In the cold season, the whole body freezes. And it is important to warm not only the upper part, but also women's legs no less need warm clothes. Needlewomen, in addition to creating cozy and voluminous cardigans and various coats, hone their skills on knitting various socks, slippers and stockings. Also, original knitted stockings are becoming increasingly popular. The article provides a detailed description of how to create this product, as well as patterns of patterns used when knitting it.
Variety of Golfs
It is worth noting that such a detail of the wardrobe as knitted stockings has become fashionable along with short skirts. Initially, they began to be worn to warm the skin of the legs. These long stockings are suitable for almost all ladies, regardless of the slimness of the figure. They can be combined not only with skirts, but also with shorts and even with short dresses. In order to lengthen the legs or emphasize their grace, when knitting stockings, various openwork patterns, weaves of plaits or braids are used. Also knitted socks cancontain Irish or Scandinavian motifs in your canvas. Often the creation of high socks begins with an elastic band, and the wider it is, the tighter the product will hold on the leg. When replacing the elastic, it is acceptable to use a drawstring or wear stockings slightly lowered at the ankle.
Required Materials
Knitting yarn can be anything. In warm weather, cotton, viscose, linen will be appropriate. The addition of acrylic in the threads warms the legs in cool weather. In golfs made of natural wool, it will be warm in the rainiest and coldest time of the year. It all depends on what season you are going to use these stockings.
Usually, hosiery is knitted on four thin knitting needles that serve as auxiliary needles and one working one. All tools must be of the same size and match the number recommended by the yarn manufacturer. Another important criterion when choosing threads is the natural composition of the fibers. The main thing is that knitted stockings are warm and do not cause discomfort (irritation, causticity, ticklishness).
Preparation
Before you start knitting and use your chosen patterns, you need to determine the density of your work. To do this, you need to dial the number of loops on the stocking needles, a multiple of the pattern repeat, and it is desirable to knit a complete sample of the pattern. Then calculate the number of links that fit in 10 centimeters. The scheme and description of knitted golfs in our article suggest 28 loops.
It is also important to consider and study the scheme of the openwork pattern, understand the conventional icons and understand yourselfthe process of knitting it. The elastic is knitted in a circle with alternating two facial and two purl loops. The length of the cuff can be any - at your discretion.
Openwork
Next, consider the figure, its scheme and description. Knitted knee socks contain this openwork pattern throughout the entire fabric. Schematically, the figure is divided into two parts. Openwork knitting begins with the first rapport containing 10 loops and repeating 3 times. Then the middle of the pattern of 26 loops is knitted, and after the openwork, the first rapport is knitted again 3 times. Repeat the drawing according to the last scheme after the 4th row, and the middle - after the 7th.
Pagolenok with lace is knitted with an even fabric for a length of about 16 cm. Next, the stocking is narrowed by decreasing the loops. To do this, in the first row at the indicated distance and then in each 6th row, decrease one purl loop on both sides of the openwork. Having narrowed the shaft in this way, leave 64 loops on the knitting needles. After the stockings, knit straight to the desired length and then divide the loops of 16 pieces on each needle. It should be noted that the openwork pattern should be located in the front central part of the leg.
Explanation of symbols
Each scheme of openwork patterns knitted with knitting needles consists of various icons called symbols. The above diagram and description of knitted stockings contains several elements that require explanation:
- The horizontal line (-), as in many other patterns, indicates the wrong loop.
- An empty cell speaks ofthat in this place you need to knit facial loops.
- Circle (O) - knitting a crochet.
- A triangle at a right angle to the left means that two loops must be knitted together so that the resulting loop is slanted to the left.
- The triangle turned in the opposite direction indicates that you need to knit one front from two loops.
- The line crossing 4 cells means crossing, in which the fourth loop is removed and stretched in front of the first three links and takes the place of the first. Then all loops are knitted in the front way.
When changing the openwork pattern, the decoding of the given icons does not change.
Knitting process
After you have read the description of knitted knee socks, you can get to work. On thin stocking needles, you need to dial loops in the amount of 86 pieces. Evenly divide the loops into 4 knitting needles and close in a circle. Knit a few centimeters of the fabric with an elastic band. The wider the cuff, the tighter the stockings will sit on your feet. After the gum of the required length, an openwork pattern is knitted according to the above diagram with a description. Golf can be located both under the knee and above. Therefore, the size of the shaft can be determined independently, lengthening it in knitting straight places of the fabric. After knitting the openwork, the formation of the walls and cup of the heel begins.
Creating a heel
To facilitate work with two knitting needles that do not contain the middle openwork strip of the pattern, you need to move 32loops on one needle. Next, knit the fabric with front stitch in turning rows in the amount of 32 strips, forming edge loops. Your knitted stockings should have a back heel. Next, you need to shape this zone by linking the walls and the cup. To do this, divide the loops from one knitting needle into three parts, leave the extra loops in the middle. Then you need to knit together two loops (one from the middle knitting needle and the second from the side). In this case, a constant number of loops should remain on the second tool. In our case, 12. You need to reduce the links until the extreme knitting needles are released. The heel has taken the form of a bowl.
To proceed to knitting the sole, cast on 16 loops on the side of the heel with a free knitting needle, and also move from the middle knitting needle to the lateral half of the links. Do the same on the opposite side. Thus, on the lower knitting needles, the number of loops has become more than before the formation of the heel. They also need to be shortened, creating a rise in the foot. To do this, knit the 2 loops closest to the upper knitting needles together on both sides until the original number of loops remains. Continue to knit the foot with the front surface, and on the upper knitting needles further knit an openwork pattern.
Shutting down
The knitting process ends with the formation of the toe and the closing of all loops. The length of the foot should be determined by applying or putting on the product on the leg. At a certain stage, knit two loops together on both sides. Reductions need to be madethrough one row until 16 loops remain. Then decreases are performed in each row. The remaining few loops should be pulled together with the end of the thread and made a knot. Hide the tail inside the product.
Second stocking knit similarly to the description. Knitted women's stockings can be presented to your mother or close friend. They make a nice cold weather present.
