2. Principal Stitches
in
Weft Knitting

3. Weft knitted stitches described so far has been
composed entirely of knitted loops. A knitted
loop stitch is produced when a needle receives a
new loop and knocks over the old loop that it
held from the previous knitting cycle. The old
loop then becomes a needle loop of normal
configuration.

stitches

5.  When the needle is raised by camming action to obtain yarn
in the hook, but is not raised high enough to clear the
previously formed loop below the latch, the needle will have
two loops in the hook and a tuck stitch will be formed when
it knits at next course.

8. A float stitch or welt stitch is composed of a held
loop, one or more float loops and knitted loops. It is
produced when a needle (M) holding its old loop fails
to receive the new yarn that passes, as a float loop,
to the back of the needle and to the reverse side of
the resultant stitch, joining together the two nearest
needle loops knitted from it.
