The heel raising step 120 refers to a knitting that gradually narrows its width while reducing the needle nose by one nose from the left and right by using half of the annular knitting needle as a pick-up step. On the contrary, the heel lowering step 122 refers to knitting which alternately repeats the pickdown and the pickup. That is, if the pick-up step is increased by 2 noses left and right and 1 nose is decreased by pick-up, consequently the left and right noses are increased by 1 and 2 sides of the raising step and the lowering step are interlocked with each other to form a pickup line to protrude into an L shape. The pocket part is formed. In the case of baby socks, it is also possible to add the heel raising step after the heel lowering step 122 or to repeat the raising and lowering steps several times to form the sole of the foot.

The body editing step BD includes a body start step 124 and a body edit step 126. In the ankle editing step BD, the knitting length is determined according to the length of the body, and the bottom may be doubled to give a cushion.

Toe pocket knitting step (TE) includes a toe start step 128, toe up step 130, toe down step 132. The toe raising step 130 refers to a knitting that gradually narrows its width while reducing the needle nose by one nose from the left and right by using half of the annular knitting needle as a pick-up step. On the contrary, the toe lowering step 132 refers to knitting which alternately picks up and picks up. That is, if the pick-up step is increased by 2 noses left and right and 1 nose is decreased by pick-up, consequently, the left and right noses increase by 1 nose, so that both sides of the raising step and the lowering step interlock with each other to form a pickup line to protrude into a C shape. The pocket part is formed.

Finishing step (EN) is Rosso stage 134, 1: 1 hanging step 136, rubber start step 138, rubber knitting step 140, 1; 1 finishing step 142, end point 144 It includes. In other words, in the present invention, instead of the conventional suture line, the elastic band is formed and the opening and the opening for 1: 1 are introduced between the body part and the toe pocket by introducing a 1: 1 hanging and a 1: 1 finishing so as not to loosen the tie. .

This finishing process can be made simply by the design editing of the socks, it is possible to manufacture the socks of the finished product without the suture line in a conventional circular knitting machine.
