PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a linking method and a linking device capable of performing an automatic fast and accurate piercing work of a point needle into a cross-stitch knitted into a knitted cloth and further capable of performing a rigid linking of the knitted cloth.;SOLUTION: A main body mechanism 100 including an insert 110 passing through a sock and expanding it, a needle piercing mechanism 120 a CCD camera 140 and a computer 150 is used for detecting simultaneously an initial cross- stitch (S108) for a front side and a rear side, thereafter detecting a position of the cross-stitch (S112), repeating a point needle positional alignment (S114) and a point needle piercing (S116). Upon the completion of the piercing of the point needle, the point needle is returned to the initial position (S120). Upon the completion of the processing for both surfaces, the insert 110 is pulled out (S122), the sock W is shifted to one point needle (S124) to perform a cross- stitching work (S126). In addition, a semi-automatic processing performed by a temporary setting needle or an automatic processing performed by both-end fine insert member can also be carried out.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
