FIELD: manufacture of knitted fabric. SUBSTANCE: method involves knitting fabric from two thread systems for two looping cycles on each needle set; starting first looping cycle simultaneously on all needles till incomplete closing state and laying threads of one system on each needle set; dividing needles into groups in accordance with number of thread guides, in particular, into two groups; laying threads on first group of needles performing first looping cycle behind backs of opposite needles for press throwing on each group of needles by incomplete closing method. Second group of needles performs first looping cycle by disengagement method and second looping cycle from threads of central parallel thread guides to provide prepressing operation. Needles of first group of needles perform second looping cycle from threads of central thread guides to provide prepressing operation. Upon termination of looping cycles on needles of two groups of needles, at least one looping cycle is performed for connecting fabric web by outer needles. EFFECT: increased efficiency and wider operational capabilities of knitting machine. 2 dwg
