Socks knitting scheme with description

If you want to please your near and dear ones with knitted socks, which I will warm them in the cold, reminding you of your love and care, our photo and video tutorials will help you understand this difficult task. We suggest you learn from scratch and consider in detail how to knit for adults (men and women) and children.

So, how to knit (for beginners step by step) socks using two, five and circular knitting needles.

If you learn the basics, in the future you will not be afraid of beautiful products with a jacquard pattern, unusual in the patchwork style, new models with braids, very cool with ornaments, etc.

5-knit socks

This technique involves knitting the product without a single seam. Socks knit in a spiral, as a result of which it is ideal to lie on a leg.

Socks on five knitting needles are knitted on top of the sock to the toe with a circular viscous, four knitting needles are looped, the fifth is working.

The number of loops is calculated based on the circumference of the leg. We take two measurements of the legs:

1st — lift circumference; measure the foot from the heel with a centimeter to climb on an inclined plane.

2nd — leg circumference; measured at the foot, in the thinnest spot of the leg, above the bone.

Then we determine the average circle: add the circumference of the lift and the circumference of the leg and divide the figure by 2. For example, the circumference of the lift is 31 cm, the circumference of the leg is 21 cm; we get 31 + 21 = 52, 52: 2 = 26 cm. For this number of centimeters and do the calculation of a set of loops. It is advisable to round the resulting number of loops to a number divisible by 4, so that it is convenient to knit on 4 knitting needles.

We collect the required number of loops, distribute them into 4 knitting needles and knit a circular viscous elastic. Usually the elastic is 5-6 cm, but you can knit even less - at will. Then we knit 7-8 cm with the front viscous to the heel. We knit the heel on two knitting needles from half of the loops, and the other half are left on unused knitting needles. On two knitting needles we knit a cloth of front viscous 5.5 - 6 cm, this is the height of the heel. Depending on the elevation of the leg, it may be smaller, but starting from the 35th leg size this is a constant value.

Then, to give the heel a shape, we do the descent of the heel: we divide all the loops into three parts. If there are extra loops, then we attach them to the central part (if the number of loops is not divided by 3). The loops of the central part will be knitted further, and the loops of the side parts (they will form the sides of the heel) will gradually be attached to the loops of the central part.

We begin the descent of the loops from the wrong side to finish it from the front. We knit two-thirds of the loops with the wrong ones, then 2 loops together - the last loop from the central part and the first loop from the third part - we knit them together with the wrong ones. After that, we turn the knitting and knit along the front of the heel, while at the turn, remove the first loop without knitting.

We knit with the front ones, we knit the last loop of the central part and the first loop of the first part together (remove the first loop, knit the second one with the front one, then throw the removed loop over to the knitted one). We turn the knitting again, remove the first loop without knitting, etc.

Continue knitting until all side loops are closed. Now we collect loops from the side of the heel, from each second row we collect 1 loop + 1 loop additionally, i.e. from 2 rows we collect 3 loops. We turn to circular knitting, take the stitches from the left knitting needles, the newly dialed stitches from the side parts of the heel and the stitches of the central part of the heel. We knit one row of front viscous. Then, in each 2nd circular row, for a better heel fit, we knit the 3rd and 2nd stitches from the end of the 1st knitting needle together with the front loop and the 2nd and 3rd stitches of the 4th knitting needle together with a broach.

Repeat the decrease until the initial number of loops (dialed to start knitting the product) is reached. Next, we knit the foot with a viscous circle in a circle to the bone of the thumb or to the end of the little finger. Then we knit a toe cap. We reduce the loops as follows: in each 2nd row, the 3rd and 2nd loops from the end of the 1st and 3rd knitting needles are knitted together with facial loops, and the 2nd and 3rd loops of the 2nd and 4th we knit the knitting needles together with a broach. When half the loops remain on the knitting needles, we perform such reductions in each circular row until 4 loops remain. We tighten them with a thread and fix.

Using two knitting needles (easiest way)

On five knitting needles you have already learned how to knit the simplest model, so go to knitting on 2 knitting needles (you can use circular knitting needles). The knitting of such a model allows you to make patterns of any complexity, but many are confused by the seam. But if you manage to finish joining the seams beautifully and correctly, the seam will be invisible visually and to the touch.

To start knitting, we calculate the number of loops based on the circumference of the leg.

For example, we take 48 loops, knit them + 2 hem (50 loops total) on 2 knitting needles, knit a straight cloth 5-6 cm with an elastic, then with front stitch or a selected pattern of 7-8 cm. We begin to knit the heel: the number of loops (without hem) divide into 4 parts, it turns out 12 loops. We will knit the heel on the two middle parts. We knit the front 12 + 12 + 12 loops (three parts), turn the work and knit 12 + 12 loops (two middle parts). Again, turn the work and knit 12 + 11 loops.

Again we turn the work and knit 11 + 11 loops, etc. That is, in each row we knit 1 loop less (we do shortened rows) until we have 8 loops left in work. Now we will begin to increase the number of working loops, in each row knitting a previously removed loop. So that there are no holes in knitting, we do this: we put on the left knitting needle a side loop, and we knit this worn loop and the next one together together. Those. the number of working loops will increase by 1.

Then we turn the knitting, remove the first loop, then 8 wrong seams, raise the side loop on the left knitting needle and knit together the wrong 2 stitches. And so on, until all the loops (12 + 12) are in operation.

Our knitting has this appearance. Next, we knit with the main pattern a straight fabric on all 48 + 2 edge loops, the length is approximately to the middle of the big toe.

Now start knitting a toe. Again, divide the loops into 4 parts - 12 + 12 + 12 + 12. We reduce the loops as follows: in each 2nd row, we knit the 3rd and 2nd loops from the end of the first and third parts together with the facial loops, and we knit the 2nd and 3rd loops of the second and fourth parts together with a broach. When half the loops remain on the knitting needles, we perform such reductions in each row until 6 loops remain.

We pull them together with a thread, sew the sock with the same thread. The seam is obtained on the top of the sock.
