Warm wool socks, knitted with their own hands, are always better than bought on the market. They put their soul, imagination. In knitting socks it is allowed to realize a variety of fantasies! It’s easy to knit them, but some difficulty appears when knitting the heel for the toe.

Instruction manual

1. For the greatest knitting strength, tie one more to the core wool thread - kapron. Divide the entire knitting fabric into two equal parts. Continue to knit only one half of the fabric, which you decide to make with the heel. For comfort, discard all the loops of the 2-spoke spokes of the heel half of the canvas by one. Tie the heel height.

2. The height of the heel is determined as follows: the number of edge (edge) loops of the canvas of the heel should be equal to the initial number of loops of one spoke. For example, if at the beginning of knitting a sock there were 15 loops on the entire spoke, then the number of hem on the knitted canvas of the heel should also be 15, that is, 30 rows should be connected.

3. Stop knitting. Pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to finish knitting the heel height without fail only with the front row. Fit the heel by lowering the mid loops of the heel. To do this, mentally divide the knitted canvas of the heel into three equal parts. If the loops as a whole without a remainder are not divided by three, then add the resulting remainder to the middle. Say, if there are 32 loops on the spoke, then 10 should be left along the edges, and 12 loops should be taken as the middle.

4. Connect the 1st row with the decrease with the help of the purl loops in the following way: knit the first part of the side loops and all the loops of the middle, except for one. Knit it together with the first loop of the 2nd marginal part.

5. Knit the 2nd row by analogy with the first: knit side loops, but remember that one loop is not tight, after that the middle part, except for the last. Knit this last loop with the first loop of the other side of the heel. Alternate the 1st and 2nd rows, thus, until only the middle loops of the calcaneal canvas remain on the spoke. Continue to knit the heel at the toe until you equalize the length of its fabric with the length of the fabric of the middle part.

Knitting is not only fascinating and interesting, but also suitable. DIY hand-made socks are warm and practical. In order to tie the heel of the sock, you need to know the basic theses of knitting socks.

You will need

knitting needles;
warp thread;
needlework skills.

Instruction manual

1. Socks invariably begin to knit with elastic. On five knitting needles gain the required number of loops. Knitting on five knitting needles is called tubular or circular. The number of loops should be equal to the required foot size. In order to take off the size, it is necessary to measure the ankle and multiply the result by three. The number of loops should always be divided by four.

2. Having tied an elastic band, form a heel. To do this, divide the knitting into 4 parts. The loops of the 3rd and 4th knitting needles will not be involved in knitting the heel. For comfort, bandage everything on one knitting needle. The next step is knitting a straight web. It is necessary to bind with stocking viscous. This will be the height of the heel.

3. The number of edge loops is equal to the number on one spoke. Start shaping your heel. Reduce the loops inside.

4. Divide the loops into 3 parts, if larger, add to the middle part. Tie the side loops (wrong side), then the middle, reducing one loop each.

5. Knit the last stitches (wrong side) together with the stitch of the other side.

6. The edge loop must be removed and pulled to the spoke. Next, knit all the loops of the middle part.

7. Knit together with the first side and so repeat all the rows to the end. Everything should end on knitting the front row. At the end, only the middle row loops will remain.

Cotton fabric will not be superfluous if wear is to be reduced.

When the cold comes, we often think about how it would be excellent to wrap our legs in warm woolen socks in order to always feel comfortable and warm. Many of us, at the first signs of a cold snap, go to the store and purchase socks. But you can tie the socks yourself. There is nothing difficult in this, if you have knitting skills, then you can easily and quickly tie yourself warm socks that will warm you in frosty weather. When knitting wear Dozens of tasks with correct knitting of the heel often appear. It turns out that we will see step by step how to do this:

You will need

Woolen threads, 5 knitting needles, kapron thread for adding to the heel.

Instruction manual

1. For knitting, prepare five knitting needles. Depending on the density of knitting, on average you will need 100-150 gr. wool. If the socks will be decorated, then the thread will need a little more.

2. In a circle from right to left, knit on the outside 4-5 cm with 1x1x elastic. After tying the elastic band (cuff), knit another 5 cm. (To the ankle) with stocking. Tie it later heel .

