Abstract: A knit footee having a body portion and a top portion connected to the body is disclosed. The top portion includes a first top increment comprising a plurality of completed courses and having a tendency to roll outwardly upon itself and a second top increment comprising a plurality of completed courses connected along a common border to the first top increment and to the neck portion. The first top increment has an inner edge connected at the common border to the neck portion and extending downwardly from the inner edge and from the common border over the neck of the body. The second top increment extends upwardly from the border portion and then downwardly to the neck portion forming a loop. The first and second top increments are secured to the neck portion at the common border portion. The second top increment snugly constricts the top portion when in relaxed condition to cause the top portion to grip the lower ankle area of the wearer.
