Abstract
A circularly knitted garment and a method of making a circularly knitted garment are provided. The garment has a cylindrical layer of fabric having an inner layer having a first free-end and a first edge, an outer layer having a second free-end and a second edge and a junction to join the first edge to the second edge. The second free-end is connected to the first free-end and the second edge is connected to the first edge during the knitting process to form a completed two-ply garment. The method provides turning the second series of courses outside of the first series of courses while the second series of courses is joined by held loops to the first series of courses at a junction. The method further includes knitting a second free-end to a first-free end using held loops from the second series of courses to form a completed two-ply garment.
