Abstract:
A knitting machine that is capable of: knitting a knitted product of high gauge while effectively preventing increase in the number of components in a needle selection mechanism, and performing knitting methods such as inlaid knitting easily and reliably. The knitting machine comprises a plurality of knitting needles each of which have a protrudingly provided butt and which are arranged substantially parallel to each other so as to be able to perform a knitting operation independently, a plurality of selectors that move the knitting needles toward a protruding side of the butt, and a carriage having a cam groove along which the butt of the knitting needle, which has been moved by the selector to the side where the butt is protrudingly provided, can slide, in which the selector moves at least two adjacent knitting needles simultaneously to the side where the butt is protrudingly provided.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a glove using a flat knitting machine, including a second pouch-like part forming step after knitting a first pouch-like part by means of a first knitting needle group. The second pouch-like part forming step includes a main body part knitting step of knitting a main body part and a pouch base part knitting step of knitting an annular pouch base part that is connected to the first pouch-like part. In the pouch base part knitting step, a first face of the annular pouch base part is knitted by a knitting needle, in the second knitting needle group, of a first row, for knitting one of the front cloth and the rear cloth, as well as a knitting needle, in the first knitting needle group, of the first row, that is adjacent to the second knitting needle group and corresponds to at least two hooks, and then a second face of the annular pouch base part is knitted by a knitting needle, in the first knitting needle group, of a second row that faces the knitting needle in the first knitting needle group that has knitted the first face of the pouch base part, as well as a knitting needle, in the second knitting needle group, of the second row.
