Abstract
A method of knitting a body panel for a garment, for example a jacket, in which the panel is provided with a non-run set-up along at least one edge to serve as an edging for the panel. The method involves knitting an edge portion for the panel comprising a non-run set-up, knitting on from the edge portion on some only of the needles holding loops of the edge portion while maintaining inactive further needles holding loops of the edge portion, and introducing these inactive needles holding loops of the edge portion into knitting action subsequently during the knitting process, thereby shaping the panel. The edge portion may consist exclusively of the non-run set-up or it may have a non-run set-up followed by a further strip of fabric. This further strip of fabric may be distinguished from the fabric of the main part of the body panel by color and/or stitch structure. Methods of joining together two or more of such body panels on a knitting machine are described.
