(57) Provided is a knitting method of a knitted fabric having a multilayered structure
capable of knitting an outer knitted fabric portion in a full gauge state when knitting
a knitted fabric having a multilayered structure including an outer knitted fabric
portion and an inner knitted fabric portion. The number of knitting courses of an
outer front portion 1F is increased from a standard arrangement in which the outer
knitted fabric portion (outer front portion 1F, outer back portion 1B) is held in
a full gauge state on a lower front needle bed (FD) and a lower back needle bed (BD),
and the inner knitted fabric portion (inner front portion 2F) is held in a half gauge
state on an upper front needle bed (FU) using a four-bed flat knitting machine including
two pairs of front and back needle beds arranged one above the other. In this case,
some stitches of the outer back portion 1B held on the BU on an opposing side 9, which
faces a side (reference side 8) on which the inner front portion 2F is held, are transferred
to the FU (S2, S3). The stitches of the inner front portion 2F are transferred from
the reference side 8 to the knitting needles, which became empty needles due to the
transfer, (S4), and the number of knitting courses of the outer front portion 1F is
increased (S5). The arrangement state of each portion 1F, 1B, 2F is then returned
to the standard arrangement (S6 to S8).
