Weft knit fabric structure composed of an interlocking system of loops, forming repeated wales (columns) and courses (rows). Optimal contractive forces are translated to the body when these fabrics are oriented with increasing wales along the length of the body (fabric x-axis) and at minimum 10 courses around the circumference (fabric y-axis). The remaining circumference can be completed with passive fabric.
