Description

  The present invention relates to a method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric using a flatbed knitting machine, and a tubular knitted fabric knitted by the method of knitting the tubular knitted fabric.

In the prior art, it has been practiced to form inclined edges on a tubular knitted fabric by means of return knitting including forward knitting and return knitting using a flat knitting machine. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of knitting an inclined edge which constitutes a part of a neckline of a knitwear (cylindrical knitted fabric) by using a return knitting which is a kind of return knitting. It should be noted that in the field of organization, one of the folded organization, the organization to reduce gradually the knitting width while and tuck organized in a folded-back end, referred to as a particularly retrace organization.

  In the invention of Patent Document 1, first, the left front part (right front part) of the knitwear to be locked to the needle bed is moved in the direction away from the center of the knitwear. Next, when performing the reverse knitting, the left front body (right front body) is moved to form widening eyes on the knitting needle that has become an empty needle. Then, the movement of the left front part (the right front part) and the return knitting are repeated. By performing this series of knitting, the widenings aligned with the sloping edge of the neckline are formed.

WO 2010/084556

  There is a need to further increase the angle of the inclined edge with respect to the knitting width direction in order to improve the wearing feel and appearance of the knitwear. However, in the conventional return knitting, there is only one stitch to be knitted between the end stitch of the forward stitch row knitted by the forward knitting and the start stitch of the return stitch row knitted by the return knitting. Therefore, when the angle of the inclined edge that constitutes a part of the U-shaped or V-shaped neckline is increased, the number of stitches aligned in the neckline is insufficient compared to the circumferential length of the neckline, and the vicinity of the inclined edge There may be problems such as the formation of holes and the tension of the tubular knitted fabric.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of the objects thereof is a method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric capable of knitting a plurality of additional stitches between a forward stitch stitch row and a return stitch stitch row. It is to provide. Another object of the present invention is to provide a tubular knitted fabric provided with an inclined edge constituted by a plurality of widening stitches between a forward pass stitch row and a return pass stitch row.

The knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention is characterized in that, during knitting of the tubular knitted fabric using a flatbed knitting machine provided with at least one front needle bed and another needle floor opposite to each other, forward knitting and return knitting The method for forming a tubular knitted fabric in which a folded knitting formed by the above is repeated to form an inclined edge where the peripheral edge of the folded end is inclined to a part of the tubular knitted fabric After performing step C one or more times, the return path formation is performed.
[Step A] ... the existing stitch adjacent to the folded end side of the final stitch of the forward pass knitting is split to move the existing stitch to the opposing knitting needle, and the knitting needle to which the existing stitch is locked Organize new stitches.
[Step B] ... The continuous stitch following the existing stitch in step A is defined as the split stitch, or the existing stitch is knitted in the wale direction, and the continuous stitch is defined as the split stitch, and the end stitch and the final stitch The split stitch is moved between the new stitch and the new stitch.
[Step C] ... the split stitch is regarded as the existing stitch of the step A, or a continuous stitch following the wale direction of the split stitch is knitted, and the continuous stitch is formed with the existing stitch of the step A The same organization as the step A is performed.
However, when the step C is performed a plurality of times, the step B is performed before each step C is performed.

  Here, the extra stitch means that the existing stitch P locked to the knitting needle XX of the needle bed X is moved to the knitting needle YY of the needle bed Y facing the needle bed X, and a new stitch drawn from the existing stitch P It is a known knitting technique of knitting Q into knitting needles XX.

  The form which changes the frequency | count of the said process C in one part of the said return knitting can be mentioned, when repeating several said return knitting as one form of the knitting method of the cylindrical knitted fabric of this invention. For example, in a portion in which the angle of the inclined edge is small, the number of steps C may be one, and in a portion in which the angle of the inclined edge is large, the number of steps C may be two or more. The number of times of step C is preferably 6 or less.

  As one mode of the method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention, an outer end portion of a stitch width direction of a stitch row to be locked to the one side needle bed during or after moving the split in the step B; There can be mentioned an embodiment in which the difference in the knitting width between the outer end portion in the knitting width direction of the stitch row to be locked to the other side needle bed is within 3 eyes. Here, the outer end portion in the knitting width direction is the end portion on the opposite side to the return end side of the forward knitting and the return knitting.

  The tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention is a tubular knitted fabric provided with an inclined edge formed by inclining the peripheries of the forward stitch row and the return stitch row, and at least a part of the inclined edge And a plurality of widening stitches formed between the end stitch of the forward pass stitch row and the start stitch of the return stitch row, the widening stitch being a tubular knitted fabric knitted by split knitting.

