Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted fabric for knitting a knitted fabric having a separation portion, and a knitted fabric manufacturing method for processing a knitted fabric obtained by the knitting method of the knitted fabric.

  Knitting a knitted fabric comprising a first knitted fabric portion and a second knitted fabric portion that are juxtaposed, and a separation portion formed between both knitted fabric portions using a flat knitting machine is performed. . For example, as a knitted fabric having a separation portion, a cardigan in which a right front body (first knitted fabric portion) and a left front body (second knitted fabric portion) arranged side by side are separated from each other can be cited. Also, a bag-like right placket (first edge) and a bag-like left placket (second edge) are respectively formed at the end of the right front body and the end of the left front body. Sometimes.

  Here, a knitted fabric knitted using a flat knitting machine is usually subjected to a set operation such as steam or ironing after being washed. However, since the vicinity of the separation part of the knitted fabric curls or shrinks due to washing, the workability of the setting work is not good. For example, in Patent Document 1, a right front body, a back body, and a left front body of a cardigan are knitted in a C shape, and an insertion thread different from a base knitting yarn for knitting these bodies is used for the right front. A knitting method of a knitted fabric that binds the body and the left front body has been proposed. In other words, the knitting method of the knitted fabric disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires two yarn feeders, a yarn feeder that feeds the base knitting yarn and a yarn feeder that feeds the insertion yarn.

  On the other hand, the cardigan may be knitted as a single-layer knitted fabric instead of a tubular knitted fabric. For example, the right front body and the left front body of the cardigan are knitted side by side on the needle bed, and the back body of the cardigan is knitted following the shoulder lines of both front bodies. After knitting a single layer knitted cardigan, the cardigan is completed by connecting the side lines of the front and back bodies together by sewing. In this case, when the right front body and the left front body are knitted, separate yarn feeders are required. Furthermore, if the right front body and the left front body are bound with the insertion yarn in the same manner as the knitting method of the knitted fabric of Patent Document 1, a total of three yarn feeders are required.

JP 2008-261074 A

  In recent years, it has been desired to knit a knitted fabric with higher productivity. In order to meet the demand, it has been studied to reduce the number of yarn feeders used for knitting the knitted fabric. This is because if the number of yarn feeders can be reduced, it is possible to reduce the time and effort required for yarn insertion and yarn removal, and to improve the productivity of the knitted fabric.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its purposes is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric that can reduce the number of yarn feeders for knitting a knitted fabric having a separation portion. is there. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a knitted fabric for producing a knitted fabric having an open separation using the knitted fabric obtained by the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention. is there.

  The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention is provided at the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion that are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction across the separation portion, and at the separation portion side end of the first knitted fabric portion A knitted fabric comprising a bag-shaped first edge portion and a bag-shaped second edge portion provided at the end of the second knitted fabric portion on the side of the separation portion, and a flat knitting comprising a pair of front and rear needle beds facing each other A knitting method of a knitted fabric knitted using a machine. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric according to the present invention, the first edge and the second edge are knitted using the same yarn feeder provided in the flat knitting machine, while the first edge is inside the bag. A bridging yarn portion extending toward the inside of the bag at the edge portion and crossing the separation portion is knitted, and the first edge portion and the second edge portion are connected.

  In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a form in which the knitted fabric is a tubular knitted fabric can be mentioned.

  In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first edge and the second edge can be knitted by bag knitting, and the fixing of both ends of the crossover yarn can be performed by tack.

  The knitted fabric manufacturing method of the present invention is a method of knitting a knitted fabric by the knitted fabric knitting method of the present invention, and cutting a portion disposed at the position of the separating portion of the transition yarn portion provided in the knitted fabric. Then, this is a method for manufacturing a knitted fabric in which the cut ends of the transition yarn portions are drawn into the bag at the first edge and the bag at the second edge, respectively.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first edge portion, the second edge portion, and the transition yarn portion can be knitted using the same yarn feeder. That is, compared to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of Patent Document 1 in which two portions sandwiching the separation portion are bound with the insertion yarn, the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention can reduce the yarn feeders to be used.

