A flatbed knitting machine includes a variable stitch device (25) that has a simple structure for cost reduction and has a compact size for reduction of a mount space on a carriage. The variable stitch device (25) includes a first groove (37) and a second groove (38) juxtaposed in a cam plate (21) and extending parallel to an inclined face of a bridge cam (23), a control cam (44) performs control to move a first cam (31) having a first stitch-size determining cam face (35) engageable with a second butt (14) of full height along the first groove (37), to move a second cam (32) having a second stitch-size determining cam face (34) engageable with the second butt (14) of half height along the second groove (38), and to switch the first stitch-size determining cam face (35) and the second stitch-size determining cam face (34) between an even state and a stepped state, and a stepping motor (48) that drives the control cam (44).
