Abstract
A method for processing end portion of fabric knitted by a flat knitting machine wherein integration of fabrics and the anti-raveling of end portion at the completion of knitting are carried out and the joined portion is not projected out of the surface of fabric. Two feeders which travel different orbits on a needle bed are used, a yarn on the front yarn feeder is fed to a needle of the back bed while a yarn on back yarn feeder is fed to a needle of front bed so that the yarns on both the yarn feeders are intertwined with each other to form a loop of fabric, and the formed loop is transferred to the needle adjacent thereto to overlap the loop to integrally connect the fabric.
