Abstract (en)

A succession of seamless tubular garment blanks 11 are knitted integrally on a cylindrical knitting machine, each blank 11 including at one end thereof a welt or selvedge 12 forming part of a knitted elasticated portion 13 which is destined to form an elasticated waistband in the finished garment. The elasticated portion 13 is separated from the next succeeding blank 11 by a steam-soluble draw thread 14. After knitting, the blanks are flattened, pre-shrunk and separated in a single steam-treatment operation. An end of each blank remote from portion 13 is then shaped by a cutting machine, and the blank centre-crease folded in a conventional manner. Because the welt or selvedge 12 of each blank is knitted in finished form, there is no need for a separate hemming operation and the make-up of the garment is therefore improved.
