To provide a knitting method for continuously knitting a cylindrical knitted fabric part as it is without causing a twist at a point of time when a gore connection is completed and carrying out turning when a size of a gore is different between at a front and a rear knitted fabric parts.
The position of a standard boundary part at a point of time when the knitting of a cylindrical knitted fabric part starts is set so that a standard boundary part positioned at the opposite side of the connection side boundary part of a front and a rear knitted fabric parts is positioned at the same position relatively to the knit stitch of a nonconnection side boundary part on a needlebed at a point of time when the knitting of a cylindrical knitted fabric part starts and at a point of time when a gore is formed even if the connection side boundary part of a front and a rear knitted fabric parts is positioned between a front and a rear needlebeds by a turning action at a point of time when connection of cylindrical knitted fabric parts and formation of a gore start. The position of the standard boundary part is set based on the front and rear difference of a gore and the turning amount caused by the front and rear difference. The front and the rear knitted fabric parts are knitted from the knitting start to a gore formation position according to the set position, the connection side boundary part is positioned between the front and the rear needlebeds by turning and the knit stitch of the nonconnection side knitting width end part on the needlebed on which a small knitted fabric part of a gore is turned to another needlebed to form the gore.
