Abstract
Each of a plurality of sinker elements on a needle bed having a plurality of knitting needles of a hand-operated knitting machine has a vertically extending, endwise open slot formed at its forward end. For casting on, an end segment of a knitting yarn is successively passed through the respective slots of the sinker elements to twist the end segment with another segment of the yarn forming a first row. Needle loops in the first row are drawn from between the twisted yarn segments, thereby providing a knit article with a closed edge which will not be loosened by a pull at the edge of the article.
