Sock crochet: scheme, photo, decoration options

The answer to avid knitters, recognizing knitting needles as the only possible tool, were crocheted socks . Their scheme is rather rare, verbal variants of descriptions become more widespread.

Hook allows you to create a relatively stiff and dense fabric, which increases the service life of the product and gives it a more precise shape.

What yarn to use

Traditionally, wool is used for socks, both clean and in combination with cotton, acrylic or polyamide. To increase the density of the areas that are most quickly wiped (heels and fingers), the nylon thread is mixed with the main yarn.

Despite the apparent similarity of acrylic yarn to woolen yarn, do not choose synthetic material, since it will not heat at all. Yarn of medium thickness is best suited for making crochet socks. The pattern of any pattern is usually designed for a thread of about 400 m / 100 grams. You can, of course, choose a much thicker yarn (200-300 m / 100 grams), but then you will have to do only with columns without a crochet (STBN) or with a crochet (STN).

How to crochet socks

It should be noted that this product can be performed both by beginners and experienced masters. However, from one and the other, you will need extraordinary stubbornness and perseverance, since there is no single recipe for knitting socks.

The difficulty lies in the fact that even if a description is given on which you can tie a sock with a crochet, the scheme is often designed for a specific string of thickness. If the master plans to use other material, she will have to adjust and adjust the instruction.

It is best to work on your own from the beginning, by perceiving the algorithm as recommendations. Sometimes the resulting impromptu pleasantly surprises even the knitter herself.

Beginning of work

When knitting a sock, you should perform 9 air loops. Then work, observing the following sequence:

1. Blend StBN along the VP chain.
2. At its end, unfasten 2StBN. Further work will go in a circular series.
3. Run StBN on a level plot.
4. At the second end, tie 2StBN. Then knit, adding loops in a similar way.

Trying a detail on the leg, or applying to the pattern, you can determine when it's time to stop adding.

The site of the sock from the last addition to the lifting of the foot is knitted exactly, in circular rows. In the case when the sock is multi-colored, as in the picture, the circular rows must begin and end on the sole of the product.

Sock Crochet: Knitting Pattern for Heel

After the front part of the sock is ready, you need to count the bars and divide their number by two. Next, you need to knit with straight poisons only the bottom half of the sock (to a height of 3-5 cm, depending on the size of the foot).

The next step will be the most difficult part, the heel. It is required to connect the narrowed and then expanding fabric first, to get the correct shape of the sock crochet. The scheme of this part is proposed below.

The number of columns and rows is arbitrary, each master will have its own. Some of the bars in the figure are indicated by colored markers. This is done in order to make it clear where the part should be connected.

The first part of the heel (tapering) is knitted with an even cloth. In the process of making the second one, you need to attach the web to the first part with connecting posts.

End the process

When the heel is ready, it remains very little: to bind the pagolenok. Its height can be quite any, from a few centimeters to the knee. By this principle, women, children's and men's socks are crocheted. Schemes will be exactly the same, though due to the difference in size, the number of columns will be strikingly different.

If a craftswoman wishes to decorate her creation, it is the most convenient thing to place a pattern on this part. There are no additions and abbreviations and you can make a fuss.

However, it is not uncommon for a sock to be made almost entirely openwork. Only the heels and toes remain dense.

Crochet: schemes of slippers socks

Short crocheted slippers are a simplified version of socks. The algorithm for creating them is quite simple:

1. Knit a circle of 6 stN. You can start the same way as socks, from the chain VP.
2. The circle is enlarged (6 cSt in each row) until it fits the size to form a slipper.
3. Then perform circular knitting without adding until the part reaches the leg lift.
4. The remainder of the slipper is knitted smoothly, working only with half of all the posts.
5. Then the slippers are sewn on the side and perform the strapping.
   

At the last stage the product can be decorated with a pompon or flower.
