Description

  The present invention relates to a tubular knitted fabric that forms an increased stitch on the outer side of the end in the needle bed longitudinal direction of the tubular knitted fabric that is locked to the needle bed during knitting of the knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine. The present invention relates to an outside increasing method and a tubular knitted fabric knitted by applying the method. Note that the tubular knitted fabric in the present invention includes a knitted fabric in which a part of the cylinder is not connected, such as a body part of a cardigan.

  Conventionally, in the process of knitting a tubular knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, in order to knit the tubular knitted fabric into a desired shape, an additional stitch may be formed. As a method of forming such an increased stitch, a tubular knitting that increases the knitting width by forming a hook on an empty needle outside the end in the needle bed longitudinal direction of the tubular knitted fabric locked to the needle bed. There are known ways to increase outside the ground.

  However, in the normal method of increasing the outside of the tubular knitted fabric, an increase stitch formed by a hook is formed by feeding the empty needle, and therefore a hole is likely to be formed at the formation portion of the increase stitch. In view of this, the present applicant has proposed a method shown in Patent Document 1 as a method for increasing the outside of the tubular knitted fabric that makes the holes in the formation points of the increased stitches inconspicuous.

  FIG. 3 is a knitting process diagram for carrying out the method of increasing the outside of the tubular knitted fabric described in Patent Document 1 using a two-bed flat knitting machine having a pair of front and back needle beds facing each other. In the knitting process diagram of FIG. 3, the alphabet + number on the left side in the figure indicates the process number, the left and right arrows indicate the movement direction of the yarn feeder, and the up and down arrows indicate the direction of transfer. A to N in the figure are the positions of the knitting needles (black dots in the figure) of the front needle bed (hereinafter FB) and the rear needle bed (hereinafter BB), ▼ is the yarn feeder, Ω is the stitch, The mark V indicates the stitches, and the operations actually performed in each knitting process are indicated by bold lines. Furthermore, in the drawing, reference numerals 11 to 19 are given in the order of formation of the stitches that are the additional stitches and some stitches in the vicinity thereof. In FIG. 3, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the number of knitting needles is less than the number used in actual knitting, and all are knitted with a tentacle.

  T0 shows a state in which the tubular knitted fabric is locked to the knitting needles C, E, G, I, and K of the FB and the knitting needles D, F, H, J, and L of the BB. In the subsequent knitting from this state, an increasing stitch is formed on the outer side (left side of the drawing) of the knitting width of the tubular knitted fabric while performing the clockwise knitting.

  First, while moving the yarn feeder to the left side of the drawing, knitting is formed on the knitting needles K, I, G, E, and C of the FB, and the wale of the front knitted fabric portion of the tubular knitted fabric that is locked to the FB at T0. After knitting a new stitch row ε that continues in the direction, the stitch 14 is formed on the knitting needle B of the FB located on the outer side of the stitch row ε (T1). Next, while moving the yarn feeder to the right side of the paper, by forming stitches on the knitting needles D, F, H, J, and L of the BB, the rear knitted fabric of the tubular knitted fabric that is locked to the BB at T0. A new stitch row ζ is formed following the wale direction of the part (T2).

  Further, by forming stitches on the knitting needles K, I, G, E, and C of the FB while moving the yarn feeder to the left side of the page, a new stitch that follows the wale direction of the stitch row ε formed on the FB at T1. After forming the row η, the hook 17 is formed on the knitting needle A of the FB that is on the outer side of the hook 14 formed on the knitting needle B of the FB at T2 (T3). Next, the hook 14 formed at T1 is transferred to the knitting needle B of the opposite BB (T4). Then, while moving the yarn feeder to the right side of the paper, after forming a new stitch 18 following the hook stitch 14 transferred at T4, the stitches are formed on the knitting needles D, F, H, J, and L of the BB. , A new stitch row θ following the wale direction of the stitch row ζ formed on the BB at T2.

  FIG. 4 shows a loop diagram of the tubular knitted fabric shown in T5 of FIG. 3 obtained through the knitting process described above, as viewed from the outside of the cylinder. In FIG. 4, the same reference numerals are assigned to the stitches corresponding to the stitches and stitches identified by the reference numerals in FIG.

  In the tubular knitted fabric shown in FIG. 4, the hook 14 formed on the knitting needle B of the FB at T1 in FIG. 1 and transferred at T4 becomes the additional stitch 14 in the twisted state, and at T3. The formed hook 17 is an additional stitch 17 that extends over the additional stitch 14, and the knitting width is increased by two stitches per two courses. Here, by setting one of the two increased stitches 14 and 17 as a twisted stitch, the interval between the two stitches 13 and 15 sandwiching the twisted stitch 14 is reduced, so that the formation of the increased stitch 14 is formed. It is possible to make the holes generated at the places inconspicuous.
