    摘要: The present invention relates to a customized, flat-knit multizonal element for a shoe upper and a method of producing such an element that allows for continuous knitting while controlling positioning of individual threads. For example, one or more carriages may move continuously along the needle bed while threads are provided to the needles for a complete stroke. Knit elements may include multiple zones with differing properties. Threads may alter positions within knit structures from zone to zone. A knit element may include a first zone in a first plane that includes at least two merged threads to form a merged knit structure and a second zone in a second plane connected to the first zone seamlessly. Some knit structures may be positioned throughout the knit element such that they control a position of zones relative to each other.
