When a first knitted fabric (6) and second and third knitted fabrics (4, 5) sandwiching the first knitted fabric (6) therebetween are knitted and then loops of final courses of the second and third knitted fabrics (4, 5) are laid over loops of the first knitted fabric (6) at side ends thereof sequentially from one side thereof closer to the first knitted fabric (6) toward the other side, to join together the first knitted fabric and the second and third knitted fabrics (4, 5), the second knitted fabric (4) and the third knitted fabric (5) are held on different needle beds arranged in front and back, respectively, and the first knitted fabric (6) and the third knitted fabric (5) are both shifted toward the second knitted fabric. Then, after the first knitted fabric (6) is switched between the front and back needle beds, the loops of the first knitted fabric (6) at a side end thereof on the second knitted fabric side and the loops of the second knitted fabric (4) at a side end thereof are laid over each other and the loops of the third knitted fabric (5) at a side end thereof and the loops of the first knitted fabric (6) at a side end thereof on the third knitted fabric side are laid over each other. Thereafter, a yarn is fed to the first knitted fabric (6) to form loops of the next course. This knitting repeated can reduce the number of times for the loops of the knitted fabrics to be transferred between the front and back needle beds, so as to join together the knitted fabrics, as compared with the knitting wherein the moving of the knitted fabrics to be close to each other and the joining of the same can be provided solely by switching the knitted fabrics between the front and back needle beds by the loop transfer therebetween. |
