Abstract

A method of producing a fashioned, one-piece flat knitted article for a garment includes knitting several knitted article parts having a front part, a rear part and two sleeves separately and sequentially so that in each knitted article part always several loop rows are knitted in accordance with a pattern for said each knitted article part before transferring to a next knitted article part, knitting the front part and a shoulder region of any shape and pattern after finishing the sleeves with the formation of an arbitrarily shaped neck opening between the front part and the rear part, transferring connecting rows of the sleeves in a loop-like manner inwardly in a direction of the shoulder region and the front and rear parts until sleeve connecting edges are completely turned inwardly relative to the front part and rear part, and subsequently finally knitting a last knitted article part in correspondence with a pattern for said last knitted article part.
