Abstract (en)

A cast-on method of making the first row of knitting stitches with the use of a transverse knitting machine which has at least a pair of front and rear knitting needle beds, a carriage for left- and rightward movement along the needle beds, and a cam system containing two groups of cams disposed in the same phase for forming and transferring knitting stitches respectively. The steps of knitting plain stitches with knitting needles of either the front or rear needle bed, lifting up the knitting needles carrying the stitches formed at the preceding course to a stitch transfer position, transferring the stitches to corresponding knitting needles of the other needle bed, and simultaneously, feeding a thread of yarn on to the knitting needles at the transferred side, and knitting a given size of fabric with the same knitting needles. With this method the cast-on position of a rib or stocking stitch fabric is knitted tightly and particularly, a foundation row of stocking stitches is so closely knitted as not to be visibly distinguished from the following rows. A knitted fabric is formed by this cast-on method. <IMAGE>
