Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted fabric for knitting a knitted fabric having a three-layer structure having an outer knitted fabric portion knitted in a cylindrical shape and an inner knitted fabric portion knitted inside the cylinder. About.

  Conventionally, knitwear (knitted fabric) having a multi-layered structure including a cylindrical outer knitted fabric portion and an inner knitted fabric portion knitted inside the cylinder is known. For example, a cardigan having a pocket is a typical example of knitwear having a three-layer structure in the thickness direction at the position of the pocket.

  When the above-described three-layer structure portion is knitted with a two-bed flat knitting machine including a one-side needle bed and an opposite-side needle bed, one knitted fabric portion before and after the outer knitted fabric portion (hereinafter referred to as one knitted fabric portion). The other side knitting needle (hereinafter, the other side outer side) is locked to the other knitting needle of the other side needle bed, and the inner side knitted fabric portion is It is locked to one knitting needle (a knitting needle located between adjacent stitches on one side outside) on the side needle bed. In order to knit one side outside from this state, it is necessary to leave the inner knitted fabric portion locked to the one side needle bed in the other side needle bed. This is because if one side outside is knitted while the inner knitted fabric portion is locked to the one side needle bed, the one side outer portion and the inner knitted fabric portion are closed by the intersection of the crossover yarns. In addition, when knitting the inner knitted fabric portion knitted inside the cylinder of the outer knitted fabric portion, it is not necessary to leave the one side outside to the other side needle bed.

  On the other hand, when the outer knitted fabric portion has a structure including a back stitch (for example, a rib structure), both the one side needle bed and the other side needle bed are used (the back stitch in this specification is the outer knitting). This is the stitch that becomes the back stitch when viewed from the outside of the cylinder of the ground part). However, when one side outside including the back stitch is knitted by needle knitting using every other stitch, the stitches on the inner knitted fabric portion are entrusted to the empty needle formed between the stitches on the other side outside. For this reason, there is no empty needle on the other side needle bed for making the back side outside one side. In other words, the back stitch cannot be made outside the one side in the needle knitting every other stitch. Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1, when the inner knitted fabric portion is deposited on the other side needle bed in order to knitting one side outside of the tissue including the back stitch, the adjacent knitted fabrics of the inner knitted fabric portion are overlapped with each other to create the inner knitted fabric. The number of stitches in the knitting width direction of the base portion is made to be about half. In this way, by reducing the number of stitches in the inner knitted fabric part located inside the pocket that is difficult to see from the front side of the knitted fabric, it is possible to secure empty needles on the other needle bed and knitting on one side outside including the back stitch. ing.

Japanese Patent No. 2604653

  In the knitting method of Patent Document 1, the number of stitches in the inner knitted fabric portion in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric is about half of the number of stitches on one side outside in the same range, and the size of the stitches in the inner knitted fabric portion is one. Since the stitches on the outside are nearly double, the appearance of the two will be different. In particular, when knitting with a coarse gauge flat knitting machine, the difference in appearance between the one side outside and the inside knitted fabric portion is easily noticeable. Although it is difficult to see the inside of the pocket from the front side of the knitted fabric, it is difficult to cause a problem, but it is desirable to match the appearance of one side outside and the inside knitted fabric portion.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its purposes is to knitting a three-layer knitted fabric by needle knitting using alternate knitting needles in a two-bed flat knitting machine. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric that can make the outer knitted fabric portion and the inner knitted fabric portion look the same even if a back stitch is formed on the outer knitted fabric portion outside the three-layer structure. .

