Abstract:
A knitting article is produced on a flat knitting machine with at least two needle beds by providing a knitted article with at least one button-shaped knitted stitch structure as a fastener, and converting the structure into several successive rows by knitting with a local stitch aggregation. Also, the stitch structure can be produced by a wedge forming technique with subsequent closing with a knitted-in knot thread. Also, the stitch structure can be formed by knitting with a small knitting strip connected at both ends with the knitted article.
Abstract:
The method according to the invention permits the tying off of the free yarn ends, for example in Intarsia knit regions, with a straight knitting machine forming the knit goods without additional auxiliary devices which can negatively influence the structure of the knit goods. The method, in one of its most general forms, includes the steps of looping a new yarn strand in the vicinity of an Intarsia knit region edge of the knit goods with needles of a first and second needle bed to form at least one loop having legs; during successive carriage displacements, crossing both legs of at least one loop formed in the first needle bed to form a crossed-over yarn portion associated with the at least one loops; and looping the at least one loop having the legs crossed over on a needle of the second needle bed via the crossed-over portion.
