ABSTRACT:
A widened loop is formed by using a flat knitting machine which has at least a pair of needle beds and one of the needle beds can be moved sideways. A widening needle is made to be empty, and yarn is fed from one end of the knitting range to a needle short of the widening needle. Next, yarn is not fed to the widening needle but to a needle next to the widening needle. The yarn feeder is reversed and yarn is fed to the widening needle. Then the yarn feeder is reversed again and yarn is fed to a needle next to the needle to which yarn has been fed. According to the method loops 21, 23 on both sides of the widened loop 11 are connected together by a cross-over yarn 25, and the widened loop 11 is held by a loop 13 of the previous course. Therefore it will not be pulled up. Because of these arrangements, an open gap will be hardly generated around the widened loop 11.
