ABSTRACT:
In knitting a knit fabric, knitting needles in a range corresponding with a desired knitting width for the fabric are fed with a draw yarn to form a course of stitches from the draw yarn. The knitting needles may be taken from a pair of needle beds which are sometimes referred to as the front bed and the rear bed. All or part of the knitting needles used for knitting the draw yarn are next fed with a knitting yarn and a course of stitches form from the knitting yarn. Thereafter, knitting needles from the front and rear needle beds in the range corresponding with the desired knitting width are fed with the knitting yarn and the initial portion of the fabric is knitted. Subsequently, knitting needles from either the front or rear needle beds are fed with knitting yarn and thereafter knitting needles from another needle bed are fed with knitting yarn to knit plan tubular stitches until the fabric is completed. The draw yarn is drawn out of the fabric after completion of the knitting. Next, a yarn end remaining at the initial portion is pulled from the fabric and cut near a side end of the initial portion of the fabric will also be contracted by pulling the yarn end. The cut end is pulled back into the initial portion of the fabric by expanding the contracted portion to its original shape.
