Abstract

A device for grouping socks in accordance with the present invention includes a container having a plurality of ridge walls integrally joined to inner side and inner end walls of the container. The ridge walls form channels on the inner side and inner end walls of the container. The device further includes one or more chamber walls removably inserted into selected channels in the container. The one or more chamber walls form at least two sock receiving chambers with each chamber having a chamber cover. Each of the chamber covers has an aperture to allow selected socks to be disposed in a selected sock receiving chamber when the selected chamber cover is in a closed position. Each of the chamber covers has an identification marking on a top surface of each of the chamber covers. The identification marking can include, but not limited to children names, sock sizes, sock lengths, sock colors and a myriad of other group identifiers.
