How to crochet a sock ? On the one hand, products in this technique hold their shape, but with constant wear they can become softer and deform. On the other hand, knitting gum is more dense. Let's see how to create beautiful and practical crochet socks.
Beginning of work
In this technique, you can knit any form of products: knee-highs, leggings, socks, tracks, sandals, sneakers, slippers ... Plain, multi-colored, classic, openwork, dense, in the form of animals, from motifs. For a strong half of humanity, the assortment is not so large, so we will consider how to crochet men's socks in their classic form.
For work, you will need a hook number 2.5 and ordinary wool. We start knitting with a toe in the following steps:
- dial four air loops and close in a circle;
- each new row start with two lifting loops (PP), and end with a connecting loop;
- PP, 7 single crochet (SB / N);
- PP, 16 single crochet knitted together (SBNPV): in each previous loop, two columns;
- , 2 / , // 2 , 1 / , 1 //, 5 / , * 1 , 1 / , 1 *, 2 / ;
- PP, 3 SB / N, // repeats the pattern from the previous row //, 7 SB / N, * repeats the motive from the previous row *, 3 SB / N;
- PP, 4 SB / N, // - //, 9 SB / N, * - *, 4 SB / N;
- PP, 5 SB / N, // - //, 11 SB / N, * - *, 5 SB / N;
- PP, 6 SB / N, // - //, 13 SB / N, * - *, 6 SB / N;
- PP, 7 SB / N, // - //, 15 SB / N, * - *, 7 SB / N;
- PP, 8 SB / N, // - //, 17 SB / N, * - *, 8 SB / N;
- PP, 9 SB / N, // - //, 19 SB / N, * - *, 8 SB / N;
- PP, 10 SB / N, // - //, 21 SB / N, * - *, 10 SB / N.
How to crochet a sock: foot and heel
The toe is almost over. It should turn out 52 p. In the last round. Add two more loops and continue twenty rows of knitting without changes. Please note that the seam is located on the sole of the product.
Next, proceed to knitting the heel, which involves two stages: the lower and side parts. To do this, follow the diagram:
- fold the sock in half, seam down;
- select 27 loops for the heel (if necessary, return 13 loops from the seam with a connecting column) ;
- Now knit these stitches with single crochet stitches, knitting a loop from both ends in each row until you are left on the hook alone.
The result was a triangular lower heel. Now consider how to crochet a sock in the second step. To do this, on each side dial twenty-one loops. As a result, together with the front left 28 loops, you should get 70 p. Now you need to form the side parts of the heel. In this case, at the junction of the triangle and the front, you need to reduce three loops on both sides at once. So knit ten rows until 46 stitches remain.
How to crochet a sock: elastic
Next, knit sixteen rows or the desired number of centimeters with a relief pattern according to the following pattern:
- each new row begins with two lifting loops;
- knit the whole row with a crochet;
- alternate embossed and crocheted columns ;
- vertical relief and crown rows go strictly one above the other.
How to tie a embossed column? Double-crochet and enter the hook not under the loop, but under the entire column. That is, a new column covers the previous one. The result is a gum pattern where the crochet posts are inside and the embossed ones go out.
As you can see, crocheting socks for beginners is very simple. Alternate multi-colored threads and get bright extraordinary products.
