Description

  The present invention relates to an inner increasing method for forming an increased number of stitches inward of the knitting width direction end of a knitted fabric when using a flat knitting machine, and a knitted fabric knitted by applying the method. About.

  Conventionally, in the process of knitting a knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, there has been a case where an additional stitch is formed in order to knit the knitted fabric into a desired shape. As a method of forming such additional stitches, a plurality of stitches at the ends in the knitting width direction are moved outward in the knitting width direction to generate empty needles in the knitting area of the knitted fabric, and the stitches are formed on these empty needles. Thus, a method of increasing the knitting width is known.

  However, in this increase method, the yarn is fed to the empty needle in which the stitch of the previous course does not exist, so that an increase stitch formed by the hook is formed, and thus a hole is easily generated at the formation portion of the increase stitch. In particular, if the increased stitches continue in the knitting width direction, the holes may become large and the appearance of the knitted fabric may be impaired. For this reason, normally, two or more additional stitches are not adjacent to each other except when a hole is generated in the knitted fabric as a pattern.

  However, in a knitted fabric having a rib structure, for example, when performing knitting to once reduce the knitting width and then increase the knitting width, the conventional method of increasing the stitches one stitch at a time, There is a difference in the inclination angle of the rib line between the portion where the width is increased. As a result, there is a problem that the knitted fabric has different designs between the portion where the knitting width is increased and the portion where the knitting width is reduced. This is because when the knitting width is reduced, a plurality of adjacent stitches can be reduced at one time, whereas when the knitting width is increased, it is difficult to form a plurality of adjacent increasing stitches for the reason described above. Because.

  In view of this, the present applicant has proposed an internal increase method in which even if a plurality of stitches are increased at once, a hole is not formed at the formation portion of the increase stitch (see Patent Document 1). In this increase method, two additional stitch formation locations are set across one stitch, the knitting yarn is extended from one of the knitting widths, and an additional stitch consisting of hooks is formed at the additional stitch formation location on the other side. An increase stitch formed by a hook is formed at an increase formation position on one side (in particular, see steps 3 to 5 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 of Patent Document 1). And generation | occurrence | production of a hole is suppressed by the knitting yarn hung so that both formation locations could reciprocate.

JP 2003-3352 A

  However, in the knitted fabric to which the increasing method in Patent Document 1 is applied, the appearance of the increased stitch formation portion is greatly different depending on whether the knitted fabric is viewed from the front side or the back side. For example, FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged photograph of a knitted fabric in which an increased stitch is formed by the method of increasing in Patent Document 1 for a 2 × 2 rib structure, and (A) is a photograph of the knitted fabric viewed from the front side. (B) is a photograph of the knitted fabric viewed from the back side. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the appearance of the back side of the knitted fabric is not as beautiful as the front side. In normal use, the appearance of the back side of the knitted fabric is not particularly a problem, but in the use of reversible, the appearance of the back side of the knitted fabric is also an important factor. For this reason, although a new internal increase method that solves such problems is desired, no such internal increase method has been proposed at present.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to increase the difference in appearance between the front and back of the knitted fabric while preventing the formation of holes in the formation area of the increased stitches, and this The purpose is to provide a knitted fabric knitted by applying the inner increase method. Another object of the present invention is to reduce the knitting width and then increase the knitting width, when performing the knitting to increase the knitting width, the rib line at the portion where the knitting width is reduced, and the inclination of the rib line at the portion where the knitting width is increased. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inner increasing method for making the same as possible and a knitted fabric knitted by applying the inner increasing method.

The increase method in the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, at least one of the front and back needle beds being rackable to the left and right, and capable of transferring stitches between the front and back needle beds. The present invention relates to an inner increasing method for forming an additional stitch on the inner side of the knitted fabric in the knitting width direction. Then, the increase method in the present invention is locked to the needle bed, and the stitch serving as a reference of the position where the formation of the additional stitch in the knitting width direction is started is locked to the same needle bed as the first stitch, and the additional stitch The knitting including the following steps is performed when the stitch serving as the reference of the position where the formation of the end point is set as the end stitch.
(1) A preparation step of forming a new stitch following the start point stitch and the end point stitch, and forming a stitch on a knitting needle located substantially opposite to the knitting needle where the start point stitch and the end point stitch are locked.
(2) A step of forming an additional stitch for forming a stitch to be an additional stitch.
(3) Additional stitch arrangement step of allocating the stitches formed in the preparation step and the stitches formed in the additional stitch formation step in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed so as not to overlap by racking the needle beds and transferring the stitches .
Note that the allocation so that the stitches formed in the preparation process and the stitches formed in the additional stitch formation process do not overlap in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed may be performed by directly transferring these stitches. However, after forming a new stitch following these stitches, the new stitch may be transferred.

