Abstract
A compound needle has blades of a slider having tongues formed by two superposed blades accommodated in a blade accommodating groove formed in a needle body. The blades are provided with bends to bring side surfaces of the blades accommodated in the blade groove in the needle body into press-contact with side walls of the groove. Front end portions of the blades can thus be held in positions that are equally divided to the right and left with respect to the widthwise direction of the blade groove from a widthwise center of the groove to more reliably center the blades in the blade groove.
