Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2397588A1] The present invention provides an inner widening method for effectively preventing a hole from being formed in a location where a widening stitch is formed when an inner widening operation is carried out in knitting a knitted fabric. When the inner widening operation is carried out using a flat knitting machine, a preceding stitch row 1, an intermediate stitch row 3 and a following stitch row 5 each including a plurality of stitches are knitted in this order. At this time, one side widening stitch 2 is formed after knitting the preceding stitch row 1 and before knitting the intermediate stitch row 3, and the other side widening stitch 4 is formed after knitting the intermediate stitch row 3 and before knitting the following stitch row 5. The widening stitches 2 and 4 are inserted into a knitting width of the preceding stitch row 1 and a knitting width of the following stitch row 5, respectively. With this configuration, the knitting widths of the knitted fabric are increased by the widening stitches 2 and 4, and holes are prevented from being formed in locations where the widening stitches 2 and 4 are formed.
