  Conventionally, using each knitted fabric knitted using separate yarn feeders on the front and back needle beds, and connecting the front and back at the ends of the knitted fabric, as shown in Patent Document 1, the yarn feeder and the knitted fabric There is a method in which the knitting yarn is entangled by considering the positional relationship of the needle bed to be performed and the knitting order.

JP 10-72746 A

  However, when the front and rear knitted fabrics are connected by the knitting method of Patent Document 1 to form a tubular knitted fabric, the knitting yarn is entangled every two courses, so that the portion connected to the stitches adjacent to each course is connected. In a course that does not connect to the adjacent stitch, a hole that is slightly larger than that between other stitches is formed, and that portion becomes conspicuous.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a knitting method in which holes are not conspicuous when connecting front and rear knitted fabrics of cylindrical knitted fabrics knitted with different knitting yarns on the front and rear needle beds.

The present invention uses a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, and when knitting using separate yarn feeders for the front and rear needle beds, the back located on the back side (back) of the flat knitting machine Front and back knitting at both ends of each stitch row formed by feeding the needle on the front needle bed with the side yarn feeder and feeding the needle on the rear needle bed with the front yarn feeder located on the front side (front) A method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric formed by entanglement of yarn portions, which includes the following steps.
(1) A step of performing knitting of a stitch row by a knitted fabric width with a needle bed assigned to the yarn feeder using any one yarn feeder;
(2) The other yarn feeder is moved in the same direction as the one yarn feeder, and the yarn feeder is advanced when the stitch row is knitted on the needle bed facing the needle bed knitted on the one yarn feeder. A step of transferring the stitches at the end to the opposite needle bed before knitting the stitch row, making a mistake in the empty needle, and transferring the transferred stitches after knitting the stitch row.

  Further, the present invention provides a knitting yarn portion at both ends of a stitch row that is knitted by feeding yarns at separate yarn feeders to the front and back needle beds using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds. A tubular knitted fabric formed by entanglement, wherein a miss yarn crosses before a stitch at an end of the stitch row at a boundary portion where the stitch row is connected.

  According to the present invention, when connecting the front and rear knitted fabrics formed by knitting separate knitting yarns on the front and back needle beds, the transition yarns are provided by missing the stitches at the ends of the stitch rows, By shifting the position where the knitting yarn is entangled from the substantially middle position of the front and back needle beds to one stitch side and arranging the stitch inside the crossover yarn to express the structure, the generated hole becomes inconspicuous. Unlike the conventional case, the hole does not become large and stands out only at the part that is not connected to the adjacent stitch at the boundary part, but the boundary part itself is formed as a textured pattern, and the entanglement position of the knitting yarn is shifted to an inconspicuous position. , Miss transition yarns are placed and the holes are not noticeable.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiment, the carriage has two pairs of needle beds that extend in the left-right direction, and has a three-cam system in the carriage that can perform at least transfer, knit, and transfer on the same course. A flatbed flat knitting machine is used.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a process of forming a tubular knitted fabric 1 carried out according to the present invention. In the figure, S and a number on the left side indicate a knitting procedure (knitting step). However, one knitting step does not necessarily correspond to one knitting course (carriage movement), and when expressing a plurality of knitting courses, and vice versa, a plurality of knitting steps express one knitting course. There is also a case. The needle bed is provided in two stages on the front and rear sides, and the lower stage of the rear needle bed is indicated by BD, the upper stage is indicated by BU, the upper stage of the front needle bed is indicated by FU, and the lower stage is indicated by FD. Uppercase letters A, B, C,..., G indicate knitting needles on the rear needle bed, and lowercase letters a, b, c,. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, ▼ indicates the near-side yarn feeder 2 located on the near side provided in the flat knitting machine, and ▽ indicates the far-side yarn feeder 3 located on the far side of the near-side yarn feeder 2. , ● indicates a stitch to be newly knitted, and ○ indicates a stitch locked to the knitting needle. The up and down arrows indicate that the stitch locked to the knitting needle at that position is moved in the direction indicated by the transfer, and the left and right arrows on the right side indicate the direction of travel of the carriage. The arrows indicated by dotted lines indicate only the movement of the carriage. In each step, for the sake of convenience, large and small English letters indicating the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds are omitted as appropriate, and the number of knitting needles is also displayed for convenience of explanation.

