Abstract (en)

The present invention provides for an automated process for producing knit garments (400) having a tailored look when worn by wearers having different body shapes. Through a combination of woven fibre tailoring techniques, adapted to the domain of knit fabrics, and an innovative approach to programming a three-dimensional seamless garment knitting machine to knit the garment in a new way, a knit garment (400) can be produced which adapts to fit different wearers having different body types while following the wearer's anatomy and providing support where required, thus allowing the same garment to provide a tailored look to different wearers having different body shapes.
