Whether knitted socks will sit well depends on how well the heel is tied. Knitting needles on the heel of socks is considered by many to be an impossible task, but it is very easy. You just need to try several options and choose your own.
Knitting heel socks with a bottom of three parts (straight heel)
Performing the upper part of the sock, you divided the typed loops equally into four parts (for example, they scored only 60, on the needles it turns out 15). The heel is knitted on two knitting needles, the first and fourth (a total of 30 sts.).
Knitting a straight heel consists of two main parts.
- The execution of the wall . We knit the front surface with the required number of rows (their number should be less than 2 than the number of loops on the working knitting needles). In our example there are 30 of them, we get 28 rows.
- Bottom part. Divide the heel loops evenly. In the case when their number is not a multiple of 3, the remainder is left in the middle part. In our work, we get 10 x 10 x 10 loops.
Knitting heel socks
In the first row we knit persons. n., knit the last one, crossed with the adjacent loop of the left side. Turn the work over (10 x 10 x 9).
In the second row we knit out. p., we knit the last loop of the middle part with the adjacent loop of the right part (9 x 10 x 9).
Next, we knit according to the example of the first and second rows, until 10 stitches of the middle part of the work remain.
Foot. Wedge lift
It is necessary to dial loops with edge + 1 (15 on each side of the heel). Next, we introduce the second and third knitting needles and knit in circular rows.
Knitting one row, we get 20 x 15 x 15 x 20 loops. For a perfect fit, the sock must be knitted in each even circular row of one front, the penultimate two stitches of the first and first fourth knitting needles (broach). Reduce loops until you have an initial amount (60).
Knitting needles of heels of socks in short rows ("boomerang")
Loops are distributed according to the previous principle. The boomerang heel is shorter than the traditional one, therefore, 2 cm before knitting on these knitting needles, knit with facial smoothness. Dividing the heel loops into 3 equal parts, knit in short rows. Start work from the outside to the middle.
In the first row we knit the stitches. Turn over the work.
In the second row we knit with purl loops. The first loop must be double knitted. To do this, place the thread before work, insert the needle into the loop, which is removed on the working needle with the thread. At the same time, remember: the tighter the thread is stretched, the more invisible the hole will be. Next, we knit a row to the end with purl stitches. Turn over the work.
In the third row, having completed one double loop, we knit all the others with the front stitch, leave the double unbound. Turn over the work.
In the fourth row, having completed one double loop, we knit all the others with the wrong side of the stitch, leave the double ones untied. Turn over the work.
Repeat the third and fourth rows until the loops of the middle third of the heel remain on the knitting needles. Knit 2 circular rows in this way: the heel with the front surface, the loops of the second and third knitting needles - a pattern. Double loops in the front row fit together as one front.
Next, knitting socks with needles (heel, "boomerang") continues in shortened rows, but in the reverse order.
In the first row (persons), only the middle third loops fit.
In the second row, the loops are knitted with a wrong stitch. We knit the first loop double. Next, we knit a row to the end with purl stitches, including the last middle part. Turn over the work.
In the third row we knit the front stitch: double, then the loops of the row (double we knit as one), one loop of the outer part. Turn over the work.
In the fourth row we knit the wrong side: double, stitches of the row (double we knit as one), one loop of the extreme part. Turn over the work.
Repeat the third and fourth rows until we use all the loops of the outer parts. The last row will be the wrong one, so in the first circular row, you need to perform one more double loop once.
The scheme of knitting the heel of the socks with the needles of the "boomerang" method eliminates the lifting wedge. Therefore, immediately after performing the heel part, the foot is knitted.
