Abstract
A garment includes: a first garment-region, that is formed of a knitted material, and that is knitted in accordance with a first knitting pattern, wherein the first garment region has a first value of horizontal stretching capacity; and a second garment-region, that is formed of the same knitted material, and that is knitted in accordance with a second, different, knitting pattern; wherein the second garment region has a second value of unidirectional stretching capacity that is smaller than the first value of unidirectional stretching capacity of the first garment-region. The second garment-region is immediately adjacent to and is bordering with the first garment-region, and together they are a continuous and seamless garment zone.
