METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR KNITTING OF FABRIC IN FIXED SHAPE AND STITCHING INTARSIA PATTERN IN FIXED SHAPE

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for knitting sections of predetermined contour and/or of a design of the Intarsia type of predetermined shape in which a yarn guide member is moved along a bank of needles in a knitting machine between a pair of carrier splicing blocks which are movably mounted in the machine. The positions of these blocks are selectively variable, and a releasable latch arrangement connects the yarn guide to a splicing block during movement thereof in order to automatically vary the starting position of the next stitched row.
