We knit different kinds of toe socks for children with knitting needles. General rules for knitting classic variations
DIY baby socks,are a wonderful gift for loved ones and friends, and will also transfer a piece of warmth of the soul invested in the work to their feet in the cold season. The toe, the part of the sock that covers the toes, can make a sock unusual and original. If you knit in the usual way, the toe is done last, and it is very important to make it neat so as not to spoil the look of the whole work.
Let's talk about the types of toes and look at the patterns for knitting them with knitting needles. Classic toes are star toes, propeller toes, snail toes, spiral toes, triangular toes and round toes. Let's focus on the star toe.
Star toe. 1.For this toe, each knitting needle must have an even number of loops. And we decrease the extra loops evenly in the previous rows in a circle. We make two decreases on each knitting needle, which depend on the number of the star-shaped toe, given in the size table, which indicates how many we knit with decreases before the first circular row. This number also indicates the loops that we knit together with the previous loop. 2. Let's say the toe number is seven, which means we should knit six more circular rows without decreases. In the first circular row with decreases, we knit together every sixth and seventh loops. The number of loops on the knitting needle between decreases is the number of the following rows without decreases. For example: the toe number is 5. Five circular rows are knitted without decreases; the next circular row with decreases, where in each row we knit loops 5 and 6 together. There are 4 loops left between the decreases on the knitting needle, which means we perform 4 circular rows without decreases.
We continue knitting with knitting needles according to this pattern untilthere are not two loops left on each of the knitting needles, i.e. eight loops in total. We pull the remaining loops together (preferably very tightly, or better yet, with a double thread) and secure the thread.
If you do everything right, the toe will be a star.will look neat, symmetrical and not press. If desired, the toe and heel can be highlighted with a contrasting thread. Models of knitted socks with colored inserts are now at the peak of children's fashion. And there are even socks without toes. We wish you inspiration! Your child will definitely like bright socks!
