Disclosed herein is a hosiery garment for providing grip to a person's foot between the foot and the hosiery garment, and for simultaneously providing grip to the person's foot between the hosiery garment and the inside of a footwear. The hosiery garment comprises a foot enclosure configured to conform to the person's foot. The foot enclosure defines an inner surface and an outer surface. A first pair comprising a first tacky thread and a first supplementary thread defines the inner surface. A second pair comprising a second tacky thread and a second supplementary thread defines the outer surface. The inner surface defined by the first pair provides grip to the person's foot between the foot and the hosiery garment, and the outer surface defined by the second pair simultaneously provides grip to the person's foot between the hosiery garment and the inside of the footwear.

I claim: 1. A hosiery garment for providing grip to a foot of a person between said foot and said hosiery garment, and for simultaneously providing grip to the foot of said person between said hosiery garment and inside of a footwear, comprising: a foot enclosure, said foot enclosure being configured to conform to the foot of the person, said foot enclosure defining an inner surface and an outer surface, said inner surface being proximal to the foot of the person and distal to said footwear when the person is wearing said foot enclosure and the footwear, said outer surface being distal to the foot of the person and proximal to the footwear when the person is wearing said foot enclosure and the footwear; a first pair, said first pair comprising a first tacky thread and a first supplementary thread, said first pair defining said inner surface of said foot enclosure, wherein said first tacky thread is exposed on said inner surface of said foot enclosure, and wherein said first tacky thread is not exposed on said outer surface of said foot enclosure; and a second pair, said second pair comprising a second tacky thread and a second supplementary thread, said second pair defining said outer surface of said foot enclosure, wherein said second tacky thread is exposed on said outer surface of said foot enclosure, and wherein said second tacky thread is not exposed on said inner surface of said foot enclosure, and wherein said second pair is knitted with said first pair to define said foot enclosure; whereby said inner surface of the foot enclosure defined by said first pair provides grip to the foot of the person between said foot and said hosiery garment, and said outer surface of the foot enclosure defined by said second pair simultaneously provides grip to the foot of the person between the hosiery garment and said inside of the footwear. 2. The hosiery garment of claim 1, wherein said first tacky thread and said second tacky thread are made from tacky materials comprising synthetic rubber and natural latex. 3. The hosiery garment of claim 1, wherein the first supplementary thread and the second supplementary thread are selected from materials comprising cotton, nylon, Lycra, and wool. 4. A method of constructing a hosiery garment for providing grip to a foot of a person between said foot and said hosiery garment, and for simultaneously providing grip to the foot of said person between said hosiery garment and inside of a footwear, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of tacky threads and supplementary threads; creating a foot enclosure configured to conform to said foot of said person, said foot enclosure comprising an inner and an outer surface, wherein said step of creating said foot enclosure comprises the steps of: separating said tacky threads into a first tacky thread and a second tacky thread; winding said first tacky thread, said second tacky thread, a first supplementary thread, and a second supplementary thread onto a first spool, a second spool, a third spool, and a fourth spool respectively; grouping said first tacky thread and said first supplementary thread into a first pair; grouping said second tacky thread and said second supplementary thread into a second pair; and knitting said first pair with said second pair to form said foot enclosure, said first pair defining said inner surface of said foot enclosure, said second pair defining said outer surface of said foot enclosure, said first tacky thread of said first pair is exposed on said inner surface, and wherein said first tacky thread of said first pair is not exposed on said outer surface, said second tacky thread of said second pair is exposed on said outer surface, and wherein said second tacky thread of said second pair is not exposed on said inner surface; whereby said inner surface defined by said first pair provides grip to the foot of the person between said foot and said hosiery garment, and said outer surface defined by said second pair simultaneously provides grip to the foot of the person between the hosiery garment and said inside of the footwear. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of placing said first spool of the first tacky thread, said second spool of the second tacky thread, said third spool of the first supplementary thread, and said fourth spool of the second supplementary thread on a rack positioned on a knitting unit prior to creation of the inner surface and the outer surface. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of feeding the first tacky thread and the first supplementary thread from said first spool and said third spool respectively into a first finger tube. 7. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of feeding the second tacky thread and the second supplementary thread from said second spool and said fourth spool respectively into a second finger tube. 8. The method of claim 4, wherein the inner surface and the outer surface are created by performing the steps of: feeding the first tacky thread, the second tacky thread, the first supplementary thread, and the second supplementary thread into a first finger tube, a second finger tube, a third finger tube, and a fourth finger tube respectively; knitting the first supplementary thread retrieved from said third finger tube and the second supplementary thread retrieved from said fourth finger tube using a plating technique, wherein the first supplementary thread is exposed on the inner surface and the second supplementary thread is exposed on the outer surface; and knitting the first tacky thread retrieved from said first finger tube and the second tacky thread retrieved from said second finger tube using a plating technique, wherein the first tacky thread is exposed on the inner surface and the second tacky thread is exposed on the outer surface, wherein a first pair of the first tacky thread and the first supplementary thread define the inner surface, and a second pair of the second tacky thread and the second supplementary thread define the outer surface. 9. The method of claim 4, wherein the tacky threads are coated with one of silicon and talcum powder.
