(54) Knit design apparatus


(57) In a course in which a cam system (C1) on the front side in the travelling direction of a carriage (34) of a flat knitting machine (32) knits a first knitted fabric (A) on the rear side in the travelling direction with respect to the boundary between intarsia pattern portions and a cam system (C2) on the rear side in the travelling direction knits a second knitted fabric (B) on the front side in the travelling direction with respect to the boundary, a knit design apparatus (2) detects from knitting data a stitch that is at an end of the first knitted fabric (A) and that projects further to the front side in the travelling direction than a course knitted immediately before, as a first stitch (K3-2, 45). In a case where the first stitch (K3-2, 45) is detected, a second stitch (46) in the second knitted fabric (B) positioned one course below the first stitch (K3-2, 45) is replaced by a miss stitch.
