<p>A rotary knitted pouch heel comprises a series of successive incomplete courses (4.1 to 4.N) between adjoining terminal courses (1 and 2) of leg and foot parts. Each incomplete course has at each end at least one tucking loop (5.1 to 5.N and 6.1 to 6.N). In one embodiment as shown the series of incomplete courses are shortened from both the leg and foot parts to a transverse axis of symmetry (10) where a complete course (3) is provided to which the tucking loops are linked on. In another embodiment the series of incomplete courses are lengthened from both the leg and foot parts to a transverse axis of symmetry and the tucking loops are linked on to the adjoining terminal sources of the leg and foot parts. In each case the course to which the tucking loops are linked on is longer than any incomplete course. Such a pouch may be formed in other knitwork pieces. <IMAGE></p>
