The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein the first yarn strand and the second yarn strand both include an amount of elasticity providing a maximum stretch of less than 200% prior to returning to a non-stretched state. 11. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein each interlocked course further comprises a course of interlock tuck stitches that binds a respective front-stitch course to a respective back-stitch course by interlooping with every other front stitch and every other back stitch, and wherein the course of interlock tuck stitches is constructed of a third yarn strand that includes a maximum stretch of less than 200% prior to returning to a non-stretched state. 12. The upper-torso garment of claim 11, wherein the plurality of interlocked courses includes a first interlocked course interloopedly coupled to a second interlocked course, and wherein a course of interlock tuck stitches in the first interlocked course is offset from a course of interlock tuck stitches in the second interlocked course. 13. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein each stitch in the quantity of front stitches and the quantity of back stitches includes a stitch length in a range of about 3.00 mm to about 3.30 mm. 14. The upper-torso garment of claim 1, wherein the upper-torso garment is a bra that includes a chest band having a chest-band size in a range of 28 inches to 38 inches, wherein the plurality of interlocked courses includes a quantity of courses in a range of about 40 courses to about 120 courses, and wherein the respective intra-course knit sequence repeats a quantity of times in a range of about 5 times to about 10 times. 15.
