There is provided a method for knitting a knitted fabric, different from a conventional method, of forming a suppressing section for suppressing a stretch in the knitting width direction of the knitted fabric in the knitting process of the knitted fabric. One side in a longitudinal direction of needle beds (FB, BB) is assumed as a moving direction (DR). A suppressing section (4) is formed by repeating performing of a bind-off process, in which a first stitch (11) held on one needle bed (FB) is overlapped with a second stitch (12) that is proximate in the moving direction (DR) and a retaining stitch (15) is knitted following in a wale direction of a double stitch (13) of the first stitch (11) and the second stitch (12), and forming of a new base stitch (14) branched from at least one of the first stitch (11) and the second stitch (12).

A sock includes a foot section and a toe section both formed of knitted fabric, the toe section being provided in the form of a bag having a predetermined shape by mutual joining of circumferential edges of the knitted fabric. A knitted portion of the fabric covers a lateral face of the vicinity of a base of the toe section. A big-toe side end edge of fabric covers at least one of the sole portion and instep portion of the toe section and wraps around to the other on the toe base side and a big-toe side join line joining them is located within the plane of the other. The toe section consists of a big toe bag and a four-toe bag. The big-toe bag, which cover the base of the body-center side lateral face of the big toe includes a knitted portion of a knitted fabric is present.
