Abstract
The present invention provides a knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric with a projection part having stretch and a supporting performance and formed in an arbitrary shape and at an arbitrary location by using a flat knitting machine. The method comprises the step 1 of knitting a knitted fabric in a tubular form joined at both ends of a knitting width by a rib knitting, while inserting an elastic yarn in the tubular body by an inlay, and the step 2 of knitting only a part for the projection part to be formed on at least either of a front side of the tubular knitted fabric and a back side of the same by a flechage knitting, the step 1 and the step 2 being repeatedly carried out.
Claims5
A knitting method of a tubular knitted fabric with a projection part having stretch and a supporting performance by using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds extending in a traverse direction and disposed opposite to each other in a cross direction, at least either of which is capable of being racked in the traverse direction so that loops can be transferred between the front and back needle beds, the method comprising:
- the step 1 of knitting a knitted fabric in a tubular form joined at both ends of a knitting width by a rib knitting, while inserting an elastic yarn in the tubular body by an inlay, and
- the step 2 of knitting only a part for the projection part to be formed on at least either of a front side of the tubular knitted fabric and a back side of the same by a flechage knitting,
- the step 1 and the step 2 being repeatedly carried out.
A tubular knitted fabric having a projection part having stretch and a supporting performance by using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and back needle beds extending in a traverse direction and disposed opposite to each other in a cross direction, at least either of which is capable of being racked in the traverse direction so that loops can be transferred between the front and back needle beds,
- wherein the tubular knitted fabric is knitted in a tubular form joined at both ends of a knitting width by a rib knitting, while inserting an elastic yarn in the tubular body by an inlay, and has the projection part formed on at least either of a front side of the tubular knitted fabric and a back side of the same by a flechage knitting.
