Abstract

A knitted cover and a method of forming a two-dimensional knitting pattern for the cover. The pattern is taken from two-dimensional development of the cover and has pairs of edges-to-be-joined in the conversion from two-dimensional development to three-dimensional cover. These edges are broken down into courses or rows of progressively changing lengths, and the courses or rows are rearranged to form new edges in which a particular course or row is not necessarily adjacent its original neighbour before rearrangement.
