Abstract
A new type of hand-operated knitting machine having a device for reading knitting programs is provided. Unlike the conventional reading device-equipped knitting machine, the reading device is not mounted on its carriage. Therefore, although the scanning operation of the reading device is associated with the start of the carriage movement, it is not disordered by irregular carriage handlings, thus realizing proper reproduction of the knitting pattern.
