Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion using a flat knitting machine, and a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by applying such knitting method.
- a neckline portion to become a neck hole is formed in a tubular knitted fabric such as a sweater by carrying out flechage knitting. More specifically, a flechage position is sequentially shifted to an edge side in a knitting width direction and a stitch at a flechage end is made to be in a non-acting state of being excluded from the knitting of the next and subsequent courses while being held on a needle bed until the formation of the neckline portion is finished, so that the flechage end is formed in the tubular knitted fabric as the neckline portion. The position to become the flechage end is subjected to tucking so that a hole is not formed in the finished knitted fabric.
- the sweater knitted using the flechage knitting may have a shallow neckline portion, that is, a small frontal drop.
- the number of times the flechage knitting can be carried out since the tucking is performed at the flechage end, and the portion performed with the tucking becomes tense thereby inhibiting the knitted fabric portion newly formed by performing the flechage knitting from lowering to a lower side of a needle bed gap.
- Patent Document 1 a knitting method capable of forming the neckline portion deeper than with the conventional knitting method.
- an arbitrary boundary is set at the front body to divide to the right front body and the left front body when forming the neckline portion with the flechage knitting, and the stitches of the right front body and the stitches of the left front body held on the needle beds are respectively moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary line.
- a widening stitch is formed on the knitting needle, which becomes an empty needle due to the movement of the stitches. Such widening stitch is then excluded from the knitting of the next and subsequent courses, and the moving of the stitches and the performing of the flechage knitting described above are repeated.
- the knitting width of the neckline portion at the front body can be made greater than that of the back body by performing the series of knitting, so that the deeper neckline portion, that is, the neckline portion with large frontal drop can be formed than that in the related art.
- the peripheral length of the neckline portion becomes longer (stitches increase) by the dropped amount of the neckline portion, and the neckline portion is not simply stretched by the dropped amount, and hence a high quality knitted fabric in which the stitches of the neck portion and the neckline portion are balanced can be knitted.
- Patent document 1 Japanese Patent Publication No. 3863018
- the number of stitches held at the front and back needle beds needs to be substantially the same number so that an excessively large tension does not act on a knitting yarn thus breaking the knitting yarn at the boundaries of the front and back knitted fabrics.
- the stitches at an end in the knitting width direction of the front side knitted fabric portion are fed to the needle bed on which the back side knitted fabric portion (back body and back sleeve) is held to reduce the difference in the number of stitches at the front and back needle beds in the technique of Patent Document 1.
- Such feeding requires transfer of stitches, racking of needle beds, and the like, and hence the knitting steps increase and the productivity of the knitted fabric is lowered.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above situations, and an object thereof is to provide a method for knitting a neckline portion capable of knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a deep neckline portion with a simple knitting step, and a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by applying the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention.
- a method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention is a method for knitting a neckline portion of setting a boundary in a knitting width direction of a front body to divide the front body to a left front body and a right front body, and performing flechage knitting with the left front body and the right front body connected to a back body through sleeves when forming a neckline portion in a tubular knitted fabric including the body and the sleeves using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, in which at least either of the front and back needle beds is capable of being racked in a transverse direction and stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds.
- the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention includes the steps of moving a stitch row including a stitch at a closest position from the boundary of the stitches of the front body held on one of the front or back needle beds formed by the flechage knitting in a direction of moving away from the boundary, and overlapping the stitch at the most distant position from the boundary in the moved stitch row on the stitch at the closest position from the boundary in a non-moved stitch row on the farther side in the knitting width direction of the moved stitch row; and feeding a yarn to an empty needle between the boundary and the stitch at the closest position from the boundary in the moved stitch row to form a pickup stitch configuring the neckline portion; wherein the pickup stitch is remained held on the knitting needle of the needle bed until the formation of the neckline portion is finished.
- all the stitches of the front body are held on one of the front or back needle beds, all the stitches of the back body are held on the other needle bed, and the flechage position is on the needle bed on which the stitches of the front body are held.
- the stitch row may be configured with a single stitch, or may be configured with a plurality of stitches.
- the knitting method of the present invention has a feature in knitting the neckline portion by performing the flechage knitting, and how the back body is knitted is not relevant.
- the back body may be knitted using a yarn feeder different from the yarn feeder used for the relevant knitting, and then the yarn feeder may be changed to a yarn feeder different from the yarn feeder used in the knitting of the back body before knitting the left front body to knit the left front body.
