Abstract: Knit sport shirts and the like characterized by having the body portion and the trim of exactly the same color shade are manufactured by circularly knitting the same type of yarn to form first and second tubular fabrics and then simultaneously dyeing both the first and second tubular fabrics together to obtain the same color in both fabrics. The second tubular fabric is unraveled and the unraveled yarn is used in knitting the trim on a flat knitting machine. The first tubular fabric is cut and sewn to form the body blank and the knit trim is attached to the body blank to complete the sport shirt.
