That is, in the present invention, two fewer (n-2) rings than the total number of n rings constituting the motif are formed by simply winding silk thread in a spiral shape, and the central part is fastened with fine knitting using a crochet needle. After tying, one of the remaining two loops, number (n-1), is formed by stretching the stitches, and the other one, number n, is formed by the above ((n-1)). n-2)
The knitting yarn portions of a predetermined length (length of half the circumference of each of the above-mentioned rings) following the first ring and the (n-1)th ring of the above rings are knitted together and combined. This feature allows the desired motif to be knitted continuously without cutting the knitting yarn.
