Knitted socks on two and five needles - a detailed description of the knitting scheme

Knitting socks on 5 spokes

Many people are afraid that knitting with 5 needles will be difficult, but do not worry. Four tools are used to set the loops, and the fifth is a working tool. In this case, the finished product is seamless and will lie perfectly on the leg. Scheme of knitting circular, to start with the top toward the toe.

Let's get to work.

1. Measure your foot and leg. This will tell you how many loops you need to put on. You will get two measurements: from the heel to the instep and the second - the circumference of the leg over the protruding bone. Adding both measures and dividing in half, we will learn the average circumference of the foot. The same number will need to dial for the beginning of the work. For the convenience of knitting, the number can be rounded to divide by four, because the needles to dial 4. There are standard diagrams that show what number of loops you need for a particular leg size. But it is more reliable to make an individual calculation.
2. Dial the desired number of stitches.
3. Now distribute them in equal amounts between the four tools. Now proceed to knit an elastic band. Bind five or six cm, that's the standard length.
4. Next is seven to eight cm of knitting. Knit all the way to the heel. In knitting the heel is involved half of the dialed loops with 3 tools. The height of five and a half to six centimeters. The height will fit any size from 35.
5. Now the knitted part takes shape. A descent is made, the loops are divided into three equal fractions. If the number is not a multiple of 3, the remainder should simply be added to the center needle. Knit the center, gradually adding to it the edge pieces, which will form the sides.
6. Start descending the loops. Continue this on the front, and start on the back. 2/3 of them will be knit on the wrong side, then come two stitches - the last from the center and the first from the next part - which are knit on the wrong side at once. Turn over the knitted cloth and remove the stitch, the work goes to the right side. Finally, the last stitch from the center piece and the stitch from the next first piece together. The method is called broach.
7. Similarly, turn the piece, leaving the starting stitch without the stitching.
8. Repeat the algorithm according to the above description. Actions are carried out by the front loops. Side stitches are closed as a result.
9. Loops from the side pieces, take one from an even knitting row and one extra. This will make three stitches.
10. The knitting goes in a circle again. Go with the front loops from the unused spokes plus from the side and from the center.
11. The sock will fit better on the heel if the even row is knitted as instructed: 3 and 2 loops from the end of knitting needle #1 are knitted together, 2 and 3 loops from knitting needle #4 are knitted with a stretch.
12. The abatement takes place until the loops are the same amount as at the beginning.
13. Now knit foot. Its length will be different for each, the calculation goes to the big toe.
14. The foot is over, the toe has begun. Stitches are now reduced: in every even-numbered row of loops 2 and 3 from the end of spokes 1 and 3 are knitted together. The knitting is front to back. From needles #2 and 4 stitches in the same order, knit with a stretch.
15. The tools have half of the stitches left, you can now add in each row in a circle. This leaves four stitches.
16. Knit stitches

Master class on making socks on 5 spokes you have mastered. The description does not use a photo, but the scheme is quite clear. It can be overpowering even for beginners. For knitting, you can take any color and thickness of the yarn. Usually when knitting socks used the following yarn:

• Wool - its properties are warm, but can quickly rub off on the heel
• Half wool - softer than wool, the yarn is not as coarse
• With the addition of down or angora - have durability. Products are durable and warm
• "Wooden" - in the additive is a synthetic yarn. The toe and heel are less likely to wear out.

If you have a good hand and mastered knitting with five spokes, knit warm socks beautifully and quickly, try knitting on two spokes. Use circular needles. The final sock will have a stitch. Knitting allows you to use different patterns, so the final version comes out more interesting and attractive. Don't worry about the fact that the seam may be visible. With proper finishing, the seam will not be conspicuous.

Socks on two spokes

1. For the right number of loops, you will again need the circumference of your foot.
2. Type in the stitches plus add 2 stitches. Next, tie a rubber band of five to six centimeters.
3. The elastic is followed by seven to eight centimeters of front loops. If you have the necessary skills, try tying the pattern instead of the ironing
4. The loops for the heel this time divide into four. Take the 2 middle pieces, this is the base of the heel. Knit 3 shares of the front, turn the product and knit 2 middle parts. Again turn and knit both parts, as usual in an even row, leave the initial loop uncrossed.
5. Continue knitting, shortening the row by one stitch. The rows are shortened, leaving a total of eight stitches. Increase the number of working loops by tying the previously removed stitch. Repeat each row.
6. There will be no holes if you put a loop from the side of the left needle through the left needle and knit with the next left stitch. Working stitches will increase by an extra one stitch.
7. The knitting is turned. Remove the stitch and knit the next eight stitches to the wrong side. Similarly, knit a side stitch together with the next one, now in the wrong side.
8. Continue knitting until all work stitches are in.
9. Knit all the way to the big toe.
10. In the toe, the loops are divided into four parts, the elimination in the even row goes on the joint stitching of the loops 3 and 2 from the end of the odd spokes, in the even parts of the same loops knit by the stretch. As with knitting on 5 spokes, the algorithm is carried out until half of the loops remain on the spokes. The next time you do this, there will be no more skipping in each new row.
11. Apply the skip until there are six loops left. Tighten the circle without cutting the thread. Use the same thread to knit the sock. The seam will go on top of the product.

Now you know how to knit sock products. Choose your favorite way and practice. You can start with the easiest, then diversify the products through patterns or use multiple colors.

Sock products there are a great many: these are and socks, and booties for babies, and socks with patterns and products with tracery. Give socks to family and friends - this is one of the best gifts in the cold season. If you want, you can even sell the finished products. Handmade is very much appreciated these days.
