ABSTRACT:
A method of manipulating a garment on a knitting machine includes the steps of orienting the garment with an opening disposed relative to one end on the knitting machine; and knitting a bridge across the opening of the garment. The bridge is affixed to the garment at a first and second site. The first and second sites are disposed near the opening. The exact positioning of the first and second sites relative to the opening are predetermined in accordance with the orientation of the garment on the knitting machine. The first site opposes the second site. The method of manipulating the garment further includes the step of dividing the bridge forming a first and a second handle. The first and second handle are fixed at the first site and the second handle is affixed at the second site. The first and second handles are useful for further processing the garment.
