Abstract
In joining fabrics on a flat knitting machine, more specifically joining sleeves to a body, stitch courses are formed on both of the body and the sleeves. A stitch of the edge portion of a sleeve is overlapped with a stitch of the edge portion of the body. Stitch courses are formed on the body and on the edge portions of a sleeve. At least one stitch of the edge portion of the sleeve is overlapped with at least one adjacent stitch of the sleeve. With the decrease in knitting width, when joining the body and sleeve, double stitches are formed in two wales, on the edge portion of the body and on the edge portion of the sleeve.
