Stitch cams presettable in a plurality of different positions according to a desired knitting pattern are provided, and an adjustably positioned ramp in the needle bed fixed to a slide is adapted to displace a cooperating stitch cam into a selected position. Means are provided on the carriage for clamping the stitch cam in the position to which it has been displaced by the ramp and a slide to which the ramp is attached is raisable by control cam means preceding knitting cams in the carriage.
