Abstract

A method for manufacturing a peak-integrated type cap that can reduce the number of sewing processes required is provided. The method includes the steps of: forming one side of a head fitting part in an one-to-one knitting pattern, while forming a peak on the center thereof in a plain knitting pattern, the peak formed by using a select knitting manner where it is decreased in width and increased at the time of reaching a predetermined width and also knitted by connecting the both peripheries thereof such that it is generally in the shape of a pocket; forming a folding part such that the other side of the head fitting part knitted in abutment with the one side thereof is easily folded; and forming the root part of the peak, while the other side of the head fitting part is being formed.
