ABSTRACT:
A knitted garment wherein a walewise extending free edge consists of a folded over edge portion automatically produced during knitting of the garment. Such folded over edge portions may finish the leg openings of briefs, or the waist opening of one-piece tights. The invention includes a preliminary seamless tubular blank which, when slit and opened out, provides a final blank for making-up into briefs. The preliminary blank has a visible cutting line extending from end to end and at opposite sides of which are provided two automatically produced folded over edge portions -- initially side-by-side. The folded over edge portions are folded by contraction of floats of yarn which extend coursewise over a number of knitted loops in spaced courses of the fabric margin.