  In S1, the back yarn feeder 3 located on the back side provided in the flat knitting machine is used, and the FD knitting needles a, b, c, d, e, f, and g serving as the front needle bed are moved rightward. The knit fabric is knitted, and a half stitch row of the tubular knitted fabric 1 is formed as the front knitted fabric 4, and then only the carriage is moved leftward. In S <b> 2, the front yarn feeder 2 is transferred to the knitting needle g of the FU that opposes the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle G of the BD that is the end of the rear knitted fabric 5 in the direction in which the next knitting proceeds. In S3, the front yarn feeder 2 located on the front side of the back yarn feeder 3 is used, and the knitting needles A, B, C, D, E, and F serving as the back needle bed are knitted, and cylindrical knitting A further half stitch row of the ground 1 is formed as the back knitted fabric 5. At this time, a knitting yarn crosses by making a mistake with respect to the knitting needle G of the BD, and the knitting yarn connected to the yarn feeders 2 and 3 and the stitch overlaps with the knitting yarn connected to the front yarn feeder 2 in the upper and lower directions. ing.

  In S4, the stitch transferred from the knitting needle G of the BD to the knitting needle g of the FU is transferred back to the knitting needle G of the BD. The transition yarn connected from the knitting needle F of the BD to the front side yarn feeder 2 is positioned outside the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle G. Further, the steps S2 to S4 are performed in the same course in which the carriage moves from left to right using three cam systems.

  In S5, the front knitted fabric 4 is knitted in the left direction with the FD knitting needles g, f, e, d, c, b, a by the back side yarn feeder 3, and the knitting yarn that has overlapped on the lower side is knitted. The knitting yarn connected to the near-side yarn feeder 2 is sandwiched. Thereafter, only the carriage is moved rightward.

  In S6, the front yarn feeder 2 is transferred to the knitting needle a of the FU facing the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle A of the BD, which is the end of the rear knitted fabric 5 in the direction in which the next knitting proceeds. In S7, the knitting needles G, F, E, D, C, and B of the BD are knitted as the back knitted fabric 5 by the front yarn feeder 2, and the knitting needle A of the BD is missed. At the time of this knitting, as shown by S3, the stitch that becomes the starting point connected to the front yarn feeder 2 is not the knitting needle G but the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle F, and the transition of the knitting yarn is located outside the stitch. When the rear knitted fabric 5 is knitted, the point 6 where the knitting yarn is entangled is attracted to the BD side, approaching the stitches of the knitting needle G from the middle position of the front and back needle beds and becoming less conspicuous. In S8, the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle a of the FU is transferred back to the knitting needle A of the BD, and the transition yarn that is connected from the knitting needle B of the BD to the front yarn feeder 2 is positioned outside the stitch that is locked to the knitting needle A. Steps S6 to S8 are also performed on the same course in which the carriage moves from right to left using three cam systems. Also in this case, the knitting yarns connected to the yarn feeders 2 and 3 and the stitches overlap each other, and the transition yarn connected to the back yarn feeder 3 is on the lower side.

  In S9, the back side yarn feeder 3 knits the right side with the FD knitting needles a, b, c, d, e, f, and g, and the knitting yarn overlapped on the lower side is the front side yarn feeder. 2 is put between the knitting yarns connected to 2. Thereafter, only the carriage is moved leftward.

S10 indicates a state in which the steps of S2 to S4 are further repeated, and indicates that both sides of the front and rear knitted fabrics formed by knitting different knitting yarns on the front and back needle beds are connected (cylindrical knitted fabric). 1). At the point 7 where the knitting yarn is entangled, for the same reason as the point 6 where the knitting yarn is entangled, the knitting yarn is drawn to the BD side during the knitting of the rear knitted fabric 5 and approaches the stitch of the knitting needle A from the middle position of the front and back needle beds. It becomes difficult. The interlaced points 6 and 7 are drawn toward the BD side, and the cross yarns appear on the front surface of the stitches by alternately making mistakes outside the stitches locked to the knitting needles A and G. The interlaced points 6 and 7 are those stitches. Hidden by the crossover thread at a position close to, becomes almost inconspicuous, and adds value as a tissue pattern.

  In this embodiment, the boundary between the front knitted fabric 4 and the rear knitted fabric 5 can be expressed as a tissue pattern, and can be applied to a body such as a sleeveless body. Moreover, although the tubular knitted fabric is knitted with the tengu, a structure may be formed. Also in a two-bed knitting machine, so-called needle punching knitting can be performed using every other knitting needle.

FIG. 3 is a knitting diagram of a cylindrical knitted fabric formed by entanglement of knitting yarn portions at both ends of a stitch row knitted by knitting with separate yarn feeders in the front and rear in the present embodiment.
