ABSTRACT:
A method for knitting a garment on a double-cylinder circular knitting machine, comprising the steps of withdrawing the stitch sinkers firstly with only the yarn taken up by the lower cylinder needles, subsequently lowering the upper cylinder needles to pick up the yarn while causing the stitch sinkers to outwardly project and to pick up the yarn taken by the upper cylinder needles, and raising the lower cylinder needles only after the sinkers have been withdrawn. There is also disclosed a double-cylinder circular knitting machine in which the cams for controlling the sinkers have a notch in a position substantially vertically below the lowering cam which controls lowering of the upper cylinder needles to take up the yarn, the notch being arranged before the raising cam controlling raising of the lower cylinder needles for taking up the yarn. Upstream of the lowering cam there is also provided in the upper cam box a pair of cams for maintaining the upper cylinder needles at a level corresponding to that at which the previously formed loop is discharged.
