Freely cuttable garment

Abstract

A freely cuttable garment is provided. The freely cuttable garment is capable of being cut by a consumer into any design shape for use. The garment is formed of a fray-preventing knitted fabric woven with heat-welding elastic yarn. Sizes of opening parts of the neck, side, and bottom of the garment are smaller than those of a standard product; a total length and sleeve length of the garment are larger than those of the standard product; and a body width, cuff, waist, and lower bottom edge of the garment are equal to those of the standard product. The garment can be cut into any design shape and can be used with the opening parts left cut-off.

1 . A method of providing a garment, comprising the steps of:
 weaving a weft knitted fabric by plating stitch by feeding a heat-welding elastic yarn and a different type of yarn through mutually different yarn-feeding openings, the plating stitch serving to stably define arrangement of the yarn of each of organized loops and locating the heat-welding elastic yarn adjacent to all the loops;   providing all the loops of the weft knitted fabric with fray-preventing function by melting the heat-welding elastic yarn through a heat setting process to the weft knitted fabric, thereby forming a fray-preventing weft knitted fabric; and   providing the garment formed of the fray-preventing weft knitted fabric with a cut-off design model on opening parts of the garment.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the weft knitted fabric is formed as fraise. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heat-welding elastic yarn is a low melting polyurethane elastic yarn. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the garment formed of the fray-preventing weft knitted fabric with the cut-off design model on the opening parts of the garment includes:
 providing the cut-off design model on one or more of a neckline part, an armhole part, a cuff part, and a bottom circumference part of a shirt-type garment.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the weft knitted fabric is formed as fraise. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the heat-welding elastic yarn is a low melting polyurethane elastic yarn. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the garment formed of the fray-preventing weft knitted fabric with the cut-off design model on the opening parts of the garment includes:
 providing the cut-off design model on one or more of a waistline part and a bottom circumference part of a pant-type garment.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the weft knitted fabric is formed as fraise. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the heat-welding elastic yarn is a low melting polyurethane elastic yarn. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising cutting at least one of the opening parts of the garment based on the cut-off design model. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the garment formed of fray-preventing weft knitted fabric with the cut-off design model includes:
 expressing the cut-off design model on a wrapping paper or a board in possible transition from an original pattern to a plurality of modified patterns, wherein each one of the modified patterns, except for the original pattern, is modified from another one of the modified patterns, and there are at least two of the modified patterns that are not modified from each other.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the modified patterns include a first modified pattern, a second modified pattern, and a third modified pattern, the second modified pattern is directly modified from the first modified pattern, the first modified pattern is directly modified from the original pattern, and the third modified pattern is not modified from the first modified pattern or the second modified pattern.
