Still another object of the present invention is to provide an annular ear-covering band that is shaped on at least one segment of its extension which is intended to cover the forehead.
Another object of the present invention is to propose a method of knitting for manufacturing a tubular knit and shaped ear-covering band directly on circular stocking knitting machines without remnants.
Said objects are accomplished with an ear-covering band formed by a manufactured article having a straight tubular knit and with at least one shaped intermediate part and in which the edges of the opposite ends of said element are brought together and joined by means of sewing in order to form an annular knit article.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
