formation of yarn floats, and at least one cutting device located within the needle ring forcutting through yarn floats of a given minimum length such that yarn ends on the fabricside and the yarn guide side are formed and the yarn ends on the yarn guide side remainin a position in the catchment area of the selected knitting needles that intersects withthe needle ring. The cutting device has two cutting elements (23,24), one of which is aknife (24) preferably rotating with the needle carrier (1) and the other of which is ashearing blade (23) attached to it, and at least one catch element (53) preferably rotatingwith the knife (24) for positioning the yarn floats relative to the cutting elements (23, 24)(FIG. 3).
