How to knit baby socks? Beautiful baby socks can be obtained thanks to one of the knitting patterns for adults. It should only be borne in mind that the number of loops must be significantly reduced. It is very easy to calculate, and to link too! Therefore, even a beginner knitter can handle the task of knitting socks for a child.

How to knit baby socks? Required materials and tools

3. Knit with an elastic band 1 x 1 about 3 cm to get the top of the sock. Then we go to the hosiery knitting and so we knit 4 cm to the heel.

4. We turn to knitting a child's heel. To do this, two knitting needles will have 8 loops, and on the third knitting needle we define 16 loops. It is this side that we knit 3 cm and then lower the heel.

5. To complete this simple task, knit 10 loops with the front, and knit 11 and 12 together. We turn the blank of the sock. Purl 5 stitches, and 6 and 7 stitches together. So create a heel for the baby sock until there are 6 loops left.

6. The heel for the baby sock is ready. Therefore, you can proceed to the formation of the rise. We collect on two knitting needles, 5 edging each. This number of loops will be enough for a baby 1.5-2 years old. However, if the child has a large rise, then the number of loops can be increased without problems.

Distribute the resulting loops on four knitting needles. We knit up to the little finger in a circle with a stocking knit, and then to reduce the number of loops we knit a pair of loops together, located at the end of each knitting needle. We make a smooth descent and pull the last 4 loops through the thread. We fix it.

7. So the first sock for the baby is ready.

It remains only to repeat all stages from the first to the sixth, so that the child can put warm and soft socks on his legs. That's all, baby socks are ready. The socks can be decorated with a thin satin ribbon, which will look harmonious in color with the threads in the socks.

Content

In chilly weather, knitted woolen socks will help warm your feet. You can make such a product yourself, having only two knitting needles at hand. There are several techniques for knitting such socks: with a seam, without stitching, from the toe. Each technique has its own distinctive features.

Necessary materials

Before starting work, prepare the necessary materials:

• Knitting needles. Select the number (thickness in mm) in accordance with the recommendations indicated on the packaging with the yarn.
• Knitting. Acrylic or wool blend yarn is ideal for creating socks. It is more durable, warmer and holds its shape well.
• Knitting pattern, pen and paper for notes.
• Pin, markers.
• Hook for lifting air loops from work.

How to knit socks on two needles

There are many options for knitting socks with two knitting needles: with a seam, without a seam, from a toe, with a pattern, on circular knitting needles. They all have their own scheme of work, but before you start knitting, you need to take measurements and calculate the number of loops. Armed with a measuring tape, take the following measurements:

• foot circumference;
• sole length.

Write down your results on paper. From yarn, knit a sample of 20-30 loops (the more, the more accurate the calculation). Calculate the knitting density. To do this, divide the number of loops in the sample by its width in cm. The resulting number will be the knitting density, write it down. Measure the sample after washing and drying it. some yarns tend to shrink or stretch after WTO (wet heat treatment).

Seamless

To calculate the number of starting loops for your size, multiply the girth of the foot in a wide area by the knitting density and divide by two. It is necessary to divide by 2, because according to this method, the back half of the sock is knitted to the toe, then the second half, clinging to the edge of the finished part along the edges. Socks on 2 needles without a seam are knitted according to the following pattern:

1. Tying the cuff.
2. Heel shaping.
3. Tying a trace.
4. Formation of the toe.

1. Cast on the needles the initial number of stitches.
2. Tie a half cuff of the desired width with any elastic band.
3. The knitting edge should be a straight edge (pigtail). To do this, always remove the first loop without knitting, and make the last one purl (PI). This is necessary in order to get a neat connection in the future.

