Abstract
When knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a difference in the number of wales between a front knitted fabric and a back knitted fabric, knitted fabrics are knitted alternately while turning the tubular knitted fabric and jointing the front section having a large number of wales at middle portions. In one example embodiment, turning is performed such that one boundary of boundaries coupling the fabrics is positioned between front and back needle beds. The numbers of wales of the fabrics caught on the needle beds on both sides are equalized and the fabric of the front section having a large number of wales is knitted from one boundary to the joints at a middle portion of the knitting width. Subsequently, the tubular fabric is turned such that the other boundary is positioned between the needle beds, and the fabric is knitted from the boundary of the front section to the joints and then coupled.
