Abstract

A method of determining the shape of a knitting pattern for continuous knitting of a three-dimensional weft knitted object having a two-dimensional development in which at least one pair of edges to be knitted together have a large angle therebetween in excess of x.degree. where x.degree. is the maximum knittable angle between edges for the particular application of the cover. The method produces a cover having distinct sutures including a first suture formed from knitting together two edges with two sutures extending from one end of the first suture to intersect another suture extending from the other end of the first suture at a point.
