The invention relates to circular knitted hosiery, among others Term stockings, half-stockings and socks of any kind ™ are to be understood. Stockings are usually double-edged manufactured while half-stockings and in particular socks with ribbed edges, e.g. in "Richlieu" weave or another false one Rib binding.

The invention also relates exclusively to circular knitted hosiery of a previously proposed shape which, with the exception of the finishing operations including the closing of the tip part, is entirely manufactured on a circular knitting machine. In the knitting of a stocking this form, the tip portion of the double product knitted by a process which is usually similar to the production-a ^ edges of the envelope it is applied which is similar, ή _"η β a process which consists in that first a goods beginning and then one of the first rows of knitting is held by transfer elements in the manner of double-edged hooks in a dial, whereupon the knitting is continued on the needles until a sufficient length of turned or folded fabric has been formed, and that the stitches are then transferred to the needles , which are held by the double edge hooks to complete the lace goods, the actual formation of the lace pocket and its "closing" being done by the fact that the palte of the double goods on one

209833/0119

appropriate stage is contracted. In a known arrangement, the closing preferably takes place immediately before the stitches are transferred back onto the needles by a relative rotary movement between the double-edged dial and the needle cylinder of the circular knitting machine.

This relative rotation is usually 36o and can be at most expediently done in such a way that rotation of the dial is prevented during one revolution, although of course this relative rotation can also have a smaller amount. The result of this is that the two consecutively formed and coherent tubular outer and inner sections or layers of folded over Goods are rotated to form a pocket and at the same time close the opening of the hose. While however, the twist on the stocking lace occurs just prior to the back transfer the needles is executed, the actual rotation for closing the stocking point takes place with regard to the position instead of a pivot point or "pivot point" as it is sometimes referred to, which coincides with an imaginary line, which the folded stocking »lace goods in their the aforementioned two tubular outer and inner sections or subdivided into layers. During the twisting process, the beginning of each needle wale will be in alignment j brought with a needle, which facilitates the stitch transfer, through which the shape of the stocking tip pocket is maintained. If the relative rotation between! If you see the double-edged dial and the needle cylinder is 36o °, the beginning of a wale becomes natural borrowed brought back in alignment with itself. If ! the rotation of the lace stocking approximates about 36o °; the initially open end of the hose becomes so tight j concluded that each subsequent opening of the same by: the toe of the wearer in the area of rotation is closed *

209833/0119

In another known arrangement for carrying out the closing process, an additional yarn is used when knitting the length of the y / aren that is turned or folded over and the amount placed by one or more turns between the stitches of the held course and the knitted fabric. When these stitches are transferred back to the needles, the inserted additional yarn will be inside the folded over Goods included, whereupon the additional gran is tightened, whereby the pallet of the folded goods is pulled together or is gathered to effect the closure in the manner of a purse string.

Stockings of the type mentioned here were usually knitted with the U trump top first and ended with a folded edge. In other words, the formation of a folded edge has so far completed the production of the stocking instead of initiating it. In the past, it was essential to finish the knitting in such a way that the loops of stitches or the pulling of the yarns are prevented after they have been thrown off at the end of the double edge. This was achieved by knitting some rows of stitches of the goods in the form of a loop-proof strip or flap running around the inner section of the double edge (which in turn is related and connected to the outer section). \

In the method suggested earlier, the stocking lace to knit first, the stocking lace was just on half of the needles in the cylinder were knitted right or stockinette and the aim was to compensate for the weight of the fabric for the stocking lace pocket, which was composed of double fabrics.

When making a stocking with the stocking tip first, as previously described, there are several other disadvantages. First, it requires a time and

209833/0119

Costs of converting existing machines so that they put the stocking tip first instead of the usual first Can knit double edge. Second, it may not always be beneficial to only point the tip on half of the needles to knit in the machine. Thirdly, the circumferential, non-running strip or flap rolls up after turning of the edge is knitted, thereby giving an undesirable cord-like formation of unsightly appearance which extends around the double edge. In addition to these difficulties, knitting the Double edge lastly a problem with regard to the vacuum unit with which a modern hosiery knitting machine is conventional is provided downwards to remove the product when it is created. Such a vacuum unit therefore has to be modified considerably in order to maintain the quality when knitting the double edge

It is therefore an essential object of the invention to provide improved stockings of the type mentioned herein and a method of making the same, in which those occurring in knitting from the stocking point Disadvantages are avoided «

