BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for knitting a three-dimensional knitted fabric having corners.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Up to now, a cover for covering the surface of a three-dimensional object is knitted as a three-dimensional knitted fabric having a corner on a knitting machine in accordance with the shape to save the labor of sewing work. A knitting method for the purpose is used.

A conventional method for knitting a three-dimensional knitted fabric having corners is, for example, a cover 102 including a front face portion 10, left side face portions 11 and 14, right side face portions 12 and 15, and an upper face portion 13 as shown in FIG. When knitting, first, as shown in FIG. 10-1, the cover 10 is formed at the completion of knitting with the needles A to C on the front needle bed.
The left side surface 11 of 2 is knitted with the needles D to F as the front surface portion 10 and the needles G to I as the right side surface portion 12 are knitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10-2, after a part of the knitting needles located in the knitting region is in a resting state, the knitting proceeds, and then the knitting needles in the resting state are supplied with knitting yarns again for knitting. In order to perform the flechage knitting, the left side surface portion 11 and the right side surface portion 1
2 puts the knitting needle A and the knitting needle I, which are respectively located at the end wale, into a rest state, supplies the knitting yarns to the needles B to H of the front needle bed, and further, in FIG. 10-4, the knitting yarns are supplied to the needles C to G of the needle bed, and in FIG. 10-4, the knitting needles C and G are stopped and the knitting yarns are supplied to the knitting needles D to F of the front needle bed.

Next, in FIG. 10-5, conversely, the knitting yarn is supplied to the needles C to G on the front needle bed including the knitting needle C and the knitting needle G which are in the rest state, and the left side surface portion 14 is fed to the needle D by the needle C. The upper surface portion 13 is continuously knitted with the needles F through F, and the right side surface portion 15 is continuously knitted with the needle G.

Next, in FIG. 10-6, the needles B to H on the front needle bed are shown.
In FIG. 10-7, the knitting yarn is supplied to the needles A to I on the front needle bed. As a result, the left side surfaces 11 and 1
4 and the right side surface portions 12 and 15 are connected to each other to form the cover 102 as shown in FIG.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In the conventional knitting method for a three-dimensional knitted fabric having a corner portion by flechage knitting described above,
By performing the flechage knitting, the line connecting the points W and Z on the right side surface portion 12 and the points W and V on the right side surface portion 15 as shown in FIG.
The line connecting the points Z and V is connected so as to overlap. As a result, the right side surface portions 12 and 15 are bent and positioned on the side surface of the cover 102 as shown in FIG.
Similarly, the left side surfaces 11 and 14 are located on the left side surface. Therefore, in the state where the knitting is completed, the connecting portion between the right side surface portion 12 and the right side surface portion 15 appears on the side surface of the cover, and the right side surface portion 12 and the right side surface portion 15 having different wale directions appear on the same plane, which makes the appearance unsatisfactory.

In order to make the connecting portion inconspicuous, the connecting portion represented by the line connecting the points VZ and W in FIG.
It is conceivable to knit the right side surface portion 12 up to the line connecting the point W and the point X parallel to the point W when attempting to bring it closer to the bent portion represented by the line connecting the points. In this case, since the right side surface portion 11 and the upper surface portion 12 cannot be connected, a three-dimensional knitted fabric is not obtained. Therefore, in the method of flechage knitting, the connecting portion always appears on the side surface, and the knitted fabric does not look good.

Further, in the flechage knitting, the same course is knitted with the same yarn, so that the colors cannot be changed even when it is desired to make the front and side surfaces of the cover different colors.

If the front surface portion 10 and the upper surface portion 13 are knitted with different colors, the right side surface portion 12 and the right side surface portion 15 having different colors appear on the same plane, which is unsatisfactory.
