Abstract (en)

The invention provides a method (20) for knitting and forming a weft-knitted fabric (10) with varying thickness by a flat knitting machine (30) and a weft-knitted fabric (10) thereof. The method (20) is implemented in at least one knitting process of the weft-knitted fabric (10), comprising steps of: driving the flat knitting machine (30) to knit a basic structure (11) by at least one of two needle beds (31, 32) of the flat knitting machine (30), and controlling the two needle beds (31, 32) on the flat knitting machine (30) to knit a three-dimensional structure (12) connected with the basic structure (11). A thickness of the three-dimensional structure (12) is greater than a thickness of the basic structure (11), the three-dimensional structure (12) comprises two surface layer portions (121, 122) and a supporting portion (123) connected with the two surface layer portions and located between the two surface layer portions (121, 122). Ajunction (13) between the three-dimensional structure (12) and the basic structure (11) is without the supporting portion (123).
