| Abstract: |
A child's convertible pajama leg construction is provided which selectively serves either as a neat anklet hugging sleeve or as a sock-like enclosure for protecting the child's foot. The ankle sleeve is defined by two elongated panels joined along longitudinal seams and being circumferentially stretchable, with one panel having a manipulatable cuff formed thereon and arranged in one position to hug the sleeve and in another position to serve as a closure for the sock. Fastener elements for a hook-and-loop type of fastener assembly are positioned on the panels and the cuff in various locations to enable a preschool child to manipulate the panels and the cuff to expose the child's foot to the atmosphere or to confine the foot into the sock-like enclosure without the assistance of an older person.

The invention claimed is:
1. A convertible garment leg construction, suitable for use in a small child's pajamas, which comprises in combination:
- a. a garment leg having an upper open end merged into a crotch and seat portion of a fabric garment, and having a lower open end spaced from said upper open end;
- b. an elongated tubular fabric sleeve having an upper open end attached to the lower open end of said garment leg and having a lower open end spaced from said sleeve upper open end, having an elongated front fabric panel with side edges and having an elongated rear fabric panel with side edges, and having a length sufficient to provide a foot receiving sock element when the sleeve is extended to its full length;
- c. an elongated fabric cuff on said sleeve lower open end partially within said sleeve, and extended across an inside surface of said rear panel of said sleeve, said cuff having an upper cuff edge above said sleeve lower open end and having a lower cuff edge fold below the sleeve lower open end;
- d. a hook-and-loop type fastener unit having a first fastener element containing a plurality of loops and having a second fastener element containing a plurality of hooks for grippingly engaging said loops, one of said fastener elements being mounted on an inside surface of said sleeve front panel proximate said sleeve lower open end and the other one of said fastener elements being mounted on an inwardly facing outer surface of said cuff in a position across from said one of said fastener elements and located to provide that a wearer of said garment may manipulate said front panel and said cuff to bring said fastener elements into gripping engagement to close off said sleeve lower open end and provide said foot receiving sock element; and,
- e. a third fastener element containing a plurality of hooks mounted on an outside surface of said sleeve front panel, and positioned proximate said sleeve lower open end.
