| Abstract: |
The pocket is formed of first and second layers of knit fabric formed of partial courses to provide a looped fabric section integral with the leg of the stocking. The looped open sides of the pocket are stitched together after knitting to complete the pocket. The partial courses in the lower portions of the first and second layers are all of the same length and may be knit with reciprocation or rotary knitting and the partial courses at the upper ends of the first and second layers are "fashioned" with their opposed ends being connected together during the knitting operation.
