Each of the needle selecting devices (20) is provided with a drive circuit (25) for driving a pattern finger and a shift register (26). Knitting data a is sequentially supplied from a controller (30) to the shift register (26) in one of the needle selecting devices and then serially from this shift register to the remaining needle selecting devices (20). At the time the transfer of the knitting data completes, the knitting data is latched and retained in each of the shift registers (26) and the drive circuit (25) is activated based on the retained knitting data. <IMAGE>