The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention comprises one side needle bed, the other side needle bed facing it, and a yarn feeder for supplying knitting yarn to these needle beds, and stitches between both needle beds. Using a two-bed flat knitting machine capable of transferring, a knitted fabric comprising a three-layer structure portion having an outer knitted fabric portion knitted into a cylindrical shape and an inner knitted fabric portion knitted inside the tube The present invention relates to a knitting method for knitting fabric. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, one side outside of the outer knitted fabric portion that is locked to every other knitting needle of the one side needle bed and every other knitting needle of the other side needle bed. The inner knitted fabric portion is a knitting needle within the knitting width outside the one side of the one side needle bed, and the knitting needle where the one side outside is not locked. When knitting a new stitch row following the one side outside from the locked state, when forming a plurality of backs continuously or intermittently on the stitch row, the back side is formed under the following assumptions: The following steps α to δ are repeated every time the film is formed.
[Premise]... The direction in which the stitch row is formed in the knitting width direction outside the one side is the forming direction, and the opposite direction is the starting end direction.
[Step α] ... Some stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion including the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion on the start end direction side relative to the target stitch that is the stitch planned to form the back stitch among the one side outer portions. The other side needle bed is locked, and the remaining stitches are locked to the one side needle bed, so that a blank needle is secured within the knitting width outside the other side of the other side needle bed. .
[Step β] The target stitch is transferred to the empty needle secured in the step α.
[Step γ]... The yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction or the starting end direction to form a back stitch following the target stitch transferred in the step β.
[Step δ]... The yarn feeder is positioned closer to the starting end side than the back stitch. Here, when the yarn feeder is moved in the starting direction in the step γ to form the back stitch, the yarn feeder is positioned in the starting end direction with respect to the back stitch, so that the step δ is completed simultaneously with the step γ. On the other hand, when the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction in step γ, step δ is performed in which the yarn feeder is moved in the starting direction.

  Note that the stitches (a part of the inner knitted fabric portion) to be locked to the other side needle bed in step α are the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion within the movement range of the yarn feeder in steps α to δ. . The stitch of the inner knitted fabric portion on the start end direction side or the forming direction side of the moving range may be on either the one side needle bed or the other side needle bed.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, by forming the back stitch on the one side outside by the steps α to δ and repeating the formation of the face on the one side outside in combination. And knitting the outside of the one side made of a rib structure.

  Here, the formation of the outer surface of the one side may be performed as usual. That is, after the stitch of the inner knitted fabric portion within the moving range of the yarn feeder is transferred to the empty needle of the other side needle bed within the outer width of the other side, the one side outer stitch is transferred to the one side needle bed. If a new stitch following the stitch is formed while being locked, the new stitch becomes a front stitch.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the rib structure can be a 1 × 1 rib structure or a 2 × 2 rib structure.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, when a knitted fabric having a three-layer structure is knitted by a needle knitting using a knitting needle arranged every other stitch on a two-bed flat knitting machine, The back can be formed. It does not leave all the stitches of the inner knitted fabric part to the other side needle bed where the other side outside is locked as in the conventional knitting method, but only some stitches are left to the other side needle bed, This is because the empty needle is secured within the knitting width outside the other side of the other side needle bed. By forming the lining on the one side outside in this way, a texture pattern such as a rib structure or a garter structure can be formed on the outer knitted fabric portion including the one side outside. Moreover, even if the back is formed on the one side outside, the appearance of the one side outside and the inside knitted fabric portion can be made uniform. Further, by knitting with a needle knitting using knitting needles arranged every other stitch, a knitted fabric suitable for the gauge of the flat knitting machine can be knitted.

(A) is the schematic of the cardigan (knitted fabric) described in embodiment, (B) is BB sectional drawing of (A). It is a knitting process figure which concerns on the knitting method of the knitted fabric described in embodiment.

  Hereinafter, an example of knitting a cardigan with a pocket (knitted fabric) by applying the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The flat knitting machine used in this embodiment has a pair of front and back needle beds that extend in the left-right direction and face each other in the front-rear direction, the rear needle bed can be racked left and right, and the stitches between the front and back needle beds are It is a two-bed flat knitting machine that can be transferred. This flat knitting machine has a plurality of cam systems in its carriage, and can perform a plurality of knitting operations by one movement of the carriage.

  In the cardigan 10 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, a pocket 3 is formed in a cylindrical body 1. As shown in the BB cross-sectional view of FIG. 1B, this cardigan 10 is a cylindrical outer knitted fabric composed of a one-side external 1F and another-side external 1B that are knitted in a cylindrical shape at the position of the pocket 3. It has a three-layer structure including a portion 1T and an inner knitted fabric portion 2F that is knitted inside the outer knitted fabric portion 1T and joined to the one-side outer portion 1F without sewing. Each of the outer knitted fabric portion 1T and the inner knitted fabric portion 2F includes a rib structure, and is knitted by needle knitting knitted with every other knitting needle. Hereinafter, a specific knitting procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

