SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

The manufacture of fabric structures from strands by forming loops and drawing the bights thereof through previously-formed loops.

(1) Note. The class includes articles and products involving any significant step of knitting and articles peculiarly adapted to be produced by significant knitting steps even when the production of such articles includes or involves subsequent operations, as sewing or cutting, to complete them.
(2) Note. Certain parts of knitting machines have been regarded as elements and have been placed after the "Machine" subclasses of this class. See Subclass References to this Class, below, for specific subclasses.

SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
