Notes to the description of knitting rubber sweater top-down:

The loop is set and closed with a hollow knitting. For a set of loops the crossing of threads, as it is accepted at Italians is used. And closing of loops is executed by means of a needle, again in the Italian way.

For convenient landing of a sweater in the area of a neck of a backrest the shortened numbers which raise a sprout above a neck of a shelf are executed, and as to knit shortened numbers in an elastic band that the crossed loop nicely entered in a general cloth, there is a recommendation in Description.

Shortened rows of rubber needles

The female sweater is knitted by spokes with the sleeve of a reglan and lateral seams, shaped lines of formation of which carry an aesthetic function, breaking clear scars of a gum and emphasizing a female figure.
