A flat knitting machine incorporating movable yarn guide members has a pair of needle beds (2) disposed in front and rear alignment and a plurality of needle plates (3) provided for each needle bed (2) at equal intervals. The pair of needle beds (2) are disposed in front and rear alignment so that said tip portions of the needle plates (3) are close to each other. A plurality of knitting needles (4) are aligned in parallel between the needle plates (3). The knitting needles (4) are compound needles in which sliders are projecting and retracting via a carriage (7). There are provided a plurality of movable sinkers (7) each of which is swingably held at a position close to tip end of each needle plate (3) and is provided with an elastically energizing member for generating energizing force by which a knitting yarn held in knitting-yarn pressing portion formed at tip portion of each movable sinker is energized in the direction of pressing knitting yarn. Each yarn guide member is provided between a needle plate and a knitting needle, with each yarn guide member is slidably disposed so that guide surface formed at the tip thereof can project and retract itself from the tip of each needle bed. An operating member is provided at rear-end portion of each yarn guide member and projecting and retracting by a control means secured to a carriage. <IMAGE>
