ABSTRACT:
Forming a mock cable pattern in a knitted fabric includes preforming tuck stitches in the fabric, subsequently transferring and placing the tuck stitches on respective preselected needles in an array within which the mock cable pattern is being formed, and knitting the tuck stitches into the fabric. For a mock double cable pattern, two tuck stitches are preformed in the material by outer ones of the needles in the array, so as to subsequently be essentially below these needles. When a fabric row in which the pattern is to begin is reached, knitting then is interrupted, and single eyelet tools are inserted diagonally through openings in the tuck stitches in an upward direction left-to-right and right-to-left, respectively. The tuck stitches then are transferred inwardly and diagonally upward, and placed upon respective ones of the preselected needles, which are rearward for identification purposes, and which then are pulled forward into "hold" knitting positions. Knitting is then resumed, with the tuck stitches being knitted into the fabric to produce a mock cable pattern portion. The process is repeated until the desired length of the mock cable pattern has been formed. A mock single cable pattern is formed in a similar manner using only one tuck stitch and one transfer operation.