- the position of overlapping the moved stitch and the non-moved stitch is not particularly limited, but is preferably a position where a double stitch does not stand out.
- the position may be in the vicinity of the end on the boundary side of the right and left front bodies (neckline portion side) or in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body (sleeve side), and more preferably in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body including the position of the sleeve.
- the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body includes, for example, the vicinity of a joining line (sleeve attaching portion) of the body and the sleeve, and the vicinity of a shoulder attachment part in a knitted fabric where the shoulder attachment part is positioned in the front and back bodies in addition to the joining line as with the epaulet sleeve.
- a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention is a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by flechage knitting using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, in which at least either of the front and back needle beds is capable of being racked in a transverse direction and stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds.
- the tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention includes a stitch at a termination of a forward knitting course knitted by the flechage knitting, a stitch at a starting end of a backward knitting course formed by the flechage knitting, a widening stitch being directly connected to the stitch at the starting end and the stitch at the termination, being adjacent to the stitch of the starting end or the stitch of the termination in the knitting width direction, and configuring the neckline portion, and a narrowing stitch formed so that the knitting width of the knitting course does not increase by the formation of the widening stitch in the knitting course in which the widening stitch is adjacent.
- the stitches of the right and left bodies having a boundary in between are moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary when forming the neckline portion, so that the stitches are arrayed with the knitting direction spaced apart in Y-shape with the boundary in between. Therefore, when the knitted fabric is removed from the needle beds after the formation of the neckline portion is finished, the stitches of the body tend to return toward the boundary side and move closer to the lower end side of the neckline portion, and hence the neckline portion drops deeply.
- the knitting width of the front body does not increase in the front and back needle beds even if a widening stitch is formed to form a deep neckline portion in the front body, since the narrowing stitch (double stitch) is formed to cancel out the widening stitch.
- the stitches of the needle bed on which the front body is held do not need to be fed to the opposing needle bed in the process of forming the neckline portion, so that the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention having a deep neckline portion can be knitted with few number of knitting steps.
- a deeper neckline portion can be formed when the position of forming the double stitch is positioned in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body, that is, the position distant from the boundary of the right and left bodies, than when the position of forming the double stitch is on the boundary side of the right and left bodies. Since the double stitch is set at a position distant from the boundary, the stitches of the right and left bodies are moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary as a whole, so that the neckline portion seems as if stretched.
- the tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention has a deep neckline portion with a steeper angle from the lower end side to the upper end side of the neckline portion than the tubular knitted fabric in which the neckline portion is formed by the flechage knitting.
- the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention does not include twisted stitches even if the widening stitch is formed in the neckline portion of the front body to form the deep neckline portion, and hence has satisfactory appearance.
- FIG. 1 An example of knitting a sweater 100 serving as a tubular knitted fabric including a body 50 and set-in type sleeves (right sleeve 61, left sleeve 62) as shown in Fig. 1 with a two bed flat knitting machine in which at least either one of a pair of front and back needle beds disposed opposite to each other is capable of being racked in the traverse direction and stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds will be described.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion using a flat knitting machine, and a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by applying such knitting method.
- Conventionally, a neckline portion to become a neck hole is formed in a tubular knitted fabric such as a sweater by carrying out flechage knitting. More specifically, a flechage position is sequentially shifted to an edge side in a knitting width direction and a stitch at a flechage end is made to be in a non-acting state of being excluded from the knitting of the next and subsequent courses while being held on a needle bed until the formation of the neckline portion is finished, so that the flechage end is formed in the tubular knitted fabric as the neckline portion. The position to become the flechage end is subjected to tucking so that a hole is not formed in the finished knitted fabric.
- However, there is a limit to the number of times the flechage knitting can be carried out in the conventional flechage knitting, and thus the sweater knitted using the flechage knitting may have a shallow neckline portion, that is, a small frontal drop. There is a limit to the number of times the flechage knitting can be carried out since the tucking is performed at the flechage end, and the portion performed with the tucking becomes tense thereby inhibiting the knitted fabric portion newly formed by performing the flechage knitting from lowering to a lower side of a needle bed gap.
