ABSTRACT:
In a flat knitting machine wherein a plurality of knitting locks work on a single needle bed to knit, the consumption of each yarn is measured and compared with the standard yarn length, and the stitch cam adjustment values of the respective knitting locks are corrected. The stitch cam adjustment data is stored for the respective combinations of stitch cams and yarns. Correction is not limited to the stitch cam which knitted the yarn of which consumption was measured. Correction by the same value is also given to the stitch cam adjustment values of other stitch cams relative to the yarn. As a result, for any combination of a stitch cam and a yarn which appears suddenly in the latter half of knitting, the stitch cam adjustment values have been corrected on the basis of the measurement of consumed yarn lengths of other stitch cams, generating no knitting gaps.
