So, we knitted an elastic band - in other words - a cuff of a sock, about 7-10 cm high on 48 loops. Then they knit 2-5 cm with facial loops, after which we can proceed to the next stage. How to knit the heel of the toe with knitting needles, starting from its straight section, we now consider. This section is knitted on two knitting needles - the first and fourth (24 loops).
It is not difficult to determine the first spoke at the end of the thread. She always remains with her tail on the first spoke, from the beginning of the set of loops. On the first and fourth knitting needles, we will knit a straight fabric: in straight and reverse rows. Not in a circle, but with front and back loops, constantly turning the working side towards itself. How to knit a heel of a sock with knitting needles for 38th shoe size? For this size, the heel height will be about 5 centimeters.
How to knit a heel?
On the first spoke we knit everything with facial loops.
The last - edge - wrong side. We turn the product over from the wrong side to it and removing the first loop from the untied one, we knit the wrong loops in a row, reaching the edge where the next knitting needle will be the fourth. We continue the wrong side of the fourth spoke.
If desired, you can knit the fourth knitting needle (12 loops) - the first knitting needle, leaving in operation, for convenience, only three knitting needles. We knit the last loop of the fourth knitting needle - the hem - on the wrong side. Turn the canvas over, transfer the edge loop to the right knitting needle without knitting. We knit the front row of 24 loops - the edge along the back row, do not forget - the back. We knit in this way 5 cm of canvas.
Now about how to knit the heel, or rather its lateral parts. Divide 24 loops into three parts of 8 loops: the central and 2 parts of the side surfaces. The first 8 loops are lateral, the second 8 are central and the remaining 8 are again lateral. The loops of the first and fourth knitting needles are combined on one, for convenience.
Formation
We will knit the extreme loops of the canvas of the central part of the heel together with one loop of the lateral surface on each side. If the number of web loops is not divided into 3 parts without a remainder, then we add the remaining one loop to the central
parts of the heel, if there are two of them, then distribute them one at a time on each side surface. The number of loops of the side surfaces should be the same. We always remove the first loop from the knitting needle without knitting.
We turn the work to ourselves on the seamy side and again, removing the first loop of the untied, we knit eight loops, taking into account the shot. We knit seven loops, and 8th from the middle part we knit the wrong side with the first of eight loops together. Again, we turn the canvas on the front row, and the first loop is again removed unbroken. Together with the removed, we knit 7 loops, the eighth, as before, we knit with the first loop of the lateral surface of the heel together - the wrong viscous. Again, turn the work face to face,
removing the first untied, we knit together with the removed 7 loops, we knit the eighth together with the first loop of the side surface of the heel. To do this, remove one loop unbound, knit the second face and stretch it through the removed loop. We expand the work on the wrong side.
This repetition continues until all the loops of the lateral surfaces of the heel with the central part are knitted. So, you have learned from our description how to knit a heel, and it turns out that it is very simple. The toe heel connected in this way is formed, and we can proceed to the next knitting step.
