For the first time, a knitted children's sock was found during excavations of an ancient Egyptian tomb, which is about five thousand years old. Nowadays, sock knitting technology has hardly changed. Use the softest yarn for knitting baby clothes. When choosing threads, rely on the gentle feeling of your hands.
It is necessary
- - yarn 70 g;
- - 5 spokes;
- - darning needle;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
Measure the volume of the child's leg at the ankle and multiply this number by 3. Let's say the volume is 12 cm, which means you need to dial 36 loops.
Step 2
Cast on 36 stitches on the knitting needles.
Step 3
Distribute the stitches evenly across 4 knitting needles (9 stitches per knitting needle). The fifth spoke is a working one.
Step 4
Knit for the bootleg in a clockwise direction in circular rows with an elastic band. The elastic can be knitted like this: front loop, purl loop, front loop, purl loop. In each circular row, knit the front loops with the front loops, and the purl ones with the wrong ones.
Step 5
Then set the stitches of the second and third knitting needles aside for the heel. Continue knitting on the loops of the first and fourth knitting needles.
Step 6
To do this, knit 14 rows with the front stitch, while in every second row, knit two loops together on both sides. Front surface - knit all loops with the front.
Step 7
Now cast on eight stitches from each side of the heel.
Step 8
After that, knit circular rows on all loops with the front stitch, while in every second circular row, knit two loops together on both sides of the heels three times. As a result, you should get 32 loops.
Step 9
With a foot length of 9 cm (measure from the middle of the heel), make the toe reductions as follows: continuously knit two loops together. The reduction of the loops must be done until the moment, until there is one loop left on each knitting needle.
Step 10
Cut the working thread, leaving 10 cm long.
Step 11
Thread the end of the thread into the darning needle. Thread the open loops with a needle and make a knot. Pull the thread tight.
Step 12
Carefully tuck the remaining ponytail into the inside of the sock.
