Socks on two spokes: a step-by-step master class (photo)
Content
Knitters know very well that the mostA common method of knitting socks involves using five knitting needles, four of which have loops, and the fifth does the knitting. This technique is suitable for both experienced and novice craftswomen. But not all needlewomen know that knitting socks on two knitting needles has also existed for a long time. Now we will try to master this method and conduct a master class with step-by-step photos. The manufacturing technique is convenient for those needlewomen who experience discomfort from having a large number of knitting needles in their work. It often happens that they slip out of the work, and the loops can easily come undone. Knitting socks on two knitting needles is more convenient, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with this technique. This method is quite simple and allows you to make a product without a seam, similar to other knitting.
We knit socks on two spokes
To connect them, at the very beginning of the needleworkUse an additional thread about thirty centimeters in length. Cut off a piece of extra thread, preferably silk, so that it slides. We will tie the main and auxiliary threads in a knot, not very tightening it. The main thread is on the index finger. The auxiliary thread is on the thumb. After that, you can type loops, but the set should be in the amount of half the required. If you need forty-six loops, then get twenty-three, and for a child's toe, the number of loops (P) will be even smaller.
After we have completed the required setnumber of sock loops, start knitting. In the first row, all the stitches are knitted as front loops (LP), and the last one should be a purl loop (IL). Next comes the second row, in which all the stitches are purl, and the last one is not knitted.
The same technique is used to make the front and back rows. Without knitting the last P, we make incomplete rows. By knitting with this technique, we get one third of the P
. This is approximately how the fabric should look with the last unknitted loops. Pay attention to what kind of knitting appearance you should get in this case, when this stage is completed.
This master class assumes the presence oftwenty P, five of which remain unknitted. Continue making the sock on two needles, knitting previously unknitted P, one piece in one row. To avoid holes in the knitting, make a yarn over in the middle, after the lifted P and before the other P.
Remove the P from the left side and make a yarn over, thenwhich we again place the same previously removed loop on the left knitting needle. After this, we knit two loops together purlwise. In exactly the same way, we need to knit a P on the other side of the fabric, lifting the yarn over between two P, one of which is not knitted, and the second is a yarn over. This is done in the same sequence as from the wrong side of the sock fabric.
The previously removed P is then placed on the needleleft. Then knit two loops together again with a face loop. When you finish this stage of work, you will get this shape of the fabric, which is the toe of the sock.
Then remove the extra thread from the sock, andPut the released P on the knitting needle. Now we have two knitting needles with loops, the number of which is enough to knit a seamless sock. As you have noticed, knitting a sock is not difficult. This is quite possible for experienced and novice needlewomen. Then place the P on one knitting needle. At this stage, knitting a sock is done like this. We knit the first P from knitting needle number one as a LP. From knitting needle number two (back), the loop must be removed. The thread when removing the P remains in front of the fabric. It is necessary to know that the last P must be done as a purl loop.
Further knitting of the sock exactly repeatspreviously described operations, and it can be performed automatically, resulting in the so-called "pipe". This is the shape of the toe obtained at this stage of work. After completing this stage, we will proceed to forming the heel. The technique of work here is the same as when making the toe.
After finishing the work on forming the heelsocks all P are divided into two parts, one of which is located on the knitting needle, the second on an auxiliary pin. Then follows the continuation of knitting the pipe until the elastic zone of the sock is reached. We knit the elastic of the sock two by two, alternating front and not knitted P, as well as back and not knitted.
Now you need to remove the knitting needle and finish the row in any way you know. To make the toe of your product stretch well, pull the thread as much as possible when closing the loops.
Video master class on knitting socks
We offer you a video master class, watch itwhich socks on two knitting needles can be knitted by any of you, even a beginner needlewoman. First, it is recommended to dial an even number of loops and make a small sample, which will help determine the number of sets to form a sock in your size. Please note that the technique is radically different from the previous master class, and the needlework begins with knitting an elastic band, not a toe. We continue to watch the video, and at the same time do the needlework. We will knit six centimeters of elastic two by two. Note that the number of rows for the elastic must necessarily be odd. After the elastic, we must make the transition to performing the front surface, which must also be done six centimeters. Then we divide the P on the knitting needle into four equal parts, and mark the division points with small pins.
Next, we distribute all the P on three knitting needles.In this case, one third of all the Ps should be on the outer needles, and two thirds on the middle one, that is, twice as much. Now it's time to knit the heel, and this process is perfectly shown in this video. The heel is knitted on three needles. When it is finished, the fabric is again transferred to its previous position. Depending on the size of the product, after the heel, you need to knit a certain amount of length with the front surface. Having reached the desired length, begin decreasing the loops for the toe. This technique has a feature when the decrease is not done at the expense of the edge loops, as shown in the video. Having completed the toe, carefully close the loops and sew the sock fabric from the elastic side. The elastic and the front surface are sewn using slightly different techniques, which are also present in the video. After watching this material, you will definitely like knitting socks on 2 needles.
