Method for producing a net with elongated stitches

A method for producing a net with an elongated stitch made of a weft, the net formed by at least two warps knitted to at least two rows of loops and by at least one weft joining the at least two warps by at least one stitch, the method comprising:

• continuously generating new loops for elongating the at least two rows of loops by additional loops and dragging the at least two rows of loops in a machine direction;
• and
• generating a first stitch of the at least one weft by joining the at least one weft to a loop of the first row and to a loop of the second row by joinings, including positioning the first stitch across a surface of an elongating device for preventing the first stitch from travelling with the warps knitted to loops in the machine direction,
• wherein the joinings are configured for elongating the first stitch by pulling additional weft material and the surface of the elongating device carries out a reciprocating movement,
• wherein on the surface of the elongating device a projection is provided for preventing the first stitch from moving off the surface, and by dragging the net, the first stitch is moved towards the projection,
• wherein during the reciprocating movement, the inclination of the surface is modified, and at a specific inclination of the surface, the first stitch is released off the surface over the projection.
