Abstract
A method for selecting the needles in the production of a held stitch and a dropped stitch on circular stocking knitting machines, knitting machines and the like with one or more feed stations and selection units which operate the needles by use of jacks. The method includes prearranging two consecutive selection units (15, 16) in the feed station or in each feed station and using, starting from a condition of preventive extraction of all jacks with the respective needles lowered, one selection unit to control the needles that must knit the held stitch and the other selection unit to control the needles that must knit the dropped stitch.
