Knitting method for disposing unused yarn edge

摘要

A knitting method for disposing an unused yarn edge produced in yarn-in or a yarn-out operation. The knitting method includes forming that two or more unused-yarn-edge disposal loops are from the knitting yarn introduced in and/or drawn out in knitting a knitted fabric by using an empty needle around an end side of a knitted fabric body; and moving the unused-yarn-edge disposal loops thus formed and laying each disposal loop over loops of different courses of the knitted fabric body located at an end side thereof in knitting the next course of the knitted fabric body. This knitting method allows the unused yarn edge to be held in the knitted fabric by the loops of the knitted fabric, and as such can allow the unused yarn edge to be disposed by simply cutting it at its portion close to the knitted fabric, without the need of the linking.
