This application provides a sewing method for an integrated sewn-on sock liner. The sock liner is knitted using a half-stitch technique and includes a main body, a small inner liner, a ribbing unit, and a sewing unit. The ribbing unit is connected to the sewing unit. The bottom edge of the small inner liner is sewn to the main body via the sewing unit. The steps include first attaching half-stitches, then knitting in the order of cast-on, small inner liner, ribbing unit, and heel, and finally undoing the half-stitches. Unlike existing technologies, this technical solution changes the position of the sewing unit, extending it along the ribbing unit and towards the bottom edge of the inner liner unit. This allows the inner liner unit to be integrally sewn to the sock liner body, eliminating the need for heat treatment to melt hot melt wire for bonding or other bonding methods. This significantly reduces the cost of manpower and material resources and improves the stability of the connection between the inner liner unit and the sock liner body.
