Abstract
The circular knitting machine for socks, stockings or the like, in particular for producing knitting with towelling stitches, comprises, at the set of knitting-forming cams which actuate the motion of the needles during the engagement of the thread or threads at one feed of the machine, an additional cam. The additional cam is arranged above the central cam and defines a descending portion which is engageable with the heel of the needles, excluded from knitting at that feed and raised with respect to the needles which knit at that feed. The controlled lowering of the needles which do not knit at the feed facilitates the positioning of the thread or threads fed at the feed and the correct forming of the loops by the needles which knit at that feed.
