Abstract (en)

A method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric of three-dimensional silhouette shape includes knitting a tubular fabric, which consists of a front half and a back half joined at side ends to each other, with the use of a flat knitting machine having four, upper front, lower front, upper rear, and lower rear, needle beds (BU,BD,FD,FU). The number of wales at one of the two, front and back, halves of the tubular fabric is increased or decreased so that a difference in the wale number is given between the two halves. During the transfer of loops of yarn from one needle bed which carries a more number of wales to another needle bed which carries a less number of wales, the yarn is tucked on an unoccupied knitting needle of the needle bed disposed opposite to the needle bed to which the loops are transferred. During the knitting of a portion containing the loops to be transferred, the yarn is threaded through knitting needles of the needle bed which carry no loops. The loops are transferred by knocking over across the tucked loop on the unoccupied knitting needle. <IMAGE>
