ABSTRACT:
A knitting machine includes latchless needles, and selector elements located in positions corresponding therewith. Each selector element comprises a hook-like extension directed towards the needle point and arranged to penetrate into a longitudinal slot in the needle. The selector elements are subjected to sliding movements approximately perpendicular to the needles, together with lifting and lowering movements so that they penetrate into the needle slot, and are lifted in order to take-up the stitch engaged by the needle and to remove it therefrom. Alternatively the selector element can abandon the stitch by lowering its hook-like extension below the plane of formation of the fabric.
