METHOD OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF INTERNAL STITCHES, AND KNITTED FABRIC
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/073494
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method of increasing the number of internal stitches using a weft knitting machine, the method being able to increase the number of internal stitches without creating holes in the portions at which the additional stitches are formed and with a difference in external appearance between the front side and the rear side of the knitted fabric reduced.  Also provided is a knitted fabric produced using the method.  The method sets a start point stitch (1) and an end point stitch (2) and performs the following steps [1-3]: [1] a preparation step for forming stitches (4, 6) which follow both the start point stitch (1) and the end point stitch (2) and also forming hooked stitches (3, 5) on knitting needles located at positions substantially facing knitting needles with which the start point stitch (1) and the end point stitch (2) are engaged, [2] an additional-stitch forming step for forming new stitches (7, 9)(additional stitches) at the hooked stitches (3, 5), and [3] an additional-stitch arranging step for distributing the additional stitches (7, 9) which are formed by the additional-stitch forming step and the stitches (4, 6 (10, 11)) which are formed by the preparation step, the stitches (7, 9)(4, 6 (10, 11)) being distributed by racking of a needle bed and by stitch transfer so that the positions of the stitches (7, 9)(4, 6 (10, 11)) do not overlap with each other in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed.
