ABSTRACT:
A method for forming loops on a circular knitting machine having a plurality of needles and sinkers alternately arranged in cooperation with each other. The sinkers are supported on a rotatable ring located exterior of said cylinder, and have a yarn engaging edge extending perpendicular to the needles and a heel at its opposite end. The steps comprising feeding a yarn to the needles, while sequentially moving the needles downwardly within the cylinder to draw the yarn. Simultaneously engaging the sinkers at their heel ends and advancing each of the sinkers toward an associated pair of needles along a straight line direction at an acute angle to the needles synchronously as the needles move downwardly. Thereby the yarn engaging edge is moved vertically upwardly while the edge is maintained perpendicular to said needles. The edge thus engages the yarn and cooperates with the associate needles to form loops from the yarn simultaneously on the associated needles and sinker.
