An improved yarn feeder for circular knitting machines includes a jutting section located on a yarn feeding section of the yarn feeder. The jutting section has a yarn directing surface to allow the yarn sliding over without forming floss, or allow the floss retaining on the jutting section. Thereby the yarn may be fed smoothly and effectively above the knitting needle without rupturing to allow the knitting needle to raise and pick up the yarn to proceed knitting operation. (FIG.nil