<Rib knitting on one side outside 1F>
FIG. 2 is a knitting process diagram showing a knitting process of a portion having a three-layer structure. The “S + number” described in the left column of FIG. 2 is the number of the knitting process, the horizontal arrow described in the right column is the moving direction of the yarn feeder, and the vertical or diagonal arrow is the direction of transfer. (The arrow with “K” indicates that knitting is performed as the yarn feeder moves). The knitting operation in the right column is performed first on the left side of the page. In the middle column where the actual knitting state is shown, ◯ indicates a stitch that is locked to the needle bed, ● indicates a stitch that is knitted in each knitting step, and ▼ indicates a yarn feeder. Further, in the middle column, the one-side exterior 1F is indicated by a thick line, the other-side exterior 1B is indicated by a thin line, and the inner knitted fabric portion 2F is indicated by a center line. Further, in FIG. 2, the right direction on the paper surface along the knitting width direction is referred to as “formation direction RS”, and the left direction on the paper surface is referred to as “starting direction LS”. In FIG. 2, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the number of stitches is less than the actual one, and most of the one side outside 1F and the other side outside 1B are omitted. 1F, 1B stitches continue.

  In S0 of FIG. 2, the knitting needles A, C, E, G, and I of the front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FB) have the stitches of the one-side external 1F, and the knitting needles B, D, F, H, and J A state is shown in which the 2F stitch is locked, and the other external 1B is locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J of the rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BB). From this S0 state, a new stitch row following this one-side external 1F locked to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I of the FB (this stitch row also becomes the one-side external 1F) is knitted. At that time, the outer side following the stitches of the knitting needles A, E, and I of the FB is formed and the back side following the stitches of the knitting needles C and G of the FB is formed, thereby knitting the one side external 1F of the 1 × 1 rib structure.

  In S1, among the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F, the stitches locked to the knitting needles B, F, H, and J are transferred to the knitting needles A, E, G, and I of the BB, respectively. In S1, the stitch 21 of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F (refer to the knitting needle B of the FB in S0) on the start end direction LS side with respect to the target stitch 11 scheduled to form the back stitch is stored in the BB, which will be described later. When knit knitting is performed by moving the yarn feeder in S2, it is possible to prevent the one-side outside 1F and the inside knitted fabric portion 2F from being closed due to the crossing of the crossover yarns. Further, in this S1, by leaving the stitch 22 of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F adjacent to the formation direction RS of the target stitch 11 on the knitting needle D of the FB, the back stitch 12 (S2 of the one side external 1F is placed on the knitting needle C of the BB. Can be secured.

  The stitch transfer from FB to BB performed in S1 is performed by depositing a part of the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F in the BB, and in the next S2, the one-side outer 1F and the inner knitted fabric portion 2F are moved to each other. This is performed in order to secure an empty needle near the target stitch 11 in the BB while avoiding being closed due to the crossing of the crossover yarns. Therefore, unlike the illustration in S1, the knitting needle C of the BB may be secured as an empty needle, and the stitch 21 may be transferred to the BB at a minimum. For example, among the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F, the stitch 21 may be transferred to the knitting needle A of the BB, and the remaining stitches may be locked to the FB. In addition, the stitch 21 and the stitch 22 may be transferred to the knitting needle A and the knitting needle E of the BB, respectively, and the stitches of the remaining inner knitted fabric portion 2F may be kept locked to the FB.

  In S2, the target stitch 11 of the one-side external 1F that is locked to the knitting needle C of the FB is transferred to the knitting needle C of the BB, and then the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS to be locked to the knitting needle A of the FB. The front stitches following the stitches of the one-side external 1F and the back stitches 12 following the target stitches 11 of the one-side external 1F locked to the knitting needles C of the BB are formed. The front and back stitches may be knitted at different timings. For example, when the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS, the yarn feeder is passed through the position of the knitting needle C without forming the back stitch with the knitting needle C, and then the yarn feeder is reversed and moved in the starting direction LS. A back stitch may be formed on the knitting needle C. In this case, the front and back stitches are knitted at different timings, and the back stitch of the knitting needle C is in a twisted state.

