CLOTHING ARTICLE HAVING TERRY CLOTH ADJACENT TO NON-TERRY CLOTH
A garment for a human wearer includes: a terry garment-region having terry-knit cloth; and a non-terry garment-region having non-terry-knit cloth. The terry garment-region is directly bordering and adjacent to the non-terry garment-region. The terry garment-region and the non-terry garment-region are a seamless continuation of each other. Similarly, a continuous fabric for making clothes includes: a terry fabric-region having terry-knit cloth, and an adjacent and immediately bordering non- terry fabric-region having non-terry-knit cloth.
A knitting system includes a seamless circular knitting machine. It has a circular set of needles having a particular number of needles (M), in the range of 500 to 2,500 needles, arranged in a circular pattern; and a knit controller to selectively operate each one of the needles on a needle- by-needle basis. The system includes a digital computational design tool, to receive a bitmap image, having a pixel width resolution that is identical to the particular number of needles; and based on analysis of the bitmap image, to generate and to send knitting instructions to the knit controller of the seamless circular knitting machine, based on direct correlation between (I) a particular Nth pixel in a particular Rth row of the bitmap image, and (II) needle activity of a corresponding particular Nth needle needles when said Nth needle knits the Rth row of a knitted product.
Garment and clothes that are unravel-free and roll-free. A garment includes a particular garment-region made of knitted fabric. A majority of threads of the knitted fabric are yarns other than a thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn, such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, cellulose, polyurethane. At least one thread of the knitted fabric is a thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn that is knitted integrally in the knitted fabric and is located within N millimeters from an edge or an opening of the garment, wherein N is in the range of 0 to 10 millimeters. The edge or the opening of the garment-region is unravel free and is roll-free, due to inclusion of, or proximity to, the thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn in the knitted fabric.

UNDERWEAR WITH ADAPTIVE LEG OPENINGS AND SIZE-ADJUSTING FABRIC-REGIONS
Underwear for a human wearer, having adaptive leg openings and size-adjusting fabric-regions. A singular fabric-region of the undergarment is structured as a saddle, located beneath a crotch or gusset area, and extends downwardly along a portion of the upper inner right hip and the upper inner left hip. That fabric-region is formed of a fabric or yarns having a particular elasticity characteristic, that is different from the elasticity characteristics of other fabric-regions of that undergarment; and that provides an increased elasticity, and particularly an increased horizontal elasticity, to that saddle-structured fabric region.