The next stage of work - the most difficult for beginners - is the formation of the heel:

1. Calculate the heel height using the following scheme: number of rows = number of stitches on the needle minus 2 (if the number is even) or minus 3 (if the number is odd).
2. Knit all rows of the heel with the front stitch.
3. In the last row, start shaping the heel. To do this, divide all the loops into 3 parts. If the remainder is 1 p. Attach it to the middle part, if 2 - 1 to each of the side parts.
4. Mark the number of middle buttonholes with markers.
5. Knit the side part with the front stitch without changes.
6. Tie the first loops of the middle part with the front ones, and connect the last one together with the adjacent loop from the second side part.
7. Flip the work inside out. Remove the first loop not tied. Repeat the action from point 9, tying out the PI.
8. Continue attaching the side loops to the middle section (one at a time) until the original number of middle button loops remains.

There will be no complicated tricks in knitting a half part of the track - it is knitted with a straight cloth to the desired length:

1. To knit in the first row, lift the stitches from the hem on one side of the mid heel all the way to the elastic. Twist knitting.
2. Knit all the loops on the knitting needle with purl, if it is a purl row. Raise the stitches on the other side of the mid heel from the hem.
3. In every second row along the edges, knit 2 stitches together with the front one with a tilt to the left (if the front rows) or 2 together with the purl (if the rows are purl).
4. At the end of the work, the initially dialed number of loops should remain.
5. To calculate the length of the midfoot, measure the length of the heel cup and the foot - they should be the same. Multiply the heel cup by 2. Subtract the resulting number from the total length of the foot.
6. Knit the resulting number in cm in front satin stitch.

It is important to make smooth bevels for the toe. Decrease in every second row before and after the hem, until 1/3 of the stitches of the initial set remain on the needles. Then work goes in the direction from the toe to the cuff, knitting the upper half of the sock:

1. Just as you cut the toe in every second row, start adding loops along the edges of the broaches. To avoid holes at the place of the increase, knit a broach, having previously twisted it once.
2. Simultaneously with the increments, make the connection of the canvases by pulling a new loop from one slice of the finished edge band.
3. Keep track of the number of loops. Add loops until you have the same number of loops in work as for knitting a sock.
4. Knit the upper part of the sock in the same way - in a straight line, connecting the fabrics along the edge.
5. Make sure that the number of loops is not added. To ensure that the number of loops always remains calculated, at the end of each row, connect 2 stitches together.
6. In the section with elastic, grab the edge by the wall facing the front side, knit it together with the last loop of the row.
7. Knit the first loop of each row so that the elastic pattern continues.
8. The second sock is knitted in the same way.

Double-knit socks with seam

To calculate the number of loops, measure the circumference of the instep (from the heel to the oblique to the instep) and the ankle at the bone (in the thinnest place). Add the resulting numbers and divide by two. The resulting number is the number of centimeters for which you need to calculate the loops according to the knitting pattern. In the example, socks on two needles with a seam are knitted from 50 loops (48 main + 2 hem):

1. Tie an elastic band 2 * 2 5–6 cm long.
2. Then go to the front surface and knit 7-8 cm.
3. For the heel, divide the number of loops (excluding hem) into 4 parts. It will turn out exactly 12 points. The heel will be formed on the two middle parts.
4. Knit three parts (48 stitches) with the front stitch, turn the work.
5. Knit 24 sts (middle two), turn work over.
6. Work short rows by knitting 12 and 11 (10, 9, 8) sts in each next row until only 8 sts are left in the work.
7. Start increasing the number of loops by knitting the loop you left earlier in each row.
8. To avoid holes, put a side loop on the left knitting needle and knit it together with the next front loop (LP).
9. Twist knitting. Remove the first tab.
10. Then purl 8. Lift up the side buttonhole and knit with the other side buttonhole.
11. Continue until all loops are in place.
12. Next, knit with the front stitch until the length of the toe reaches the middle of the big toe.
13. For the toe, divide the knitting into 4 parts (12 + 12 + 12 + 12).
14. Start making the deductions. In each even row of 3 and 2 loops from the end of the first and third parts, knit the PL together.
15. Knit 2 and 3 loops of the second and fourth parts together with a broach.
16. When only half of the loops remain, make such reductions in each row until there are only 6 sts in the work.
17. Pull them off with a thread, sew the product