3. Divide the knitting into two equal parts and knit loops only on 2 knitting needles: 3rd and 4th (loops that are on the 1st and 2nd knitting needles do not participate in knitting).

4. For work comfort, first knit stitches from 2 knitting needles to one (from the 3rd and 4th). After that, tie a straight canvas - the height of the heel. Determine the height of the fabric as follows: the number of extreme loops from one of the edges is equal to the number of loops on one spoke.

5. Shape the heel by lowering the loops. Divide the loops, including the extreme, into three equal parts (if the resulting number is not divided by three without remainder, then add the remainder to the middle part).

6. Start knitting the 1st row of the wrong side of the fabric. Combine the loops of the first side part, then all the loops of the middle part. Tie the last loop together with the wrong loop of the 2nd side. Leave the remaining loops untied.

7. Now knit the 2nd row with the front loops (front side of the fabric). Remove and tighten the last loop. Combine all the loops of the middle part, in addition to the last. Tie it with the adjacent loop of the first side.

8. Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows so that all the loops of the side parts are knitted with the extreme loops of the middle part. Complete the work by knitting the front row. Only middle loops will remain on the spoke. If you do everything positively, then easily and quickly knit heel wear . When the heel is formed, add kapron or other strong thread to the woolen thread. When heel knit, tear this thread and continue knitting only woolen.

Note!
This section contains knitted socks, socks, leggings, knee socks and booties. There are a lot of knitting presentations, from primitive to difficult, a knitting pattern is attached to the entire knitted model of socks. By the way, many people call booties slippers, but in.

Useful advice
Socks are knitted in a circle on 5 knitting needles, traditionally hosiery knitting, starting with an ornamented cuff or elastic band. Depending on the density of knitting, for one pair of women's socks, 100-120 g of yarn is needed, for men - 120-150 g and for children - 70-80 g (if the pattern is executed, the thread consumption will be slightly larger). Payment.

Yarn: 50% wool, 50% acrylic, thickness 250 m / 100 g. Yarn consumption: 70 g. Tools: knitting needles No. 2.5 for elastic and No. 3 for basic knitting, knitting needle. Patterns: front surface, gum 1x1. Knitting density: front surface 2.2 loops per 1 cm. Size: 37 (24)

We bring to your attention a simple way to knit socks on two knitting needles. Socks sit well on the foot and are comfortable to wear. This model of socks with a square (straight) heel. Such a heel allows you to tie socks on any rise of the foot: from low to high. Knitting socks on two needles are loved by beginning knitters, since this method is simple and does not require much experience. Nevertheless, if you picked up knitting needles for the first time, we recommend that you look at the basics of knitting.

A video on knitting socks on two knit needles at the end of this page.

Loop calculation

To calculate the loops, you need the following measurements: foot length and. The girth of the foot in the metatarsus (bundles) can be determined by the calculation method: it is equal to the length of the foot minus 1 cm for a wide leg or minus 2 cm for a narrow leg.

Note: You can also use the size tables for knitting socks: children's sizes, adult sizes.

The number of loops that you need to put on the knitting needles is equal to the girth of the foot in the metatarsus, multiplied by divided by 2 (because first we knit half the sock). We get: (23 x 2.2): 2 \u003d 25.

Working process

We needle 25 loops and we knit a cuff the desired width (11 cm) with an elastic band 1x1.

Further go to knitting heels. We knit the heel with the front surface. The height of the heel is on average 1/4 of the length of the foot. The heel height can also be determined as follows: the number of rows should be equal to the number of loops on the spoke minus 2 if the number is even and minus 3 if the number is odd. We get: 25 - 3 \u003d 22 rows. We knit 21 row with front stitch, and in the 22 row we begin to knit a cup of heel.

Mentally divide the loops by 3. We get 8 - 9 - 8 loops. If there is 1 loop in the remainder, we attach it to the middle part. If 2 - one at a time to the side parts. Starting from row 22 we reduce the loops. We knit 8 loops of the first part, then 8 loops of the second (middle) part, and we knit the 9th loop of the second part together with the loop of the third (side) part of the wrong loop. We turn the work to the front side. We remove the first loop, we knit 8 loops of the middle part, and we knit the 9th loop together with the loop of the side of the front. Again, we turn the work, remove the first loop, knit 8 loops of the middle part and knit the 9th loop together with the loop of the side of the wrong side. And so on, we knit only the loops of the middle part, attaching the loops of the side parts, until we all attach them. 9 stitches should remain on the spoke.

