A compression hosiery garment, comprising:
- a knit fabric comprising a first yarn and a second yarn knit in an alternating knit construction comprising at least one course of the second yarn for each course of the first yarn, the first yarn comprising a covered yarn having an elastic core, the second yarn comprising an inelastic yarn,
- wherein the alternating knit construction comprises an inverse course shift in which the course of the first yarn is looser relative to the course of the second yarn, creating a course offset where the first yarn is knit with a first course height that is greater than a second course height of the second yarn, and wherein the course offset between the first course height and the second course height is between 0.2 millimeters and 0.6 millimeters.
