Abstract

A knitting method of joining together adjacent fabrics (3, 5), which are arranged side by side and knitted in a tubular form, at ends thereof on the sides adjacent to each other by using a flat knitting machine so that the joining portion of knitwear, such as a side part of sweater or at a crotch of pants, is prevented from being holed and is also increased in pull strength. The knitting progresses from one of the tubular knitted fabrics (3) to the other tubular knitted fabric (5) to join together the tubular fabrics, during which a yarn is fed to needles holding loops formed one stitch backward with respect to a join processing direction to provide a tubular knitting for the needles, followed by shifting the yarn to needles holding loops formed two stitches forward with respect to the join processing direction, to provide the same tubular knitting as above for the needles, the knitting steps being repeatedly performed.
