ABSTRACT:
A method for seaming two edges of a knitted tubular article to make the tubular article with a single-cylinder circular machine, starting from the elastic hem and finishing at the side of the toe which is left open. The method includes: (a) lifting a predetermined number of needles of a first semiring; (b) lifting further up the needles to remove the relevant stitches; (c) lifting at the same height a predetermined number of needles together with the stitches of the second semiring; (d) removing the stitches; (e) lowering the needles of the first semiring; (f) transferring the thus removed stitches, by overturning them, onto the relevant needles of the second semiring; (g) lifting the needles of the second semiring; (h) locating the pairs of overlapping stitches of each needle of the second semiring closely juxtaposed and coaxial to each other; (i) lifting further the needles of the second semiring; rotating with intermittent motion the needles cylinder and inserting step-by-step a linking needle within a pair of stitches thus lifted by providing it with the thread (F) used for the knitting of the article, without loss of continuity, and then removing it to make a linking stitch; (m) carrying out two or more knots after having executed the last linking stitch; (n) cutting the thread (F); (o) lowering the needles of the first semiring down to its cast off position.
