Abstract

A method for producing a knitted article on a flat knitting machine with two opposite needle beds and a stitch hanging over device has the steps of providing a knitted article with a base knitted structure and at least one parallel partial knitted texture which partially overlaps the base knitted structure, equipping at least in a region of the parallel partial knitted structure at most each second needle of one needle bed with a stitch of the base knitted texture, emptying a needle of another needle bed which is opposite to the equipped needle of the one needle bed, producing stitches of at least one parallel partial knitted texture in needles which are not equipped with base knitting stitches, hanging over stitches of the base knitted texture in a region of at least one parallel partial knitted texture before producing of stitches for the parallel partial knitted texture on the other needle bed.
