Abstract
When bringing pins () are engaged with the yarn carrier at the engagement portions () near the center of the yarn carrier, the yarn carrier, as a normal carrier, feeds the yarn so that the yarn is applied to a knitting needle performing knitting operation by a carriage. When the bringing pins () are engaged with the yarn carrier at the engagement points () near the rear side thereof in the travel direction, the yarn carrier, as an inlay carrier, feeds the yarn in preference to the knitting operation so that the yarn is not applied to the knitting needle performing the knitting operation by the carriage. When the projection portions () of engagement releasing members () are pressed by the contact thereof with the stopper, the engagement releasing members () are moved backward, and slope portions () push up the bringing pins () engaged with the yarn carrier at the engagement points () so as to release the engagement.
