ABSTRACT:
A method of making a sock especially adapted for use as a ski sock. The sock is designed to avoid sock pull down or drag down problems by utilizing a stabilizing band of elastic yarn knit in plated relationship with the body yarn and extending around the apex of the heel. The method of manufacturing this split-heel construction uses a circular hosiery knitting machine having short, medium and long butt needles. The needles are selectively lifted out of and dropped in to the knitting track of the machine to form the desired split-heel which prevents sock ride down.
