Abstract
A presser foot for a knitting machine with independently operable needles has a cross-section which is triangular or approximately triangular. The presser foot may comprise two elements of strip-like form, for example of metallic sheet material, extending side-by-side in the longitudinal direction of the presser foot. These two elements are arranged so that longitudinally extending edges thereof which are intended to press on knitted loops and to be the lower longitudinally extending edges of the elements, in use, are more widely separated than the longitudinally extending edges of the elements located above them and intended to be the higher longitudinally extending edges, in use.
