Abstract
A position to form a stitch loop hooking portion is biased toward a base portion of a transfer jack from a center of a gap between needle beds. Therefore, the effective width of a tip portion of the transfer jack with respect to a height of a hook portion of a knitting needle is increased when the knitting needle enters into the stitch loop from a direction of the base portion of the transfer jack.
