ABSTRACT:
A control system which allows a plurality of shapes to be knitted by a simple change of profile cam (80). The profile cam (80) controls in a desired variable manner the feed rate of elastic or ground yarns to control the shape of a garment. The shape can also be controlled by further profile cams (200, 202, 204) to control both elastic and ground yarns and in a dial and cylinder circular knitting machine to alter the dial height while the machine is in motion, thereby further controlling the width of a garment.
