Abstract
A hand-operated knitting machine of the type having a single, flat needle bed includes an improved carriage mounted on the bed for bi-directional movement. The carriage performs the needle selection, loop transfer, and knitting functions through a cam arrangement symmetrically located relative to the transverse center line of the carriage. The cam arrangement includes the plurality of fixed and movable cams that define front and rear loop transfer butt-paths that operatively engage the transferring and the receiving needles of a given set of paired needles to cause them to cooperate with a loop transfer device to effect loop transfer from one to the other of the needles to knit a lace-form fabric.