Now start knitting the middle bottom of the sock.

After knitting the heel, the number of loops was greater than the calculated one. Extra loops should be reduced. The area in which we cut the loops is called the wedge of lifting the foot.

Universal knit wedge lifting pattern

1st row:

The first row of the middle bottom of the sock

2 row:

3, 5, 7 row:

4, 6, 8 row:

Thus, we reduced the loops on the wedge of raising the foot, knitting 2 loops together at the end of each row and the estimated number of loops was 25 on the spoke.

Note: if you have a high rise in the foot, you can knit in front of two rows with decreases of 2 additional rows without decreases. Thus, you will provide greater freedom in the area of \u200b\u200blifting the foot. At the same time, the lifting height can be adjusted: 2 additional rows can be connected only before the first decreases, before the first and second, or before all three.

Pattern of knitting a wedge for a high rise in the foot

1st row: raise the left side loops from the edge loops (11 loops). You can catch the edge loops on both walls or on one wall facing the front side.

2 row: knit with purl loops. Raise the loop (11 loops) of the right side of the heel.

3, 7, 11 row: facial loops;

4, 8, 12 row: back loops;

5, 9, 13 row: at the end of the row in front of the edge loop, we knit 2 loops together front with an inclination to the left;

6, 10, 14 row: at the end of the row in front of the edge loop, we knit 2 loops together on the wrong side.

We continue to knit the middle lower part of the sock to the toe. You can try on a sock and knit to the end of the little finger. Can be determined by calculation: the toe is approximately the length of the heel cup. Subtracting the length of the toe and the length of the cup (5 + 5 \u003d 10) from the length of the foot (24), we find that the middle part is 14 cm or 44 rows.

Next, we knit a toe. We reduce the loops in the same way as on the wedge of raising the foot, knitting 2 loops together in front of the edge ones at the end of each row. When 1/3 of the loops (9) remain on the spoke, we begin to knit the upper part of the toe, while attaching the edge loops of the lower part. In the front rows from the hem loop of the lower part we knit the front loop, in the wrong ones - the wrong loop. We grab the edge loop wall facing the wrong side. We do not remove the first loop of the row, as usual, but we knit the front one in the front rows and the wrong one in the wrong ones. This first loop should be knitted more tightly. Due to the knitting of the edge, the loops of the upper part of the toe are added. So we add loops until the calculated number of loops becomes on the spoke (25).

We also knit the upper middle part of the sock by lifting the loops from the hem, but so that the number of loops remains calculated, at the end of each row we reduce the loops in the same way as before, knitting 2 loops together at the end of each row.

Important: the corner loop should be knitted for both walls so that the hole does not turn out too large.

To knit a straight classic heel, you need 5 stocking knitting needles, four of which form a square, and the fifth is a working one, on which a set of loops takes place. Having connected the booties with the cuff of the required length, proceed to the most difficult stage. Having mastered the skills of knitting in a straight line, it will be easier for you to learn how to work in other patterns.

To knit the wall of the heel, with the help of knitting needles No. 1 and No. 4, you need to knit a cloth - the required number of rows is smooth with facial loops. They should be two less than the number of loops (the sum on the two knitting needles is 28, the rows should be 26).
In order to properly tie the lower part, you need to calculate the number of loops, divide by a multiple of three. If the number n is divisible, then the middle part will be larger (11 + 12 + 11).
The middle part is knit with a smooth surface: the front side - the front side, the wrong side - the wrong side. Side with each row should decrease, as the extreme loops are knitted together.
The execution of the lower part is as follows: 1st — knits with the facial ones, in the middle part the last loop is knitted together with the crossed facial one, the work is unfurled; The 2nd wrong side begins with the fact that the extreme loop is removed as the wrong one, the middle is knitted with the wrong ones, the extreme one with the next also the wrong one, turn over; 3rd - matches the pattern, like the 1st. Further, the scheme is repeated until only the middle part remains after assembly.

