A real lesson in knitting with needles, visuallyshows how to make long knitted stockings from yarn. We will try to give such a description, according to which any needlewoman will be able to knit this thing.

Equipment

It should be noted that any knitted stocking consists of several parts, which are schematically depicted in the following photo.

The upper knitted area is labeled with the letter a, andis called "the side". After it, a little lower, comes the first even zone b. Next comes zone c, which falls on the part of the leg where its circumference becomes smaller. After that, we see zone g (neck), zone d, that is, the heel. The remaining three parts are in the place of the foot. Knitting must begin from the upper part, that is, from the side. We make a set of loops (P) on two knitting needles, after which we remove one of them, and place all the loops equally on four. The upper side must be knitted with a two by two elastic band.
This is the most comfortable knitting, very elastic and at the same timeat the same time, it is quite elastic. The number of loops for casting on the elastic is determined by the pattern, depending on the length of the circumference at its location. It is advisable to knit an elastic band for the side at least five centimeters (cm) long. After the side, area b of the knitted stocking begins. It must be knitted with the front surface, highlighting the vertical path at the back. To get such a path, you need to knit the last two loops on the fourth knitting needle in a special way. They are knitted through a row, on the front in one and on the back in the other row. The resulting path goes from the upper side to the heel, highlighting the center of the knitted product at the back, and at the same time decorating it. This path has another purpose. It is located on the border of the rows, so it is an indicator of the beginning rows (P). To calculate the length of the first zone after the elastic, you need to double the width of this part. The length can be two or two and a half times greater than its width. In this area of the knitted stocking the number of loops is constant, that is, without increases or decreases.

Part b stocking fits with a gradual decreaseNumber of loops. As a result, this area of the stocking always changes, shrinking in diameter. Its size should be approximately equal to 75% of the previous zone b. To reduce the number of P, you need to knit two loops along the edges of the back track. Doing these downs, do not forget that they must separate from the decorative path with one eyelet. While doing part of the c, first we knit straight, and then we start the cuts of the units. The direct region of the zone в is 25% of the entire region б. Note that part of the loop of the zone in will become the base of the heel (e). The heel needs to be knit large enough to prevent the assembly from forming at the top. If this happens, the heel will quickly break, and the knitted stocking will have an ugly and irregular shape. A fairly large heel has one more advantage. It makes a longer wedge, which leads to the convenience of wearing a stocking.

How to properly tie a heel of a stocking

To knit the heel of a stocking correctly, you need to doa decorative path located at the back as a reference point. On the sides of it, we cast on half of the available P on two knitting needles, and knit the length of the fabric that is equal to the height of the heel itself. Most often, the height is equal to its base. We also knit the heel with the front surface. If desired, it can be decorated with a path. To do this, we always knit the two outer P on each knitting needle with front loops (LP), in all rows without exception. When we have knitted the desired length of the heel, all the loops must be placed in this way. On the first knitting needle there should be two thirds of the total number of units. On the second, one third remains. First, knit P on the first knitting needle, then turn it and remove the first P. After this, you need to knit another row, and knit the last unit together with the first on the other knitting needle. Turn the work, and repeat this technique all the time until the knitting of the heel is finished.

Knitting a wedge with a foot and toe

To make a wedge of a stocking, it is necessary to type the eyeboltsOn the edges of the heel, and tie the LP two circular rows. If you have extra P, then you need to reduce them through the series. Most often, the reduction of these unnecessary IIs is performed at the end of the first, or at the beginning of the fourth spokes. It is best if you insert the wedge of the stocking into the sole. In this case, those П with which the reduction is performed must be a continuation of the heel of the stocking. Then you need to reduce on the first spoke one third of all units. Then on the fourth knitting needle at the end of knitting we will reduce two-thirds of the number of P. When the wedge of the stocking is completely connected, let's start knitting the foot and toe. When performing the toe, you need to reduce the number of units on each of the four spokes.

Knitted stockings with an openwork pattern

For example, we suggest you make knitted stockings with an openwork pattern.

This model, which you see in the photo, you canLink, dividing the stocking into zones in such a way as it was shown in the previous master class. For knitting, you need two hundred grams of fine wool yarn (50 g 150 m), as well as knitting needles number three and a half. An openwork pattern with a detailed description you can see in the photo below.

Start knitting just like it wasIs indicated by dividing the whole product into parts according to the first scheme presented in the lesson. Continuing the needlework, follow the pattern, the scheme of which you see on the second scheme with the symbols. Accurately following all the available instructions, you will be able to make excellent woolen stockings with an openwork pattern.
