A circular knitting machine has sinkers arranged for radially reciprocating around an upper portion of a cylinder, and latch needles arranged around the upper portion's perimeter for reciprocating along the axis of the cylinder. Selected ones of the needles draw down a lay-in yarn while the sinkers between the selected needles remain in a pushed forward position, so that the lay-in yarn overrides the nibs of the sinkers. In a preferred embodiment, each forth needle, and only each fourth needle, is selected to draw down a lay-in yarn, and four sinkers are positioned between each adjacent pair of the selected needles so that the lay-in yarn overrides four nibs between each draw down. The selected and non-selected needles engage jersey yarns at other knitting stations. This circular knitting machine can be adapted from existing knitting machines.