- The applicant thus proposed in Patent Document 1 a knitting method capable of forming the neckline portion deeper than with the conventional knitting method. In the technique of
Patent Document 1, an arbitrary boundary is set at the front body to divide to the right front body and the left front body when forming the neckline portion with the flechage knitting, and the stitches of the right front body and the stitches of the left front body held on the needle beds are respectively moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary line. When performing the flechage knitting, a widening stitch is formed on the knitting needle, which becomes an empty needle due to the movement of the stitches. Such widening stitch is then excluded from the knitting of the next and subsequent courses, and the moving of the stitches and the performing of the flechage knitting described above are repeated. The knitting width of the neckline portion at the front body can be made greater than that of the back body by performing the series of knitting, so that the deeper neckline portion, that is, the neckline portion with large frontal drop can be formed than that in the related art. According to such technique of the Patent Document, the peripheral length of the neckline portion becomes longer (stitches increase) by the dropped amount of the neckline portion, and the neckline portion is not simply stretched by the dropped amount, and hence a high quality knitted fabric in which the stitches of the neck portion and the neckline portion are balanced can be knitted. - [Patent document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No.
3863018 - In knitting the tubular knitted fabric with the flat knitting machine, the number of stitches held at the front and back needle beds needs to be substantially the same number so that an excessively large tension does not act on a knitting yarn thus breaking the knitting yarn at the boundaries of the front and back knitted fabrics. In view of such aspect, the stitches at an end in the knitting width direction of the front side knitted fabric portion (front body and front sleeve) are fed to the needle bed on which the back side knitted fabric portion (back body and back sleeve) is held to reduce the difference in the number of stitches at the front and back needle beds in the technique of
Patent Document 1. Such feeding requires transfer of stitches, racking of needle beds, and the like, and hence the knitting steps increase and the productivity of the knitted fabric is lowered. - The present invention has been made in view of the above situations, and an object thereof is to provide a method for knitting a neckline portion capable of knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a deep neckline portion with a simple knitting step, and a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by applying the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention.
- A method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention is a method for knitting a neckline portion of setting a boundary in a knitting width direction of a front body to divide the front body to a left front body and a right front body, and performing flechage knitting with the left front body and the right front body connected to a back body through sleeves when forming a neckline portion in a tubular knitted fabric including the body and the sleeves using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, in which at least either of the front and back needle beds is capable of being racked in a transverse direction and stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds. The method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention includes the steps of moving a stitch row including a stitch at a closest position from the boundary of the stitches of the front body held on one of the front or back needle beds formed by the flechage knitting in a direction of moving away from the boundary, and overlapping the stitch at the most distant position from the boundary in the moved stitch row on the stitch at the closest position from the boundary in a non-moved stitch row on the farther side in the knitting width direction of the moved stitch row; and feeding a yarn to an empty needle between the boundary and the stitch at the closest position from the boundary in the moved stitch row to form a pickup stitch configuring the neckline portion; wherein the pickup stitch is remained held on the knitting needle of the needle bed until the formation of the neckline portion is finished.
- In the knitting method of the present invention, all the stitches of the front body are held on one of the front or back needle beds, all the stitches of the back body are held on the other needle bed, and the flechage position is on the needle bed on which the stitches of the front body are held. The stitch row may be configured with a single stitch, or may be configured with a plurality of stitches. The knitting method of the present invention has a feature in knitting the neckline portion by performing the flechage knitting, and how the back body is knitted is not relevant. For example, after the neckline portion of the right front body is formed with the flechage knitting, the back body may be knitted using a yarn feeder different from the yarn feeder used for the relevant knitting, and then the yarn feeder may be changed to a yarn feeder different from the yarn feeder used in the knitting of the back body before knitting the left front body to knit the left front body.
- In the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention, the position of overlapping the moved stitch and the non-moved stitch is not particularly limited, but is preferably a position where a double stitch does not stand out. For example, the position may be in the vicinity of the end on the boundary side of the right and left front bodies (neckline portion side) or in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body (sleeve side), and more preferably in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body including the position of the sleeve. The vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body includes, for example, the vicinity of a joining line (sleeve attaching portion) of the body and the sleeve, and the vicinity of a shoulder attachment part in a knitted fabric where the shoulder attachment part is positioned in the front and back bodies in addition to the joining line as with the epaulet sleeve.
