Abstract: This invention discloses a computer-implemented method for determining production values for producing a custom-tailored knitted garment for a limb of a person. A 3D scan device acquires a three-dimensional data of a limb. A height value describing the dimension of a knitting row in the lengthwise direction of the limb and a total length value for at least one lengthwise section of the garment are provided, and the number of knitting rows for one section of the garment is determined by dividing the total length value by the height value. A circumference information describing the circumference of the limb is derived by evaluating the three-dimensional dataset. A circumference value for each n-th knitting row or each knitting row except every n-th knitting row is determined from the circumference information. The circumference value is used for determining production values for the knitted garment.
