A one-page French encyclopedia entry on 'tricot' (knitting) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It defines the word and explains hand knitting with two needles for flat pieces and four or five for seamless items such as stockings and gloves, covering casting on and forming stitches. An illustrated plate shows successive needle positions, cast-on and basic stitches (knit, purl, twisted, yarn-over, speckled). It notes that hand knitting persists in northern countries and rural areas while industry uses straight or circular knitting machines, and refers readers to the entry on bonneterie.
