Abstract
The tubular knit product with a pocket and a method for forming the pocket using reciprocating motion in tubular knit hosiery manufacturing. The method uses a circular knitting machine fed by a plurality of yarn feeds which all participate in the formation of the pocket by a reciprocating motion. During the reciprocating motion, part rows of stitches from yarns of the various feeds are formed in a sequence on a course. For the next preceding opposite course, the part rows of stitches from the yarns of the various feeds are formed in a sequence which is opposite. For each subsequent course, the sequence is opposite to the preceding course, and the course direction is opposite (reversed). On each successive reversed course, the yarns of the various feeds form rows which progressively decrease in a first part of the construction of the pocket and progressively increase in a second part of the construction of the pocket. The points of reversal of the rows formed by the various yarns on one side of the pocket appear in a sequence opposite to that in which they appear on an opposite side of the pocket.
