Abstract
The invention relates to a knitting aid for use when knitting with more than one yarn. The finger cuff comprises a primary yarn strand guide, a secondary yarn strand guide, a transfer mechanism configured to at least shift the position of the secondary yarn strand guide in the finger cuff longitudinal direction between a first secondary yarn strand guide position and a second secondary yarn strand guide position.

A finger cuff for handling yarn strands when knitting with multiple yarns simultaneously, the finger cuff comprising:
- a primary yarn strand guide configured to guide a primary yarn strand from a first side of a finger cuff to second opposing side of the finger cuff;
- a secondary yarn strand guide configured to guide a secondary yarn strand from the first side of a finger cuff to the second opposing side of the finger cuff;
- and
- a transfer mechanism configured to at least shift the position of the secondary yarn strand guide in the finger cuff longitudinal direction between a first secondary yarn strand guide position and a second secondary yarn strand guide position, where the first secondary yarn strand guide position and the second secondary yarn strand guide position are located on opposite sides, in the finger cuff longitudinal direction, of the primary yarn strand guide.
A finger cuff for handling yarn strands when knitting with multiple yarns simultaneously, the finger cuff comprising:
- a primary yarn strand guide;
- a secondary yarn strand guide;
- and
- a transfer mechanism configured to at least shift the position of the secondary yarn strand guide in the finger cuff longitudinal direction between a first secondary yarn strand guide position and a second secondary yarn strand guide position, where the first secondary yarn strand guide position and the second secondary yarn strand guide position are located on opposite sides, in the finger cuff longitudinal direction, of the primary yarn strand guide, wherein the transfer mechanism comprises:
- a rail aligned at least in part along the longitudinal direction of the finger cuff;
- and
- a movable rail body, movable on the rail between a first rail body position and a second rail body position, where the secondary yarn strand guide is provided on or in the moveable rail body, and where the secondary yarn strand guide is positioned in the first secondary yarn strand guide position when the rail body is located in the first rail body position, and where the secondary yarn strand guide is positioned in the second secondary yarn strand guide position when the rail body is located in second rail body position.
A finger cuff for handling yarn strands when knitting with multiple yarns simultaneously, the finger cuff comprising:
- a primary yarn strand guide;
- a secondary yarn strand guide;
- a transfer mechanism configured to at least shift the position of the secondary yarn strand guide in the finger cuff longitudinal direction between a first secondary yarn strand guide position and a second secondary yarn strand guide position, where the first secondary yarn strand guide position and the second secondary yarn strand guide position are located on opposite sides, in the finger cuff longitudinal direction, of the primary yarn strand guide;
- a tertiary yarn strand guide, and
- a second transfer mechanism configured to shift the tertiary yarn strand guide in the finger cuff longitudinal direction between a first tertiary yarn strand guide position and a second tertiary yarn strand guide position, where the first tertiary yarn strand guide position and the second tertiary yarn strand guide position are located on opposite sides of the primary yarn strand guide, and where the first tertiary yarn strand guide position and the second tertiary yarn strand guide position are located on opposite sides of first secondary yarn strand guide position or the second secondary yarn strand guide position.
