Abstract
As the knitting needle reciprocates between two stationary, upstanding fingers, a notch on the needle loads a loop of yarn onto the fingers and the nose of the needle passes down inside the loop during the down-portion of one stroke and moves up outside the loop to unload it from the fingers during the beginning of the up-portion of the next stroke.
