DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a symmetrical toe according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a sock type sock in which a toe portion as shown in FIG. 1 is symmetrical for a right foot and a left foot using a flat knitting machine, and reference numeral 1 in the drawing denotes this sock type sock. Shown overall.

In the flat knitting machine used in this embodiment, a needle bed on which a knitting needle is slidably mounted is disposed in front and rear in a "C" shape in a side view in a state in which the teeth are close to each other. A known structure is used in which each knitting needle is moved forward and backward by a carriage that slides and runs on the upper surface of each needle bed, and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking).

[0009] The sock 1, the knitting yarn and yarn is fed in a zigzag over the knitting needles of the front and rear of the needle bed of the flat knitting machine devise a foot insertion opening 2. The knitting of the foot insertion opening 2 is performed by a rib knit into which a rubber thread is inserted and which has high elasticity. Next, the ankle 4 is knitted from the foot insertion opening 2 through the calf 3 portion. In this portion, a cable pattern is knitted in the wale direction. The loops of the ends knitted in a tubular shape on the knitting needles of the needle bed before and after are respectively moved inward, and the diameter of the tubular knitted fabric is gradually reduced to form the small-diameter ankle portion 4.

When the small-diameter ankle portion 4 is formed, the ends of the knitting needles of the needle beds before and after the flat knitting machine are gradually knitted at the ends knitted in a tubular shape to form a heel portion. At the heel portion 5, the knitting needles of the front needle bed knitting on the front surface side of the foot are stopped, and the knitting yarn is supplied to the knitting needles of the rear needle bed on the heel portion 5 side (back surface side). After the knitting width is reduced to a predetermined width in a state where the portion is tacked, the knitting width is returned again, and the heel portion 5
Bulges are knitted.

After the heel portion 5 is knitted, the upper portion 7 up to the vicinity of the toe portion 6 is knitted into a substantially straight cylindrical shape with a cable pattern continuously formed.

When the toe portion 6 is reached, the little finger portion 8
Transfer the loops locked to the knitting needles of the needle bed before and after the side near the side, for example, about 3 loops from the end to the middle side, to the adjacent middle loop, and then knit the yarn back and forth. When the tubular knitted fabric is formed by supplying the knitting needles of the bed in a circular shape, the loop of the tubular knitted fabric is reduced before and after the loop on the side of the second small finger 8 in total.

[0013] This will be described with reference to FIG. 2, a course in the drawing the lowermost starts knitting of toe portion 6, a knitting needle 40 present by one of front and rear needle beds, a tubular knitted fabric with a total of 80 this is Is formed.

In the next course, a loop outside the above-mentioned predetermined loop on the little finger portion 8 side is moved so that the predetermined loop is overlapped with the adjacent middle loop, and then the front and rear needle beds are moved. When the knitting yarn is supplied in a circular shape over the knitting needles to form a tubular knitted fabric, the number of loops having been 80 in the past is reduced by two to 78. These steps are repeated until the number of loops reaches 36.

[0015] When the loop is 36 eyes, then the thumb portion 9 side end and the little finger portion 8 side of the end portion of each of the loops 2 th increments Reduced by 32 th tubular fabric.

[0016] Thereafter, the knitting course to reduce the loop of the little finger portion 8 side, and the knitting course thumb portion 9 side and the little finger portion 8 side of the loop is reduced is repeated appropriately, 2
When the upper and uppermost loops are at the tip of the toe portion 6 represented by the twelfth loop, the loops locked by the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds are transferred to the knitting needles of one of the needle beds, and the knitting needles are doubled. The loop is locked, and a knitting yarn is supplied here to form a new loop.

[0017] Thereafter, the new loop one short little finger portion 8 side forming the heel portion 5, as shown in FIG. 1 when shake off and bind-off process toward the other knitted fabric from the needle bed from a On the side of the thumb 9, the sock 1 having a symmetrical toe with a bent tip is completed.

The foot 10 on which the sock 1 is worn is formed as described above, since the little finger 11 is short and the ring finger 12, middle finger 13, forefinger 14 and thumb 15 are gradually longer as shown in FIG. When the sock 1 is worn, the knitted fabric of the sock 1 from the little finger 11 to the thumb 15 does not loosen and fits the shape of the toe moderately.

Further, FIGS. 4 to 6 show a variation of each toe portion, 4 and 2 points so as to outwardly gradually decreasing eye thumb portion 9 of the ones of Figure 5 In contrast, the other points are the same as those in the above-described example. Among them, FIG.
Is designed to reduce eyes near the tip of the outside of the thumb portion 9.

FIG . 6 differs from the above-described embodiment in that the outside of the thumb portion 9 is substantially linear.

In each of the above-described examples, the knitting is performed from the foot insertion opening 2 side. However, the present invention can, of course, be carried out when the knitting is performed from the toe side to the foot insertion opening 2. is there. In this case, contrary to the above-described embodiment, the additional stitch portion is increased. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described socks, but can be practiced as long as the knitted fabric has a toe portion such as tights.

[0022]

As described above, the method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric having symmetrical toes such as socks and tights according to the present invention is , as described above, a knitted fabric that extends from the tip of the little finger to the outside of the little finger. From the stitch to the knitted fabric on the index finger side, gradually reduce the size of the toe knitted fabric facing the tip of the little finger, and gradually increase the size of the toe knitted fabric from the little finger side to the forefinger side. When wearing such a knitted fabric such as socks or tights on the toe, the knitted fabric does not loosen from the thumb to the little finger, fits the shape of the foot moderately, and for a long time There is an advantage that it can be worn comfortably, and there is an advantage that its commercial value can be significantly improved.

Further , since the toe portion of the knitted fabric from the thumb to the little finger fits the shape of the foot moderately and does not draw the thumb inward on the thumb side as in the prior art, it does not promote the hallux valgus. It also has the advantage of being healthier.
