-13- ABSTRACT Moisture control characteristics are imparted to the sock of the present invention by body yarn (B) knit in successive courses throughout the leg (10) and foot (12). A hydrophobic yarn (Y-1) is knit in plated relationship with the body yarn (B) in partial courses extending throughout the sole (15), and hydrophilic yarn (Y-2) is knit in plated relationship with the body yarn (B) in partial courses extending throughout the instep (16) whereby moisture generated by the foot of the wearer is wicked and transported from the sole (15) and into the instep (16) to be evaporated therefrom. Cut free ends of the hydrophobic yarn (Y-1) extend from the endmost stitch loops in wales along the juncture of the sole (15) and the instep (16) while cut free ends of the hydrophilic yarn (Y-2) extend from endmost stitch loops in wales along the juncture of the sole (15) and instep (16) so that the endmost stitch loops at opposite ends of the partial courses of the hydrophobic (Y-1) and hydrophilic (Y-2) yarns are formed in adjacent wales and are not knit in plated relationship with each other in the same courses.
