Summary:The pantyhose garment (3) comprises a panty portion (5) and two leg portions (9, 11) formed of circumferentially extending interknit courses of yarn (20, 21, 22, 23). The panty portion (5) provides greater compression than the leg portions (9, 11). Both the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) contain alternating courses (C-1 to C-8) of covered spandex yarn (21, 23) and body yarn (20, 22). The spandex yarns (21, 23) in both the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) are covered with bicomponent nylon yarn. The spandex yarn (21) in the panty portion (5) is of a larger denier than the spandex yarn (23) in the leg portions (9, 11), while the covering yarn on the spandex yarn (23) in the leg portions (9, 11) is of a larger denier than the covering yarn on the spandex yarn (21) in the panty portion (5). The resulting garment (3) is a pantyhose with a generally uniform opacity throughout the panty and leg portions (5, 9, 11) which nonetheless provides extra support in the panty portion (5). The invention also finds application in other circular knit garments.
