selectively omitting the second yarn during knitting of the blank to form a vent panel proximate one end of the blank; and

Abstract
A double-layered sock according to the invention includes an inner sock made of a moisture-permeable material such as polypropylene and an outer sock that absorbs such moisture. The inner sock is interposed between the skin of the foot and the absorbed moisture, providing enhanced warmth and comfort. The inner and outer layers are secured together, such as by sewing at the toe portion of each to form the double sock.
