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 varying stitch dimensions with one or two yarns in one or more sections. Custom stretch characteristics can be provided using one or two yarns providing a tight glove that provides flexibility and ease of movement. The varying 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/or 3) casting off or picking up additional stitches in a course. The glove includes four finger components, a thumb component, two palm components, and a wrist component. A padded cuff section can be added to the wrist component for comfort.