- A tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention is a tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion knitted by flechage knitting using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds, in which at least either of the front and back needle beds is capable of being racked in a transverse direction and stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds. The tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention includes a stitch at a termination of a forward knitting course knitted by the flechage knitting, a stitch at a starting end of a backward knitting course formed by the flechage knitting, a widening stitch being directly connected to the stitch at the starting end and the stitch at the termination, being adjacent to the stitch of the starting end or the stitch of the termination in the knitting width direction, and configuring the neckline portion, and a narrowing stitch formed so that the knitting width of the knitting course does not increase by the formation of the widening stitch in the knitting course in which the widening stitch is adjacent.
- According to the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention, the stitches of the right and left bodies having a boundary in between are moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary when forming the neckline portion, so that the stitches are arrayed with the knitting direction spaced apart in Y-shape with the boundary in between. Therefore, when the knitted fabric is removed from the needle beds after the formation of the neckline portion is finished, the stitches of the body tend to return toward the boundary side and move closer to the lower end side of the neckline portion, and hence the neckline portion drops deeply. According to the method for knitting of the present invention, the knitting width of the front body does not increase in the front and back needle beds even if a widening stitch is formed to form a deep neckline portion in the front body, since the narrowing stitch (double stitch) is formed to cancel out the widening stitch. As a result, the stitches of the needle bed on which the front body is held do not need to be fed to the opposing needle bed in the process of forming the neckline portion, so that the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention having a deep neckline portion can be knitted with few number of knitting steps.
- A deeper neckline portion can be formed when the position of forming the double stitch is positioned in the vicinity of the end in the knitting width direction of the front body, that is, the position distant from the boundary of the right and left bodies, than when the position of forming the double stitch is on the boundary side of the right and left bodies. Since the double stitch is set at a position distant from the boundary, the stitches of the right and left bodies are moved in the direction of moving away from the boundary as a whole, so that the neckline portion seems as if stretched. When the knitted fabric formed with such neckline portion is removed from the needle bed, the stitches of the right and left bodies move closer to the boundary side as a whole, so that a lower end of the neckline portion drops to a hem side of the knitted fabric thus forming a deep neckline portion.
- The tubular knitted fabric having a neckline portion of the present invention has a deep neckline portion with a steeper angle from the lower end side to the upper end side of the neckline portion than the tubular knitted fabric in which the neckline portion is formed by the flechage knitting. The tubular knitted fabric of the present invention does not include twisted stitches even if the widening stitch is formed in the neckline portion of the front body to form the deep neckline portion, and hence has satisfactory appearance.

The following is a description of the knitting from the position at the lower end of theneckline portion 71 until theneck portion 70 is formed. -
Fig. 2 andFig. 3 are knitting step diagrams according to the present embodiment, and show the held state of the stitches on the needle beds. In the figure, "S + number" indicates the number of the knitting step, FB indicates the front needle bed, BB indicates the back needle bed, 1 to 36 indicate the position of the knitting needles, ● indicates the stitch newly knitted in each knitting step, ○ indicates the old stitch held on the knitting needle, Ⓞ indicates the double stitch, and V letter indicates a pick up stitch. The arrow shown in the figure indicates the movement state of the stitches by the transfer carried out using empty needle of the opposing needle bed and the racking of the needle bed. The illustrated number of knitting needles is less than the actual number inFigs. 2 and3 for the sake of convenience of the explanation. -
Fig. 4 is a loop diagram of the rightfront body 51 having theneckline portion 71 of thesweater 100 knitted in the knitting step described above. The numbers in the figure correspond to the positions of the knitting needles inFig. 2 andFig. 3 . In the figure, the stitches extending toward the upper right at the right side are the stitches of theneck portion 70. - In S1 of
Fig. 2 , a state in which thebody 50 and the right and leftsleeves knitting needles 1 to 6 are the stitches of theright sleeve 61, the stitches held on theknitting needles 31 to 36 are the stitches of theleft sleeve 62, and the stitches held on theknitting needles 7 to 30 are the stitches of thebody 50. Between theknitting needle 18 and theknitting needle 19 is the center position in the knitting width direction of thesweater 100, which becomes the center position of theneckline portion 71. The stitches of the FB on the left side in the plane of drawing are assumed as the stitches of the rightfront body 51, and the stitches of the FB on the right side in the plane of drawing are assumed as the stitches of the leftfront body 52 with such center position as a boundary CL. - In S2, the stitches are formed on the
knitting needles knitting needles knitting needle 9 in S2) in the stitch row moved in S3 is overlapped on the stitch closest to the boundary CL (stitch held on the knitting needle 7) in the stitch row not moved in S3. The stitches held on theknitting needles neckline portion 71. - In S4, the pickup stitch is formed on the
knitting needle 15 of the FB that became an empty needle as a result of the transfer of stitches carried out in S3 and the stitches are formed on theknitting needles Fig. 4 , the pickup stitch of theknitting needle 15 is formed at the termination of the forward knitting course (second row from the bottom inFig. 4 ) and becomes the widening stitch that configures theneckline portion 71. The pickup stitch is excluded from the subsequent knitting target and is remained held on the FB until the knitting of theneckline portion 71 is finished. - Although the widening stitch is formed in S4, the knitting width is narrowed in S3 before forming such widening stitch, and hence the widening stitch and the narrowing stitch cancel each other out. Therefore, the knitting width is not changed from the state of S1, which is before the widening stitch is formed, although the widening stitch is formed in S4, and the stitches of the FB do not need to be fed to the BB.
