Probably, knitting socks was invented veryimpatient or very economical needlewomen. So what? Knitting socks takes half the time, you can save half the yarn, and they perform their purpose no worse than socks. Even more than that - socks can become not only a simplified version of socks, but also soft slippers or an alternative to baby booties. And this item of home wardrobe has become very popular and in demand. Because knitting socks with knitting needles is very easy, you can do it quickly, and the result can satisfy the most demanding experts in the person of household members. Let's try?

Five knitting needles

These socks are knitted in the round. Кроме традиционно используемых в носочном вязании пяти спиц можно использовать и две спицы на леске. Если вы умеете вязать носки, то связать следки для вас — «плевое дело». Если же вы только осваиваете это рукоделие, то необходимо лишь знать, как вяжутся простые петли (лицевая и изнаночная) и как набрасываются дополнительные воздушные петли. После освоения этих азов носочного вязания попробуйте для начала связать небольшие следочки (для ребенка лет семи). Освоить принцип работы на модели небольшого размера легче, да и времени это займет значительно меньше. Начинаем вязать следок с задника (или пятки – это как вам больше нравиться). Для этого измеряем объем щиколотки и набираем нужное количество петель. Это количество можно рассчитать по заранее связанному образцу из той же пряжи, теми же спицами. Сколько петель помещается в одном сантиметре (ширина вязания), сколько рядов помещается в одном сантиметре (высота вязания). Для «тренировки» набираем на спицы тридцать шесть петель и вяжем чулочным вязанием высоту пятки. Вяжем его в виде прямого полотна на двух спицах – этакий прямоугольничек. Для детской ножки высота пятки (от щиколотки до пола) будет равняться примерно пяти сантиметрам. Для них вам понадобится связать от пятнадцати до двадцати рядов в зависимости от толщины пряжи. Далее приступаем к вывязыванию непосредственно пятки. Ее мы вяжем также на двух спицах. Делим количество петель на три: середина пятки и две «боковушки». В нашем случае получается три блока по двенадцать петель. А теперь вяжем так.

We send the first block of twelve loops and eleven loops of the second block.

The twelfth loop of the middle part (the second block) is tied together with the first loop of the second sidewall (the third block).

Turn knitting (on the left spoke there are eleven loops) and knit edge, ten loops and two together facing.

Turn knitting (on the left spoke there are ten loops) and knit again edge, ten loops and two together facing.

We knit so alternately reducing the loops of the two extreme blocks until only twelve loops of the middle of the heel (ten and two edge) remain on the spokes.

As a result, we get a ready heel of the future sock (a kind of cap for the heel). We continue knitting.

We select twelve air loops of the edge of the lateral part and we sew them with the facial ones (on the face side of the knitting).

We turn knitting, we knit all twenty-four loops with the purl and take another twelve air loops from the edge of the second lateral part of the heel.

We also send these twelve loops and, as a result, get the original number - thirty-six loops.

Remember that thirty six loops isquantity for the heel, which continues with the sole and sides of the sock? But it also has an upper part! So we cast on twelve more air loops for the upper part of the sock and close the knitting in a circle. After this, we start knitting in a circle on five knitting needles or by closing the knitting on two knitting needles with a fishing line. For a more open sock (before casting on air loops for the upper part and closing the knitting in a circle), you can knit a few more rows of straight stocking stitch. We knit the central part of the sock with a seamless “tube” the length of the foot to the beginning of the little toe. Next, we knit the toe, alternately decreasing the loops in any convenient way (as for socks or mittens). We knit the last four loops (one on each knitting needle) all together and secure with a knot. We hide the trimmed thread on the wrong side of the sock. Done! We knit the second sock exactly the same way. If circular knitting on five needles seems difficult to you, then use only two needles to knit the socks! Because knitting socks on two needles is also possible.

Two-spoke marks

We cast on fifty-six loops and knit from the beginningside parts of the socks with the upper part. For them, you need to knit fourteen rows, removing the first loop in each one and knitting the last one purlwise. All even rows are knitted with purl loops, and odd rows are knitted. In the center of each odd row (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) we make an increase: yarn over, two knit loops, yarn over. Thus, in the first row we knit twenty-seven knit loops, yarn over, two knit loops, yarn over, twenty-seven knit loops. In the second row - already twenty-eight, yarn over, two knit loops, yarn over, twenty-eight knit loops and so on. Knit the fifteenth row with knit loops without a central increase. The next row - purl loops. Knit the seventeenth row with knit loops, not reaching seven loops to the middle: leave fourteen central loops for the sole. Knit the sole. First row: remove the first loop (out of fourteen central ones), twelve front loops, two together (grab one from the side). Turn the knitting and knit the second row: remove one loop, twelve front loops, two together as in the first row. Continue knitting in this way, gradually “knitting” the side loops into the sole of the sock until only fourteen loops (in total) remain on the knitting needles. Next, knit the back to a height of sixteen rows and sew it to the side parts of the sock. Knit the second sock in the same way.

Useful tips and secrets

In order to keep a tight fit on the leg, the edges do not stretch, they can be tied with a crochet.

Heel trace will be more beautiful, if in the front rows decreasing make a flip.

In order to place holes in the place of new typed loops, they must be crossed with crossed facial ones.

Turn the trace from ordinary to extraordinary can be with the help of embroidery, applique of knitted flowers, pompoms, brushes and beads.

Experiment in general.Think, for example, how to knit socks from yarn of different colors, jacquard and relief patterns. And you will see that there is always and everywhere a place for creativity, even when knitting such prosaic (but so necessary!) socks. We recommend reading:
