ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing hollow knitted articles, particularly berets and other headgear, which method consists in first knitting a piece having an equal number of loops on its two ends using at least some of the needles in one bed of the knitting machine and then joining the two ends together. A first row of loops forming the one end of the piece are transferred to a support located underneath the needle bed while the remainder of the piece is knitted so the knitting is folded with its finished side on the inside. The loops on the other end are then transferred to a common support with the corresponding loops from the one end and the two ends are joined together by sewing.
The method and apparatus enable the operation to be carried out entirely automatically.
