PURPOSE: To minimize the rotation of a winding hook of a net stitching machine in the production of a fishing-net having a knot resistant to slippage of knot, by hooking a warp and a weft with a rotary winding hook of a net stitching machine and knitting a net under a specific condition.

CONSTITUTION: A winding hook 1 is rotated 250° and then 160° in the direction reverse to the first rotation while lifting a weft 6 with a weft-lifting plate 8 and the weft is hooked with the winding hook while lowering the lifting plate 8. The winding hook is rotated 360° in the same direction while lifting a warp 5 with a yarn-traverse 9 and then rotated 160° in the same direction. The warp is lowered with the traverse and hooked with the winding hook. The winding hook is rotated 160° in the direction of the first rotation and rotated 270° in the same direction in a state holding the warp hooked with the winding hook, the warp is pulled out through the loop formed by the warp and the weft and the weft is passed through the loop.
