The ability to crochet more than compensatesadvantages of other techniques. With a minimum stock of skills, you can even crochet socks. The scheme of the main pattern can be continuous or openwork, and the choice of yarn is determined only by the personal preferences of the craftswoman.
Crochet Socks
Given the huge popularity of alternativeways of making socks, you should not be surprised at their diversity. Not wanting to waste time wielding five uncomfortable knitting needles, many knitters developed their own methods of how to crochet socks. Schemes in most cases are absent, as a more eloquent instruction is a verbal description.
By combining existing options for making socks, there are several main types:
- Simplified.
- With a heel.
- From the individual motives.
The list does not include numerous waysmanufacturing slippers, as they are often built on tying up a rigid sole (and this is a completely different type of product). The exception is if you crochet socks and slippers (you can choose any scheme for their canvas). They are designed on the basis of a simplified type of socks and do not include a sole.
The simplest crochet socks: schemes, description, photo
In contrast to similar products connected with knitting needles, such socks begin with the tip.
- Four air loops (VP) are enclosed in a ring and knitted in circular rows, extending each row by five loops.
This method of expansion allows you to getthe optimal form of the toes sock. It should be semicircular, but not too wide (as when expanding by six loops). Additions should be made in a staggered manner, making sure that they are at different levels in each row. Otherwise, you will get a pentagon with sharp edges.
When the width of the canvas will be equal to the volume of the foot, the addition should be stopped and then knit evenly.
2. Thus, it is necessary to increase the canvas until it is equal in height to the length of the foot from the tips of the fingers to the rise.
Next, knitting is continued partially.The upper part of the sock is left and only work from the bottom. The return rows form a rectangle equal in height to the length of the foot from the rise to the edge of the heel. The part is ready, the thread is cut off and the side seam is performed. In the manufacture of slippers, the work will be completed after knitting several rows of strapping. But the photos below depict just such an option.
3. If it is necessary to make socks, then the work should be continued.
Instead of tying the top edge, they knit so muchRows, how many it is necessary for obtaining pagolenka. To decorate this part you can use any patterns. It looks very attractive if you crochet socks with patterns of openwork ornaments. The pattern shown in the following photo will work well.
The scheme to it, located below, is not particularly difficult. Even the most skilled craftswoman will be able to cope with it.
Dressing slippers
Wide field for creativity and manifestation of fantasyCraftswomen are decorative slippers and socks. Crochet for children (schemes of applications can be any) can be linked very interesting products.
They are decorated with a variety of handicrafts: from amusing muzzles to bouquets of knitted flowers and bows.
Many accessories stores sell a large number of various embroidered and adhesive parts that complement the composition. These are eyes, beads, sequins and much more.
Socks with heel
The following method of making socks usingThe hook is based on imitation of the appearance of knitted items. Due to the specific technology, the heel of such models is better suited to the anatomical structure of the human foot. If you tie such crochet socks (schemes of openwork patterns here will be very appropriate), they can serve as a wonderful gift to a loved one.
Start knitting can be the same as inprevious model (ring VP) or consist in circular knitting around the chain VP. In the latter case, the expansion of the web is performed at the edges of the chain (two loops on each side). Expansion stops when the web becomes equal in width to the circumference of the foot. Next, knit exactly.
Formation of heel details
Having tied the heels to the beginning, they continue to build up only the bottom of the sock. It is necessary to form a square canvas and proceed to the formation of a voluminous heel.
Conditionally dividing the square loops into three, you needknit back rows only the second third. At the beginning and at the end of each short row should pick up one of the neprovyazannyh loops of the square. That is, when working on the second third, you should gradually connect its edges with the loops of the first and third thirds.
The finished detail of the heel is very similar to the similar element of the sock, knitted with needles.
At the last stage, on the upper edge of the toe, knit pagolenok or several rows of strapping (if we are talking about slippers).
Socks of motives
When used separately connected and thenstitched fragments, you can also get crocheted socks (it is advisable to choose the schemes of motives not very openwork). The shape and location of the elements may be different. The most popular are square, triangular and semicircular, since their comparison is most convenient for the formation of socks. However, other forms or combinations of several different motifs are used.
Traditional methods are used to join the fragments: fastening at several points in the process of knitting the last row, as well as stitching with a needle or hook.
The greatest number of difficulties is associated with the use of the first method, because to correct an error, it is necessary to dress the entire last row.
Stitching the needle allows you to achieve high strength socks. At the same time, the use of a hook for connecting fragments provides an opportunity for the use of three-dimensional decorative seams.
