TL;DR: In this paper, the variable knit density has portions that are made of a second knit density greater than the first knit density, and the at least one variable yarn density portion is arranged transverse to an orientation of major strain.
Abstract: A sock having a low pressure area made of a first knit density and at least one high pressure area made of a variable knit density portion. The variable knit density has portions that are made of a second knit density greater than the first knit density. The at least one variable knit density portion is arranged transverse to an orientation of major strain. A sock may also have hydrophobic fibers located substantially across a surface of the sock adapted to be adjacent to skin when worn and hydrophilic fibers located substantially across the hydrophobic fibers and extending therefrom to form loop structures adapted for wicking moisture away from the hydrophobic fibers.