In the method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention, a plurality of split increments are performed between the end of the forward knitting and the start of the backward knitting. As a result, the forward stitch row end knitting eyes that are organized by forward knitting, the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention in which a plurality of widening stitch is formed between the starting end stitch of the backward stitch row that is knitted by return knitting Can be organized. The plurality of stitches forms at least a part of the inclined edge on the return end side of the forward stitch row and the return stitch row. Here, it will be described in the embodiment as to which stitches knitted by the knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention become the expanded stitches of the tubular knitted fabric.

  In the tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention, since the plurality of widening stitches forming the inclined edge are formed between the trailing end stitch of the forward pass stitch row and the starting end stitch of the return pass stitch row, It is possible to avoid problems such as lack of eyes. As a result, it is possible to avoid problems such as the formation of a hole in the vicinity of the inclined edge of the tubular knitted fabric and the stretching of the tubular knitted fabric.

  By changing the number of repetitions of the step C of some of the folded knitting, it is possible to form an optimum number of additional stitches corresponding to the angle of the inclined edge. For example, in the case of gradually changing the angle of the inclined edge of the neckline when forming a U-shaped neckline, the angle of the inclined edge may be increased by increasing the number of times of process C in the portion where the angle of the inclined edge is large. It is possible to avoid the shortage of the number of additional eyes.

  By making the difference between the outer ends of the stitch rows locked to the first needle bed and the other needle bed smaller in repeating the reverse knitting, excessive tension may act on the crossover yarn connecting the two stitch rows. It can be suppressed.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a sweater having a neckline including a beveled edge. It is a knitting image figure which shows the knitting procedure of an inclination edge typically. FIG. 5 is a knitting process diagram according to knitting of the inclined edge of the first embodiment.

First Embodiment
In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which an inclined edge portion is formed on a part of the neckline of a sweater (cylindrical knitted fabric) having a body and sleeves, using the knitting method of a cylindrical knitted fabric of the present invention.

  A sweater 100 (cylindrical knitted fabric) shown in FIG. 1 has a body 50 and set-in-type sleeves (left sleeve 61 and right sleeve 62). The body 50 can be divided into a left front 51, a right front 52 and a back 53 with the center of the knitted fabric as a boundary for convenience. In the body 50, a neckline 70 whose front body side is substantially U-shaped is formed, and the neckline 70 is provided with a tubular collar 80. The neckline 70 forms a separation portion 50d in which the left front body 51 and the right front body 52 are separated. In order to knit this sweater 100 using a flat knitting machine, the body 50 and the sleeves 61 and 62 are knitted up to the side, and the body 50 and the sleeves 61 and 62 to the position of the lower end 73 of the neckline 70. The sleeves 61 and 62 are joined to the body 50 while knitting. The contours of the body 50 and the neckline 70 are then formed while knitting and reducing the sleeves 61, 62. Then, the hook 80 is knitted continuously by means of circumferential knitting which constitutes the neckline 70.

  The neckline 70 of the sweater 100 is formed with inclined edges 71 and 72 extending obliquely upward from the lower end 73 thereof (that is, in a direction intersecting both the knitting width direction of the sweater 100 and the wale direction). In this embodiment, the method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention is used to form the inclined edges 71, 72.

  The state of the stitches in the vicinity of the inclined edge 71 formed on the left front body 51 of the sweater 100 will be described based on the image view of FIG. Square frames in the figure indicate stitches and V indicates extended stitches, and thick arrows in the left-right direction indicate the directions of forward knitting 1 and return knitting 2 of the return knitting. The side (left side in the drawing) on which the forward route formation 1 is shifted to the return route formation 2 is the folded end side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the angle of the inclined edge 71 is adjusted by gradually shifting the folding position of the return knitting composed of the forward knitting 1 and the return knitting 2 to the side (right side) away from the folding end. Ru. The position of the end stitch 11 of the forward stitch row 10 knitted by the forward knitting 1 and the position of the start stitch 21 of the return stitch row 20 knitted by the backward knitting 2 are different from those in FIG. It may be shifted to the opposite side (right side in the drawing). By shifting the position of the starting end stitch 21 of the return stitch row 20 to the right, the angle of the inclined edge 71 can be reduced.

