A tongue ( 67 ) is provided, at a front end thereof, with a drop-loop preventing step ( 79 ), and the hook ( 11 ) is provided, on an outer edge portion thereof extending from a sharp-pointed tip ( 27 ) of the hook to a top ( 29 ) of the hook, with a loop escape surface ( 31 ) to hide the drop-loop preventing step ( 79 ) when the hook ( 11 ) is closed by the tongue ( 67 ). In addition, the front end of the tongue is lowered so that a height between a bottom of the needle body and a top of the drop-loop preventing step ( 79 ) is lowered more when the slider is in a knock-over position than before the slider arrives at the knock-over position and also the top of the drop-loop preventing step ( 79 ) positioned at the knocked-over position can be positioned at a lower level than the top ( 29 ) of the hook. This can allow can allow a further smooth knock-over of the loop without negative effects on the yarn feed requirements for the capture of the yarn by the needle hook.
