Abstract
The method comprises using a set of contiguous needles of the needle cylinder; actuating the needle cylinder with an alternating rotary motion about its own axis, through a rotation angle making the knitting needles to pass in front of n feeds or drops of the machine which are used to form the pouch; gradually decreasing the needles made to knit at least one of the n feeds, excluding every time needles located at the lateral ends of the set in at least one step of the knitting process; and gradually increasing, at the lateral ends of the set, the needles that are made to knit at least one of the n feeds in at least one other step of the knitting process.
