WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/138415
Kind Code:

Abstract:
A knitting mechanism 7 of a knitting machine 1 knits a knitted product by overlaying knit fabric in multiple layers. When knitting a knitted product, the knitting mechanism 7: retains loops formed when knitting the knit fabric of the Nth layer -1 (N being an integer of 2 or more) even after completion of the knitting of the knit fabric of the Nth layer -1; and when knitting stitches of the knit fabric of the Nth layer, retains loops already formed in the Nth layer, knits stitches by passing new knitting yarn through both the retained loops already formed in the Nth layer and, of the retained loops of the Nth layer -1, the loops at positions corresponding to the positions of the loops already formed in the Nth layer, and releases the retention of the loops at said corresponding positions in accordance with the knitting of the stitches. Meanwhile, the retention of the loops already formed in the Nth layer is continued even after completion of the knitting of the knit fabric of the Nth layer. As a result, the knitting mechanism 7 knits a knitted product comprising multiple layers of knit fabric, wherein two layers of knit fabric that are adjacent in the vertical direction are joined by connections between loops that are present at mutually corresponding positions.
