The process provides for programming the knitting machine so as to define a textile item of tubular and consisting of a plurality of successive stitch rows (R), and to produce weft knitted fabric for manufacturing the textile item. The process provides for producing a "booton-type double welt'' (7) defining an initial end (2) and having the following features: it comprises an outer layer (9) of fabric developing from the first row of the textile item and positioned outside of the tubular portion; it comprises an inner layer (8) of fabric turned inside the textile item so as to result facing the inner side of the outer layer; it is closed, at the end of the production of the inner layer, by means of stitch rows made with a set of needles and such as to join the end of the outer layer with the inner layer so that the booton welt is shaped as a closed pocket. The process provides furthermore for producing a body (6) of the textile item as far as a final end (3).

Abstract

A circular knitting machine for knitwear, comprising a needle-holding cylinder (C), having longitudinal grooves (3) arranged around a central axis (X) and housing a plurality of needles (N), and a needle-holding ring (A), having radial grooves (4) housing a plurality of holding-down sinkers (P), and wherein each needles is paired with at least one respective adjacent sinker so as to form a needle-sinker assembly (1). The knitting machine comprises, for each needle-sinker assembly: a pre-selection element (5), paired with the respective needle and comprising a connecting portion (6) selectively cooperating with the adjacent sinker belonging to the same needle-sinker assembly; an activation element (7), paired with the pre-selection element and comprising an operating portion (8). The pre-selection element is vertically movable, as a result of an ascending motion of the respective needle, to a pre-selection configuration in which the connecting portion is engaged into a connecting seat (9) defined in the sinker belonging to the same needle-sinker assembly, thus causing a pre-selection of the sinker with the ascending motion of the corresponding needle. The activation element (7) is horizontally movable, towards the central axis, until acting upon the pre-selection element, so that the connecting portion (6) causes in its turn a movement of the sinker (P) in the radial groove (4) towards the central axis, thus performing an activation of the sinker.
