Seamless pedorthic sock and method of knitting same

摘要

A pedorthic sock having seamless toe area, heel pocket and leg area knitted of two or more low stretch yarns, and narrow bands of nonconstricting elastic yarn located intermediate the length of the leg area and at the top. The socks are produced by a flatbed knitting machine set up with a row of needles on each of front and back beds selectively fed with relatively low stretch yarns and an elastic yarn. The low stretch yarns form a plating knit on the inner and outer faces of the sock to produce desired functional effects.
