ABSTRACT:
A fleece sock is made from a first blank of fleece material of a length and width to cover the foot and to encompass at least part of the ankle of a wearer, the blank having an arcuate cut-out in each side thereof in the region to be occupied by the heel of the wearer and being folded in half to align the cutouts, and a second, generally circular blank of fleece material formed into a separate heel cup having arcuate marginal edges. The marginal edges of the heel cup are aligned with and secured to the marginal edges of the arcuate cut-outs in the first blank, and the remaining marginal edges of the first blank are secured to one another to form a seam that extends along one side of the foot and ankle of the wearer. The two blanks as thus secured together form a sock with seamless plantar and dorsal surfaces, a seamless side surface, a fitted heel cup and at least a partial ankle encompassing portion. The heel cup mitigates creeping of the sock down over the heel of the wearer and balling of the sock under the wearer's foot. The sock fits comformably to the wearer's foot and has large seamless areas and minimal stitching to insure wearer comfort.
