Set up method of knitted fabric

摘要

To provide a method of setting up a knitted fabric capable of preventing a set up portion of a knitted fabric from being stretched and loosened when knitting the set up portion of the knitted fabric. Stitches of a draw thread (20) following a final course of an existing knitted fabric held on a needle bed of a flat knitting machine in a wale direction are knitted (T1). Pick-up stitches are formed on a plurality of empty needles, on which the stitches of the draw thread (20) are not held, to knit a set up portion (30) of a knitted fabric (T2). Furthermore, the stitches of the draw thread (20) and the pick-up stitches of the set up portion (30) are overlapped (T3). The stitches following the set up portion (30) in the wale direction are knitted by front tubular knitting and back tubular knitting (T4,T5).