  Here, the number of additional stitches formed in the increasing method in the present invention may be singular or plural. When there is a single additional stitch, the start stitch and the end stitch may be defined as the same stitch. In that case, it is preferable to form the stitches first and the stitches later in the preparation step.

  As one form of the increase method in the present invention, when there are two additional stitches, in the preparation step, the stitches on the start point stitch side, the stitches on the end point stitch side, the stitches on the end point stitch side, and the stitches on the start point stitch side are successively formed in this order. It is preferable to do.

  Further, as one form of the increase method in the present invention, in the case where the increase stitch is moved to the end stitch side in the knitting width direction in the increase stitch arrangement step, the end point stitch formed in the increase stitch formation step before the increase stitch arrangement step. It is preferable to perform a process of forming a new stitch continuously on the side stitch and increasing this new stitch.

  The above-described increase method in the present invention can be applied to any part of the knitted fabric to be knitted, but there is a preferable knitting condition particularly when increasing in the 2 × 2 rib structure. Specifically, when a new back row and front row are added during the knitting of a 2 × 2 rib structure in which the front and back rows are alternately arranged two by two, the start of the new front row 2 After increasing the eyes, increase the second eye that will be the beginning of the new back row. And when increasing a stitch, it is preferable to carry out based on the conditions shown below.

<When increasing the second eye, which is the beginning of a new table row>
In the preparation step, a stitch arranged on one side in the knitting width direction on one needle bed is defined as a starting stitch, a stitch adjacent to the other in the knitting width direction with respect to the starting stitch as an end stitch, and in the additional stitch forming step , Forming an additional stitch to be the beginning of the table row. Then, in the additional stitch arranging step, the position of the additional stitch that is the starting end of these table rows is moved toward the end stitch in the knitting width direction on one needle bed.

<When increasing the second eye that will be the beginning of a new back row>
Among the additional stitches transferred in the process of forming the start edge of the table row, the additional stitches arranged on one side in the knitting width direction are defined as the starting stitch, and the additional stitches arranged on the other side are defined as the end stitches. In the forming step, an additional stitch serving as a starting end of the back stitch row is formed. Then, in the additional stitch arranging step, the position of the additional stitch that becomes the starting end of the back stitch row is moved to the terminal stitch side in the knitting width direction on the other needle bed, and the position of the increasing stitch that becomes the starting end of the stitch row Is moved to one needle bed.

  On the other hand, the knitted fabric of the present invention uses a flat knitting machine that has at least a pair of front and back needle beds, at least one of the front and back needle beds can be racked left and right, and the stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds. The knitted fabric is formed in such a manner that an additional stitch is formed inside the end in the knitting width direction. The knitted fabric of the present invention has a base stitch, a close stitch close to the base stitch in the knitting width direction, and an additional stitch formed on the transition yarn that directly connects the base stitch and the close stitch. .

  According to the increasing method in the present invention, the knitted fabric of the present invention having the base stitch, the adjacent stitch, and the additional stitch formed on the transition yarn directly connecting these stitches can be knitted. In the increase method in the present invention, when forming the increase stitch, first, a stitch is formed, and an increase stitch is formed as a new stitch following the stitch, and this stitch becomes a transition yarn in the knitted fabric of the present invention. In this way, by forming the increased stitches via the transition yarns, holes are not generated at the increased stitch forming locations, and the front and back of the locations are also improved.

  When the number of stitches to be formed is two, by limiting the formation procedure of the stitches and stitches in the preparation step, the stitches on which the respective stitches are formed are not directly connected to each other. As a result, it is easy to distribute the stitches and stitches in the stitch arraying process.

  If a new stitch is formed continuously to the stitch on the end stitch side formed in the additional stitch forming step, and this new stitch is increased, the movement allowance when moving the increased stitch in the knitting width direction becomes large. The movement of the additional eye becomes easy.