In addition, so far the two were tubular inner and outer sections or layers of stocking lace in a tubular knitted fabric of the shapes mentioned usually of the same design and "thickness", but with one finer knitted and less thick connecting part between them - supposedly to make it easier to close. In the case of heavier hosiery, such as women's support stockings (ladles's support hose), men's socks and baby socks (which heavier than, for example, a women's stocking knitted on 400 needles) a problem arises as a result of the considerable aggravation or accumulation of the goods in the Near the end of the stocking tip of the finished goods as they are has been offered for sale so far. This bulk

209833/0119

or piling begins to develop and build up about 2/3 from the beginning of the stocking tip - the latter in the finished State viewed - and extends to the top of the stocking tip part. The piling takes the form of wrinkles or ruffles that extend radially around the end of the stocking tip and may cause discomfort to the wearer.

It is therefore another object of the invention to provide an improved closed toe stocking design in the case of circular knitted hosiery of the shapes mentioned here, in order to avoid the aforementioned accumulation of goods in the vicinity of the To avoid the end of the stocking tip "

The first-mentioned object of the invention is for a stocking of the above-described improved shape with a Double edge achieved in that the double edge is first made in the usual way. With such a Y / are the reversed stocking pouch made of double fabric either before transferring the held stitches back is twisted on the needles or pulled together by the loop or loops of an additional thread, to close the hose at the end of the stocking with a circumferential, non-running bar or tab after the loops have been transferred back to the needles are.

Therefore, in comparison to stockings of the mentioned shape as they have been produced up to now, the one to achieve the According to the first mentioned aim of the invention, product made on the last row of stitches of the stocking tip instead of at the end of the double edge is thrown off and the finished knitted, non-running bar or flap runs around the toe of the stocking instead around the double edge, as before. The presence of such a bar or flap around the closed toe of the stocking around is therefore not as clearly recognizable as a bar or tab at the lower end of a folded double edge

209833/0119

and therefore more acceptable. For example, it can, as it only extends around the front of the puss instead of around the leg or thigh of a wearer, needs to be knitted more tightly so that it counteracts walking works and is less fat »

The second-mentioned object of the invention is achieved in that as an intermediate section, i.e. between the outermost and the inner section or the outer and inner layer of the folded stocking lace on and adjacent to the closing point a portion extending in the circumferential direction or a band is provided that is of reduced thickness, in which there is a reduced number of wales and a thread or threads of reduced thickness compared to that The number of stitches and the thread thickness in at least that Has the main part of the outer section or the outer layer

Therefore, in the production of the circular knitted according to the invention Hosiery a chosen number of needles, which are used for knitting at least the main part of the first manufactured Section or the first produced layer of the turned stocking lace goods are used, without effect set by a suitable movement of the same or by the fact that they are prevented from working in some other way before the knitting of the stocking lace continues, and at the same time either the thread is exchanged for a thinner thread or if two or more threads are knitted one or more threads are withdrawn.

For a better understanding of the invention, this is illustrated by means of a particular example in application to a women's stocking, where the double edge is made first and the one by turning the lace stocking is closed, in connection with described in more detail in the accompanying drawings, namely show:

209833/0119

In Pig. 1 the calf and ankle parts of the stocking are shown at 2 and 3. With 4 the Perse is designated and with the stocking sole. The outer section or the outer The position of the turned tubular lace goods is marked with an A denotes, the inner section or the inner'lage (hereinafter referred to as G) in Pig, of course. 1 is hidden from view. The part of the intermediate, proportionate thin section B of the turned lace fabric that appears on the outside of the stocking is to be formed and shown rotated to close the tip pocket, the actual rotation shown as a darkened circle is, from the circumference of which short tangential lines emanate. At 6 is a point band or a ring point schematically shown, which the picking up of stitches and the knitting of the outer section or the outer layer A. precedes.

Of course that's about that Half of the intermediate section B within the stocking and is therefore hidden from view. The whole ladder-proof Bar is arranged and covered in a similar way.

