Abstract
A method of knitting a blank for making up into a sleeved garment includes the step of knitting fabric to form the sleeves and the front and rear body shoulder regions of the garment by forming knitted courses each of which extends the full length of each sleeve and across one of these body shoulder regions. Subsequent to, or prior to, this step, body fabric for the blank is knitted by forming simultaneously front and rear body portions of the blank by knitting courses which extend across these body portions in the finished garment, the body fabric being integral with the sleeve and body shoulder region fabric and having knitted wales which are continuous with knitted wales in the front and rear body shoulder regions. Different ways of performing the method on a knitting machine with opposed beds are described, with knitting commencing either at the upper edge line of each sleeve and the upper shoulder line of the body of the blank or at an underarm line in the blank.
