Abstract
A left-left flat knitting machine is comprised of two needle beds and kning needle sets arranged in a common plane, with needle hooks provided on both ends of the needles and with bars to activate the knitting needles in the needle bed channels of both needle beds. The knitting needles are formed as double hook needles 1 with two needle humps 10, 11 and the bars are formed as push bars 2, 5 composed of respective stitch transfer bars 3, 6 and tongue bars 4, 7 with integral feet. The structure assures simpler construction of the knitting needles and the tools which activate them and also enables the use of any desired knitting steps for the pattern. According to a further development of the double hook needle 1, a short control tongue 60, 61 is hingedly connected at each needle hump 10, 11.
