METHOD OF KNITTING STITCH COURSES OF ELASTIC HOSIERY WELT OR THE LIKE

摘要

In this process, stitches (a) consisting of a thicker yarn (P1) than the yarn for knitting the knitted article and then stitches consisting of a thinner yarn (P2) than the yarn for knitting the knitted article are knitted. Further stitches (c) are knitted with the first needles and tuck stitches (b) are knitted with the other needles, after which an elastic yarn (P3) is knitted in by means of the other needles. This ensures that the stitches (a) and the tuck stitches (b) in the stitch wale (1) are located more on one side of the fabric and the stitches (a) and (c) in the stitch wale (2) are located more on the other side of the fabric, so that the edge contracts to a smaller diameter and is sprung in the same way as a double-knitted article.
