A method for producing tubular items, such as hosiery items and the like, which are closed at an axial end, using a single-cylinder circular knitting machine provided with a half-dial which faces, in an upward region, a first half of the needle cylinder and has hooks which can move in a radial direction with respect to the axis of the needle cylinder, each hook being arranged between two contiguous needles of the half of the needle cylinder that it faces. The half-dial can turn over about a diametrical axis of the needle cylinder so that its hooks face the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder. The hooks can move in a radial direction with respect to the axis of the needle cylinder in order to engage portions of loops of knitting formed by the needles of the first half of the needle cylinder before the half-dial turns over and in order to release the portions of loops of knitting to the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder after the half-dial has turned over. After the half-dial has turned over, the loops of knitting formed by the needles of the first half of the needle cylinder and belonging to a row of knitting that follows the one engaged by the hooks are arranged above the needles of the second half of the needle cylinder. The needles of the second half of the needle cylinder are raised to knit in order to pass through the loops of the subsequent row of knitting and knit new loops in, with the loops of the subsequent row of knitting in the subsequent knitting of the item.
