Abstract (en)

OBJECT: To prevent dropped stitches when knitting a quilt knitting fabric MEANS: A dropped stitch preventive tool (thread keeper) (5) used in a double knit circular knitting machine for quilt knitting, having a first guide surface (53) for preventing a knitting yarn from deflecting in the radial direction of the circular knitting machine and coming off the guide surface, and a second guide surface (54) for preventing the knitting yarn from deflecting in the vertical direction and coming off the guide surface. The first guide surface (53) is located between a yarn carrier (4) and a cylinder needle (1) for capturing a yarn fed from the yarn carrier (4), so that the yarn fed from the feeder maintains the substantially same feed angle. The lower side of the second guide surface (54) extends substantially parallel to a needle dial (D) and prevents the yarn from being routed to the back of the cylinder needle (1).
