Abstract

A method of producing of spacial, single or multi-layer knitting articles on a flat knitting machine having at least two needle beds and a loop transfer device, has the steps of knitting of knitting rows with a number and width a corresponding to a spacial structure of a knitting article to be produced and corresponding to material and machine properties, selecting a sequence of the knitting rows so that a maximum possible uniform distribution of the knitting rows of different width and thereby reverse points in a knitting direction over the knitted article is provided, and for each loop row selecting a loop size so that a desired geometrical structure of the knitting article is obtained in an optimal manner.
