Abstract of WO2008009971

A method for knitting gloves is disclosed, in which successive courses are knitted parallel to the main glove axis (along the line of the middle finger). The first row of stitches is formed along the line of either the smallest finger or the thumb, and the process is continued to successively form all five digits, integral with the core section. The fingers and thumb are knitted as parallel tubular elements, but the glove as a whole can be shaped to match different hand contours.