Knitting from a toe

A somewhat unusual method is suitable for those needlewomen who have a limited number of threads for work, so that the length of the cuff can be adjusted in accordance with the remaining yarn. The calculation of loops is done in the same way as described above. Socks are knitted with two knitting needles from the toe like this:

1. Cast on a knitting needle half of the required number of loops, adding extra slippery thread to the main yarn.
2. The first row - all front loops (LP), the last loop - purl (PI).
3. The second row - all purl, do not knit the last one. Turn the job over.
4. Continue knitting in partial rows until 1/4 to 1/3 of all stitches are left on each side of the knitting needles.
5. In each subsequent row, knit all the loops left, in front of them lifting a broach from the previous row.
6. After lifting, you will get a toe.
7. Remove the extra thread. On two knitting needles, you get the right number of loops.
8. Transfer the loops from two knitting needles to one, simultaneously knitting them like this: 1 p. From the front knitting needle, knit the LP, remove the loop from the back knitting needle without knitting.
9. Purl the very last loop.
10. At the next stage, remove the first loop, knit the loops of the front fabric on the PL, and the back fabric - remove without knitting. The last loop in the work is the wrong one.
11. Continue knitting the entire length of the foot, minus the length of the heel. At the stage of knitting the foot, you need to be extremely careful and not get confused where to knit the loop, and where it needs to be removed not knitted, otherwise the two halves of the sock will connect at the place of the error, it will become unusable. You should end up with a "pipe".
12. Knit the heel of the sock in the same way as the toe.
13. After knitting the heel, 1 part of the loops will be on the knitting needle, the second on the pin.
14. Continue knitting the bootleg to the elastic in the same way as the sock.
15. Tie an elastic 2 * 2, knitting the last loop in the purl.
16. After tying the desired length of elastic, close the loops with an elastic method or a needle.

I propose a master class on knitting socks, winter is coming, let's knit warm socks for our kids on two knitting needles and without sewing. This method is convenient not only because we use only 2 knitting needles, but it is also very convenient to repair such socks. The first thing that wears out is the sole or heel, and in order to replace them, you must almost completely dissolve a regular sock knitted on 5 needles. It is very time consuming. If you knit a sock on 2 needles, you can dissolve only the heel or heel with the sole, it takes much less time. Also, when knitting, you can add a stronger or warmer thread to this section of the sock.

We cast on 16 loops and knit with an elastic band 1x1 16 rows, 2 rows of faces. loops, 8 rows of sock stitching (1p. - face. loops, 1p. - out. loops). Further along the edges we make a mark, we put paper clips (or pins, or threads - whatever is convenient for anyone) into the extreme loops on both sides.

We continue to knit straight in a sock knit to the tip of the little finger (measure along the child's leg), knit 2 more rows of faces. loops.

We begin to knit the toe, knit with a boomerang.
Boomerang: tied to the end of the little finger and begin to decrease the loops, without tying 1 loop at the end of each row, until 8 medium loops remain on the knitting needle.

Detailed description of knitting toe and heel "BOOMERANG"

On the needle 16 loops, we begin to knit the toe, we do the decrease like this:

• from the front side we knit 15 persons, and we leave the 16th on the knitting needle, we do not knit, we turn the knitting
• 14, we do not knit 15, we turn knitting
• 13 persons, we do not knit 14, we turn knitting
• 12, we do not knit 13, we turn knitting
• 11 persons, 12th we do not knit, we turn knitting
• 10, we do not knit 11, we turn knitting
• 9 persons, we do not knit the 10th, we turn the knitting
• 8, we do not knit 9, we turn knitting

We start adding loops - at the end of each row, knitting one loop at a time. You need to add loops until their number becomes the same (in our case, 16)
In more detail how to add:

• knit 9 persons on the front side, turn knitting
• 10 out. turn knitting
• 11 persons. turn knitting
• 12 int. turn knitting
• 13 persons. turn knitting
• 14 int. turn knitting
• 15 persons. turn knitting
• 16 int. turn knitting.

