Abstract
A cuffless sock is provided which has a permanently rolled top portion adapted to encircle the lower ankle area of the wearer and which is knitted in such a way that the rolled top portion has an inherent tendency to roll upon itself. The rolled top portion is tacked to the body portion of the sock at spaced apart points at the sides of the foot receiving opening to hold the top portion in its rolled condition while permitting the untacked front and rear portions of the top to conform to varying configurations and heights of the upper edge of different shoes with which the sock is to be worn. The front and rear portions of the rolled top are preferably provided with terry loops while the opposite side portions are devoid of terry loops to be substantially smaller than the front and rear rolled top portions.
