Question

In the circular weft knitting, the knitting cycle of latch needle is:
A. loop formation and pulling
B. yarn feeding
C. latch opening
D. needle reaches to the clearing height
E. casting off Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. C, D, B, E, A
• B. C, D, B, A, E
• C. C, D, E, B, A
• D. A, B, C, D, E

Hint:

"Clearing" always happens before "Feeding," and "Casting off" is the final act of letting go of the old loop to make room for the new one.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The knitting cycle describes the mechanical path of the needle required to form a new stitch.

Step 1: Preparation for the New Yarn.
As the needle rises, the old loop slides down, causing C (Latch opening). The needle continues to rise until the old loop is completely off the latch and onto the stem, which is D (Needle reaches to the clearing height).

Step 2: Formation.
The new yarn is then placed into the hook via B (Yarn feeding). As the needle descends, the hook catches the new yarn, resulting in A (Loop formation and pulling).

Step 3: Completion.
Finally, the old loop slides up the closed latch and is thrown off the needle entirely, a process called E (Casting off).