  In S3, the back stitch 12 formed on the knitting needle C of BB in S2 is transferred to the knitting needle C of FB. Further, in S3, after the yarn feeder is moved in the starting end direction LS, the stitch 22 of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F left on the knitting needle D of the FB without being transferred in S1 is transferred to the knitting needle C of the BB. The yarn feeder may be moved before the back stitch 12 is transferred, but in this case, the back stitch 12 becomes a twisted stitch.

  In the next S4 to S6, the stitch of the knitting needle G of the FB in S3 is considered as the target stitch 11, and the formation of the front and back stitches of the one-side external 1F is repeated once more in the same manner as S1 to S3. First, in S4, the stitch 22 of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F transferred to the knitting needle G of BB in S1 is transferred to the knitting needle H of the FB originally locked, and formed by the transfer. The target stitch 11 is transferred to the empty needle. Here, the stitch 22 transferred to the knitting needle H of the FB is a stitch adjacent to the forming direction RS of the target stitch 11 to be locked to the knitting needle G of the FB at the time of S0. The stitch 21 to be locked is the stitch of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F that is adjacent to the start end direction LS side with respect to the target stitch 11 locked to the knitting needle G of the FB at the time of S0.

  In S5, the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS, the front stitches following the stitches of the one-side external 1F locked to the knitting needle E of the FB, and the target stitches of the one-side external 1F locked to the knitting needle G of the BB A back stitch 12 following 11 is formed.

  In S6, the back stitch 12 formed on the knitting needle G of BB in S5 is transferred to the knitting needle G of FB. Further, in S6, after the yarn feeder is moved in the starting direction LS, the stitch 22 of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F stored in the knitting needle H of the FB in S4 is transferred to the knitting needle G of the BB.

  After S6, the one side external 1F of the rib structure can be knitted by repeating the knitting similar to the knitting described in S4 to S6.

  According to the knitting process described above, a 1 × 1 rib structure can be knitted on the one-side external 1F without reducing the number of stitches in the knitting width direction of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F as in Patent Document 1. As a result, the appearance of the one side outside 1F and the inside knitted fabric portion 2F can be made the same.

<Rib knitting of the other side external 1B>
In order to make the other side outer side 1B into a rib structure, first, the one side outer side 1F and a part of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F which are locked to the FB are moved, and the one side outer side 1F and the inner side knitted fabric portion 2F are locked. The width is increased, and empty needles are formed within the knitting widths of the one-side outer portion 1F and the inner knitted fabric portion 2F. Then, after the stitch to be formed on the back side of the stitches on the other side external 1B is transferred to the empty needle, the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS (or the starting end direction LS), and the other side aligned in the knitting width direction. A stitch row for one course of the external 1B may be knitted.

<Rib knitting of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F>
In order to make the inner knitted fabric portion 2F into a rib structure, first, among the stitches of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F, the stitch to be formed with the back stitch is transferred to the blank needle of BB within the knitting width of the other outer side 1B. Then, it is preferable that the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS (or the start end direction LS) to knit the stitch row for one course of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F aligned in the knitting width direction. For example, the stitch of the inner knitted fabric portion 2F locked to the knitting needles D, H of the FB is transferred from the state of S0 in FIG. 2 to the knitting needles C, G of the BB, and the yarn feeder is moved in the forming direction RS, The stitch row for one course is knitted.

  In addition, this invention is not necessarily limited to embodiment mentioned above, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it can change suitably and can implement. For example, by using the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a rib structure other than 1 × 1 (such as 2 × 2 or 3 × 2) or one side external 1F of a garter structure can be knitted. In addition, if the knitting method of the present invention is applied, the inner knitted fabric portion has a two-layer structure inside the one side and the other side as well as the outer knitted fabric portion of the two-layer structure composed of one side outside and the other side outside. The knitted fabric (that is, the knitted fabric having a four-layer structure) can be made into a rib structure or a garter structure by needle knitting using a two-bed flat knitting machine. In that case, one side outside and one side inside are locked to the FB in a full needle state, and the other side outside and the other side inside are locked to the BB in a full needle state. Therefore, for example, in order to apply the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention to one side outside and knitting the rib structure or the garter structure, it is necessary to form empty needles on the BB. In order to form a blank needle in BB, the outer side of the other side and a part of the inner side of the other side that are locked to BB are transferred to the outside in the knitting width direction, and the outer side and the inner side of the other side are locked. An empty needle may be formed in BB by widening the width.
