<p>This invention relates to a single- or double-Jersey knitted fabric which not only has a closed starting seam, but also a closed terminal seam (24, 24', 24'') which can follow a line of any shape, and a method of making the same on a machine having stitch-forming elements and having an arrangement for transferring and racking the formed stitches. The closed terminal seam (24) of the fabric may for example be formed by transferring the last terminal seam stitch (16), then racking the same, and finally transferring it to the next seam stitch and then knitting the two transferred stitches with a thread (25, 22) which may be either a separate thread or one used to form the remainder of the fabric. The linking stitch so formed (31) is then racked again and the next-succeeding selvedge stitch transferred thereto before being knitted with the thread into a further linking stitch.</p> |
