Abstract
The anatomical isotonic sock and method for knitting the sock provide enhanced protection and cushioning comfort to the foot of the wearer and is form-fitting and remains so after prolonged periods of use and numerous launderings. The sock has a knit foot and includes a relatively thick density of terry loops formed of at least three terry yarns in the ball and heel portions of the foot for supplementing and protecting the fatty pads so as to provide a therapeutic and preventative benefit to the foot of the wearer. A relatively thin density of terry loops formed of at least one terry yarn is knit in an arch portion and an instep portion of the foot and an intermediate density of terry loops formed of two terry yarns is knit in a toe portion. A stretchable body yarn is knit throughout the foot and cooperates with the terry loop yarn so as to maintain the terry loops in a substantially upstanding position thereby enhancing the cushioning characteristics of the terry loops in the sock over prolonged periods of use and numerous launderings.
