Knitting of socks is quite an interesting and painstaking activity. With such a product you can please your loved ones. Warm socks are an especially invaluable gift during the cold season.
It is necessary
- - a set of knitting needles (set of five knitting needles);
- - yarn.
Instructions
Step 1
Before knitting socks, you need to correctly count the number of loops. Find out the volume of the leg near the ankle. Take a sample and calculate the knitting density. It is best to round the number of loops up to an even number so that it is divisible by four. Tie the upper part of the sock with an elastic band (1x1 or 2x2). Distribute the stitches over four knitting needles. Knit in a circle an elastic band of the required height, knit yarns from the extreme knitting needle, on which there are no ends of the thread. Continue to do the stocking work in a circle. The loops are formed only from one front side, so they should be knitted with the front ones in all rows.
Step 2
Start shaping your heel. When knitting, you can add a second darning thread to the wool yarn. Distribute the loops from the third and second knitting needles to one. Knit with a simple linen front row - front loops, purl - purl. Do not knit yarn overs from the first and fourth knitting needles. The height of the heel of a child's sock is 3 cm, an adult's - 5 cm.
Step 3
Then divide the loops from the forming heel into three equal parts and collect on the needles. If the number of yarns is not a multiple of three, then add the remainder to the middle part. Knit loops from one end needle. Then knit only the middle part with the stocking stitch. On both sides at the end of the row, grab the last loop of the middle part together with the first yarn of the extreme knitting needle. When turning the work, remove the first middle loop as an edge loop. Form the fabric until there are no loops on the outer needles.
Step 4
Cast on stitches around the hem of the crochet heel. If there are more loops dialed than cut before, then subtract the extra ones. Do this only from the heel side. On the second knitting needle, knit two loops together with the front one. Then shape the sock in a circle with a stocking knit to the base of your big toe. Decrease the loops on the product on each knitting needle. At the end of the row, knit two stitches together.
