In a flat V-bed knitting machine with independently operable needles there is provided a presser foot device comprising a presser foot carriage arranged for movement along the needle beds of the machine in synchronism with needle operation, and a support element extending down towards the gap between the walls of the needle beds and resiliently mounted in relation to the carriage for up-and-down movement. The presser foot device comprises (a) presser means fixedly mounted on the support element, the presser means having, in operation, leading and trailing ends and being capable of operating over a region extending from in front of the commencement of the rise of the needles for knitting to the area of needle cross-over, (b) a continuous stitch guide surface provided on the presser means in the neighborhood of each bed wall and arranged, in the operative position of the presser means, to extend downwardly and rearwardly, and then generally rearwardly, to push down and hold down stitches near said wall, and (c) a resilient presser foot also fixedly mounted on said support element to extend rearwardly from the presser means beneath the needle tent at a height, in the region of the trailing end of the presser means, above said stitch guide surfaces thereof.
