ABSTRACT:
A method of knitting a blank for a sleeved jacket or cardigan having overlapping front body panels, on a knitting machine with opposed needle beds containing independently operable needles. The method includes the steps of knitting a set of sleeve fabrics for the blank on the two opposed needle beds and knitting a set of body fabrics for the blank on the two opposed needle beds, the body fabrics comprising two front body panels and a rear body panel. The method also includes the step, in knitting one of the sets of fabrics, of taking needles out of action progressively on both needle beds in an inwards direction from both ends of the bank of operative needles of the knitting machine, and holding loops on the needles taken out of action, and the step, in knitting the other of the sets of fabrics, of bringing the needles made inactive progressively back into knitting action in outwards directions towards the ends of the bank of operative needles of the machine thereby causing wales of the sleeve fabrics to be inclined to wales of the body fabrics in the blank, and also the steps, in knitting the body fabrics, of knitting one front body panel before the other, casting this one body panel at least partly off the needles before knitting the other body panel and knitting this other body panel partly on needles already used to knit said one body panel to form a garment blank with overlapping front panels.
