Abstract

A knitted sleeved garment is made from a blank comprising sleeves and body joined together on the knitting machine by sleeve and body shoulder portions knitted integral with one another and formed with wales of different lengths by taking successive needles out of action during knitting of the shoulder portions and reintroducing those needles in opposite sequence to cause the sleeves to lie at an angle to the body. The shoulder portions extend only part way from the arm pits of the blank to the neck and a shoulder region of the blank adjacent the neck is formed by extensions of the body shoulder portion and/or sleeve shoulder portions.
