Circular Knitting




Circular knitting or '''knitting in the round''' is a form of also do circular knitting; double bed machines can be set up to knit on the front bed in one direction then the back bed on the return, creating a knitted tube.http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/4100766.html Specialized knitting machines for sock-knitting use individual latch-hook needles to make each stitch in a round frame.http://www.oldtymestockings.com/SockMachineMuseum.html

Many types of sweaters are traditionally knit in the round. Planned openings (arm holes, necks, cardigan fronts) are temporarily knitted with extra stitches, reinforced if necessary. Then the extra stitches are cut to create the opening, and are stitched with a sewing machine to prevent unraveling.http://www.kidsknits.com/steeks_introduction.html
