Abstract

A method for knitting gloves and a glove so knitted by a flat knitting machine which includes forming stitches of several circumferential courses of the knitted material which make up the wrist edge aperture domain. The method uses a knitting process in which the wrist-edge aperture domain of the glove can be turned into a pouched tubular shape in which at least one course on the top edge of the pouched tubular domain is knitted by means of a thermofusing yarn and then thermally fused.
