Abstract:
A knitting needle having at least one needle tip and a shank on which the knitting can be at least regionally arranged. A gripping region is arranged on the shank which can be gripped by a user during knitting. The knitting needle narrows along its length from the shank in the direction of the needle tip and is designed in a rounded manner and a droplet-shaped thickening, namely a retrieval droplet, is attached thereto, the latter having a smaller diameter than the shank. The transition between the shank and the narrowed portion and between the narrowed portion and the retrieval droplet is formed without edges and with little frictional resistance. Also included is a method for producing such a knitting needle. In said method, the knitting needle is designed as a circular knitting needle, wherein, during the production the cord is overmoulded with the material of the shank.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 12 , characterized in that the cord ( 41 ) is retained during the injection process by one or more retaining cores ( 60 ).
