INVISIBLY REINFORCED HOSIERY TOE A method of knitting hosiery on a circular knitting machine and the hosiery so produced. A seamless tube is rotary knit, the tube having leg, ankle, and foot portions, and the foot portion having a nude toe portion. A gradually decreasing stitch size is provided from the leg portion to the ankle portion for fit purposes. The fabric density in the toe portion is increased relative to the ankle portion by gradually decreasing the stitch size in the foot portion while maintaining substantially the same yarn weight. The resulting product has no line of demarcation since the increased fabric density is accomplished very gradually and the toe has a wear life clearly superior to that of the normal "nude" toe, approaching that of a reinforced toe. |
