A footlet (1) is provided with a heel portion (2), a toe portion (6) and a middle portion (4) interposed between the heel portion and the toe portion. The middle portion comprises lateral sides extending between the heel portion and the toe portion on either side. The footlet is completely manufactured by reciprocating knitting. The heel portion is provided with a thread comprising an anti-slip agent, which thread is incorporated in the heel portion by knitting.

A footlet provided with a part manufactured on an apparatus for reciprocating knitting by knitting. The part comprises a ring-shaped opening limited by an edge and an elastic strip extending along the edge of the opening. The elastic strip comprises an elastic tape attached to the edge of the knitted part by an adhesive. During applying the elastic strip the knitted part of the ring-shaped opening is cut off at least partly along the edge so that a lateral side of the elastic strip almost coincides with a lateral side of the edge of the ring-shaped opening.
