ABSTRACT:
Seamless one-piece panty hose, integrally knit on a circular knitting machine, has tubular leg and foot portions made by unidirectional rotary knitting, upwardly and outwardly tapering extensions fashioned by reciprocatory knitting at the upper ends of the leg portions and a tubular body portion made by unidirectional rotary knitting in the form of an endless band extending between and connecting the extensions and the upper ends of the leg portions at their inner sides. The lower portion of the tubular body portion forms the crotch area of the garment while its upper portion is slit walewise to form the waist opening. The tubular body portion together with the extensions essentially form the panty part of the garment. Preferably the crotch area is knit with a stitch length differential to constrict and minimize stretchability of the fabric in a walewise direction on this area to achieve better fit.
