Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2305867A1] Disclosed is a method for determining the gauge of a knitted article 40, including the steps of: knitting a plurality of samples (12, 13, 14) that are smaller than the knitted article (40) and have different aspect ratios, by using a flat knitting machine (10); measuring the width and height of each of the samples (12, 13, 14); obtaining a correction function for correcting the size of stitches on the basis of the ratio between the measured width and height; and determining the number of knitting courses and the number of needles for each of parts of the knitted article 40, from the size of the stitches obtained from each sample (12, 13, 14), the obtained correction function, and target width and height of each of the parts of the knitted article 40. Accordingly, the number of knitting courses for the knitted article (40) can be determined easily and reliably.
