Apparatus for manually producing knitted fabrics comprises a base member having a series of upright knitting support members arranged around an outer edge of the base member and a support surface disposed inwardly of and adjacent to the support members. Slots are provided either along the sides of or through the middle of the support members, the slots extending downward to a location below the support surface. A needle includes an arched portion and two yarn-threading eyes, one eye located at the forward end of the needle, the other located at the crest of the arched portion, and is adapted to be inserted into the slot such that a loop of yarn supported by the support surface and surrounding the support member can be forced to ride onto the needle beyond the crest of the arch from a location on the inward-facing side of the support member, the needle being inserted into the slot from the outward facing side of the support member. |
