A French-language article surveying the history of hand knitting from its obscure origins through the Middle Ages and into the 16th century. It reviews theories about early knitting (Norbury's Arab frame hypothesis), Coptic Egyptian socks of the 3rd-6th centuries, 12th-14th century finds from Russia and Poland, liturgical gloves, Spanish pillow covers and gloves from Las Huelgas, English knitters' guilds and masterpiece requirements, and silk stockings. Illustrated with four plates of museum pieces.
