Knitting method and knitting device

A knitting method, characterized in that a knitting system employed by the knitting method:

• a data acquisition module configured to recognize an image or an instruction set out on a knitwear pattern;
• a control module configured to store knitwear pattern data and control a knitting course of needles;
• a drive module connected to the control module, the drive module being configured to drive the needles to act under control of the control module;
• and
• a status monitoring module configured to acquire a current operating status of the needles and feed status data back to the control module;
• wherein the one-piece knitwear pattern employed comprises a one-piece that connects the front panel with a left sleeve and a right sleeve which are joined with two side edges of the front panel, respectively, as well as a back panel joined with the left sleeve and the right sleeve and corresponding to the front panel, and a neckband joined with the front panel, the left sleeve, the right sleeve, and the back panel, respectively;
• wherein a knitwear piece knitted is of a one-piece structure;
• the knitting method comprises:
• acquiring, by the data acquisition module, the image or instruction set out on the knitwear pattern to give knitwear pattern information;
• receiving, by the control module, the knitwear pattern information sent from the data acquisition module, determining a knitting style based on the knitwear pattern information, defining a position of casting-on, direction of knitting, positions of stitch marking points, and course of stitching under the knitting style, and encoding each stitch marking point specified on the knitwear pattern;
• sending, by the control module, the instruction to the drive module to drive the needles to follow a V-shaped course to work a serpentine knitwear pattern or follow a horizontal or vertical course to work a cross-shaped knitwear pattern;
• sending, by the status monitoring module, action information to the control module when the needles travel to a contour boundary position of a target knitwear piece or to a knitting course direction transition position, such that the control module controls the drive module to adjust action of the needles till the target knitwear piece is completely knitted.
