Knitted socks are an irreplaceable thing for any child. They are warm and comfortable in the cold season.
For knitting, take woolen yarn and 5 knitting needles.
Cast on the knitting needles. The number must be a multiple of four. Distribute them on 4 knitting needles and knit with an elastic band (1x1). Work the stitches in a circle to the desired height. Next, knit the product with the front loops.
Then start knitting the heel. Add another woolen thread for strength when knitting. Slip the stitches from the third and second knitting needles onto one knitting needle. Continue knitting with knit stitches (front row with front loops and purl with purl stitches) to the desired height. Heel height for baby sock is about 3-4 cm.
Do not knit loops from the first and fourth knitting needles. Distribute the loops from one knitting needle, on which the heel is formed, to three knitting needles. The number of loops on each of them should be the same. If the number of loops is not a multiple of three, then add the extra loops to the middle part.
Start knitting from the outermost knitting needle. Then knit the middle section with knit stitch. Each time at the end of the row, knit the last loop of the middle knitting needle together with the first loop of the third outer knitting needle. When turning the product, do not knit the first loop from the second middle knitting needle, but simply remove it (this is an edge loop). Thus, the number of loops from the two outermost knitting needles will be gradually reduced.
Continue knitting until there are no stitches on the outer two needles. Draw new stitches around the edge of the heel. Then knit the sock in a circle with the knit to the little finger, and then cut the loops. Decrease the toe stitches on each of the four knitting needles. At the end of each row, knit two stitches together.