  Moreover, according to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a knitted fabric in which the bag-like first edge and the second edge sandwiching the separation portion are connected by the cross yarn portion can be knitted. The transition yarn portion is a relative position between the first edge portion and the second edge portion, that is, relative to the first knitted fabric portion where the first edge portion is provided and the second knitted fabric portion where the second edge portion is provided. It plays the role of holding a special position. Therefore, even if the knitted fabric is washed, the relative positions of the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are not easily displaced, and the knitted fabric setting operation is easy to perform.

  If the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention for knitting a tubular knitted fabric, the knitted fabric can be circulated in a certain direction. For example, when knitting a cardigan body, right front body (first knitted fabric part) → first edge → crossover yarn part → second edge → left front body (second knitted fabric part) → back body → right front body ( Circumferential knitting can be performed in the order of the first knitted fabric portion) →. By circularly knitting the knitted fabric in a certain direction, the overall texture of the knitted fabric can be made uniform. On the other hand, in the knitting method of the knitted fabric of Patent Document 1 in which the right front body and the left front body of the cardigan are bound with an insertion thread, the right front body, the back body, and the left front body are knitted in a C shape. In that case, since the knitting direction is switched for each knitting course, the appearance of the knitted fabric may be impaired depending on the type of knitting yarn used for knitting.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention in which the first edge portion and the second edge portion are knitted by bag knitting, and both ends of the crossover yarn portion are fixed by tack, the knitted fabric can be knitted efficiently. it can. Bag knitting is a knitting method in which the yarn feeders are reciprocated to arrange the stitches in a bag shape, and is the simplest knitting method of the bag-like stitch row. Tack is the simplest method for fixing both ends of the crossover yarn portion. Needless to say, the method for knitting the bag-like first edge and the second edge may be any method as long as the stitches can be arranged in a bag shape on the front and back needle beds. It is not limited to. For example, by using an extra or Milan rib, stitches can be arranged in a bag shape on the front and back needle beds.

  On the other hand, according to the manufacturing method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first knitted fabric can be obtained simply by cutting the crossover yarn portion and drawing the cut ends of the crossover yarn portion into the bags of the first edge portion and the second edge portion. A knitted fabric in which the portion and the second knitted fabric portion are separated by the separation portion can be manufactured. The cut end of the transition yarn portion is drawn into the inside of the bag of the first edge portion and the second edge portion and is not visible from the outside, and the cut end does not impair the appearance of the knitted fabric. Note that in order to draw the cut end of the crossover yarn portion into the bag, it is not necessary to perform a special operation using a tool such as a hook needle, and the knitted fabric may be simply pulled lightly in the knitting width direction.

<Embodiment 1>
≪Overall structure≫
In the first embodiment, a manufacturing example of the cardigan (knitted fabric) 100 shown in FIG. The cardigan 100 includes a right front body (first knitted fabric portion) 1, a left front body (second knitted fabric portion) 2, and a back body 4. The right front body 1 and the left front body are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction. A separation portion 3 is formed between the two. Further, a bag-like right edge (first edge) 11 is provided at the end of the right front body 1 on the separation part 3 side, and a bag-like left edge (first edge) is provided at the end of the left front body 2 on the separation part 3 side. Two edges) 21 are formed.

  The cardigan 100 of FIG. 1 (A) is obtained by processing the cardigan 100 knitted in the state shown in FIG. 1 (B) (what kind of processing is performed will be described later). The cardigan 100 of FIG. 1 (B) has a crossover thread portion 31 connecting the inside of the bag of the right edge portion 11 and the inside of the bag of the left edge portion 21 at a position corresponding to the placket in the separation portion 3 including the neck hole. It is different from the cardigan 100 of FIG.

