Abstract

A method for the circular knitting of a knit including at least one dense zone, in which the dense zone(s) of the knit is or are achieved via knitting an alternation, in each row of stitches, of a first and second row of jersey stitches. The first row of jersey stitches is knitted on a first selection of needles, and includes knitting at least one tuck stitch within the row of jersey stitches, so as to form binding points with the sinker loops of the second row of stitches. The second row of jersey stitches is knitted with a second selection of needles and includes knitting with a reinforcing yarn in addition to the stitch-forming yarn. These dense zones can be used to increase the opaqueness of the knit at certain specific locations and thus create shapes for aesthetic purposes, or to reinforce the knit to make it more wear-resistant.
