A latch needle ( 1 ) having on its latch ( 7 ) a latch head ( 9 ) that is provided with a recess or a depression ( 12 ) for receiving a section of a tip ( 14 ) of the hook ( 4 ), said tip having the configuration of a truncated cone. The latch head ( 9 ) is wider than the latch shaft ( 8 ) of the latch ( 7 ), however, distinctly narrower than the needle shaft ( 20 ). Due to this measure, too great an expansion of the loops during the casting-off process is avoided, and the risk of a collision of the latch head with other components, for example, sinkers, is reduced.
