ABSTRACT:
An improved knitting assembly for producing patterned knitted fabric includes a needle assembly having a handle portion and a plurality of needle tips associated with the handle portion and arranged in a spaced, selectively determined order. At least one of the needle tips has predetermined and distinct operational and nonoperational positions, whereby the order of the needles may be effectively reconfigured by selectively positioning the needle tips in desired operational or nonoperational positions. The assembly further preferably includes a plurality of detachably connected independent handle portions, and the order of needle tips may be changed by detaching the handle portions, rearranging the handle portions, and reattaching the handle portions in the new order.
The knitting assembly also preferably includes a hook assembly for creating purl stitches. The hook assembly includes at least one handle portion and a plurality of hook tips, wherein the order of the hook tips may be rearranged in the same manner as the needle tips of the needle assembly. Stitches and patterns are created with this assembly that were previously difficult or impossible to create with manual knitting apparatus.
