Flat-bed knitter - gives firm ends to linked fabric sections developed in succession

摘要

To give a constant flow of garment sections from a flatbed knitter, each linked together, at least one row of stitches is executed at the end of the knitted section, using only a part of the needles of at least one needle bed, separated from each other by other needles. This is formed by a row of stitches with a separating yarn developed by unused needles. Through repeated changes of the needle beds, the stitches are suspended and a firm fabric closure is knitted from one side edge of the knitted material. When the separating yarn row is formed, the sepg yarn is worked into catch loops by the free needles of only one needle bed. To form the firm fabric closure end, initially a needle bed is displaced by at least one needle interval and an edge stitch is formed by the displaced needle bed. ADVANTAGE - The technique gives a firm edge to each of the fabric sections.
