 Partial knitting
I
PARTIAL KNITTING is used to shape a gentle slope, such as

Partia~
decreasing stitches
Partial knitting by
inc~
shoulder, darts, etc.
You can work partial knitting only to the opposite end to the
Carriage. If you wish to shape both sides. work left and right
alternately.
I

Decreasing stitches
Set Ru ssel Levers on Knitter and Ribber Carriage to I and -
positions respectively.
1. On the side opposite the Carriage, push needles to be
decreased to 0 position.

2. Knit 1 row. (The needles in B position knit the yarn. The

needles in Dposition remain inactive and the yarn passes over
them.)

3. To prevent a hole forming, pass the yarn under the first inside
needle in D position and over the remaining needles.

(If partial knitting is required at both sides. repeat step 1

before knitting next row.)

Be sure that yarn is not caught in Sinker Post 'Jl':

4. Knit 1 row. (If partial knitting is required at both sides. apply

step 3)

5. Repeat steps 1 - 4.

After completing partial knitting, continue as follows.

A. Rib without pattern
Pu sh the needles in D position at the opposite end to the
Carriage back to C position. Knit 1 row. Repeat this step if
part1al knitting has been worked at both ends.
B. Pattern knitting.
Using a Transfer Tool , return the needles in D position to B
position. at the opposite end to the Carriage. Knit 1 row.
Repeat this step if partial knitting has been worked at both
ends.

 Increasing stitches
Set Ru ss el Levers on Kni tter and Ribber Carriage to I and
positions re spectively.
1. On the side oppo site the Carriage. pu sh needles for the width
to be shaped by partial knitting to D position.

2. Knit 1 row. The needles in 8 position knit the yarn . The

needles in D position remain ina ctive and the yarn passes over
th em.

3. To prevent a hole forming. pa ss the yarn under the first in side

needle to D position and over the remaining needles.

(If partial knitting is required at both sides. repeat step 1.1

4. Knit 1 row.
(If partial knitting is required at both sides. apply step 3.1

5. 0n the side opposite Carriage. push needles in D position to

be increased back to C position. and knit 1 row.
When the pattern knitting is required, using a Transfer Tool,
return the needles to be increased to 8 position, and knit
1 row

6. Repeat step s 3 - 5. (If partial knitting has been worked at

both sides. repeat steps 3 and 5 only.l

 Partial knitting involving "swing"
Knitter needles in Dposition cross the opposite Ribber needles
in D position. Under this condition of needles, you must not
swing (by using Swing Handle) Needle Bed, or you will damage
the crossed needles. So, a special technique of partial knitting
as undermentioned is required for swung English rib, variation
swing, herringbone swing, swung pick rib and like stitches, all
of which involve "swing':

*When work1ng partial knitting in variation swing. knit pushing up

4 or 5 needles in B position to C position.

Partial knitting by decreasing stitches

Work in the same manner as for "Partial knitting without involving
swing", but work as follows instead of step (1).
On the side opposite Carriage. to hold stitches on Knitter to be
decreased, knit with Ravel Cord by hand and push needles back to
A position.
Push up corresponding Ribber needles to 0 position.

A-B At the completion of partial knitting, push needles in 0 position

on Ribber back to Cposition and replace stitches held on Ravel
Cord into hooks of needles on Knitter.

o-c

Partial knitting by increasing stitches

On the si de opposite Carriage, hold Knitter stitches to be shaped
by partial knitting, with Ravel Cord. in A position and correspond-
ing Ribber needles in 0 position.
At each step in increasing stitches. replace Knitter stitches back
into hooks and push corresponding Ribber needles in 0 position
back to C position. before knitting.
Other operations shou ld be carried out in the same manner as
decreasing.
To prevent the Ravel Cord from catching in the Knitter or Ribber
Carriage, drop the ends between the needle beds.
