When mastering the technique of this kind of needlework, likeknitting, sooner or later will come the desire to create not only sweaters, hats or scarves, but also other items. That is why it's worth to get acquainted with the technique of how to knit a sock with knitting needles.
The legacy
Twenty years ago almost every womancould quickly and clearly tell how to knit a sock with knitting needles. Indeed, there is nothing complicated about this, except, maybe, that it was necessary to do this not on two familiar spokes, but with the help of five at a time.
The process itself can be conditionally divided into threestage, the first of which is the choice of material and tools. The material is yarn. When choosing it, you should pay attention to the fact that pure wool will prick naked skin, and therefore it is better to choose that skein, in which there is a partial addition of acrylic. The number of stocking knitting needles (their five, pointed at both ends) must match the indication on the accompanying document to the yarn. But, as a rule, socks are knitted on a set labeled 3,5-4.
The second stage is the measurement. To do this, you need to determine the length of the foot, the height of the heel, the coverage of the foot at the height of the proposed gum and the length from the heel to the little finger.
The third stage is the creation itself.
A fascinating process
How to start knitting socks with knitting needles?Of course, with a set of loops. To do this, the usual way is typed the number of loops, which corresponds to the coverage of the foot. To define it simply: foot coverage / 10 * - the number of loops for 10 cm (from the point of the document to the yarn). It should be borne in mind that it should be divisible by 4 without any rest. If it does not work out, then the missing quantity is added to the expected quantity. After which it is evenly distributed on four spokes.
Many beginner needlewomen are surprised whenhear the phrase "We knit socks on 5 spokes," but this is really so. The fifth spoke is working. Once the loops are distributed, you should start to knit the gum. To do this, on each spoke, one face loop, one purl, should be tied. It must also be taken into account that the spoke released from the loops becomes working.
Having guttered the height of the elastic, you should proceed toheel formation. To do this, all the loops from the two spokes are tied and transferred to the working face by the front surface, and the remaining two remain at rest. Once the required length is tied, one should mentally divide all the loops into four segments. Then tie ¾ of them, while the last one is connected to the first of the remaining quarter. Turn over the work and repeat the same procedure, only on the other side. And so in every row. Work on the formation of the heel ends when the number of loops remains on the spoke, which is characteristic for each of the remaining spokes.
The next stage of how to knit a sock with knitting needles -this is the formation of the ascent. To do this, from each side of the heel raise an equal number of loops, and then distribute them equally on two spokes. Next, you should tie one row of all the loops on four spokes with the front face.
In the second row at the end of the first knitting needletogether 2 and 3 loops from the end, then, without changing the number of loops, form a continuation on the second and third spokes (those that did not participate in the formation of the heel). On the fourth, again loop the 2 and 3 loop together, but now at first. The third row is performed by a simple facial surface. This order must be repeated until all four spokes have the same number of loops. After that, you should knit in the usual way to the toe.
The toe is formed by a similar lifting method.For this, after reaching the length to the little finger at the first and third at the end and at the second and fourth first in the first row, the 2nd and 3rd loops are tied together. The next row is knitted unchanged. This should be done until one loop is left on the spokes. They are closed in the usual way.
Here such simple method it is possible to master the process of how to knit a sock with knitting needles.
