Abstract
A method for knitting a shoe upper capable of forming a new stretch preventing section different from a conventional stretch preventing section, and a shoe upper obtained through such knitting method are provided. The shoe upper including a base knitted fabric portion (F) that covers a foot of a wearer is knitted. In the knitting, a stretch preventing section () configured by a knitted fabric of a plain structure is knitted, where one end in a wale direction is connected to the base knitted fabric portion (F) and another end in the wale direction is not connected to the base knitted fabric portion (F). The stretch preventing section () in which one end is fixed and the other end is not fixed is curled to a tubular shape. The curled stretch preventing section () is thicker than the other portions, thus suppressing the stretch of the shoe upper.
