Abstract
A method for knitting a garment having a tubular form, including knitting at least one conductive textile electrode on a machine having N participating feeders and M needles. The method includes the steps of continuously knitting the tubular form with one or more flexible non-conductive yarns, and knitting the electrode integrally within the tubular form, using a conductive yarn, in addition to the non-conductive yarns. The conductive yarn is knitted in a float-loop form by knitting a stitch and skipping over y needles, as follows: repeatably knitting a line segment L, using feeder Fand starting at needle D; and knitting line segment L, using the next feeder and start stitching the first float-loop at needle Dwhere 0<s<y. The tubular form has a preconfiguredknitting density, wherein the electrode has a knitting density that is higher than the preconfigured knitting density of the tubular form.
