PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A TEXTILE ITEM BY MEANS OF A CIRCULAR WEFT KNITTING MACHINE, AND TEXTILE ITEM REALIZED BY MEANS OF THIS PROCESS

A process for manufacturing a textile item by means of a circular weft knitting machine, of seamless type and provided at least with a feed, a needle-bearing organ supporting a plurality of needles, a plurality of knockover sinkers. The process provides the programming of the knitting machine so as to define a textile item consisting of a plurality of successive stitch rows (R) of knitted fabric in succession, and to produce weft knitted fabric for manufacturing the textile item, according to the programming step. In the programming step is set at least a designed motif, defined on at least two successive stitch rows, i.e. following one another, in which: in at least one of the two successive rows a portion of terrycloth knitted fabric (S) is present; in at one of the two successive rows a portion of floated knitted fabric (F) is present.
