Abstract
A warp-knitted fabric from which garments can be obtained without accompanying any sewing process. The fabric is constructed by a first and second layers 10 and 12, which construct first and second sides, respectively of garments and which are basically separated from each other. The first and second layers are connected with each other along an outline 14 of the garment. At locations corresponding to sleeves of the garment, the fabric is integrated with indicator lines CL1, CL2 and CL3 for effect a cutting of the garment at the sleeve portions. A wearer select one of the indicator lines and uses the selected line as a guide for effect a cutting at the sleeve portions so that a desired sleeve length which is best fitted to the wearer is obtained.

- knitting a fabric having layers which are separate from each other and which are to be front and back bodies of the garments, while the fabric has portions whereat the layers are stitched with each other along the outlines of the garments;
- forming, simultaneously with the knitting of the fabric, at the locations of the fabric where portions of a human body are passed, such as a sleeve, indicators which are the indicative for a wearer for guiding him or her to effect a size adjustment;
- cutting the fabric along said outline of the garment so that the garment is separated from the fabric;
- under the guidance of the one of the indicators, selected by the wearer based on his or her size as well as the preference, cutting the garment at said location of the garment whereat the size adjustment is necessary, thereby providing the desired size of the garment at said location, which is matched with the wearer's size as well as his or her preference, without accompanying any sewing process.
