Abstract (en)

An object is to provide a flatbed knitting machine capable of forming a not-too-long sinker loop in half gauge knitting, and preventing knitting yarn from being captured by a hook of an unused knitting needle.A flatbed knitting machine 1 includes basic sinkers 5 and concave sinkers 6 arranged alternately. A stitch 7 in half gauge knitting includes a needle loop 7a formed by pull-in of a hook 3a and right and left sinker loops 7b adjacent to the needle loop 7a. The left-side sinker loop 7b is formed by the concave sinker 6 followed by the basic sinker 5. The right-side sinker loop 7b is formed directly by the basic sinker 5. In the stitch 7 formed in the half gauge knitting in the conventional manner by a flatbed knitting machine 9 corresponding to all needle knitting, each of the sinker loops 7b is formed by the two basic sinkers 5 in each of the both sides of the knitting needle 3. The flatbed knitting machine 1 is capable of forming the sinker loop 7b which is not longer than the one by the flatbed knitting machine 9. Each of the concave sinkers 6 serves as a wall which closes the hook 3a of the unused knitting needle 3 so as to prevent the knitting yarn from being captured.
