摘要

A method for manufacturing a dressing item such as an undershirt, body suit or the like with a circular knitting machine, and an item obtained thereby, said method comprising: at least one first step, during which an annular border is formed which constitutes the neck of the item; at least one second step, during which a first tubular portion of knitting is formed starting from the annular border; at least one third step, during which a second tubular portion of knitting is formed to continue the first tubular portion of knitting; and a fourth step, during which a completion portion of the item is formed. The annular border is formed by means of at least one prestretched elastic yarn and/or by using a limited number of needles with respect to the number used to form the first tubular portion of knitting and/or the second tubular portion of knitting, so as to obtain an item with a neck having a smaller diameter than the remaining part of the item and without seams in the shoulder region.