  In the sweater 100 of the present example, two widening stitches 5 are formed between the end stitch 11 of the forward stitch row 10 and the start stitch 21 of the return stitch row 20. These additional stitches 5 are stitches that are knitted by utilizing split increase, as shown in the method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric described later. Each of these additional stitches 5 is composed of a knitting yarn that connects the end stitch 11 and the start stitch 21.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the sweater 100 of the present example, every time the left front body 51 (right front body 52) is knitted in two tiers, two additional stitches 5 configured by the inclined edge 71 (72) are knitted. ing. That is, one additional stitch 5 is formed for each stitch row in one row. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the formation of wrinkles or holes between the left front body 51 (the right front body 52) and the neckline 70 due to lack of the stitches of the inclined edges 71, 72 and shrinkage of the neckline 70 (衿 80). can do. As a result, it is possible to form a deep neckline 70 having inclined edges 71 and 72 with a large inclination angle.

  Next, a specific knitting process of the inclined edge portion 71 will be described based on FIG. In FIG. 3, only the knitting of the left half of the sweater 100 is described. "S + numbers" in the figure are the knitting process numbers, FD is the lower front needle bed (one side needle bed), FU is the upper front needle bed (one side needle bed), BD is the lower rear needle bed (others The side needle bed) and BU indicate the upper rear needle bed (other side needle bed). BD and BU can be racked left and right with respect to FD and FU, and can transfer stitches between the front and back needle beds. The portions involved in the knitting operation in each knitting step are indicated by thick lines, and the stitches newly knitted in the step are shown filled. Arrows in the vertical direction in the figure indicate the moving direction of the stitches, and arrows in the left and right direction with circled numbers indicate the knitting directions of the forward route knitting 1 and the return route knitting 2.

As shown in S0 of FIG. 3, the front part of the left front body 51 and the left sleeve 61 is locked to the FD, and the rear part of the rear body 53 and the left sleeve 61 is locked to the BD. Sleeves 61). From this state, the inclined edge 71 is knitted using the method of forming a tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention.

  In S1, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the left direction to carry out the forward route knitting 1, and the existing stitch 3 adjacent to the return end side of the end stitch 11 of the forward route knitting 1 is split (equivalent to process A). The forward stitch row 10 formed by the forward knitting 1 becomes part of the left front body 51 and the left sleeve 61. Further, the existing stitch 3 locked to the knitting needle of the FD in S0 is moved to the knitting needle of BU facing the FD by the above-mentioned additional increase, and the knitting needle of the FD is locked to the existing stitch 3 in S0. , And a new stitch 12 drawn from the existing stitch 3 is organized.

  Here, the forward stitch stitch row 10 shown in the drawings is a pemphigoid tissue, but may be a rib texture. In this case, it is sufficient to move the first route formation 1 after moving part of the stitches of the left front 51 of S0 to BU.

  In S2, the yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and the continuous stitch 14 continuous in the wale direction of the existing stitch 3 is knitted. In the embodiment, this continuous stitch 14 is divided and defined as a stitch 13. Here, S3 shown below may be performed without knitting the continuous stitches 14. In that case, the existing stitch 3 is divided and defined as a stitch 13, and the subsequent knitting is performed.

  In S3, a part of the stitch row including the end stitch 11 in the forward stitch row 10 is moved from the FD to the BU. The operation of this S3 is preparation for inserting the split stitch 13 between the end stitch 11 and the new stitch 12.

In S4, the split knit eyes 13, thereby moving the stitch row is moved to the BU, in 1 eye partial offset was located in the right direction (a direction away from the folded-back end) of the FD at S3 (Step B equivalent). The split stitch 13 is moved between the end stitch 11 and the new stitch 12 by this S4. Further, a stitch 15 in which the stitch of the left front body 51 and the stitch of the left sleeve 61 are overlapped is formed by S4. Even if the split stitch 13 is inserted between the end stitch 11 and the new stitch 12 by forming the double stitch 15 and reducing the knit width of the left sleeve 61, the knit width of the stitch row retained in the FD And the stitch width of the stitch row to be locked to the BD can be made uniform. The stitch width of the left front body 51 is not reduced by the double stitches 15.

  Here, the stitches of the left front body 51 and the stitches of the left sleeve 61 are not joined each time the single-fold knitting is performed. Therefore, when the split stitch 13 is inserted between the stitches 11 and 12, the outer end (end on the right side) of the stitch width direction of the stitch row to be locked to the FD and the stitch row to be locked to the BD The difference between the outer end in the knitting width direction and the width may increase, which may break the knitting yarn connecting the two stitch rows. Therefore, before the difference between the outer ends of both the stitch rows becomes large, it is preferable to make the difference within three eyes. For example, reduce the knitting width of the stitch row locked to the FD, or rotate the stitch of the outer end of the stitch row locked to the FD further outside the outer end of the stitch of the stitch row locked to the BD It is good to be crowded.

