Abstract
A method for knitting without retaining double or more stitches on a needle when a loop transferring is performed in the fabric knitting including a stitch narrowing knitting and the like. The method includes the steps that a stitch loop is rested on the tongue of the compound needle on the first bed; that the stitch loop retained by the knitting member on the second bed is guided to a position where it can be transferred to the compound needle on the first bed; that the hook of the needle proper is advanced into the stitch loop retained on the knitting member on the second bed positioned at the transferring position; that the knitting member on the second bed is retracted to allow the stitch loop retained thereon to be retained by the compound needle on the first bed; and that the compound needle on the first bed is retracted to knock over the stitch loop rested on the tongue of the slider of the compound needle on the first bed, whereby the stitch loop is retained on the stitch loop transferred to the compound needle on the first bed.
