摘要

According to the method, a tubular article (M) is knitted by a circular needle bed (5) from said starting edge (B1) to a terminal edge (B2) designed to form a closed toe. According to the method, an elastic strip (F1) is formed by the needles along said terminal edge. When the elastic strip (F1) has been formed, the tubular article is fully released from the needles (5) of the circular needle bed and is engaged by means of said elastic strip with a transfer member (21) for transferring the completed tubular article out of the circular needle bed.
