A needle, for use in a flat or circular knitting machine having one or two needle beds, comprises a body portion (1) which is made of a single piece of metal and comprises a rear portion (2) and two side walls (3, 4) defining an internal cavity (5) to receive a slide plate (18). The side walls also provide the frontal closure of the cavity, for example by bending together the free edges (6, 7) of the side walls or by means of a re-entrant deformation which leaves the side walls parallel. <IMAGE> |