Knitting socks with heel "Boomerang"

Having tied a shin in a circle on four knitting needles, you can proceed to the heel of the Boomerang type. It is slightly shorter than traditional. For the heel you will need another extra spoke. Double loops do not knit.

According to the Boomerang pattern, the heel is tied only with the front ones. If the shin is knitted with an elastic band, then before starting the rounding, you need to go to the surface, making reductions throughout the row by 2 loops.
Divide the total number of loops into three equal parts, or by adding 1-2 extra ones to the central part that are left over after division.
1st fits with all facial.
2nd — turning knitting, double loop once. It is important that the loop and thread are tightened tightly, then large holes will not form. To do this, insert the needle into the loop and grab the thread located in front of it. Remove together while pulling the thread back tight. Knit purl. After completing the series, you need to turn the job.
3rd - stretch a double loop. Further, all - facial. Double loop. Flip over.
4th — repeat as 2nd. Further according to the scheme, until the loops remain only in the middle part.

The method of knitting a stepped heel at the toe

The stepped heel is knitted in the same way as in previous cases, using the first and fourth knitting needles, temporarily leaving the second and third aside.

For the back wall of the loop from the first and fourth knitting needles, throw it on one and knit with the front surface.
With reinforced viscous, we begin to create a stepped heel in several stages.
1st - facial. We remove one loop from the wrong side, we take the thread back, knit the front loop. Flip over.
2nd - wrong side. Flip over.
3rd — alternation of one facial loop, remove one from the inside.
4th — purl. Next, repeat from the first to fourth row.
The second step is knitted as follows: the last dialed loop of the edge and the first deferred are knitted together with a facial broach. Having turned the knitting needles with thread, remove the first loop as the wrong one, then knit the wrong ones. Continue this way until all the loops of the first and second steps are connected at a seam.

Double viscous heel knitting

You can increase the wear resistance of knitted socks, not only by adding an additional thread, but by applying in practice a special way to knit a double heel, increasing its thickness.

As in all cases, knit the back wall with smooth stitches in reverse and straight rows. Having created the desired height, stop on the front row, begin to form a cup.
Divide all the loops into three parts equally or more on the center.
On the wrong side: the left loop, the middle, the last from the center are sewn on the wrong side together with the first loop on the right side. Flip over.
Front row: the middle, edge and last loops are knitted together with the side, located nearby. After each row, the work needs to be turned over.
Having knitted all the side loops, you will close the formed cup. Then you can proceed to vyvyazyvanie wedge lifting and feet.

How to tie a heel on toes for children

Knitting socks. Double heel.

One way to knit heels in socks is french heel.

If the sole width is 20 loops, then you need to divide the loops into 3 needles 7x6x7

We knit the middle of the heel 7 rows up + 7 loop in a row goes to the fourth knitting needle.

Using the hook, make another loop under the fifth spoke.

We knit perpendicular to the middle of the heel.

We connect the heel and the sole in the process of knitting the heel.

As a result, the heel should remain on three spokes.

We knit a sock lift.

Skillful pens

It is always nice to wear warm and cozy socks, knitted by a grandmother or mother. But it’s even more pleasant to knit this item of clothing yourself. The information in this article will help you learn how to knit high-quality socks, even if you have never had knitting needles in your hands. Let's start with the selection of knitting needles.

Knitting tool

There are several varieties of knitting needles, they are: straight, hosiery and circular. From the name it’s clear that hosiery is suitable for knitting socks. Usually it is 5 knitting needles, the size of which depends on the yarn. We will knit with number 3.

Determine the size

The importance of determining the size of the sock. It is necessary to find out the diameter of the legs in the widest place. The resulting centimeters must be multiplied by the horizontal density of knitting. It may be different, but we will take 1.7. The size of the leg on which we knit a sock is 23.5 cm, so 23.5 * 1.7 \u003d 40. 40 loops we will dial.

Instruction manual

So, in order to tie the socks, we need:

wool yarn 100 gr;
5 hosiery needles number 3.

In this article, the easiest way to knit will be considered - round, from top to bottom. This method has received great recognition among needlewomen, not only for its simplicity, but also for the convenient and comfortable socks, which are then obtained.

