ABSTRACT:
A knitting machine arrangement and a method of knitting on the same are described which utilize a pair of stacked pattern wheels at each knitting station of a circular knitting machine. By alternating high and low butt knitting needle groups in successive slots of one portion of the cylinder, a singular pattern or design can be knitted by inserting appropriate jacks in the upper and lower pattern wheels which engage the associated needle groups. When the order of the high butt and low butt needles is reversed on another portion of the cylinder, alternate slots and, therefore, jacks of the pattern wheels are engaged and these may produce a different pattern or design. By dividing patterns between the upper and lower pattern wheels at each station, desired effects, such as spotting, design or pattern enlargement may be achieved by selectively placing needle groups about the periphery of the cylinder.
