Method for knitting knitted fabric

A method for knitting a knitted fabric comprising:

• forming a suppressing section for suppressing stretch in a knitting width direction of the knitted fabric in a middle of a wale direction of the knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of a front and a back needle beds and in which stitches are transferrable between the front and back needle beds;
• wherein
• a direction to one side of a longitudinal direction of the needle beds defines a first direction,
• process β1 of carrying out split knitting continuously on a first stitch that serves as a basis and on a plurality of moving side stitches lined in the first direction with respect to the first stitch to transfer the first stitch and the moving side stitches from the one needle bed to the other needle bed, and knitting a plurality of new base stitches on the knitting needles of the one needle bed, on which the first stitch and the moving side stitches were held, is carried out, and
• process β2 of defining the moving side stitch that is forward from the first stitch relative to the first direction, among the moving side stitches transferred to the other needle bed by the split knitting of the process β1, as a second stitch, and moving the first stitch in the first direction and overlapping the first stitch and the second stitch on the other needle bed to form a double stitch, and
• process β3 of knitting a retaining stitch following in the wale direction of the double stitch formed in the process β2, are repeated, so that the suppressing section is formed by a bind-off process in which the double stitch is formed and the retaining stitch is knitted, and a plurality of the new base stitches are formed from the suppressing section;
• provided that
• n is a natural number greater than or equal to one, the n+1th process β2 is carried out assuming the retaining stitch in the nth process β3 is the first stitch in the n+1th process β2.

• a direction to one side of a longitudinal direction of the needle beds defines a first direction, and
• process γ1 of carrying out split knitting on a first stitch that serves as a basis, to transfer the first stitch from the one needle bed to the other needle bed, and knitting a new base stitch on the knitting needle of the one needle bed on which the first stitch was held;
• process γ2 of defining a stitch that was forward from the first stitch relative to the first direction on the one needle bed before carrying out the split knitting as a second stitch, and moving the first stitch in the first direction and overlapping the first stitch and the second stitc on the one needle bed to form a double stitch;
• and
• process γ3 of knitting a retaining stitch following in the wale direction of the double stitch formed in the process γ2, are repeated, so that the suppressing section is formed by a bind-off process in which the double stitch is formed and the retaining stitch is knitted, and a plurality of the new base stitches are formed from the suppressing section;
• provided that
• n is a natural number greater than or equal to one, the n+1th process γ1is carried out assuming the retaining stitch in the nth process γ3 is the first stitch in the n+1th process γ1.
