A knitting method of a knitted fabric in which a lower knitted fabric portion on a lower side in a wale direction of a knitted fabric is knitted using a first yarn feeder (8; 9), which is one of a plurality of yarn feeders (8; 9), an intermediate knitted fabric portion continuing to an upper side in the wale direction of the lower knitted fabric portion is knitted using a second yarn feeder (9; 8), which is a yarn feeder different from the first yarn feeder (8; 9), and an upper knitted fabric portion continuing to an upper side in the wale direction of the intermediate knitted fabric portion is knitted using again the first yarn feeder (8; 9) when knitting the knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine having at least one needle bed (FB, BB) and a plurality of yarn feeders (8, 9) for feeding a knitting yarn to knitting needles of the needle bed (FB, BB); wherein assuming the second yarn feeder (9; 8) is a far side yarn feeder (9; 8) on a far side seen from a target needle bed (FB; BB) and the first yarn feeder (8; 9) is a near side yarn feeder (8; 9) on a near side seen from the target needle bed (FB; BB) with respect to the target needle bed (FB; BB) on which the knitting is carried out when knitting the intermediate knitted fabric portion using either the front or the back needle bed (FB; BB), or when knitting the intermediate knitted fabric portion using both the front and back needle beds (FB; BB), when knitting a unit stitch row for one course of the intermediate knitted fabric portion in a series in a longitudinal direction of the needle bed (FB; BB) in the target needle bed (FB; BB), the method being characterized by step A of knitting a preceding stitch row, which is one part of the unit stitch row, with a knitting yarn from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8) so that a knitting yarn from the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) is not hooked by the knitting yarn from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8); step B of, after step A, moving the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) in a direction opposite to the direction of forming the preceding stitch row in step A so that the knitting yarn extending from the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) intersect at an upper side of a needle bed gap of the knitting yarn extending from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8); and step C of, after step B, knitting a trailing stitch row, which is the rest of the preceding stitch row, of the unit stitch row knitted with the target needle bed (FB; BB). step A of knitting a preceding stitch row, which is one part of the unit stitch row, with a knitting yarn from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8) so that a knitting yarn from the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) is not hooked by the knitting yarn from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8); step B of, after step A, moving the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) in a direction opposite to the direction of forming the preceding stitch row in step A so that the knitting yarn extending from the near side yarn feeder (8; 9) intersect at an upper side of a needle bed gap of the knitting yarn extending from the far side yarn feeder (9; 8); and step C of, after step B, knitting a trailing stitch row, which is the rest of the preceding stitch row, of the unit stitch row knitted with the target needle bed (FB; BB).
