ABSTRACT:
A method of knitting in pleats according to the present invention comprises the steps of: knitting a succession of surf ace knitted sections, fold-back knitted sections, and overlap knitted sections with the use of arrays of knitting needles mounted on at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, one or both of which are arranged movable leftward and rightward; removing the fold-back knitted sections from the corresponding needles after fastening of thread ends; displacing the surface knitted section and/or the overlap knitted section close to the needles, from which the fold-back knitted sections are removed, so that they are located next to each other; loading a succession of the surface, overlap, and surface knitted sections onto the array of needles on one of the two needle beds; after moving the other needle bed in a direction opposite to the fold-back direction of the bold-back section, loading the overlap or surface knitted section onto the knitting needles of the other needle bed; after moving the other needle bed in the knitting direction of the fold-back knitted section, overlapping the overlap section with the surface section through stitch shifting; and binding the overlapped regions in pleats.