  Further, by limiting the formation conditions of the additional stitches in the 2 × 2 rib structure, the rib line can be finished finely (see the embodiment described later). In particular, it is possible to make the appearance of the rib line at the portion where the increase has been made the same as the rib line at the location where the reduction has been made.

(A) is a loop diagram at the time when S3 in FIG. 1 ends, and (B) is a loop diagram at the time when S6 in FIG. 1 ends. (A) is a loop diagram at the time when S10 in FIG. 1 ends, and (B) is a loop diagram at the time when S13 in FIG. 2 ends. It is the elements on larger scale of the knitted fabric which has the 2x2 rib structure knitted by embodiment, Comprising: (A) shows the case where a knitted fabric is seen from the front side, (B) shows the case where the knitted fabric is seen from the back side. It is a partial enlarged photograph of a knitted fabric having a 2 × 2 rib structure knitted by the conventional method of increasing, (A) when the knitted fabric is viewed from the front side, (B) when the knitted fabric is viewed from the back side Indicates.

  Hereinafter, an increase method in the present invention using a two-bed flat knitting machine in which at least one of the front and back needle beds can be racked left and right and the stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds will be described with reference to the drawings. . Of course, the flat knitting machine used may be a four-bed flat knitting machine.

  FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are knitting process diagrams showing the knitting procedure for increasing the inner number according to this embodiment, where FB is the front needle bed, BB is the rear needle bed, and at are positions of the knitting needles. , ● indicates a newly knitted stitch in each knitting step, ○ indicates an old stitch locked to the knitting needle, and ▼ indicates a yarn feeder. Here, for the sake of explanation, in FIG. 1, the number of knitting needles is displayed smaller than the actual number.

  3 and 4 are loop diagrams showing the state of stitches at key points in the knitting process diagram. The alphabet in the figure corresponds to the position of the knitting needle in FIGS. In the figure, the stitches are shown in a V shape, the stitches knitted with FB are indicated by thick lines, and the stitches knitted with BB are indicated by thin lines.

  First, in S0 of FIG. 1, BB knitting needles f, g, j, k, n, o, r, s and FB knitting needles e, h, i, l, m, p, q, t are used. A state in which a × 2 rib structure is formed is shown. In the knitted fabric having the 2 × 2 rib structure, the start edge of the new front row and the start end of the back row are formed to increase the knitting width of the knitted fabric.

  In S1, the yarn feeder is moved leftward from the state of S0, and the rib structure is knitted from the FB knitting needle t to the BB knitting needle n. The formation of additional stitches is started in the steps after S2 following S1. In forming the additional stitches, first, as shown in FIG. 1, an increasing stitch serving as the starting end of the front row is formed, and subsequently, an increasing stitch serving as the starting end of the back stitch row is formed as shown in FIG.

  Here, the stitch (front stitch) locked to the FB knitting needle m in S1 is set as the starting stitch 1 that defines the reference position for starting the formation of the additional stitch, and is locked to the FB knitting needle l. The stitch (front stitch) is set as an end point stitch 2 that defines a reference position for finishing the formation of the additional stitch. Note that the front and back stitches in this embodiment refer to the state of the stitches in the knitted fabric viewed from the FB side.

  In S2, the yarn feeder is once swung in the right direction and then moved in the left direction. When moving in the left direction, the stitch 3 is formed on the knitting needle m of the BB, and the stitch is formed on the knitting needle l of the FB. 4 is formed. In S3, when the yarn feeder is reversed and moved rightward, the stitch 5 is formed on the knitting needle l of the BB and the stitch 6 is formed on the knitting needle m of the FB. FIG. 3A shows a loop diagram of the knitted fabric when the knitting of S3 is completed.

  In S4, the yarn feeder is moved to the left, and a new stitch 7 (additional stitch) following the stitch 3 formed on the knitting needle m of the BB is replaced with a new stitch 8 (following the stitch 5 formed on the knitting needle l of the BB) ( (New stitch) and a new stitch following the existing stitch (the stitches of the knitting needles k, j, g, f of the BB and the stitches i, h, e of the FB) are formed.

