A method of knitting a blank for a sleeved garment on a knitting machine having two opposed needle beds containing independently operable needles, comprises, in either order, the steps of forming two sleeve portions of the blank, each extending between a cuff and an underarm level of a sleeve of the garment, by knitting in reciprocatory manner on needles of the two opposed needle beds at two locations to form U-shaped courses, the joined ends of the two arms of each U-shaped course of a sleeve portion lying on the needle beds adjacent the joined ends of a corresponding U-shaped course of the other sleeve portion, and forming two body portions of the blank by knitting separately two pieces of fabric one on each of the two needle beds.
