Abstract:
A method of producing a knit by creating loops, said method comprising:(a) knitting a first portion of the knit by creating loops,(b) knitting a second portion of the knit by creating widening or narrowing loops at a first plurality of deformation regions, the deformation regions of said first plurality being distributed over the second portion of the knit with a substantially uniform density, and(c) knitting a third portion of the knit by creating widening or narrowing loops at a second plurality of deformation regions, the deformation regions of said second plurality being distributed over the third portion of the knit with a substantially uniform density,wherein the density of deformation regions in the third portion of the knit is different from the density of deformation regions in the second portion of the knit and wherein each deformation region has a width no greater than ten loops.
