| (54) | Knitting method on a flat knitting machine having a plurality of yarn feeders and a corresponding knitted fabric |
| (57) To provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric enabling knitting while preventing
a cross-over yarn portion, which connects two knitted fabric portions at positions
spaced apart in the wale direction of the knitted fabric, from becoming a free state,
and a knitted fabric knitted by applying such knitting method of the knitted fabric.
A preceding stitch row (knitting needle G of FB) is knitted with a knitting yarn from
a yarn feeder 9 on a far side with respect to a FB, which is a target needle bed,
on which knitting is carried out (S2), and the yarn feeder 9 is once moved towards
the preceding stitch row side of a stitch (knitting needle G of FB) at a termination
of the preceding stitch row (S3). A yarn feeder 8 on a near side with respect to the
FB is moved in the direction opposite to the direction of forming the preceding stitch
row so that the knitting yarn extending from the yarn feeder 8 intersect at the upper
side of the needle bed gap of the knitting yarn extending from the yarn feeder 9 (S3).
A trailing stitch row, which is the rest of the preceding stitch row, is then knitted
with the yarn feeder 9 (S4).
