When winter comes, it is necessary to provide warmth to children's legs. For this you will need socks. Of course, you can go to the store and purchase several pairs without any problems, but you can make them yourself with pleasure. In this case, you yourself choose the color, size, design of the product. Knitting socks for a child is not just a thing. This is a part of the motherโs soul, which put love and care into her work.
Naturally, socks should be soft and warm, so it is better to choose a coarse wool yarn. The product is knitted mainly on five stocking knitting needles. If you have material and tools, then you need to measure the baby's leg. Next, tie the test element of the canvas (10 loops in 10 rows), measure its width and, based on this, calculate the desired number of loops for the length of the circumference of the lower leg.
If you want to make knitting socks for your child yourself, you need to dial the desired number of loops and divide it into 4 knitting needles. The fifth will be working. In principle, if you are new to this business, then try for the first time to tie the product with a handkerchief or facial stitch. For experienced craftswomen , knitting socks for a child may contain voluminous patterns. Work begins with gum. It should have a certain length, which is about 7 cm. In order to prevent it from stretching, you can sew an elastic tape or a special thread to it.
After that, socks, knitted for the child, provide for the construction of the heel (unless, of course, after the elastic there is no patch made by the surface). To do this, it is necessary to divide all the loops into 3 parts. At the same time, a larger section fits further without changes, and in the other two it is necessary to make reductions. In order for the heel to be as strong as possible, you can add a stronger thread to the main yarn.
Now it is necessary to continue the work as follows: from the edge sides, you need to dial loops on the knitting needles and knit circular rows with a simple smooth surface. Do this as long as the product does not need to be narrowed. The reduction of loops must begin with the little finger. Knitting socks for children are a guarantee of warmth and comfort, which you can provide your baby yourself. You need to reduce the loops so that they round the edge of the product. After the sock is tied, it is necessary to wash it in accordance with the recommendations indicated on the yarn. Now it is ready to use.
It should be noted that the construction of one pair of children's socks will take you a maximum of 2 days (although you can handle one). There are technologies for
knitting socks on two knitting needles. In addition, you have the opportunity to make a product with a pattern, with a combination of several colors, with additional decorations. And you can knit not only winter options for socks, but also summer ones, as well as socks and tights.
