Patent abstract

A sinker set comprising a coulier sinker (11) and a plush sinker (12). The sinkers (11, 12) can be moved together in a direction transverse to a knitting needle (2). The sinkers have spaced apart edges for the accommodation of stitches. In order to adjust the distance between these edges, the sinkers (11, 12) can be moved relative toward each other in the driving-out direction of the needle. To do so, they have spaced apart guiding edges (17, 18; 27, 29, 30) that are in contact with various support surfaces or guiding surfaces (20, 22; 26, 32, 33).
