How to knit socks if you do not own knitting needles? Very simple! Buy yarn, select the appropriate hook and choose the scheme of the desired model. Crochet you can build fishnet and warm tracks, slippers, sandals, sneakers, shoes and even boots! This is possible thanks to a special technique that allows you to hold any shape. So, today we will tell you how to crochet a sock.
Varieties of models
Depending on the technique of knitting, conditionally socks can be divided into 5 types:
- "Myskovye". We crochet socks (slippers) from the sock. We collect a chain of air loops along the length of the fingers. Further along the oval with a gradual addition, a foot is created, from the thumb to the heel. Separately, the heel and elastic band are tied.
- “Whole”. The product begins to be knitted with a long chain that is tied around with an oval, and at a certain stage, the heel and toe are immediately made. Thus, two parts are knitted, which are sewn together.
- "Motivational." How to crochet a sock by this principle? Do the desired number of squares, triangles, flowers, which you add to each other in a certain order and connect. Slippers are collected in the same way.
- "Rubber bands." The product begins to be tinkered with an elastic band (a regular grid pattern). Next, the heel, foot and toe are tied. The principle is similar to knitting, only crocheting is done.
- "Plantar." The sole is tied out, and then the sidewalls and up of the toe “grow” with columns with a crochet.
How to crochet a sock from squares
Motives allow you to make the product original, this is achieved due to the shape and color. At the same time, for the squares, it is necessary to choose as many colors as there are rows in the motive itself, and the finished socks are tied with another thread. Consider how this happens, using the example of creating a track or slipper. If desired, then it will be possible to "provide" an elastic band. So, for a slipper, we knit 8 squares according to the scheme:
- Make an air chain of 6 loops and close in a ring.
- Each new row starts with 3 lift air loops. Type, alternating, 3 loops for the arch, 3 double crochet.
- The next row is also knitted with alternating double crochet with 3 air loops, only in each 3-loop arch you knit 6 double crochet with an arch in the middle. It turns out that the side of the square already consists of 9 columns, while the loop-arches define the corners of the figure.
- We knit the penultimate row according to the same pattern, only the side of the figure already contains 15 columns.
- The last row is tied with crochets, only in the middle of the looped arch one air loop is knitted.
If the notation on the diagram is not clear, then learn the lessons of beginners, telling how to learn how to crochet.
Socks are collected according to the following algorithm:
- spread corners four squares on the diagonal;
- between the second and third motive on each side is added in a pattern, forming the widest figure;
- the last two squares join the fourth motive, forming a triangle. Now slippers are formed. The first single motive creates a toe. We sew it with the sides of a large square so that the inner sides are connected to the sides of the second diagonal figure, and the upper faces are superimposed on the remaining edges of the large rhombus.
A triangle forms a heel slipper. The sides of the fourth and third diagonal square are sewn together. And the sides of the triangle are connected with the edges of a large figure. As a result, we get slippers with sides. How to crochet a sock with a top? 9 square motifs and 2 triangles are simply knitted, which also fold in a certain order, and the top of the sock (bootleg) is tied with arches. Crocheted socks are very beautiful, but how comfortable they are should be checked in practice.
