How to knit socks with knitting needles: schemes, photos and videos are attached

If on the eve of the cold weather you decided to knit socks with knitting needles, this is a commendable solution. Socks connected with love with their own hands will warm the whole family with their warmth, even in the worst frost.

If you do not yet have experience in knitting, then in this article you will find a detailed description of how to knit socks with knitting needles. Choose yarn, stock up with knitting needles and patience. First of all, you must calculate the loops.

Measure the circumference of the leg near the stone and lifting the leg, fold the resulting numbers and divide it in half.

Now determine the density by tying a small piece of 10x5 cm with a centimeter tape, which you measured the leg, you need to measure how many loops are obtained in 1 cm of knitting. The result must be multiplied by the leg circumference. Write down or remember the result.

Set of loops

Now for a pair of knitting need to dial a multiple of 4 spokes number of loops. The 5th spoke will be working. If your calculation of the loops is not divisible by 4, then increase the loops to the larger side.

We knit an elastic band

After tying the loops on the knitting needles, start knitting the elastic, depending on the density of the yarn 1x1 or 2x2, while simultaneously distributing the equally knit loops between the 4 spokes. After finishing the first row, fold the spokes square and connect the first and last loop of the row. Having closed knitting in a circle, it is necessary to knit an elastic band of the necessary length.

The length of the elastic band can be absolutely anyone who likes it. If in doubt, you can try on a sock to a similar finished product or to your foot.

Knitting of the shaft

Having knitted the elastic of the sock, proceed to the boot. Usually for him used a dress code type of knitting. We knit the bootleg before lifting the leg.

Knitting Heel

Perhaps the most difficult stage for beginners knitting knitted needles is knitting. In fact, there is nothing complicated here.

We continue knitting only on two spokes next to each other. The rest of the needles while we leave. As you knit, try on the sock, you need to continue knitting until the extreme row touches the base of the foot on the back of the foot.

Now we divide the connected part by 3, if it is impossible to split exactly, then add "extra" loops to the middle part.

Continuing to knit a heel, start from the wrong side. Having pierced the loops of the first side part and all the loops of the middle part, except the extreme, it must be tied together with the first loop of the second side panel. The rest of the loops are not tied. We turn our "workpiece" and remove the loop, carefully tightening it. Repeat the process, grabbing the middle loop and the first loop of the first loop of the second part. Rows after a double loop are not tied, but we turn knitting, removing the edge loops. When all the loops of the side parts are reduced - the heel is ready!

If you have difficulties, then you can see in detail the knitting of socks with the spokes of the video.

Knitting of the ascent of the foot

We count the loops on the heel of the needle, divide into two spokes, and, if there are less of them than before the beginning of knitting, then we collect the loops at the sides. Continue to knit in a circle on four spokes garter stitch.

Knitting the toe and loosening the loops

If you feel that the length of the sock is sufficient, try it on the foot or the finished product of the right size.

Having tied the base of the little finger to the base, it is necessary to start decreasing the loops as follows:

• First, tie the first two loops of the first knitting needle to the back of the first knitting needle, the rest knit as usual.
• On the second knitting needle, we leave the two extreme loops in order to tie them to one face behind the front wall.
• The same is repeated for the 3rd and 4th knitting needles, with the exception that on the 3rd knitting we sew the first two loops to the front, and on the 4th spoke 2 the last ones are sewed onto the back wall.
• Continue until one loop is left on each spoke, they need to be knotted together and tightened tightly by hiding the tip of the thread from the wrong side of the sock.

Now you can try to make open-work socks knitted with knitting needles which are shown below.
