Knitting is not only interesting and exciting, but also useful. Hand-knitted socks are very warm and practical. In order to knit the heel of a sock, you need to know the basic principles of knitting socks.
It is necessary
- knitting needles;
- main woolen thread;
- needlework skills.
Instructions
Step 1
Socks always start knitting with an elastic band. On five knitting needles, dial the required number of loops. Knitting with five needles is called tubular or circular. The number of loops should be equal to the desired leg size. To take the size, you need to measure the ankle and multiply the result by three. The number of loops should always be divisible by four.
Step 2
Tying an elastic band, form a heel. To do this, divide the knitting into 4 parts. Loops of the 3rd and 4th knitting needles will not be involved when knitting the heel. For convenience, tie everything on one knitting needle. The next step is knitting a straight fabric. You need to knit with hosiery. This will be the heel height.
Step 3
The number of hem loops is equal to the number on one needle. Start shaping your heel. Decrease loops inside.
Step 4
Divide the loops into 3 parts, if more, add to the middle part. Tie the side loops (wrong side), then the middle one, decreasing one loop at a time.
Step 5
Knit the last loops (wrong side) together with the loop of the other side.
Step 6
The edge loop must be removed and pulled up to the spoke. Next, tie all the loops of the middle part.
Step 7
Knit together with the first side and so repeat all rows to the end. Everything should end on knitting the front row. At the end, only the middle row loops will remain.
Step 8
Next, they begin to knit the length of the sock. The sock is ready.
