the knitting needles within the knitting width of the rise 2, and a left leg portion
(branched portion) 4 following the rise 2 starts to be knitted (S3, S4). The stitches
of the FB in the formed range of the held stitches formed in S2 of the stitches of
the left leg portion 4 are transferred to the BB. The held stitches of the FB formed
