Abstract: A stocking and method of making a stocking in which an aerated region is knitted from a synthetic yarn, such as nylon, and another softer, more moisture-absorbent yarn, such as cotton, to provide a greater surface area of the synthetic material on the exterior surface than on the interior surface and a greater surface area of the other yarn on the interior surface than on the exterior surface and in which the aeration is provided by knitting air flow interstices in that region of the stocking.
