Abstract of US2008169041
In a tubular knitted fabric with a stripe pattern knitted by a flat knitting machine, to cause cross-over yarns to appear inside the tubular knitted fabric so as to eliminate cutting operation of the cross-over yarns. For each knitting of a plurality of courses, a first knitted fabric portion and a second knitted fabric portion are continuously knitted by switching a first knitting yarn and a second knitting yarn. The first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are knitted by continuously performing a first knitting process for knitting the first knitted fabric and a second knitting process for knitting the second knitted fabric alternately. In each knitting process, knitting of one course is started from a part inside an end part of the knitting width of a front side knitted fabric (back side knitted fabric) by using a back side yarn feeding member (front side yarn feeding member), and while connecting the knitting start point and the knitting end point of the course so as to form a tubular shape, turn-back knitting is performed to the next course. At the turn-back position, the respective knitting yarns are made to cross inside the knitting width.
