Abstract
A knitting method employing a hooked needle having a hook at one end and a knitting extension of a flexible string material fixedly coupled to the other end. The extension has a predetermined length and thickness. In the method, chain stitches are first made with the needle and transferred to the extension. The front end of the needle is then inserted into each chain stitch of the row of chain stitches, while threading over and drawing the thread of the chain stitches or another material through the chain stitch, to form a succession of crochet stitches on the need. These stitches are transferred to the extension. The latter steps are then repeated.
Claims2
A method of knitting comprising:
- a.) incorporating a yarn, using a hooked needle, into a chain of stitches with a given number of chain stitches;
- b.) a knitting extension, of flexible string having a length and a thickness predetermined according to the size and shape of an article to be knitted or the yarn to be used, into a through hole in an end opposite a hooked end of the hooked needle;
- c.) interlooping a length of yarn into each of the chain stitches, of the chain of stitches, to form a succession of loops on the hooked needle and subsequently transferring the formed loops to the knitting extension;
- and
- d.) inserting the hooked end of the hooked needle through one of the formed loop, at an end of the knitting extension opposite the hooked needle, and interlooping the yarn to form a new loop on the hooked needle, forming a succession of new loops by interlooping the yarn with the successively formed loops, and subsequently transferring the new formed loops to the knitting extension;
- and
- e.) repeating step (d) to adesired length.
