ABSTRACT:
A method of forming piping at an end of a knitted fabric for a knitted garment by using a flat knitting machine. At a point at which piping is to begin loops which compose the knitted fabric are held on the front or rear needles and the other needles are held empty and elastic yarn is hooked by specified front and rear needles. The piping fabric part is knitted only by the knitting needles on one side or by both the knitting needles on one side and the empty needles on the other side. The loops at the end of this piping fabric part and the previously hooked elastic yarn are joined together to form the piping and then the loops of the joined part are released from the knitting needles using the elastic yarn.
