Abstract
A weft-knitting apparatus is provided with an axially nondisplaceable but rotatable loop-forming element having an upper end cut off at an oblique angle and formed with a spur. Each loop-forming element is periodically rotated 360.degree. so as to pick up a filament with its spur to pull it through a loop previously formed, thereby forming another loop that can thereafter slip up over another loop so formed by the spur. The support carrying a plurality of such rotatable elements may be exchanged for another such support having elements differently spaced in order to use the same knitting machine for different gauges or cuts.
