A necessary number of knitting needles (2, 2a) are slid at a predetermined timing along a multiplicity of parallel sliding grooves (1a) of a single needle bed (1), and a predetermined number of knitting yarn guides (8) take lapping movements to form desired stitches of the knitting yarns while a monofilament bending means (3) between one end of the needle bed (1) and the yarn guides (8) is operated at a predetermined timing for reciprocating along a predetermined number of knitting needles (2, 2a) at an underlapping position. During this reciprocating movement, a head-portion-holding member (4) is moved between a holding position for holding a head portion (5a) of each fastener element from an inside thereof and a non-holding position, in synchronism with the bending of a monofilament (5). As a result, individual fastener elements are continuously formed by bending the monofilament (5), which is at the same time knitted in a warp-knit fastener tape (T) simultaneously with the knitting of the tape (T), so that it is possible to efficiently manufacture a woven slide fastener stringer stable in shape. <IMAGE> |
