Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0838544A2] A method for making hosiery items, or tubular knitted items in general, which have a closed toe by using a single-cylinder circular machine. The method comprises at least one first step, in which the needle cylinder (1) is actuated with an alternating rotary motion about its own axis (1a) to form a pocket (2) with heel- or toe-type knitting, using a set of needles (3a) located in one half of the needle cylinder (1), and a second step, in which the needle cylinder (1) is actuated with a continuous motion in order to form a tubular portion of the item. Before the beginning of the second step, at least one of the initial rows of knitting (4) formed in the first step, which is arranged inside the needle cylinder (1) at the end of the first step along a chord which runs between the two end needles (3'a) of the set of needles (3a) used in the first step, is engaged, starting from one of the two end needles (3'a), and gradually moved above the needles (3b) located in the other half of the needle cylinder (1) and knitted in by them with the first row of knitting (4) formed at the beginning of the second step. <IMAGE>
