Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017042084A1] The invention relates to an improved knitting needle (10) having at least one needle tip (11) and a shank (12) on which the knitting can be at least regionally arranged. Also provided is a gripping region (13) which is arranged on the shank (12) in the vicinity of the needle tip (11) and which has a round cross section, wherein the gripping region (13) can be gripped by a user during knitting. The knitting needle (10) itself narrows along its length (15) from the shank (12) in the direction of the needle tip (11). The invention proposes that the needle tip (11) itself be designed in a rounded manner and that a droplet-shaped thickening, namely a retrieval droplet (20), be attached thereto, the latter having a smaller diameter than the shank (12). The transition between the shank (12) and the narrowed portion (14) and between the narrowed portion (14) and the retrieval droplet (20) is formed without edges and with little frictional resistance. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a knitting needle (10). In said method, the knitting needle (10) is designed as a circular knitting needle (40), wherein, during the production of the circular knitting needle (40), the cord (41) is overmoulded with the material of the shank (12).
