Can I tie my socks overnight?

If you want to make pleasant to your ownTo a person, showing him how much you cherish them and take care of him, then tie him socks. Yes, simple socks! And this will not take much time - you can knit socks overnight. Do not believe me? And you check!

To do this, take about 150 grams of thread. It is best to use natural wool - from it socks will be soft, warm and light. In addition, you will need five thin spokes, designed specifically for circular knitting.

Many do not need to tell how to knit socks. The technology is quite simple and understandable. But for those who for the first time decided to tie this necessary wardrobe item with their own hands, we will tell how to do it correctly and most importantly quickly.

Measure the ankle of the host of future socks. Then tie a small piece of 10 loops into 10 rows. Measure it and calculate how many loops in one centimeter. Now calculate how many loops you need, but keep in mind that the number of loops should be a multiple of four, that is, on all loops there should be an equal number of loops.

Well, the first step to tie socks overnight, done. Now the process itself. On typed loops we knit an elastic band 2x2 - alternately 2 face and 2 purl. To ensure that the sock grips the leg well and does not slip off it, the elastic band should be 6-8 cm high.

Having gummed, begin to make a heel. In this process, only threads with two spokes are involved - the third and fourth. To ensure that the heel lasts longer, add a knitting thread to the knitting. We knit a cloth equal to the height of the heel of the future sock. You can determine the required number of rows in a very simple way. For this it is sufficient to consider the edge loops: their number should equal the number of loops on one spoke. For example, if there are 15 loops on one spoke, 30 rows must be connected. In this place the elastic band is replaced by a stocking surface, that is, it is knitted with only facial loops.

If we continue to follow our advice, then knitting socks overnight is quite easy. The sock that appears in front of the eyes is vivid confirmation of this.

Now round the heel. To do this, the number of loops on the two working knitting needles is divided by three and we reduce the loops inside the resulting fabric with the help of truncated loops. Thus, the first and third parts will be reduced and the loops will remain only on the middle.

The next step is to enter all the loops. For this purpose, additional loops are made on each side of the heel from each edge loop. We knit a foot equal to the length of the foot of the one to whom the socks are intended. Knit follows the little finger, and so that the little finger was closed.

Once you have reached the desired length - you canto close a sock. Do this right, carefully calculating the loops and reducing them. Only in this case the sock will turn out beautiful and neat. It is best to use this technique: all the loops are divided into 5 parts, and in each part 2 the last loops are tied together. Thus, it is knitted until 2 loops remain on each spoke. Now through all 8 loops stretch the thread and fix them.

Hooray, one sock is ready. How much time did it take for you? Probably not more than 2-3 hours. So half the work is done, and if you have a little more patience, then you will first of all make sure that you can knit socks overnight.

Now we repeat the process of knitting again: an elastic band, a heel, a base, a sock. By the way, so that the sock was stronger, it can be strengthened with an additional nylon thread just like the heel.

Well, now you know how to tie socks. But we gave only general recommendations, it depends on you, which socks you will get. They can be made in multi-colored or striped, the elastic band can be different in height. You can add inserts associated with some kind of pattern, for example, plaits, or even some kind of openwork.
