Morphology

full-fashioned = full + fashioned (semi-transparent) = full + fashion + ed

The parts 'full' and 'fashioned' (fashion + -ed) are recognizable, but the specialised meaning referring to a particular knitting method and fit is somewhat technical and not fully derivable by a general learner.

Etymology

Full-fashioned comes from full and fashioned, where fashioned means 'made' or 'shaped' and is the same root as the everyday word fashion. So a full-fashioned sweater or stocking is 'made' to the full shape of the body, which is why it fits closely and looks neater.