All toe is tied.

Knit 2 rows with front loops /
Along the edge of knitting on both sides, we collect the same number of loops to the clips (as shown in the previous photo).

We knit the sole

The principle of knitting, how the heel at the toe is knitted - at the end of each row we knit the last and typesetting loops together, that is, we knit 15 loops 16 and 17 together, turned the knitting and knitted 15 loops again, 16 and 17 together, turn the knitting and so we knit until staples until 16 medium stitches remain on the needle.

So we tied the sole to the staples. You can try it on to make sure it is the right size.
We begin to knit the heel with Boomerang. First, we make subtractions,.

Then additions (). That's it, the heel is ready.

On the edges on both sides from the clips to the elastic, dial the loops (in this case, 4 loops) and continue to knit until the elastic as the sole was knitted - we knit 15 persons, 16 and 17 loops together, and so we knit until the dialed loops end and 16 remain medium loops.

Knit 2 rows with front loops.
There is very little left! We tied to the elastic, the staples can be removed, we collect 8 loops at the edges on both sides of the elastic and knit with an elastic band 1 * 1, as we knitted the sole, at the end of each row we knit 2 loops together. And so we continue to knit until the dialed loops are over and there are no 16 medium loops left. Close the hinges.

All our sock is ready. We knit the second in the same way.

Cast on 40 stitches on 2 knitting needles folded together. Release one of the knitting needles and very tightly knit one row with a 1x1 elastic band, at the same time distributing the loops into 4 knitting needles as follows: knit the first 10 loops on the 1st knitting needle, then with the 2nd knitting needle another 10 loops, then the 3rd - the next 10 loops and finally, knit the last 10 loops with the 4th knitting needle. Mark the loops of the 1st knitting needle with a pin or thread of a contrasting color for guidance in further work. Then tie the end of the thread ("tail") with a knot with a working thread, the knitting will be closed in a circle.
Knit from right to left on the outside of the circle 4-5 cm with 1x1 elastic band. Having knitted an elastic band (cuff), it is necessary to knit 5 cm (to the ankle) with stocking knitting. After that, start tying the heel.
Knotting the heel. Divide knitting into 2 equal parts and knit loops of only two knitting needles: 3rd and 4th (the loops on the 1st and 2nd knitting needles do not participate in the formation of the heel). To make it more convenient to work, it is first recommended to knit loops from 2 knitting needles to one (with the 3rd and 4th needles), and then knit a straight fabric with hosiery - heel height.
The height of the canvas should be determined as follows: the number of extreme loops from one of the edges of the canvas should be equal to the number of loops on one knitting needle (in this case, there should be 10 extreme). Then pause knitting by knitting the front row. The shape of the heel is achieved by decreasing the loops. Divide the loops, including the extreme ones, into 3 equal parts (if the number is not divisible by 3 without a remainder, then the remainder must be added to the middle part). In this case, distribute the loops as follows: 6 loops for the side parts and 8 loops for the middle one.

1 row (seamy side of the canvas) - purl loops; knit 6 loops of the 1st side part, then knit all the loops of the middle part, except for the last loop, knit it on the wrong side, together with the adjacent loop of the 2nd side part. (5 loops of the 2nd side part will remain untied). Knit to turn.
2nd row (front side of the canvas) - front loops: remove the extreme one and pull up tight, then knit all the loops of the middle part, except for the last loop, knit it together with the adjacent loop of the 1st side part of the front for the back wall. Knit to turn.
Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows until all the loops of the side parts are knitted with the outer loops of the middle part (the work should end with the knitting of the front row), only the loops of the middle part remain on the knitting needle (8 loops).
When forming a heel, a nylon or some other strong thread can be attached to the woolen thread. Having finished knitting the heel, this thread must be cut off and only woolen knitting should be continued.