The appearance of a stocking closed by pulling loops of additional thread together as described is similar, but there may be a small hole in the middle of the bundle of the goods and the gaps are usually radial instead of tangential

To facilitate understanding of Figure 2, the knitting structure is of the foot and the contrasting sections of the turned lace material of the particular stocking schematically represented by typed symbols that mean:

Knit stitch = ο

Catch stitch = χ

Stitch take-up = MU

Mesh transfer = TR

wrong rib stitch = ©

As can be seen, the foot with its sole 5 consists of a knitted mesh with alternating rows of knitted stitches and intermediate rows of stitches in which knit stitches and catch stitches alternate in a suitable manner

The lace band 6 is of a non-running design with alternating rows made entirely of relatively tight knitted stitches knitted from a single thread with 1: 1 intervening catch-

rows of stitches, loosened by the effect of advanced Sinkers and made with another thread, with the even-numbered needles in some of the mentioned intermediate ones Rows of thread while the odd needles, catch thread in the remaining rows in between. Picking up 8 loops, represented by the letters MU, takes place immediately following the knitting of the lace ribbon 6, whereupon the outer section or the outer layer A, i.e. the first section of the turned stocking lace knitted with wrong rib stitches on a 1x1 needle selection will,,

The relatively thin section B in between is only knitted on every second needle in this example, the loops on the alternating other needles are merely blasted off, so that, as shown in Fig. 2, he by spaced apart wales 9 made of right stitches with extending in the wale direction Gaps 1o is formed without loops.

The inner section or the inner layer C, ie the last section of the turned lace stocking, is like section A also knitted with false rib stitches on a 1x1 needle choice Λ

Finally and after retransmission held loops On the needles at 7 the running flap 11 is knitted on the right manufactured·

In Fig. 3, the main lock of a circular hosiery knitting machine, on which the stocking described here is to be produced, is designated GB1, while the auxiliary lock is designated CB2. By using the designations "main"and; ^M auxiliary ^M the description should not be limited to a two-system machine, but rather the terms should also include a two-system sequence. This means that ;

the knitting process described below with a Ma-. machine can be carried out, which has a suitable number of digits Has number of feedings. However, in a three-pronged arrangement, all of the needles can be attached to one of the feeders can be provided for knitting or the same needle selection can be made on two successive feeds. However, in the example shown, at BC1 there is a forward stitch cast-off lock parts 12 ' Reverse stitch lock part 13 for use in reciprocating knitting, a forward spur part 14, a backward spur part 15 »an upper center cam part 16 and a counter-lock or guide part 17 is provided. In CB2, on the other hand, a cast-off interlocking part 18 is a Guide part 19, an expulsion part 2o and an upper middle part 21 are provided. The needles are schematically straight through Lines 22 are shown while their operating feet are at 22a are shown.

At the main feeder corresponding to CB1 there are at least an upper feeder HF1 and a lower feeder LF1 are provided, while at the CB2 corresponding auxiliary feed an upper feed HF2 and a lower feed in a similar manner LF2 are provided. From each of FIGS. 4 and 5 it can be seen that two separate threads pass through the two feeds are fed, namely a main thread Y1 indicated by a thick broken line and an auxiliary thread Y2, which is represented by a thin dashed line «On the main lock, the base thread Y1 is fed through the lower feed LF1 is fed while the auxiliary thread Y2 is fed through the upper feeder HF1. At the auxiliary lock jacket however, the main thread Y2 is fed through the lower feeder LF2 and the auxiliary thread Y1 through the upper feeder HP2.

As can also be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, H1 denotes the height of the needles in each of the two locks, which only pick up the basic thread. However, H2 shows the height of the needles

- 11 209833/0119

which take up both the base thread and the top threads. It should be mentioned here that all needles before the Select on each of the two locks that have been brought to the height at which the stitch from the hook below the tongue slides.

Any suitable means for selectively raising certain threads 22 to height H2 with each feed may be provided will. For example, the needles can be controlled for this purpose by pushers, not shown, which are below the same are arranged, the machine being equipped with a suitable ram selector to-which Lift the jacks sufficiently so that the corresponding needles are brought to height H2.

In the production of the stocking described above on such a machine, both the outer and the inner section A and C of the inverted lace fabric with a false rib or "Richlieu" weave are knitted as follows .

