Store-bought tights are usually made from synthetics. In addition, they are not durable and wear out rather quickly. Warm and soft woolen tights can be knitted by hand. To do this, it is enough to have basic knitting skills (be able to knit front and back loops, make decreases and knit on stocking needles).
It is necessary
- - 300 g of yarn;
- - straight needles number 2;
- - a set of knitting needles No. 2.
Instructions
Step 1
Any woolen yarn is suitable for knitting tights, the only condition is that it should be thin, about 1600 m in one hundred grams.
Step 2
Pre-tie a sample, the optimal density of which is 26 loops by 42 rows in a 10x10 cm sample. If the number of loops in your sample is different, then take knitting needles of a larger or smaller diameter or make a calculation according to your measurements.
Step 3
For knitting tights for children 4-5 years old, cast on 75 loops. Work 5 cm with a regular 1x1 or 2x2 elastic.
Step 4
Next, knit in loose rows with the main pattern. To do this, knit 50 loops (do not knit the rest of the loops), unfold the knitting and knit the purl row according to the pattern. Then knit according to the picture 5 cm.
Step 5
Knit 55 stitches, turn knit and purl according to the pattern. Next, knit 5 cm straight again. In the next row, knit 60 loops without knitting 15, and turn the knitting. Knit 3 cm straight and begin to make decreases between the legs as follows.
Step 6
Decrease 2 sts at the beginning and end of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th rows, and then knit 5 cm straight. Next, reduce 6 loops evenly across the entire fabric, knit another 5 cm and in the next row, subtract 6 more loops. Now knit straight to the desired length of the ankle-length pantyhose.
Step 7
Now go to knitting with knitting needles. Close the loops in a circle and knit like a regular sock.
Step 8
First, knit the heel on two needles. Knit about 10 rows with the front stitch, then divide the entire number of loops on 2 needles into 3 parts and knit, knitting the last loop of the middle part and the first - third part together. Do this until only the middle section is left on the needle.
Step 9
Next, cast on the edges of the heel loops and knit with the front stitch in a circle to the little finger. You can knit the upper part according to the pattern, and the lower front stitch.
Step 10
Decrease the loops to form the toe. Divide them into two parts (top and bottom). Knit one stitch with the front one, remove one loop, knit the next one with the front one and pull the removed one through it. At the end of the row, knit 2 together and knit one. Knit the second part in the same way. Knit in a similar manner until 4-6 stitches remain on the needles. Pull these loops, cut the thread and hide it inside the sock with a crochet hook.
Step 11
Tie a second symmetrical piece. To make the tights more durable and comfortable to wear, tie a gusset - a small square 5x5 cm. Sew the trousers, sew in the gusset. Insert the elastic band into the hollow elastic. The tights are ready.
