<p>A method of knitting a blank for a garment comprises, in the following order, or in the reverse order, the steps of: knitting two front panels (7,8) for the garment body with courses extending lengthwise of each front body panel and wales extending in the direction (A) across each front body panel, in the finished garment, knitting two sleeve panels (23, 24) for the garment with courses extending lengthwise of each sleeve panel and wales extending in the direction (B) across the sleeve panels, and knitting a single rear panel (39) for the garment body with courses extending across the rear panel and wales extending in the lengthwise direction (C) of the rear panel. During the knitting, joins (12, 27 and 13,28) are formed between the front panels (7,8) and the associated sleeve panels 23, 24) by a process involving the procedures of taking needles out of action whilst holding knitted loops on those needles, and then reintroducing the inactive needles to knitting action, at least one of said procedures being carried out progressively so that the joins (12, 27 and 13, 28) are suture joins. Also during the knitting, joins (33, 34) are formed between the rear panel (39) and the sleeve panels (23, 24) by forming knitted wales which extend from the sleeve panels (23,24) into the rear panel (39).</p> |
