A loop transfer device including a carriage supported by transverse sliding movement on first and second needle beds on each of which are disposed a multiplicity of latch needles is disclosed. A first path is formed on the carriage for guiding the butts of the loop transferring latch needles on the first needle bed therein and moving such latch needles in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first needle bed. A second path is formed on the carriage for guiding the butts of the loop receiving latch needles on the second needle bed therein and moving such latch needles in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second needle bed. Needle detent means is provided on the carriage for regulating the position of the forward portions of the latch needles in the second path and those of the latch needles in the first path relative to the longitudinal directions of the first and second needle beds when the hooks of the latch needles in the second path are engaged with the loops of yarn carried by the latch needles in the first path, whereby the hooks of loop receiving latch needles may be engaged accurately with the loops of yarn carried by the loop transfer latch needles so as to effect reliable loop transfer from the loop transfer latch needles to the loop receiving latch needles.
