How to make a Christmas sock with your own hands?

Before the New Year, everyone wants to decorate their home, thereby bringing coziness and a festive mood. Despite the huge range of purchased decor, often the choice falls on homemade jewelry. This article will discuss how to make Christmas socks for gifts.

Manufacturing technique

New Year's sock has a slightly different shape, which is its distinguishing feature. It resembles a galoshe with winter design in bright colors.

To make a Christmas sock with your own hands, you need to prepare some materials.

1. Thick fabric that will not wrinkle. You can choose any color, but the ideal option is bright red.
2. Thin synthetic winterizer.
3. Any lining fabric.
4. Paper.
5. A non-wide satin ribbon of any color.
6. A needle.
7. Scissors.
8. Threads in tone with the selected fabric.

To conveniently create a pattern, it is better to take a leaf in the box. You need to draw with a simple pencil so that the bumps are easy to erase with an eraser. When the pattern is ready, it is carefully cut out, attached with needles to the fabric and encircled with chalk.

Two identical parts should be obtained for one sock, they are cut in turn from the main fabric (2 pcs.), Lining (2 pcs.) And synthetic winterizer (2 pcs.).

Christmas sock (how to sew):

1. First, two parts of the outer part of the sock are stitched.
2. They turn it inside out and sew the synthetic winterizer so that both seams coincide.
3. Sew the lining in the same way.
4. A ribbon in the form of a loop is attached to the top of the side.

Go to decorating the sock. The top can be decorated with fur, and the side part with knitted details with New Year's theme.

When choosing the size of socks, special attention is paid to the shape and dimensions of gifts. So that the sock does not lose shape, the New Year's surprise inside should not hang out.

Garland of christmas socks

Christmas sock has many design options. One of the original ideas is a garland of such jewelry.

First you need to sew miniature jewelry of different colors. The number of socks depends on the length of the garland. Then small socks cling to the colorful ribbon.

Such a garland can serve not only as decoration, but also as a container for sweet gifts.

It is necessary to prepare:

Parts are cut out according to the pattern and stitched.

You can decorate a sock with everything that hints at a festive theme (bows, beads, ribbons, rhinestones, etc.). For a wide design of the sock in the upper part you will need a white felt.

Christmas sock knitting

In order to knit a Christmas sock, it is necessary to prepare yarn of several colors. Preferably red and white, but you can choose a different color scheme. As well as knitting needles.

Knitting socks instruction.

• Socks are knitted on five knitting needles, where on four there are loops.
• Start to knit round the top to the toe.
• Gather the desired number of loops and evenly distribute them on four knitting needles.
• In a circle they knit elastic, alternating the front and back loops. Its length is not more than 6 cm.
• The length of the sock to the heel is knitted with fully facial loops.
• The heel is made on two knitting needles from half of the loops, while the second is not touched. Make a tightened facial knit up to 6 cm high.
• To shape the heel, make a descent. The loops are evenly divided into three parts, if extra ones remain, they are attached to the center.
• The central part is continued to be knitted further and loops from the side are gradually attached to it.
• So that the descent of the loops ends on the front side, it always starts from the inside out. Knit 2/3 of the wrong loops. Then they take the last loop from the center and the first from the third part, knit them together with the wrong knit.
• They turn the sock and knit on the front side, while at the turn, the first loop is simply removed and not knitted.
• Knit together the last loop of the central part and the first loop of 1 part. Remove the first loop (do not knit), the following make the face viscous.
• Again turn the sock and do the same manipulations.
• Continue knitting until all side loops are closed.
• Next, loops are gathered from the lateral parts of the heel, from three rows three loops (one loop from each second row and one additional).
• Go to circular knitting. To do this, take: loops of the central calcaneal part and from the remaining knitting needles, newly dialed from the side parts of the heel. Knit a number of facial viscous.
• Then begin the reduction of loops. At the end of the first knitting needle, the 2nd and 3rd loop are knitted together. In the same way they do it on the fourth spoke. Do this until the initial number of loops remains.
• In a circle they knit the foot of the sock with the front viscous to the bone of the thumb.
• They begin to knit a toe toe, reducing loops. From the end of the first knitting needle (in every second row) 2 + 3 loops of the front viscous knit together.
• Such decreases are made in each row until four loops remain, they are pulled together and fixed with a thread.

Crochet Christmas Sock

The size of the sock will depend on the chosen yarn.

You will need:

• yarn of bright colors;
• hook matching yarn;
• scissors.

Detailed instructions:

• The toe will knit in a circle (single crochet) from toe to heel. When knitting, the yarn alternates.
• I row. Make a loop and knit 6 columns in it. This will be the basis for the circle. It turned out six loops.
• II row. In each loop, two columns are knitted so that the number increases to 12 loops.
• III row. In each second loop, two more columns are made, a total of 18 loops. The rest knit one column.
• IV row. No addition.
• V row. Each third loop has 2 columns (total 24 loops). The rest is one column.
• VI row. No addition.
• VII row. In each 4th loop, 2 columns (total 30 loops).
• Thus, we got a toe cap. You can reduce or increase the ranks.
• VIII row and beyond. They knit in a circle without adding a foot of the desired length.
• They stop at the place where the boot should begin. They begin to knit not in a circle, but as a fabric, in one and the other direction. Thus, knit the length of the foot.
• In a circle to the desired length knit leg.
