Overlap Characteristics
Shog usually across one needle hook.
Every needle receives an overlapped loop from
at least one guide at every knitting cycle.
Two side limbs of the loop are produced.
Rare to shog across two needle hooks due to
high yarn tensions and poor fabric appearance.
Tricot lapping or 1 x 1
The laps are executed in alternate overlap and under lap
motions on two defined needles.
This stitch creates a textile fabric as the underlaps connect both
the courses and the wales.
The simplest of this group of structures is made between two
adjacent needles.
Tricot lapping or 1 x 1 is the simplest of these movements,
producing overlaps in alternate wales at alternate courses with
only one yarn crossing between adjacent wales

Atlas Lap
The atlas construction differs in that the laps
are continued over two or more courses in one
direction and then return in the other direction
to the point where they started.
