Panties including two tubular limb portions and a tubular body portion formed and joined in a circular knitting machine, wherein the tubular limb portions have their same sides situated outside and are joined on one hand by the body tubular portion and on the other hand are mutually joined. The tubular limb portions may be connected by means of a part in the form of a closed toe. Method of manufacturing the above panties, wherein successively there are knitted and retained three tubular portions of panties mutually slipped into each other in such manner that the tubular portion for the body part is situated between two tubular limb portion. The tubular portion for the body part is joined by knitting on one part of the border circumference with the adjacent part of the border of one tubular limb portions situated at its outer side, and on the other part of the border circumference with the adjacent part of the border of a tubular limb portion situated at its inner side. Said tubular limb portions are mutually circumferentially joined on the remaining parts of the border by being knitted in the form of a closed toe, the mutual joining of the tubular limb portions being performed after joining the tubular portion for the body part with the tubular limb portion situated at its inner side.
A folded, knitted pantyhose garment comprising first and second tubular limb portions, a third tubular body portion, and a crotch portion having an outer periphery, the first, second and third portions having mutually joined first open ends, the first, third and second portions being arranged substantially coaxially one within the other in radial inward succession with their respective first ends facing in the same direction, the inwardly facing surface of the outermost first portion confronting the outwardly facing surface of the third portion, the outwardly facing surface of the innermost second portion confronting the inwardly-facing surface of the third portion, a first half of the circumference of the first end of the third portion being joined directly to a corresponding adjacent first half of the circumference of the first end of the first portion, the remaining half of the circumference of the first end of the third portion being joined directly to the adjacent half of the circumference of the first end of the second portion, the remaining halves of the circumference of the first ends of the respective first and second portions being joined by the outer periphery of the crotch portion, whereby the above-mentioned outwardly-facing surfaces of the first and second portions of the folded garment remain the outwardly-facing surfaces of said portions when the garment is unfolded.
A method of manufacturing a pantyhose garment on a circular knitting machine, comprising the steps of knitting substantially identical first and second tubular limb portions, a third tubular body portion, and a crotch portion in the form of a closed toe, the first, second and third portions respectively having first open end adapted to cooperate with each other and with the crotch portion to define the finished garment;
