A method of producing a knitting on a flat knitting machine with two opposite needle beds and a loop transferring device includes forming a knitting which has a base knitting and at least one parallel knitting partially overlapping the base knitting and formed of at least two flat knittings arranged in parallel planes, binding at least in a region of at least one parallel knitting at most each second needle of a needle bed with a loop of the base knitting and emptying a needle of the other needle bed which is opposite to the bound needle of the one needle bed, producing one of the flat knittings of the parallel knittings on the needle bed which is opposite to the needle bed for forming the base knitting, and producing the other flat knitting in the empty needles of the needle bed on which the base knitting is formed.
