Abstract
A manual knitting frame having a pair of support blocks at opposite ends of two or more spaced longitudinally elongated members. Pegs projecting from each of the members. Rods connecting the blocks and passing through the members, one of which is threaded such that the spacing between the members can be adjusted. According to another form, the adjustment of the members is accomplished by screws attaching the members to a support at each end thereof.

A manual knitting frame, comprising;
- (a) two pairs of longitudinal extending elongated substantially rectangular members in spaced parallel relation to one another,
- (b) each of said members having planar upper surfaces containing a plurality openings therein,
- (c) a plurality of knitting pegs removably inserted in a predetermined member of said openings depending upon the type and shape of fabric to be knitted,
- (d) each of said members having planar side faces perpendicular to said upper surfaces,
- (e) a pair of through openings in each of said side faces at opposite ends of said members,
- (f) a pair of transverse rods passing through said through openings at each end of said members with the innermost rod of each pair having exterior threads,
- (g) rectangular openings in each of said upper surfaces at opposite ends of each of said members,
- (h) circular adjusting knobs in each of said rectangular openings having a central internally threaded opening in mating engagement with respective ones of said innermost externally threaded transverse rods,
- (i) a pair of substantially rectangular support blocks at opposite ends of said members each having planar side faces, and
- (j) said transverse rods being supported by said side faces at a location thereon so oriented to support said members with enough clearance from a work surface such that knitted fabric passes easily therethrough without bunching up.