  The transition yarn portion 31 is knitted with the same knitting yarn as the right front body 1, the left front body 2, the back body 4, the right edge 11, and the left edge 21. That is, the entire body is knitted with the same knitting yarn, including the transition yarn portion 31. One end of the transition yarn portion 31 is fixed inside the bag of the right edge portion 11, and the other end of the transition yarn portion 31 is fixed inside the bag of the left edge portion 21. As a result, the relative positions of the right front body 1 and the left front body 2 are held by the crossover thread portion 31. The body parts 1 and 2 and the edge parts 11 and 21 may be knitted with different knitting yarns using intarsia knitting, but the edge parts 11 and 21 and the crossover yarn part 31 are the same. Knitting with knitting yarn.

  The cardigan 100 of FIG. 1 (B) is subjected to a set operation after being washed. During washing, the crossover yarn part 31 holds the relative positions of the right front body 1 and the left front body 2, so that the cardigan 100 can be easily set after washing. When the setting operation is completed, a portion of the crossover yarn portion 31 that is disposed at the position of the separation portion 3 is cut, and the cardigan 100 is pulled lightly in the knitting width direction. By doing so, the left and right cut ends of the crossover yarn portion 31 are respectively drawn into the bag inside the right edge 11 and the bag inside the left edge 21, and the cardigan 100 shown in FIG. 1A is obtained. That is, there is a cut end of the transition yarn portion 31 inside the bag of the edge portions 11 and 21 of the cardigan 100 of FIG.

  In addition, if two places, the position in the vicinity of the right edge 11 and the position in the vicinity of the left edge 21, of the transition yarn portion 31 are cut, the left and right cut ends of the transition yarn portion 31 are edged by the contraction of the transition yarn portion 31. It can also be pulled inside the 11 and 21 bags. In any case, no special tools are required to handle the cut edge, and no effort is required.

≪Knitting method≫
As shown in the knitting procedure shown in FIG. 2, the body part of the body of the cardigan 100 of FIG. Assuming that “s” in FIG. 2 is the knitting start point, the cardigan 100 is such that the right front body 1 → the right edge 11 → the crossover thread 31 → the left edge 21 → the left front body 2 → the back body 4 → the right front body 1 →. Thus, it is possible to knitting in a counterclockwise direction as a whole. By knitting the cardigan 100 in a certain direction, the entire face of the cardigan 100 can be aligned, and the cardigan 100 having a good appearance can be knitted. Of course, left front body 2 (first knitted fabric portion) → left side edge portion 21 (first edge portion) → crossover yarn portion 31 → right side edge portion 11 (second edge portion) → right front body 1 (second knitted fabric portion) → ... and so on, can be organized in the clockwise direction as a whole.

  Here, in FIG. 2, the front portion of the right edge 11 is knitted before the rear portion, whereas the rear portion of the left edge 21 is knitted before the front portion. This is because when the cardigan 100 is viewed from the front side, the eyes of the respective parts 1, 11, 2, and 21 are aligned. Depending on the knitting yarn used for knitting, the appearance of the cardigan 100 may not be impaired even if the eyes are not aligned. In that case, either the front part or the rear part of both edge parts 11 and 21 may be knitted first.

  Next, a specific knitting process of the transition yarn portion 31 will be described with reference to FIG. In the knitting process diagram of FIG. 3, knitting using a two-bed flat knitting machine that includes a front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FB) and a rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BB) that extend in the left-right direction and face each other in the front-rear direction. An example will be described. In FIG. 3, “S + number” indicates the number of the knitting process, ○ indicates the old stitch, ● indicates the stitch knitted in each knitting process, V indicates the tack, and ▽ indicates the yarn feeder 9. In FIG. 3, the rear body knitting is omitted for ease of explanation.

  S0 shows a state in which the front body is knitted for one course according to the knitting procedure of FIG. A procedure for knitting the next course of the front body from this state will be described.

