Abstract
When knitting the sole section and instep section of the toe section, knitting is performed while sequentially decreasing the number of stitches on the small-toe side of the toes by a specified number, and after the number of stitches on the large-toe side has been decreased by a ratio larger than the ratio of decreasing the number of stitches on the small-toe side, the number is increased by the same ratio, and by doing this, on the small-toe side, the side edge section goes toward the tip end and deviates to the inside at a specified ratio, and on the large-toe side, side edge section is nearly a straight line toward the tip end, and by doing this, the shape of the tip end of the toe section protrudes such that it gradually extends to the front of the toes going from the small-toe side to the large-toe side, and that shape is such that it runs along the curve that is obtained by connecting the tip ends of the toes.
