Abstract
A garment run prevention method includes cutting an opening, for example for a leg, in a portion of a knitted garment approximately parallel to the wales across a minimum number of wales to prevent runs in the direction of knitting. Another aspect of such a method includes knitting a garment from back to front and placing run-prevention stitches, such as float stitches or tuck stitches, in areas where cutting a front leg opening cuts across wales of the garment to prevent runs in the direction of knitting.
