Thus, the casual/dress sport sock in its extended position comprises a right side out foot-covering portion, a right side out lower area of the leg-covering portion, and a wrong side out upper area of the leg-covering portion. When cuffed, the sock comprises a uniform aesthetic knitting stitch pattern wherein the cuff portion, the lower area of the leg-covering and the foot-covering portion of the sock are all presented in right side out condition when worn on the foot.
