1. A method for making a padded sock comprising the steps of:

  • a) forming a first single-piece generally rectangular blank of polyester fleece material having generally parallel longitudinal marginal edges and first and second pairs of laterally opposed dart cuts formed in said longitudinal marginal edges intermediate the length of the blank,b) forming a second single-piece blank of polyester fleece material having laterally opposite longitudinal marginal edges and a pair of laterally opposed dart cuts formed in said marginal edges so as to enable said second blank to be placed in superimposed relation on said first blank with the longitudinal marginal edges and dart cuts of the second blank in juxtaposed relation with longitudinal marginal edges and a first pair of dart cuts on said first blank, said second blank having substantially transverse marginal end edges,c) positioning said second blank in said superimposed relation on said first blank and securing said marginal end edges of said second blank to said first blank by stitched seams disposed generally transverse to said longitudinal marginal edges of said first blank,d) folding said first blank generally transversely of itself so as to bring each longitudinal marginal edge into mutually opposed relation with itself and with marginal edges of each of said dart cuts being in mutually opposed relation, ande) securing said mutually opposed longitudinal marginal edges and dart cut edges together by at least one flatlock seam so as to form a sock having a foot receiving portion and a leg encompassing portion, said flatlock seam also securing said longitudinal and dart cut marginal edges of said second blank to the corresponding marginal edges of the first blank so as to form a double layer padded area on the sock adjacent a toe or heel of the foot receiving portion of the sock.
