Disclosed is a sinker for a circular knitting machine being characterized by two symmetrical L-shaped recesses formed at two lateral sides of an upper half of a front top portion of the sinker, including a nose and a nose slot formed above the portion. The L-shaped recesses are so formed that, when the sinker is moved into a corresponding channel on the needle cylinder in front of the sinker, the recesses are located slightly above the channel. When the sinker reciprocates back and forth to together with the up and down latch needle form and knit piles, dust so produced settles on the L-shaped recesses and is removed therefrom without falling into and cumulating in the channel of the needle cylinder due to the movements of the sinker at high speed. The cleaning of needle cylinder and sinkers can be minimized and the quality of knitted fabrics can be enhanced with the arrangement of such L-shaped recesses on two sides of the sinker.
