Straight spokes knit individual parts of one product and subsequently sew them. When knitting these tools, the method of turning rows is used. There are circular spokes, consisting of two metal elements connected to each other by a fishing line. They can be knitted both in a circle and in turn. All spokes have a number corresponding to their diameter.

For example, when knitting a large fabric with a complex pattern, it's hard to keep track of how many rows are already tied. Therefore, there is a counter that helps you track a separate rapport and the total number of rows. The device in the form of a cylinder has two windows with a scrolling drum showing a series of numbers. At the end of each knotted row, the wheel turns and indicates the corresponding number.
