A method for joining tubular knitted sleeves with a tubular body part on a flat knitting machine

摘要

When knitting an article such as a sweater 1 in a tubular seamless manner on a flat knitting machine fashion lines 7 are formed spaced from the edges of the fabric simultaneously with shaping of the fabric. By a process including transfer of loops between the beds and relative racking of the beds loops of each bed are transferred to adjacent needles of the same bed and as a result superimposed loops 71-74 are formed on certain needles which form the respective fashion lines 7 of the front and rear fabrics. A raglan-style fashion line may be formed on a four-bed machine with three loops being superimposed on each relevant needle. IMAGE
