The welt of the sock is the top of the sock, more commonly known as the cuff. The cuff gives the sock a nice, finished look and also keeps the threads from unraveling. It's also typically ribbed so that the sock will fit more securely to your leg.
The welt is very important because it is the starting point of the sock and provides an edge that will not ravel. It is important to fit, and it may be seen, depending on the sock design. If the welt is a single jersey base, a dial is mounted concentrically with the cylinder and rotates with it. The dial contains transfer points or jacks that engage the beginning courses of the sock and hold them until sufficient fabric for the welt has been knitted, whereupon the transfer points return the fabric to the needles.
