Abstract
A knitted glove made by creating each of the at least fifteen sections using a separate knitting course on a flat knitting machine providing variable stitch dimensions with one or two yarns. Each of these sections provides custom stretch characteristics using one or two yarns providing a tight glove that provides flexibility and ease of movement. The variable stitch dimension is achieved by 1) varying the depth of penetration of the knitting needle into fabric being knitted by a computer program, 2) adjusting the tension of yarn between a pinch roll and knitting head by a mechanism controlled by a computer and 3) casting off or picking up additional stitches in a course. The glove includes five finger components made from at least ten separately knitted sections, two palm components each made from at least two separately knitted sections, and a wrist component made from at least one knitted section.
