Abstract
The method for manufacturing tubular knitted articles (M) comprises the steps of: a) knitting a tubular knitted article (M) with the needle cylinder (); b) transferring loops (MA) of a last-formed course of loops from the needles () of the needle cylinder () onto the pick-up members (A,B) of a transfer unit (), divided into two circular half-rings (A,B,A,B) which can be overturned over each other; c) overturning one of the circular half-rings (A,B,A,B) of pick-up members (B) onto the other so as to arrange two edge portions of the final edge of the tubular knitted article (M) one onto the other; d) joining the two edge portions to one another by means of joining stitches (A, B, C, D) formed in intermediate spaces between adjacent pick-up members (A), whereon the knitted tubular article (M) is retained; e) unloading the knitted tubular article (M) with the closed toe from the transfer unit ().
