Abstract
A method for producing tubular compression knitted fabric includes: knitting a tubular first section of a basic knitted fabric forming stitches from at least one knitting yarn along a knitting direction, with a plurality of rows of stitches following one another in the knitting direction and an elastic weft yarn bound into the stitches via tuck stitches; and seamlessly knitting of a second section onto the first section along the knitting direction. In the second section viewed in the knitting direction, the number of stitches is successively reduced at least in some of the successive rows of stitches by transferring of stitches, thereby forming a closed dome-shaped end at the distal end of the second section by a reduction of stitches. The compression knitted fabric is usable to create prosthetic stockings for an amputated limb to apply compression pressure with a defined pressure profile without causing skin irritation.