On the lock CB1 and on the lock CB2, all needles 22 take up the basic thread at the low level and knit, while every second needle raised to the high level H2 takes up both threads at this level and knits. There is therefore a 1: 1 selection of needles on each lock. The auxiliary yarn Y2, which is fed through HF1 the lock CB1, a fine yarn with high rotation may be, while the current supplied by LS ¹ I on the same lock thread advantageous Y1 a voluminous yarn or a yarn from the creping type, for example ICI Type 171, can be. On the other hand, at the castle. CB2 a fine yarn with high twist Y2 through LF2 at the low level and a bulky yarn or yarn of the crepe type Y1 through HF2 at the top level. As a result, at CB1, the needles located at the level H1 pick up the thread Y1, while the alternate needles select the upper level H2

- 12 -

209833/0119

raised needles pick up both threads Y1 and Y2. At the castle CB2, however, the needles at height H1 take over the thread Y2, while the needles alternately raised to height H2 Needles pick up threads Y1 and Y2.

The intermediate relatively thin section B is in this example on the main and auxiliary locks are knitted as follows.

At CB1 the lower feeder LF1 is withdrawn, whereby the thread Y1 is withdrawn so that no needle knits it, while only every other needle that selects on the Height H2 is raised, takes up and knits the thread Y2 which is fed through the upper feeder HF1. At the Lock CB2, on the other hand, takes up and knits the yarn Y2 from all needles, which is fed through the lower feed LF2 is, and the upper feeder HF2 is withdrawn, whereby the thread Y1 is withdrawn so that it does not Needle knits. It is important that tongue openers are used during this knitting process. It follows that at CB1 the knitting takes place only on the alternating, selectively raised needles, the needles at the height H1 blast off due to lack of thread. At CB2, those needles that hold loops or stitches do their knitting while the needles pick up the respective thread without loops, but pick it up when entering the next lock discard, as the cleared loops are knocked off.

It should be mentioned here, however, that instead of alternating needles only thread at the respective heights of the two lock shells take up the needles, which take up thread from the respective feeders on this Veise, at regular intervals may be provided at other suitable intervals, e.g. B. every third or every fourth needle, corresponding to one certain optional actuation of the needles.

209833/0119

Although the above-described method of top and bottom level feeding is preferred, it is If necessary, in the case of a two-system sequence, the relatively thin section or the band B can be produced by that knitted knit stitches with a fine thread on one lock and rows of 1: 1 floating or drop stitches also with a fine thread on the other lock.

Since the loops of alternate needles are simply blasted off at the end of section A, they tend to run back. However, this tendency is reduced to a minimum with the wrong Ripp or "Richlieu" structure, which can be tightly knitted as the goods only need to fit over the toes of a wearer. The combination of the Chunky yarn and fine yarn with a high twist also offer resistance to walking and make one if necessary Occurring running practically invisible when wearing.

After the preferred form of the product according to the invention and the preferred way of its manufacture have also been described, are possible variants below described hereof.

The outer section or the outer layer A of the turned lace stocking can be used on all needles in the machine or on just a selection of these.

The inner section or the inner layer C of the goods mentioned does not necessarily need to be of the wrong rib or "Richlieu" structure to be. It can have any other suitable structure, on all needles or only on a selected one Number of needles is made with any suitable thread incorporated. There is also none Necessity that the inner section or the layer C is stable. However, if it is taken into account that the inner

- 14- -

209833/0119

Section or the inner layer C is tubular and within of the tubular outer section A, the quality of the threads used must be carefully determined in order to to avoid wrinkling.

The relatively thin section B at the point of rotation can be held on another suitable reduced number of needles knitted on half the needles and the twists in the fine high-twist yarn that incorporates this section can follow each other in the same direction, e.g. B. S + S.

What the ladder-proof bar or tab 11 incorporated As for threads, these may be similar to but heavier than those in section B. S + S crepe or bulky threads have been found to be the most suitable.

As mentioned, in the case of a stocking, it is preferable that the top edge is knitted first. In this case the Stockings with a simple edge can be formed from non-ribbed material. Such an edge can expediently be a lower one Main section, which is either knitted in stocking stitch or knitted with the incorporation of catch or fantasy stitches and have a top portion or portion included in each course or in each of certain courses Has knitted stitches, which of catch stitches or skipped Meshes are interspersed, which give the upper part anti-roll properties and form an anti-roll tape. This Anti-roll tape can be used on a solid false rib structure and the tip of the tape can be a picot section exhibit, which is produced by accentuated or right-hand catching and the consequence of the accumulation of a number of loops on each of the spaced needles clearing the latter, the loops bsi a corresponding number of consecutive rows in knitting the picot tip to be pulled.

