CLAIMS:
1. A method for obtaining a knitted surface without the need to use a
knitting apparatus,
using a thread with a plurality of rings provided thereon and having a
distance between
adjacent rings, said method comprising:
- aligning a first row of the thread adjacent to a second row of the thread,
- looping the rings of the second row of the thread through the rings of
the first row of the
thread, thereby interweaving the rings of the second row with the rings of the
first row,
- repeating said aligning and said looping until a desired sized of a
textile item having the
knitted surface is obtained, and
- after the desired size is reached, sealing off the threads,
wherein the rings provided on the thread are sized and spaced to produce a pre-
determined
loop size in the textile item to be formed.
2. The method of Claim 1, wherein the knitting apparatus is a crochet
hook, knitting
needles, or a knitting tool.

DESCRIPTION
A THREAD WITH RINGS AND KNITTING METHOD USING THE
THREAD WITH RINGS
Technical Field
The invention is related to a thread with rings that can be used to obtain
large surfaced
knitted items without using knitting apparatus such as crochet hooks, knitting
needs
etc., and a method with which knitted items are obtained using said thread
with rings.
Prior Art
Nowadays, knitting apparatus such as crochet hooks or knitting needles are
used when
knitting is carried out with threads (yarns). As the usage of said knitting
apparatus needs
to be learned, any person who wants to knit cannot knit by using normal
threads.
Besides this even if the person knows how to knit, it is not possible for a
person to knit
large items in a short period of time.
A knitting needle which has multiple corners which makes knitting easier is
described
in the invention subject to the utility model numbered TR 2005/02097 of the
prior art.
The knitting needle that is described herein does not have a rounded surface
but it has
multiple corners and as it has multiple corners, it overcomes the problem of
excessive
contact of the yarn with the knitting needle, caused by the rounded surface
knitting
needles. The invention can be provided to have multiple corners; it can be
hexagonal or
heptagonal. Developments are carried relating to knitting apparatus in order
to make
sure that the knitting process is easier.
However when these developments are carried out on threads the dependence on
knitting tools will be eliminated and everyone will be able to knit.

Brief Description of the Invention
The aim of this invention is to provide threads with rings that can be used to
obtain large
surfaced knitted items without using knitting apparatus such as crochet hooks,
knitting needs
etc., and to provide a method with which knitted items are obtained using said
thread with
rings.
In one aspect, there is provided a method for obtaining a knitted surface
without the need to
use a knitting apparatus, using a thread with a plurality of rings provided
thereon and having a
distance between adjacent rings, said method comprising: aligning a first row
of the thread
adjacent to a second row of the thread, looping the rings of the second row of
the thread
through the rings of the first row of the thread, thereby interweaving the
rings of the second
row with the rings of the first row, repeating said aligning and said looping
until a desired
sized of a textile item having the knitted surface is obtained, and after the
desired size is
reached, sealing off the threads, wherein the the rings provided on the thread
are sized and
spaced to produce a pre-determined loop size in the textile item to be formed.
In another aspect, there is provided a knitted surface directly obtained by
the method as
described herein, wherein the knitted surface is formed from the interweaving
of the plurality
of rings on the thread.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The thread having rings and the knitting method where said thread with rings
is used in order
to reach the aim of the invention has been shown in the attached figures and
said figures
illustrate the following;
Figure-I. Shows the thread with rings subject to the invention.
Figure-2. Shows the schematic steps of the method with which knitting is
carried out by
using the thread with rings subject to the invention.
The parts in the figures have each been numbered and the references of said
numbers have
been given below.
1. Thread
2. Ring
100. Method
The thread (1) subject to the invention which is used to obtain a large
surfaced knitted item
without using knitting apparatus such as crochet hooks, knitting needles etc,
comprises a
plurality of rings (2) that have a distance and size suitable to the loop size
of the knitted item.
The thread (1) subject to the invention enables any person who does not know
how to knit to,
to be able to knit an item by means of the rings (2) designed on the thread.

Moreover it is easy to obtain large surfaced knitted items by means of the
rings (2).
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the thread (1) can be
produced by a
fancy yarn machine, together with the rings (2) formed thereon. The rings (2)
formed on the
thread (1) have a certain height (x), a certain distance (y) between them and
a bottom width
(z). Said height (x), and distances (y, z) and the thickness of the thread (1)
are designed to be
in compliance with the loop size of the item to be knitted and such that they
are fixed all
throughout the thread (1) (Figure 2 - A).
The method (100) for knitting where the thread (1) is used in order to obtain
the desired
surfaces comprises the following steps;
-ensuring that the thread (1) is aligned as two rows (Figure 2 - B),
-the rings (2) of the thread (1) that is at the rear is looped through the
rings of the thread (1) at
the front (Figure 2 - C),
-the above mentioned two steps are repeated until the desired sized knitted
item is obtained
(Figure 2 - D),
-after the desired size is reached the sealing off of the threads are
performed (Figure 2 - F).
The knitting process is completed by means of the method (100) subject to the
invention and
the desired size is reached (Figure 2-F).
