- The earliest known garments are socks, which were made without seams and closed loops. They displayed all the techniques of the integral garments. For this, shaping garments, like- swimwear, and sportswear cannot make with this construction.
- Caps, gloves and hose are also knitted without seams and to approximate the shape of the body allowing stretching the garment to provide a perfect fit. So, different items in shape and size cannot make.
