Claims19
A sock comprising a heel area and a foot area, wherein the heel area comprises a non-linear knitted patterned component having a selective point-by-point increased knitting relative to the foot area;
- wherein at least one point in the heel area, comprises at least double-knitting at said one point, and is surrounded exclusively by points having only single-knitting.
A knitting system comprising:
- a knitting machine comprising one or more needles;
- and
- a control unit to selectively control operation of said one or more needles, the control unit comprising a knitting modifier module to selectively modify operation of at least one of said one or more needles causing the knitting machine to knit a sock comprising a heel area and a foot area, wherein the heel area comprises a non-linear knitted patterned component having a selective point-by-point increased knitting relative to the foot area;
- wherein at least one point in the heel area, comprises at least double-knitting at said one point, and is surrounded exclusively by points having only single-knitting.
A method intended for utilization in conjunction with a knitting machine comprising one or more needles, the method comprising:
- selectively controlling operation of said one or more needles by selectively modifying operation of at least one of said one or more needles causing the knitting machine to knit a sock comprising a heel area and a foot area, wherein the heel area comprises a non-linear knitted patterned component having a selective point-by-point increased knitting relative to the foot area;
- wherein at least one point in the heel area, comprises at least double-knitting at said one point, and is surrounded exclusively points having only single-knitting.
