Encyclopedia article on knitting (pletení) from the Czech Ottův slovník naučný. It covers hand knitting with needles (casting on, plain, purl, English and decreased stitches), the history of knitting, and machine knitting on hand and power frames (stávky): weft-knitted (kulírované) and warp-knitted (řetízkové) goods, needles, sinkers, and circular and flat machines such as those of Terrot, Lamb and Berthelot. A final section describes frame-worked cord plaiting or netting ("pletení v rámci", mistakenly called Egyptian knitting), with a bibliography. Illustrated with numbered line drawings of stitches, machine parts and frames.
