Abstract

In the process for producing a fully fashioned flat fabric for a garment equipped with sleeves, first one of two body part, for example front parts (10), and additionally the two sleeves (11, 12) are knitted with separate yarn guides (A, B, C) to the completion of the sleeves. Subsequently, further knitting is carried out only with the yarn guide (A) for the front part (10), the end edges (11a, 12a) of the sleeves (11, 12) being tied stitch by stitch, by transfer, to the further formed body parts of the fabric. Thus the two sleeves (11, 12) are brought out of their original position parallel to the front part (10) into a desired transverse position in the finished flat fabric.
