Abstract
For the production of plush knitted goods containing stitches made from main and plush threads, main threads and plush threads are fed to hooks and sinkers, at least the plush threads are pre-formed to plush thread loops by drawing back the knitting tools from a plush thread receiving position into an intermediate position and by, in so doing, drawing and holding taut the plush threads over associated ones of the sinkers, then stitches are formed with the main threads and plush thread loops by drawing back the knitting tools farther into a knocking-over position and by, in doing so, controlling the sinkers in such a way that the pre-formed plush thread loops are held in taut during the stitch formation and that the risk of shortening or undoing of pre-formed plush thread loops during such stitch formation is greatly diminished.