Knit a sock until the toe decreases. This part of the sock should be knit again in a circle with the front loops. With the knitting needle on which the loops of the middle part are located, dial on the front side of the sock new loops from the outer loops of the canvas, from each extreme loop one front, 10 loops in total. With a free knitting needle, knit 10 loops on the 1st knitting needle, then with the other knitting needle 10 loops on the 2nd. With a free knitting needle, cast on new loops from the other edge of the canvas (the same as you typed from the opposite) and knit half the loops of the middle part on it (4 loops).
There are 4 knitting needles in work again, and there should be more loops on the 3rd and 4th than on the 1st and 2nd (they are needed so that the sock does not tighten the leg lift). Knit in a circle and at the same time reduce the extra loops on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles, knitting them 2 together with the purl through 2 rows (circles). So that the thickening from the decrease does not interfere with walking, they should be done from the edges of the foot, i.e. at the beginning of the 3rd knitting needle and at the end of the 4th. When the initial number of loops is on these knitting needles (10 on each), stop decreasing the loops and knit the sock to the end of the little finger (in this example, 6 cm).
Decrease the loops on the toe. At the beginning of the 1st knitting needles, knit 2 together front (behind the back walls), at the end of the 2nd knitting needles - 2 together front (behind the front walls), at the beginning of the 3rd - 2 together front (behind the back walls), and at the end 4th - 2 together front (behind the front walls). Decrease until 1 loop remains on the needles. After that, cut the thread, sew the loops with it, pull them tight and close the end of the thread with a crochet hook on the seamy side.

Knitting for babies is a pleasure, especially if babies are newborns. Things are knitted quickly and easily, because they are still very tiny. It is especially pleasant to knit small socks for 3-6 months. So that the baby's legs are always warm in the cold season, since when newborn crumbs are born, they still do not know how to keep warm in themselves, to warm themselves, therefore it is so important for mommy to take care that the baby does not get overcooled, and his legs are always warm. But it is difficult to put on socks on a newborn; it will be more convenient for babies under 3 months old.

If you still do not know how to knit socks or maybe you are not confident in your abilities that you will cope with this needlework - do not despair, everything will certainly work out. And this master class will help beginners, as it describes all the steps in detail and accompanied by photographs.

So, we arm ourselves with materials:

• cotton yarn 100% gray and a little white
• toe knitting needles No. 3.5

Socks for babies with knitting needles (from 3 to 6 months) - with a description and a photo for beginners:

We type 32 loops on the knitting needles.

Next, we distribute all the loops on four knitting needles in equal numbers on each (in this case, 8 loops).


From the first to the 24th row, we will knit an elastic band for socks, which is knitted alternately from one front loop and one purl loop. As a result, we get such a high and neatly knitted elastic band.


After the elastic is tied, on each knitting needle we subtract one loop, we get a total of 28 loops.
The next stage is the stage of forming the heel, for this purpose we combine the loops from two knitting needles on one knitting needle and knit 8 rows with the front stitch.


Next, we knit 10 front loops and make a decrease by knitting two front loops together. We turn over the knitting, knit 6 purl loops and again make a decrease. Thus, we make a decrease until there are 6 loops on the spoke. The heel is ready.


Next, we divide the loops on the knitting needle, with which the heel was knitted, in half into two (three loops on each knitting needle) and begin to pick up 4 knit loops from the side of the heel during knitting (so that there are 7 loops on the knitting needle again).


We knit the next 10 rows in a circle with front loops. Then we change the gray yarn to white thread and knit the next three rows with front loops.


The final stage of knitting is to decrease the loops. To form a sock in each next row, we subtract one loop on each knitting needle until one loop remains.


After that, cut off the thread, thread it into a tapestry needle and thread it through all four remaining loops. We tie it well into a knot, fasten the thread and cut it off.


Knitted socks for babies are ready. I hope my description and photo will help beginners understand knitting.