209833/0119

If necessary, if the stocking tip is closed by turning is to be knitted the stocking lace from a reversing yarn, in which the resulting Torque when turning back contributes to the rotation of the goods in order to effect the closing on the circular knitting machine.

Any suitable one can of course be used to close by turning Mechanism in a circular knitting machine can be provided to automatically the aforementioned relative rotation between dial and needle cylinder at the appropriate time during the manufacture of each circular knit hosiery bring about. Such mechanisms are known per se.

The actual extension of the intermediate section or band B of relatively thin material can vary, however about 16 courses have been found to be satisfactory.

Another advantage of using a relatively thin intermediate section made of collapsible Knitwear with a reduced number of wales, as mentioned, consists in the fact that their presence entails has that the turned stocking lace more easily adopts a shape that tapers downwards in a natural way the shape of the finally closed stocking lace pocket favors.

In the knitting direction on the intermediate relatively thin section B ai can be the outer tubular Section or layer A of the turned stocking lace, which connects either to the foot of the goods or to a non-running lace band that is between the foot and the Tip is arranged (according to another and optional feature of the invention) progressing in the mass decrease as the number of knitting needles

209833/0119

gert has been or / and depending on the thickness of the incorporated Threads in knitting has been reduced. For this determination it must be taken into account that the intermediate relatively thin section B according to the essential distinguishing feature of the invention, a reduced one Number of wales and a reduced thread volume compared to the number of wales at least in the main part of the outer section or position A.

This further and optional feature is based on the idea that immediately from the point at which the turned Stocking lace either at the foot or on the aforementioned non-running stocking lace band, up to the Turning point soft gradations in the fullness or thickness of the outer tubular section of the knitted rotating Stocking lace are present. This means that no Sudden change in the bulk of the goods between the finest section B of the lowest bulk and the neighboring Gradations of the outer section A is present.

A reduction in the fullness of the goods of the section or the layer A can, if desired, by making appropriate changes be achieved, d. H. by reducing the number of wales in the fabric. For example, a decrease in the number of wales done by knocking off, in which loops are completely free of the needles are given, whereby a ladder formation is prevented by the fact that the outer section or the outer layer with a suitable non-running structure is knitted. Such a non-running structure can, for example, have ab- j alternating legs made of dense knit stitches from one thread and rows in between with alternating ones Knit stitches and interlocking stitches loosely formed from another thread. If necessary, can a stable structure of the outer section or the

- 17 -

209833/0119

its position on a false rib knit, d. H. are based on a "Richlieu rib" knitting, with floating effects being present could be.

In another embodiment of this particular feature, however, the number of needles that can knit during the manufacture of the outer tubular section of the lace stocking can be reduced by some form of non-knitting. Such a method can be achieved (a) by selecting certain, e.g. B. alternate needles which pass through the one lock without taking up yarn and also without formation of loops, and (b) by the fact that Λ in the subsequent lock those needles which have not knitted, knitting. As can be seen, this is for a two-system sequence in a machine with a suitable even number of feeds. In a three-system sequence, however, all of the needles on one of the feeds can be made to knit, or the same selection of needles can be provided on two successive feeds.

The thickness (bulk) of the inner section or the inner layer C of the lace stocking (ie the section or the layer which is produced last) can be the same as that of the finest section B throughout. In such a case, from the turning point to the transfer point, at which point the section C is connected to the outer section A, the stocking lace is generally of the same structure and delicacy as the finest section B with the smallest possible thickness but no restriction, since from a point immediately adjacent to the turning point to the transfer part of the inner section or the inner layer C, if desired and according to the choice made, the thickness can be increased by one or more of the aids described above.

- 18 209833/0119

A reduction in the number of mass sticks in a suitable one Section of the hosiery can also be used as a result be brought about that certain needles are withdrawn from the knitting position. Conversely, there may be an increase in the number of wales can be brought about by bringing the corresponding needles back into operation.

As far as the reduction or increase in the thickness (diameter) of the threads is concerned, this can be brought about by a complete thread change, ie by using thinner threads instead of thicker threads and vice versa, depending on the requirements. However, in order to be able to produce the best and most reliable stocking lace goods, such a complete thread change should be avoided, if at all possible, and threads should be added to the structure or removed from it in order to change the thickness of the goods. For example, a fine thread to form the thinnest fabric section B at the turning point should ideally run through the entire stocking tip from the loop take-up through the transmission element. _; elements (double edge hooks) until such loops are transferred back to the needles.

