ABSTRACT:
A stocking, and the method of manufacturing it, that is single thickness throughout the length thereof, yet does not roll at the top under normal use. For a knee-high stocking, a top section about 7-11 courses wide is formed of only elastic yarn, jersey stitched. The first few courses (or more) of the top section have x wales therein, where x is an integer greater than 1, while a mock ribbed section of the stocking just below the top section has 2 x wales therein. Loops are received by alternate needles of 2x needles of a conventional circular knitting machine during the second course and are held during knitting of subsequent courses so that wale contraction of the top section of the stocking occurs after removal of the stocking from the knitting machine. For casual stockings and also for knee-highs, alternatively the first course may be formed with x wales of both elastic yarn and inelastic yarn, jersey stitched, the second course of 2x wales of jersey stitched only inelastic yarn, the third course of 2x wales of both elastic and inelastic yarn jersey stitched, and the fourth course of pure inelastic yarn tuck stitched, to form a nonroll top section of the stocking. After that a mock ribbed section is formed.
