Abstract
The present invention provides a knitting method that when a knitted fabric having a wide rib structure formed by the plating using a front knitting yarn and a back knitting yarn different in color from each other, in particular, using a flat knitting machine, can make less noticeable a blur of the knitted fabric at an end of the knitting width to thereby produce a good looking wide rib structure. Using a flat knitting machine, a front stitch of the rib structure of one knitted fabric at an end of a knitted width thereof on the side on which the crossing of the knitting yarns used for the plating occurs is formed as a front stitch on the edge, and a back stitch of the rib structure of the other knitted fabric on that side is formed as a back stitch on the edge. After the front stitch of the rib structure of the one knitted fabric is knitted, the back stitch of the rib structure of the other knitted fabric is knitted changing a knitting direction, whereby the crossing is located in a crossover portion of the wide rib and thereby the blur of the knitting yarns is made less noticeable.
