There is disclosed a method of manufacturing patterned knitted fabrics on a double cylinder knitting machine, in which the pattern jacks associated with needles in the lower needle cylinder having already picked up a yarn at any of the feeds but one thereof are brought into a position in which they can no longer be selected to bring the associated needles to knit in the same knitting course. Same occurs for the jacks associated with the needles knitting in the upper needle cylinder. All these jacks are then brought into a position capable of being raised on the jack raising cam associated with the remaining feed, but only those jacks are raised which are associated with needles knitting in the upper needle cylinder. The machine has a number of jack selecting devices which is by one unit smaller than the number of yarn feeds, and cams for causing the jacks to move as above described.
