Abstract
A method of manufacturing a knitted article such as a beret. The method is for an article knitted by means of a knitting machine having two rectilinear needle beds, including a front bed and a back bed, at least one of the two beds being capable of racking, the beds also being provided with respective needles enabling stitches to be transferred from one bed to the other. The article being knitted is processed until there remain on the beds only two edges to be assembled together. Those two edges are assembled together by knitting a chain-stitch seam directed towards the inside of the article.
