Abstract
A circular knit therapeutic garment in which bare elastomeric yarn is knit in selected courses and wales with a non-elastomeric yarn in other selected courses and wales in the boot portion of a stocking to provide a retractive or compressive force of graduating degrees as required with a circumferential heel-instep band of lesser retractive or compressive force, and a closed toe area in which stretchable fabric with minimal retractive forces is integrally knit to the foot portion of the garment whereby the bar elastomeric yarns are buried or concealed by the knitted non-elastomeric yarns to provide improved hand and snag resistance and retractive force on the leg of a wearer.
