as three courses for convenience but are necessarily an odd number of multiple repeat courses for example nineteen in all to give the desired height of loop 47 courses 55 and 57 are connecting courses between the fabric areas 5a and 6a and the loop 47 in a single system weft knitting operation knitting proceeds from right to left along course 51 from left to right along course 52 and so on in course 55 knitting from right to left at needle positions r to o and r 39 to o 39 the same construction is knitted as was knitted at the same needle positions in course 51 knitting then continues only on the rear bed at needle positions n to e followed by an odd number of multiple repeat courses 56 over needle positions e to n and n to e on the rear bed only to form the single jersey fabric of the loop 47 connecting course 57 is then knitted right to left on the rear bed only at needle positions n to e and then on both beds for the remainder of the course jacquard double jersey knitting is resumed in courses 58 59 and 60 the fabric 5a and 6a fig4 is joined on both sides of the loop 47 as continuing double jersey knitting.