- In S5, the stitches held on the
knitting needles knitting needles sleeves knitting needles knitting needles knitting needles sleeve 61 carried out in S5 and S6 is the knitting performed in accordance with the shape of the human body so that the knitting width of thesleeve 61 is reduced from the hem side toward the neck side of thesweater 100, and is the knitting also performed in the conventional sweater. - In S7, S8 shown in
Fig. 2 and S9, S10 shown inFig. 3 , the knitting similar to the knitting shown in S3 to S6 ofFig. 2 is carried out for the left side (right side in the plane of drawing) of thesweater 100. The state of the rightfront body 51 side at the time point where S10 is finished is the state of being knitted from the first row to the third row in the loop diagram ofFig. 4 . - Thereafter, the forming position of the pickup stitch at the right and left
front bodies neckline portion 71. Such knitting of the neckline portion is carried out with the procedure similar to the knitting shown in S2 to S10 other than that the forming position of the pickup stitch is shifted. Furthermore, narrowing is carried out on thesleeves sweater 100. For the specific knitting steps, only one part following S10 is illustrated in S11 to S14 ofFig. 3 . - The state in which the
neckline portion 71 is formed by repeating the formation of the pickup stitch in the above manner is shown in S15. As shown in S15, the neckline portion includes the stitches (stitches at the lower end of the neckline portion held on theknitting needles 17, 19) and the pickup stitches in the FB, and theneckline portion 71 including the stitches is formed in the BB. - Lastly, in S16, the
neck portion 70 including a new stitch continuing to the stitches and the pickup stitches forming the neckline portion is formed by circling knitting. - As shown in
Fig. 4 , in thesweater 100 knitted through the above knitting steps, the widening stitches (position ofknitting needles Fig. 4 ) of the flechage knitting, the widening stitches configuring the neckline portion. In the forward knitting course to which the widening stitches are adjacent, the narrowing stitch (position of knitting needle 7) is formed to cancel out the widening stitches. - In the embodiment described above, substantially all the stitches of the right front body 51 (left front body 52) lined in the knitting width direction are moved to the right sleeve 61 (left sleeve 62) side, but the number of stitches to be moved is not particularly limited. However, it is preferably carried out near the position where the line originally serving as a design of the knitted fabric is present, i.e., the boundary portion of the right
front body 51 and theright sleeve 61 as shown in the embodiment. As opposed to the embodiment, all the stitches of the rightfront body 51 may be moved and overlapped on the stitches of theright sleeve 61. The vicinity of theneckline portion 71 may be a position where the line serving as the design is present. In this case, only the stitch held on theknitting needle 15 in S2 ofFig. 2 is moved to theknitting needle 13 in S3 to form a double stitch. - In one tubular knitted fabric, the conventional flechage knitting using the tuck, the method for knitting the neckline portion of the present invention in which the double stitch is formed in the vicinity of the neckline portion, and the method for knitting the neckline portion of the present invention in which the double stitch is formed on the side distant from the boundary may be carried out in combination. In particular, it is preferable if the three knitting methods are carried out in the described order in order from the lower end side of the neckline portion since the angle of the neckline portion gradually become steeper and a satisfactory U-shaped neckline portion can be formed.
- Furthermore, the method for knitting a neckline portion of the present invention can also be applied to the neckline portion such as a square neck or a V-neck other than the U-neck described in the embodiment.
