Abstract
A circular knitting machine includes a cylinder spacedly provided with vertical slits on its overall circumference, and sinkers and knitting needles alternately mounted in every other slit of the cylinder. Each one of the sinkers is formed on its bottom side with a cutout so that a sinker selection jack moving up and down within the slit pushes the slant front edge of the cutout to move the sinker horizontally, or towards the center of the cylinder. With the structure, the movements of the sinker can be individually controlled to form a pile patterning and reversed patterning.
