Abstract: This invention introduces a groundbreaking beanie design featuring a new stitch configuration, departing from conventional norms. Employing innovative stitch lining techniques, the crown of the beanie is artistically redefined, blending comfort with sophistication. The distinctive design involves two parallel vertical stitches interconnected by a solitary horizontal stitch, evoking the form of the letter “H” or the Greek letter Theta. The stitch lines exhibit fluidity, adapting seamlessly to fabric stretch when worn. This versatile stitch pattern is adaptable to both cuffless and cuffed beanies, signifying a versatile solution for diverse preferences. The invention revolutionizes beanie creation while accentuating the convergence of textile artistry and wearable functionality.

Upon determination that a direction in which a next stitch is to be formed belongs to a predetermined hitch-stitch forming area, detouring movement of a frame, holding the sewing workpiece, is carried out. This detouring movement includes moving the frame in such a direction in which the upper thread moves out of the opening section and then further moving the frame to a target position corresponding to the next stitch such that the upper thread abuts against the restricting section.

Abstract: A rotary hook includes a bobbin case housing a lower thread bobbin, an inner rotary hook and an outer rotary hook. A needle drop hole is provided in an upper front surface of the inner rotary hook, and a recess is formed therein at a position deviated from the needle drop hole in a rotating direction of the outer rotary hook. The recess opens forward and upward and has a rear wall. The bobbin case provides with a thread take-up member for directing a lower thread, paid out from the lower thread bobbin, toward the recess. The lower thread paid out from the lower thread bobbin is passed through the recess via the thread take-up member and then directed to a needle hole of a needle plate provided above. With this arrangement, it is possible to structurally avoid occurrence of a hitch stitch caused by the lower thread.

Abstract: A tufting machine for selectively forming tufts of yarns, including different color or type yarns, for forming patterned tufted articles such as carpets. A series of needles are reciprocated into and out of a backing material being fed through the tufting machine and are engaged by a series of gauge parts so as to pick-up loops of yarns from the needles. The gauge parts will be selectively controlled by activators to extend or retract the gauge parts to positions or elevations sufficient to pick-up or not pick-up loops of yarns from the needles. The feeding of the yarns to the needles further will be controlled to back-rob yarns not picked-up by the gauge parts, while the backing feed will be controlled to enable formation of tufts at an increased rate over the pattern stitch rate for the pattern of the tufted article being formed.
