Men's knitted needles: knitting patterns and video lessons

In the cold season, warm knitted socks will come in handy for any man, and everyone will be glad to such a present from his beloved wife or mother. There are many different ways to tie men's socks with the spokes of some of the schemes shown below.

This is a pattern of the "braid" pattern, very common for knitting socks for men.

If you really want to make your man such a gift, but as yet there is no experience in knitting, let's figure it out in technique. For starters we will need to buy knitting needles -5 pieces, yarn about 400 grams, it's better if it's a yarn "foot-wearer", it's more wear-resistant. So, let's get started.

• First, connect a small rectangle of 10 rows of 10 loops. This is your workpiece to calculate the right amount of sock loops. Calculate the density by dividing the length of the workpiece by the number of loops. If you find that you need to collect a total of 54 loops, then add a couple more so that the number of loops is a multiple of the 4 spokes on which you will knit a sock.

• Type the loops into two spokes and, tying the first row, close the knitting, distributing the total number to 4 spokes and forming a square.
• The first rows need to be knitted with an elastic band, tight and long, so that the ready toe can tightly clasp your leg and not crawl when walking. To connect the elastic band, you need to alternate the loops - one purl, one obverse. You can alternate two identical loops.
• If you have already mastered the knitting of men's socks with knitting needles, then you can try to tie the socks with a pattern according to the scheme:

The feature of men's socks can be bright strips. They can be made by tying one or more rows of yarns of a different color. After practicing and calculating the number of loops, you can associate socks with a chess pattern, alternating squares with different colors.

Umelitsy can please their men with Scandinavian ornaments with snowflakes or deer. It is necessary to adhere exactly to the alternating pattern of colored threads, so that the pattern does not go astray. Knit ornament can only be on the elastic band or under it, where smooth, garter stitching begins. When you reach the base of the foot, the pattern is completed and we begin to untie the heel.

The needlewomen who first became interested in the question of how to knit with men's socks might think that this is too complicated part of making a gift. It's not entirely true, or rather, it's not at all! We'll deal with technology.

• Knit a heel need to continue with only two spokes, the other two while leaving.
• We distribute the "working" loops for three spokes. Most of the loops should remain in the middle part.
• We knit only the middle part, when we reach the extreme loop of the middle part in each side - we tie it with the near loop of the extreme part. Thus, at the two extreme spokes, a decrease occurs.
• When the heel is already knotted enough( in order to be sure, you can try it on an already prepared toe), you need to dial from its two sides air loops. Exactly as much as it was at the beginning of knitting.

The heel is ready, you need to continue knitting with a smooth knit, you can continue to knit strips or chess. Knit should be before the little finger starts, then start to loosen the loops. If you did not have a ready-made sock at hand, calculate the approximate length of the foot. For example, if you knit a sock of 42 sizes, then the length should be 27-29 cm, note that the sock will sit down a little during the first wash.

Now loosen the loops. To do this, we sew the two extreme loops together, on each of the 4 spokes. The last 4 loops are tied and tightened. Fasten the thread securely from the wrong side.
