Abstract
The cotton characteristics are provided in the panty portion of the pantyhose of the present invention by knitting alternate single courses of the panty portion of a thermoplastic yarn and a much larger cotton yarn in plated relationship with the thermoplastic yarn. Stretchable characteristics are provided in the panty portion of the pantyhose by knitting intervening single courses of the panty portion of a thermoplastic yarn and a plated spandex yarn. The much larger cotton yarn, knit in alternate single courses, is predominant on both the inside and outside of the panty portion. The sheer legs of the pantyhose are formed by merely discontinuing the knitting of the cotton yarn in alternate single courses of the leg and discontinuing the knitting of the thermoplastic yarn so that the legs are formed of alternate single courses of thermoplastic yarn and intervening single courses of spandex yarn.
