Abstract:
The process of creating loops on a cloth by knitting, including the following steps:to realize longitudinal columns of intermediary loops on one side of the support, and columns of stitches on the other side of the support, by driving a string brought by small strainers on the one side of said support, with needles, onto lancets which are on the same side of support;to retain the intermediary loops on the support by driving the string on the other side of the support, after the creation of at least the first of the intermediary loops on one of the lancets;to move transversally, in one direction and by a pre-determined distance the lancet holding the first intermediary loop, with a view to create a second intermediary loop; andafter the creation of the second intermediary loop on the lancet, to again move the lancet holding both the first and second intermediary loops transversally, by the same distance but in the opposite direction, so as to create a third intermediary loop on this lancet, the cycle of transversal movement of the lancet in one direction then the other being repeated every two intermediary loops, wherein it includes a further step consisting of pulling the intermediary stitches away from the support to create the loops, the intermediary loops being therefore pressed against the support to create the retaining sections.
