A latch needle comprises a hook, a stem and a latch. The latch is pivotally mounted to the stem for rotation between two positions in the first of which the latch is located within the hook and in the second of which the latch is located external of the hook. The latch spoon is notched at its tip to permit the latch to pass either side of the point of the hook. Control of the latch is provided by an integral lug which engages in the recess of the slider-positioned along side the needle. Alternatively, the latch is provided with two lugs which are controlled by respective central-faces of an auxiliary sinker.