If, as preferred, the fabric according to the invention with the double edge or ribbed edge is knitted first, then follows the inner tubular section of the stocking tip essentially an all-round, non-running flap or bar.

Therefore, in a further particular example of the invention (not shown), after knitting a non-running lace ribbon and picking up a row of loops through the transmission elements (double edge hooks), approximately 2/3 of the _: first, i. _n -. of the outer, tubular section of the stocking lace product is then knitted in a false rib or other type of non-runnable structure from at least three relatively fine threads (together equivalent to a comparatively heavy thread) on a full set of needles. To-

- 19 - I. 209833/0119> c

at least one of the threads is then withdrawn and the knitting begins of the first section is only immediate on alternating needles up to a circumferential (or row-wise running) line continued before the halfway mark of the stocking tip formation coinciding with the turning point. At this stage will another thread or more threads are withdrawn to reduce the thickness even further, leaving the knitting on alternating needles continues and either only a relatively fine thread or only a minimum number relatively fine threads are knitted. This last one The fine part can, for example, have an extension of 12 courses and end at the turning point around the first Complete tubular section of the stocking tip. From the turning point to the transfer back to the needles of the loops initially picked up and held continue knitting only on alternating needles either with a fine thread or with a minimum number of such threads, to make the second or inner tubular section of the stocking tip. When the stocking lace through When turning is to be closed, the dial is used immediately before the loops are transferred back to the needles rotated to turn the goods and a non-running flap or strip is knitted onto the second section in the usual way. If necessary, if the closure is to be made according to the "purse string" method, the additional thread placed around the held loops as described before the transfer back to the needles takes place, whereupon the tightening is made.

It should be mentioned here, however, that when knitting the second section, some or all of the needles can be used again can be brought. Instead or in addition, some of the threads can be fed back to the needles. It is in fact possible that at least part of the second section of the stocking tip is made of the same product as the first 2/3 of the first section.

According to a further improvement or modification, the closed end of the lace pocket can be the circular knitted Hosiery can be made even more closed by using different sections of the lace stocking with threads different shrinkage factors are knitted. For example nylon threads of types 6 and 66 can be used, in which case the outer section or the outer one Layer A can be knitted with type 66, while the relatively thin tape or section B and further, if necessary, the inner section or layer C can be knitted with type 6.

According to another method to reduce the bead in ■ the product consists in that, for example, on alternating ί Needles in one lock and also in the following lock are knitted on alternating needles, but this shark is knitted from the opposite selection. In this regard, it is common not to knit or to pass the needle butt under the lock the procedure used.

Also, in a stocking with a double edge knitted first, piling can be avoided by using a knitting technique i be reduced to a minimum, which takes place after- ' the hooks located at a distance from each other have been picked up by double j edge hooks. This technique consists in that when knitting the second, inner section or the second, inner layer of the turned stocking lace fabric selected or groups of those located at a distance from one another Needles that are allowed to continue knitting (after spaced-apart stitches have been picked up by the double-edged hooks), their stitches in certain dimensions; blast off, but knitting before transferring back the ι resume respective temporarily held loops on these needles j. Such needles can be used in a simple manner be made to blast off by pushing them forward to the clearing height and then in front of the knitting station (d *. h the lock) can be withdrawn again. The selected

- 21 -

209833/0119

Needles therefore cause a "scattering" of stitches with any desired pattern or other sequence when Knitting the inner portion of the reversed stocking lace, in order to reduce the accumulation of these to a minimum. On the other hand, these needles must be the same in this one in a special case to resume knitting before the stocking lace to close the stocking lace pocket is rotated, and therefore also before the loop retransmission on the needles in readiness for knitting the anti-slip strip or tab.

The bursting and "sprinkling" of meshes is carried out on the intermediate ^ limited section lying, z. B. to an extent of about 20 courses, but there is in this regard no limit. For example, out of a total of '400 needles in the machine, about 150 of them, i. H. less than half, knit when the greater number of needles selected before resuming knitting through this Needles have been blasted off, although in this case too the figures mentioned are only given as examples and no restriction should be derived from this.

The aforementioned lace band or the ring tip must essentially The choice of suitable threads for knitting them must be made very carefully. ™