  In S5, the split stitch 13 in S4 is defined as a new existing stitch 3 and the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward to split the existing stitch 3 (corresponding to step C). The extra stitch causes the existing stitch 3 (the split stitch 13 knitted in S2) to be moved to the BU by BU, and the new stitch 12 is knit to the knitting needle of the FD in which the existing stitch 3 was locked before performing split multiplication. Be done.

  In S6, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the left direction, and the continuous stitch 14 continuous in the wale direction of the existing stitch 3 is knitted. In the embodiment, this continuous stitch 14 is divided and defined as a stitch 13. Here, S7 shown below may be performed without knitting the continuous stitches 14. In that case, the existing stitch 3 is divided and defined as a stitch 13, and the subsequent knitting is performed.

  In S7, the yarn feeder 9 is moved to the right, and the return route formation 2 is performed with the position of the end stitch 11 of the forward pass stitch row 10 as the start end. The start stitch 21 of the return path formation 2 is continuously knitted in the wale direction of the end stitch 11. The position of the start stitch 21 may be on the right side of the end stitch 11 (the side away from the folded end).

  In the knitting process described above, the new stitch 12 knitted in S5 and the split stitch 13 knitted in S6 become the stitches 5 formed between the end stitch 11 and the start stitch 21 shown in FIG.

  After S7, the split stitch 13 is moved between the new stitch 12 (stretch stitch 5) and the start stitch 21 of S7, and the rear body 53 and the inclined edge 72 on the right front 52 side of FIG. 1 are knitted. Do. The formation of the inclined edge portion 72 may be performed by inverting the left and right of FIG. 3.

  Here, after the split stitch 13 is moved between the end stitch 11 and the new stitch 12 after S6, the return path knitting 2 shown in S7 can also be performed.

Second Embodiment
Three or more widening stitches 5 can be knitted between the end stitch 11 of the forward stitch stitch row 10 and the start stitch 21 of the return stitch stitch row 20 shown in FIG. The arrangement of the second embodiment can also be used in combination with the arrangement of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, a procedure for forming three additional stitches 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The process can be performed in the same manner as S1 to S6 in FIG. 3 until the second stitch 5 in FIG. 2 is knitted. After S6, knitting similar to S3 and S4, that is, knitting for moving the split stitch 13 between the final stitch 11 and the new stitch 12 in S6 is performed (the second process B).

  Next, the split stitch 13 is defined as a new existing stitch 3 and knitting similar to S5 and S6, that is, split knitting with respect to the existing stitch 3 and knitting of the continuous stitch 14 is performed (the second process C). Finally, the continuous stitch 14 is divided and defined as the stitch 13, and after the split stitch 13 is moved between the end stitch 11 and the new stitch 12, the return route knitting 2 is performed. The extra increase 13 is the third increase. Here, the movement of the extra stitch 13 may be performed after the return route formation 2. In this case, the split stitch 13 is moved between the new stitch 12 and the start stitch 21 of the return route formation 2.

Also, in the case of organizing four or more additional stitches, it is possible to organize the fourth additional stitch based on the same idea as the above-mentioned idea. That is, after performing the third step B after the second step C, a step C of the third.

Embodiment 3
The formation of the first embodiment in which two additional stitches are formed between the forward route formation 1 and the return route formation 2 and the formation of the second embodiment in which three or more additional stitches are formed between the forward route formation 1 and the return route formation 2 In addition to the above, it is also possible to combine the conventional return knitting in which one additional stitch is knitted between the forward route formation 1 and the return route formation 2. By combining these formations, it is possible to form an optimum number of additional eyes in the inclined edge in accordance with the angle and circumferential length of the inclined edge and the texture of the body. For example, even if the body is knitted with rib tissue or the like, if an optimum number of additional eyes are formed on the inclined edge according to the contraction of the rib tissue, the problem of forming a hole near the inclined edge may be eliminated. it can.

<Others>
In the first to third embodiments, knitting of the inclined edge using a four-bed flat knitting machine has been described. On the other hand, it is also possible to knit the beveled edge using a two-bed flat knitting machine. In that case, knitting is performed in a needle removal state in which an empty needle is provided between adjacent stitches.

  In the embodiment described above, although the sloped edge is formed in the neckline, the formation position of the sloped edge is not limited to the position of the neckline. For example, the beveled edge can be formed in a sleeveless armhole.
