The flat bed machine is widely used in the sweater industry. The interactions between yarn and knitting elements that create the fabric occur at the apex of the V and the fabric moves away downward between the two beds, drawn down by the take-down system. During knitting in v-bed knitting machine, the edges of the knock-over bits restrain the sinker loops as they pass between the needles and thus assist in the knocking over of the old loops and in the formation of the new loops.
