A method for manufacturing a knitted fabric embodying a basic knit, into which at least one functional yarn filament, such as an electrically conductive yarn filament, is incorporated as a vertical yarn filament (F). The basic knit is formed from a first and a second yarn (F, F) using a plaiting technique. The vertical yarn filament (F) is incorporated by a third yarn carrier (FF) positioned, on a third yarn carrier rail located between respective yarn carrier rails for the first and the second yarn carriers (FF, FF), at a location at which the vertical yarn filament (F) is to be incorporated. During formation of a sequence of stitch rows (MR-MR) using the first and second yarns (F, F), the first yarn (F) is guided over the vertical yarn filament (F) on a front side of the knitted fabric and the second yarn (F) is guided over the vertical yarn filament (F) on a back side of the knitted fabric.

Disclosed is a method of producing tubular knitted articles for ready-to-wear clothes pieces, on a flat knitting machine with at least two oppositely located needle beds and a carriage with at least three knitting systems. In a first carriage passage narrowing of a knitted piece suspended on a front needle bed in one edge region, stitch formation for a knitted piece suspended on a rear needle bed, and reduction of a rear knitted piece in an opposite edge region of the knitted piece are performed. In a second carriage passage narrowing of the rear knitted piece in one edge region, stitch formation for the front knitted piece, and narrowing of the front knitted piece in an opposite region of the knitted piece are performed. The two proceeding steps are repeated until a desired narrowing of a knitted product is provided.

For mesh widening of a hose-shaped knitted piece on a double bed flat knitting machine knitting a mesh row is knitted in a carriage direction from left to right on a front needle bed and subsequently a mesh row is knitted in the carriage direction from right to left on a rear needle bed. Then a mesh row is knitted in the carriage direction from left to right on the front needle bed and a loop is formed on a previously free edge needle of the front needle bed, a mesh row is formed in the carriage direction from right to left on the rear needle bed, the loop is transferred with a first knitting system in the carriage direction from left to right on an empty needle of the rear needle bed with a further knitting system knitting a mesh row on the front needle bed. Finally, a mesh row is formed in the carriage direction from right to left with cooperation of the edge needle with the loop, a mesh row is knitted in the carriage direction from left to right on the front needle bed, and a mesh row is knitted in the opposite carriage direction of the rear needle bed.

Three variations of a process for interconnecting the sleeves and the torso portion of a sleeved clothing article during production of the sleeved clothing article on a two bed flat bed knitting machine include one variation of the process which provides sleeves having seam regions extending perpendicularly to the shoulders; another variation which provides sleeves having seam regions extending at an angle to the shoulders; and further variations which provides raglan sleeves.
