Abstract: This invention relates to an improved manual knitting device that is comprised of an elongated frame member that has an elongated slot throughout its central region. Parallel rows of pins are disposed along opposite sides of the slot. The rows are slightly offset from each other in the direction of elongation of the slot. The pins are flexible and are tapered to facilitate the knitting operation. The pins are integrally molded in a replaceable insert member that may be removed from the frame member of the device and replaced by another insert member that has pins that are spaced differently, of different diameters, or perhaps of different elastic characteristics.
