Abstract

The method of producing the innovative slipper-sock (1), as detailed In this invention, comprises of at least several manufacturing consecutive phases as follows: the knitting of the basic sock (800), the knitting of the fold (810) and of the outer layer sock (820), forming the fixed connection of the outer layer sock to the basic layer sock (830), fixing the fold to the basic layer sock (840) and manufacturing connective elements (850). The innovative slipper-sock consist of at least the basic sock (10) and the outer layer sock (30) that may be folded over the basic sock (10). In order to connect the basic sock (10) with the outer layer sock (30) permanently, the outer layer sock's rim is connected to the basic sock (10) on its upper rim (36) that is in its place when the innovative slipper-sock is pulled over on the leg above the foot. For the purpose of a better aesthetic formation, the innovative slipper-sock comprises of a fold (20) connected to the basic sock (10) with its upper fold rim (25), so that the fold (20) covers the spot where the outer layer sock (30) is attached to the basic sock (10). The outer layer sock (30) has connective elements (40) on its other end, usually a Velcro strip (423, 443) or a connective band or a shoe lace (450) with appropriate elements of the upper and bottom openings (422, 442) to pull through the connective element of the band (450).
