Abstract
A collar edge construction for a knitted garment. The construction includes a garment body provided with a finished lower edge and sleeves suitably attached opposite side of the upper end of the garment body. The body is cut away in the usual manner at its upper extremity to form a neck opening. The neck opening is visibly framed by a strip of collarette material which is folded longitudinally to form inner and outer layers. The lower portion of the outer layer is preferably folded inwardly to form a folded portion. The lower edge of the inner layer is also preferably folded to form a second folded portion. In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the edge of the body extends upwardly between the layers substantially to the longitudinal fold in the collarette. Preferably, at least two parallel lines of stitching pass through the lower portions of the collarette strip and the body fabric to complete the assembly. Because both edges of the collarette are folded inwardly, no raw edges show. The resulting construction is durable, has a natural tendency to lay flat, and provides an attractive finish in the neck of the garment.
