A panty hose type garment is formed by knitting an elongate tubular blank on a circular knitting machine and closing opposite ends of the tubular blank to provide toe closures at opposite ends. During the knitting of the blank, the stitch length of each course is graduated from a large stitch at one side of the blank to a small stitch at the opposite side of the blank so that said one side of the blank is longer than the opposite side and the blank is curved throughout its length. The medial portion of the blank is then slit in a walewise direction along the longer side to form a waist opening and an elastic waistband is attached thereto.
