Abstract: A method of manufacturing a double-layer knitted fabric such as a compression article is provided. The method is performed on a knitting machine having at least two needle beds. The knitted fabric includes an outer layer made of a hydrophilic yarn on the first needle bed and an inner layer made of a hydrophobic yarn on the second needle bed. The method includes a. Forming of stitches with a hydrophilic yarn with all needles of the first needle bed and with selected needles of the second needle bed; b. transferring the stitches made of the hydrophilic yarn and formed on the selected needles of the second needle bed to needles of the first needle bed; c. immediately after transferring the stitches, forming of stitches with a hydrophobic yarn on the selected needles of the second needle bed as well as with all other needles of the second needle bed.

Abstract: A compression article and method for its production on a flat-bed knitting machine are provided for providing an improved fit to a body part. In the compression article, respectively the number of stitches per stitch row is matched to the radial circumference of the body part to be treated by the compression article. The compression article has a plurality of points which are distributed over its circumference and at which, in a stitch row, at least one of a stitch increase and a stitch reduction is realized. The number of stitches in the wale direction varies over the circumference of the compression article and is matched, in the longitudinal direction of the body part, to the shape of the body part to be treated.