  In S5, the yarn feeder is moved rightward to form stitches on the knitting needles e, h, i of the FB and the knitting needles f, g, j, k, l of the BB. The stitch 9 formed on the knitting needle l of the BB is a stitch (additional stitch) newly formed following the stitch 8. The stitch 9 formed in S5 and the stitch 7 formed in S4 described above are back stitches knitted with BB, but are referred to as stitches at the start of the front row. This is because the stitches 7 and 9 are finally transferred to the FB as shown in S10 to be described later, and the stitches newly formed after these stitches 7 and 9 are front stitches. That is, the stitches 7 and 9 are stitches that are exceptionally back stitches in the newly formed stitch row.

  In S6, the yarn feeder is once swung to the left and then moved to the right. When this rightward movement is performed, a new stitch 10 following the stitch 4 and a new stitch 11 following the stitch 6 are moved. Then, stitches are formed on the knitting needles n, o, r, and s of the BB and the knitting needles p, q, and t of the FB. A loop diagram of the knitted fabric when the knitting of S6 is completed is shown in FIG.

  In S7 to S10, the stitch transfer and stitching of the BB are combined, and the stitches locked to the knitting needles e, h, i of the FB and the knitting needles f, g, j, k of the BB are locked in S6. The second stitch is moved to the outside in the knitting width direction (left side in the drawing). In S7 to S10, the additional stitches 9 and 7 formed on the BB in S6 are moved to the knitting needles j and k of the FB, respectively. By these S7 to S10, the stitches are distributed so as not to overlap in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed. A loop diagram of the knitted fabric when the knitting of S10 is completed is shown in FIG.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the hook 3 and the hook 5 formed in S2 are not directly connected to each other, and the movements of the hooks 3 and 5 are not constrained to each other. , 9 can be moved easily. Further, since the additional stitch 9 is continuous with the hook stitch 5 via the additional stitch 8 in the wale direction, the movement allowance in the knitting width direction is large and is not stretched during the movement.

  Next, according to the knitting process diagram of FIG. 2, a second stitch serving as the starting end of the back stitch row is formed. In increasing the stitches that will be the starting ends of the back row, as shown in S11 of FIG. 2, the additional stitches 7 and 9 that are formed as the starting ends of the front row are set as the start stitch 1 and the end stitch 2, respectively. In S11 to S13, preparations for forming the additional stitches are made, and in S14, the increasing stitches 7 and 8 are formed. As a reference, FIG. 4B shows a loop diagram of the knitted fabric when the knitting of S13 is completed. After forming the additional stitches 7 and 8, the stitches are formed and the formed stitches are arranged in S15 to S20. With this arrangement, the start row position of the front row and the start row position of the back row are sorted so as not to overlap.

  When the knitting steps S11 to S20 shown in FIG. 2 are completed, as shown in S20, a new table row is added to the position of the knitting needles h and i of the FB, and a new table row is added to the positions of the knitting needles j and k of the BB. A 2 × 2 rib structure with an added back row is knitted. Note that the stitches locked to the knitting needles h and i are new stitches formed continuously from the increasing stitches that are the starting ends of the table rows, and are not the increasing stitches themselves. Similarly, the stitches locked to the knitting needles j and k are not the additional stitches that are the starting ends of the back stitch rows.

  As described above, when the increased stitch is formed by the above-described increasing method, the increased stitch 7 includes the stitch right next to the stitch 6 (base stitch) and the stitch 4 adjacent to this stitch. As shown in FIG. Further, the additional stitch 8 is also formed as a transition yarn (hook 5) that directly connects the stitch 6 (base stitch) and the stitch 4 adjacent to the stitch 6.

  Further, FIG. 5 shows a partially enlarged photograph of a portion where an additional stitch is formed in the knitted fabric knitted by the inner increasing method shown in the embodiment. 5A is a photograph of the knitted fabric viewed from the front side (that is, the FB side of FIG. 1), and FIG. 5B is a photograph of the knitted fabric viewed from the back side. As is apparent from FIG. 5, the 2 × 2 rib structure knitted by the increasing method of the present embodiment has an appearance that is comparable to the front side even on the back side of the knitted fabric. This good appearance is clear when compared with FIG. 6 showing a photograph of a 2 × 2 rib structure knitted by the conventional method of increasing the inner diameter.

  In addition, although embodiment mentioned above showed the example which applied the increase method of this invention to the knitted fabric which has 2x2 rib structure, of course, other rib structures (For example, 1x1 rib structure, The present invention can also be applied to a knitted fabric having a 2 × 1 rib structure) and a plain knitted fabric. Even in such a case, it is possible to knitting a knitted fabric with good appearance on both sides.
