Dual sleeved sock and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A dual sleeved sock is provided as a sock having two cuffs. One cuff remains on the wearer's leg in a normal fashion, while the other cuff folds down over the wearer's boots.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A sock comprising: 
 an inner cuff; and    foldable outer cuff.    
     
     
         2 . The sock of  claim 1 , wherein said inner cuff is defined as having an inner portion of which remains next to a user's skin when worn by the user, and an opposing outer portion, said inner and outer portions comprise a foot-covering portion which includes a toe portion and a heel portion.  
     
     
         3 . The sock of  claim 2 , wherein said inner and outer portions further comprise a leg-covering portion which includes said foldable, outer cuff formed integrally therewith along a linearly elongated centerline thereof, wherein said outer cuff is designed and configured so as to fold downward in a direction away from the leg-covering portion to the heel portion in such a manner whereby the cuff folds over a top portion of a boot so as to effectively cover upper boot laces.  
     
     
         4 . The sock of  claim 1 , wherein said inner cuff is fabricated as a separate loop from said outer cuff.  
     
     
         5 . The sock of  claim 3 , wherein said outer cuff includes a selvage makeup formed of several rounds of elastic yarn, and a group of courses of suitable knit stitch link patterns positioned adjacent for fabricating said outer cuff.  
     
     
         6 . A sock of  claim 5 , wherein said selvage makeup is formed by interlacing the rounds of yarn in alternate needles for forming an initial knit stitch link pattern.  
     
     
         7 . The sock of  claim 6 , wherein a single round of yarn is subsequently knitted on all needles so as to form a desired remaining group of courses of suitable knit stitch link patterns making up the cuff.  
     
     
         8 . The sock of  claim 7 , wherein upon completion of the knitting of a final course of the inner portion, the leg-covering portion and the foot-covering portion are knitted by feeding yarn to all needles so that the identical suitable knit stitch link pattern are formed, thereby automatically integrally knitting the cuff to the linearly elongated centerline of the leg-covering portion.
