- FIG. 10 is a schematic representation of a functional element 158 of the knitted area 176 of the base knit 172 adjacent to the functional element 158 in a right / left plain weave consisting of a main thread 178 (shown without hatching in FIG. 10
- Plating thread 180 (shown with hatching in FIG. 10) is knitted.
- the knitted area 174 (shown centrally in FIG. 10) of the functional element 158, which comprises seven wales and six rows of stitches in the exemplary embodiment shown, an additional plush thread 182 (punctured in FIG. 10) is knitted into the basic knit 172 in plush binding ,
- the knitted area 174 of the functional element 158 is thus selectively formed as a plush (sandwich or normal plush).
- This plush forms a structure raised above the basic knit 172.
- the plush can be knitted in ergonomic technique (placed in forms) or selected.
- the shape of the knitted area 174 is basically arbitrary; In particular, each of the outer contours illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 9 can be used for this purpose.
- Each functional element 158 comprising a knitted area 174 with a raised surface is separated from the other functional elements 158 by the plush yarn 182 additionally made from a knitting machine base system or from one or more embroidery systems of the knitting machine, which forms stitches together with the base fabric 172 , knitted.
- the additional plush thread 182 While the main thread 178 and the plating thread 180 result in smooth stitching, the additional plush thread 182 generates ground loops having plush loops 184 facing inwardly (ie, in the worn state of the leg garment toward the wearer's skin).
- the additional plush thread 182 is introduced into a surface to be determined freely by a pattern image and cut, for example, by a saw and an upper blade of the knitting machine so that individual functional elements 158 arranged separately from one another are formed.
- a knitting machine having needles 186 and plush boards 188 as shown schematically in FIG. 11 may be used.
- the plush boards 188 shown in FIG. 11 are sandwich plush boards. Alternatively, but other tee boards, in particular normal plush boards, can be used.

- the plush yarn 182 forming combination of these materials can be prepared for example by swirling or winding.
- a twisting process is less preferred in order to obtain a substantial neutrality of the twist tendency.
- the thread structure forming the plush thread 182 can be processed very well in the knitting process during the knitting process because of its still present softness.
- the hardness of the functional elements 158 produced in this way can be influenced, for example, by the choice of the treatment temperature during the heat treatment.
- a higher treatment temperature generally leads to a higher degree of hardness of the functional elements 158, since a larger proportion of the hot-melt adhesive material is melted and bonds with the other materials in the knitted area 174 of the functional element 158, whereby the functional element 158 becomes stiffer.
- the heat treatment after the knitting of the knitted area 174 of the functional element 158 can be carried out, for example, by tumbling, molding or applying hot air.

- any desired materials and combinations of materials may be used as the main thread 178 and as the plating thread 180 for the basic knit 172.
- the basic thread 178 used is the elastic binding material CT 6416, consisting of an elastane thread with the fineness dtex 17, wound with a polyamide thread with dtex 16F10, and as the plating thread 180 a polyamide yarn with dtex 78/68/2 ,
