Abstract
Provided is a knitting method and a knitting mechanism, and a circular knitting machine, in which in jacquard or semi jacquard knitting using a circular knitting machine, welt stitching is avoided so as to prevent the breakage and overlapping of yarns and filaments. According to the present invention, only needles selected for knitting and needles selected for tucking perform stitching, and needles selected for welting are prevented from performing stitching by a deactivation method, and thus the needles selected for welting do not perform stitching, so that the load on old loops can be suppressed, and breakage and overlapping of yarns and filaments can be prevented.

A knitting mechanism in a circular knitting machine, comprising a knitting member including needle grooves, needles respectively accommodated in the needle grooves, jacks each of which is engageable with a needle corresponding thereto and is inserted in the same groove as the needle, and a needle selector for selecting the needles by acting on either the needles or the jacks,
- wherein the knitting mechanism comprises a deactivation means for detaching each needle selected for welting or a butt of a jack corresponding thereto from a cam for performing stitching, from before a stitch position to after the stitch position,
- wherein the deactivation means operates when a butt of the needle is at a position that is immediately before the stitch position and that is at a height for welting.
