Abstract

In a flat knitting machine with adjustable sinkers (33), these sinkers are in each case arranged between a needle (43) and a fixed loop-forming web (31) of a needle bed (42) and designed in such a way that they can cooperate with the loop-forming webs (31) forming a draw edge when newly-formed loops are knocked over.
