembly encloses the circumference of the elastic yarn as a core.

Abstract: A method for processing end portion of fabric knitted by a flat knitting machine wherein integration of fabrics and the anti-raveling of end portion at the completion of knitting are carried out and the joined portion is not projected out of the surface of fabric. Two feeders which travel different orbits on a needle bed are used, a yarn on the front yarn feeder is fed to a needle of the back bed while a yarn on back yarn feeder is fed to a needle of front bed so that the yarns on both the yarn feeders are intertwined with each other to form a loop of fabric, and the formed loop is transferred to the needle adjacent thereto to overlap the loop to integrally connect the fabric.

Abstract: A method of forming a knitted body part of a knitted wear which includes knitting an integral pocket while knitting the body portion. A flat knitting machine with two pair of needle beds in a vertical direction is used. As soon as the body portion is knitted up to a predetermined position, the knitting machine is operated to branch out specific loops engaged with those knitting needles in a region corresponding to the predetermined width of a pocket.

Abstract: Method of knitting a pocket on a knitted garment and reinforcing the upper portion of the pocket by rib knitting. Front and rear knitting needles are provided and the yarn is fed to the rear and front knitting needles as necessary and the stitches are transferred from the front needles to the rear needles and from the rear needle to the front needles as necessary for forming the pocket with the garment.

Abstract: A method for determining a sleeve and body pattern so that each sleeve is the same vertically as related to the body. The body is arranged so that the vertical height of an armhole between a shoulder point and an underarm point is equal in height of a set-in region of the sleeve pattern. The sleeves are joined to the body of the garment by a knitting process.

Abstract: A flat knitting machine provided with at least a pair of needle beds, either or both of the needle beds arranged for movement lengthwisely thereof. Two tubular knit fabrics being coupled each other at both ends, are provided in linear symmetrical relationship about a boundary line of adjointed ends. Two loops at the joint portion of each tubular fabrics are jointed, overlapping the new loop on the first overlapped loop. The method incorporates by repeating a predetermined number of times of a process of binding off the new loops, the cast-on of each tubular knit fabric is controlled so that the seams. Of the two tubular knit fabrics can be knitted in the same course.

Abstract: A method for knitting a buttonhole in a knit product by using a knitting machine for forming the remainder of the knitted product employing the following steps: feeding a thread to a front knitting needle, transferring the loop held on the front knitting needle to a corresponding rear knitting needle, racking the needle bed leftward, transferring the two loops to a front needle, repeating the above steps leftward to form a bottom peripheral portion if the buttonhole, hooking a loop held on the front needle, racking and transferring the loop rightward to an empty front needle, repeating the steps rightward to increase the number of loops on the front knitting needles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a knitting method employed at the end of knitting of a fabric knitted by using a flat knitting machine possessing at least first and second needle beds disposed in a pair of front and rear ones, and a knit fabric knitted by executing the same method.

Abstract: A method of knitting in pleats according to the present invention comprises the steps of: knitting a succession of surf ace knitted sections, fold-back knitted sections, and overlap knitted sections with the use of arrays of knitting needles mounted on at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, one or both of which are arranged movable leftward and rightward; removing the fold-back knitted sections from the corresponding needles after fastening of thread ends; displacing the surface knitted section and/or the overlap knitted section close to the needles, from which the fold-back knitted sections are removed, so that they are located next to each other; loading a succession of the surface, overlap, and surface knitted sections onto the array of needles on one of the two needle beds; after moving the other needle bed in a direction opposite to the fold-back direction of the bold-back section, loading the overlap or surface knitted section onto the knitting needles of the other needle bed; after moving the o

Abstract: A method and apparatus for knitting a pocket on a knit type of clothing such as a sweater. The apparatus includes a flat knitting machine having multiple front and back knitting needles operational in parallel. The pocket is knitted by the front and rear needles by knitting a portion of the pocket with some needles and then transferring the stitches to other needles for knitting other parts of the pocket.
