Abstract

The inventive knitting tools, in particular knitting needles (6), have a body (7) which, for alignment, has on its narrow side projections (15, 16) which have precisely machined abutment surfaces (18, 19) on their end faces. The abutment surfaces (18, 19), can be produced, for example, during a suitable stage of the manufacturing process. One of the projections (15, 16) or an additional projection (17) can be provided with abutment surfaces (20, 21) which are used for longitudinal positioning of the knitting tool. Corresponding grooves (25, 26, 27) in the needle bar (1) are assigned to the projections (15, 16, 17).