The knitting procedure can be divided into the following steps α to ε.
[Step α]... First knitting row 1 s constituting the first knitted fabric portion 1 is knitted toward the separation portion 3.
[Step β] ... The first bag-shaped stitch row 11 s constituting the first edge 11 is knitted following the end of the first knitted fabric portion 1 on the side of the separation portion 3.
[Step γ]... The yarn feeder 9 is moved to extend the knitting yarn 9Y toward the end of the second knitted fabric portion 2 on the side of the separation portion 3, and the yarn 9Y fed from the yarn feeder 9 is supplied. Is formed in a state where a part thereof crosses the inside of the bag of the first bag-like stitch row 11s, thereby forming the transition yarn portion 31.
[Step δ] ... The second bag-like stitch row 21s constituting the second edge 21 is knitted at a position overlapping with the stretched region of the jumping yarn portion 31, and a part of the jumping yarn portion 31 is the second bag-like stitch. It is assumed that the inside of the bag in the row 21s is crossed.
[Step ε]... The second stitch row 2 s constituting the second knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted in the direction away from the separating portion 3.

  In S1, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction approaching the separating portion 3 side (the direction in which the left front body 2 is present), and the first stitch row 1s constituting the right front body 1 is knitted into an FB (step α). Moreover, in S1, the stitch row | line | column which comprises the front side part of the bag-like right side edge part 11 was knitted into FB following the edge part 1 side of the 1st stitch row | line | column 1s.

  In S2, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction away from the separating portion 3 (the direction in which the right front body 1 is located), and the stitch row constituting the rear portion of the bag-like right edge 11 is knitted into BB. The first bag-shaped stitch row 11s in which the stitches are arranged in a bag shape on the FB and the BB is knitted by the second half portion of S1 and S2 (step β).

  In S3, after fixing the knitting yarn 9Y fed from the yarn feeder 9 to the stitches near the end on the separating portion 3 side in the first stitch row 1s by tacking, the yarn feeder 9 is moved to move the knitting yarn 9Y. Extend toward the position of the left front body 2 at the end of the separation part 3 side (step γ). As a result, a part of the knitting yarn 9Y fed from the yarn feeder 9 crosses the inside of the first bag-like stitch row 11s. Furthermore, in S3, the knitting yarn 9Y was fixed to the stitches in the vicinity of the end portion of the left front body 2 on the side of the separation portion 3 by tacking. As a result, a crossover thread portion 31 is formed in which the start end portion and the end end portion are respectively fixed to the right front body 1 and the left front body 2 by tacking.

  Here, the start end portion of the transition yarn portion 31 by the tack may be fixed at the end of S2 in which the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction away from the separation portion 3, or the end portion of the transition yarn portion 31 by the tack may be fixed. May be performed at the beginning of the next S4. Further, the number of tacks may be increased so that the start end portion and the end end portion of the crossover yarn portion 31 are more firmly fixed. Note that the fixing of the crossover yarn portion 31 is not limited to tucking, but can be performed by knit or additional splitting.

  In S4, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction approaching the separating portion 3 (the direction in which the right front body 1 is present), and the rear side portion of the bag-like left edge 21 is overlapped in the extending direction of the crossover yarn portion 31. The stitch row to be formed was knitted into BB.

  In S5, after the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction away from the separating portion 3 (the direction in which the left front body 2 is present), the front side portion of the bag-like left edge 21 is knitted, and then the second stitch row constituting the left front body 2 2s was knitted (the first half of S4 and S5 was step δ, and the second half of S5 was step ε).

  After S5, the back body 4 shown in FIG. 2 was knitted. As a result, the body part of the body of the cardigan 100 of FIG. 1B can be knitted for one course. Thereafter, the cardigan 100 of FIG. 1B can be completed by sequentially repeating the knitting of S1 to S5 of FIG. 3 and the knitting of the back body.

  2 and 3 described above, the body of the cardigan 100 can be knitted using the same yarn feeder 9. That is, the number of yarn feeders to be used can be reduced as compared with the conventional knitting method in which the separating portion is bundled by using the insertion yarn, and accordingly, labor for yarn insertion and yarn extraction can be reduced. As a result, the productivity of the cardigan 100 can be improved as compared with the prior art.
