Warm socks can be knitted on 5 knitting needles with your own handswith your hands. And even if you haven't done it before, you should still make such beauty yourself. So, a master class on knitting socks on 5 knitting needles: Socks are knitted on 5 knitting needles in a circle, most often with stocking stitch, starting from the cuff or elastic. Calculation To find out how many loops you need to cast on the knitting needles at the beginning of the work, you need to take two measurements: the circumference of the leg at the bone and along the instep.Knowing these dimensions, we calculate the averageleg circumference. To do this, add both measurements and divide the result by two. For example, the 1st measurement is 23 cm, the 2nd measurement is 27 cm. Therefore, 23 cm + 27 cm = 50 cm; 50 cm: 2 = 25 cm. We measure the volume of the leg at the ankle - 23 cm. We determine the knitting density using a control sample, calculate the number of loops needed to start work: 3 sts x 23 cm = 69 loops. We round this number up to an even number. It is more convenient if it is divisible by 4 without a remainder, since the loops are distributed among the knitting needles. In this example, it is better to take 72, then there will be 18 loops on each knitting needle (socks size 36-37). Start knitting a sock Cast on 72 loops on 2 double-pointed needles placed together. Release one of them and knit one row as tightly as possible with a 1x1 elastic band, simultaneously distributing the loops on 4 needles. Thus, on 4 needles, it turns out, there are 18 loops each, the 5th is working. Mark the loops of the 1st needle, it will be your guide. Then tie the end of the thread with a knot to the working thread, which will close the knitting in a circle (there are no more edge loops). Next, knit along the outer side of the circle clockwise 4-5 cm with a 1x1 elastic band. Having completed this, switch to stocking knitting and knit 5 cm to the ankle.Heel shaping.Divide the knitting into 2 equal parts and then knit only the loops of 2 knitting needles: 3rd and 4th. The loops of the 1st and 2nd knitting needles do not participate in the formation of the heel. To make it easier for you to work, first knit the loops from 2 knitting needles onto one (from the 3rd and 4th) and then knit a straight piece of fabric with stocking stitch - the height of the heel. The height of the fabric is determined as follows: the number of edge loops of the fabric should be equal to the number of loops on the 1st knitting needle. In this example, 18 edge loops (36 rows). After this, stop knitting, finishing it with a front row. Now the fabric needs to be shaped like a heel. This is achieved by decreasing the loops inside the fabric. Mentally divide the loops into 3 equal parts. Add the remainder (if any) to the middle part. Distribute the loops as follows: 12 loops each. Start decreasing: 1st row (wrong side of the fabric) - purl loops: knit 12 loops of the 1st side part, then all the loops of the middle part, except for the last loop - knit it purlwise together with the adjacent loop of the 2nd side part (11 loops of the 2nd side part remain unknitted). Turn knitting. 2nd row (front side of the fabric) - front loops: remove the edge loop and pull it tightly to the knitting needle, then knit all the loops of the middle part, except for the last loop, knit it together with the adjacent loop of the 1st side part with the front loop behind the back walls. Turn knitting. Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows until all the loops of the side parts are knitted with the outer loops of the middle part. The work should be finished by knitting the front row, only the loops of the middle part (12 loops) remain on the needles. When knitting the heel, a nylon or other strong thread can be attached to the woolen thread. Having finished knitting the heel, the nylon thread is torn off and knitting continues with a woolen thread. Knitting the sock before decreasing at the toe. Knit this part of the sock again in a circle with front loops. Start work like this: with the needle on which the loops of the middle part are located, pick up new loops along the front side of the sock from the edge loops of the heel - from each edge loop, 1 front loop, a total of 10 loops.Next, using a free knitting needle, knit 10 loops on1st needle, then with the other needle - 10 loops on the 2nd. Now with a free needle, pick up new loops from the edge of the fabric (as many as you picked up from the opposite side) and knit half of the loops of the middle part (4 loops) with it. Again, there are 4 needles in the work, and there must be more loops on the 3rd and 4th than on the 1st and 2nd. The extra loops are needed so that the sock does not tighten the instep. Now knit in a circle and at the same time decrease the extra loops on the 3rd and 4th needles, knitting them 2 together purlwise through 2 rows (circles). So that the thickening from the decreases does not interfere with walking, make them from the edges of the foot, i.e. at the beginning of the 3rd needle and at the end of the 4th. When you have the original number of loops on them, stop decreasing and knit the sock to the end of the little toe (in this example, 6 cm). Decreasing loops on the toe. There are several ways to decrease. Here is one of them: in each row (or every other row), knit 2 loops together purlwise at the end of the next knitting needle - in this case, the toe is rounded. Decrease until there is 1 loop left on the knitting needles. In order to get a rounded decrease in loops, you should knit two together purlwise in the middle and at the end of the fabric on each knitting needle. The number of rows that are knitted without decreases should always be equal to the number of loops knitted between two decreases on each knitting needle. After this, break off the thread, sew the loops with it, pull tightly and hide the end of the thread with a crochet hook on the wrong side of the sock. Decreases through a row are done if the toes are too long. You can make socks of different lengths, colors, styles, with different patterns. Everything depends only on your imagination.
