Abstract
Disclosed is a method of fabricating a hosiery garment. The garment has a pair of limb portions and a torso portion knitted from a continuous tubular member in a seamless manner. A gusset is created on one side of said tubular member over a limited intermediate portion thereof by gathering fabric during said knitting. A slit is formed in said tubular member opposite the gusset to define said torso portion with said limb portions extending on either side thereof. A waistband is sewn on the slit to fold the linear tubular member about the torso portion's longitudinal axis. Preferably the ratio of fabric of the torso portion to the gusset is 5:1.