Instruction for knitting wool socks for beginners:

We have already determined the size of our sock, so we should dial 40 loops (you use your size), dividing them by 4. It turns out 10 loops on four knitting needles. In order to make the explanation clearer, visually number them.

We knit four stitches of the first knitting needle together with the end of the material remaining on the 4th knitting needle from the gathered stitches, thereby closing the ring so that it fits more tightly. With such an elastic band you need to knit 1 * 1 11cm, that is, the upper part of the sock. Knit should be the main front and wrong loops.

If you use any others, then there is a chance that the sock will be twisted. Provided that it was easy for you to do this job, you can decorate the socks with trim strips. You just need to knit three rows of loops with the main color, three with the other, three with the main, three with the other. Here is how it will look.

Knitting the heel of the stocking slightly different from the previous one. The loops on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles are not touching yet. But we transfer all 20 loops from the first two knitting needles to one and knit 6 cm of ordinary viscous stockings. There is also such an equality: the number of edge loops of the whole product is equal to the number of loops on one spoke, subtracting one. Knowing that one edge loop is formed in two rows, we calculate the height of the heel: (10-1) * 2 \u003d 18. Eighteen rows and there are approximately six cm.

We pass to the center. First we finish the knitting of the heel with the seventeenth facial row. And in the eighteenth row, the wrong side, we begin to reduce the loops in the shape of the heel. To do this, visually divide all the loops into three parts. Twenty is not completely divided by 3, so the remaining divide between the two side parts. It turns out that there are 6 loops in the center, and seven in the side. If you did not get two, but one loop, then attach it to the center. Now the most interesting thing: when the loops in the center you continue to knit further, then the side loops gradually decrease, adding them to the center. To complete, we knit the last loop of the center from the inside, capturing the first loop of the third part. We unfold the product with the front side. We remove the first loop as an edge for the wall, the thread behind the product, we move the spoke from front to back, that is, in the direction away from us. The last loop of the center on the front side must be knitted with the first loop of the side of the front. Please note: these loops must be tied to the back wall. Turn the product over again.

We remove the edge loop for the front wall, the thread is already in front of the product, we move the spoke from ourselves. So further we knit only the loop of the center, reducing the sides, as long as they have loops. As a result, only ten loops of the center remain. Heel knitted. So it should look.

Getting down to knitting the middle part of the sock, until the loops “on the fingers” are reduced. With a spoke, where there were loops of the middle part, you need to collect loops from the edges on the front side of the stocking. From each edge loop, we pull out 1 loop, resulting in nine loops. We knit the loops with the facial method on the next pair of knitting needles. We pull out an unoccupied knitting needle from the edge 8 stitches. The loops of the middle part should be distributed equally between the first and second knitting needles, that is, 3. On the first spoke we get 11 loops (8 + 3), on the second 12 loops (9 + 3), on the remaining two knitting needles ten loops are obtained. If you got an odd number in the middle part of the heel, it’s okay to give 1 loop to the first spoke, thereby leveling the quantity.

Next step knit a series of facial stitches around. Need to reduce the "extra" loops in the first two knitting needles. We knit two loops behind the back wall, having inverted the first loop in advance, making a decrease on the first spoke at the beginning of the row. On the second, on the contrary, at the end of the row, knitting in two by the main method. And at the end we get ten loops on each spoke.
And finally tie the toe around about fifteen centimeters, to the end of the little finger. Let’s get rid of the loops on the toe, where the fingers are. For the first and third knitting needles we knit the first loop, and the second and third knit together the front for the back wall, before turning the 2nd loop. For the remaining knitting needles, we knit two penultimate loops together with the front, just drag the last one. This process is carried out alternating a circle so that half of the loops do not remain on each spoke, in this example 5. After this, we make a reduction on each circle so that two loops remain on each spoke. Tighten the threads and fix everything. The product is ready.

"DUTCH" FIVE.

(Example - 72 loops in the front row).

Divide the number of loops in a row by four. After that, we knit the first quarter (the total number of loops) on one knitting needle, skip the last quarter of the row to the other end of the same knitting needle, these loops are for the heel; divide the other two quarters on two knitting needles and leave them - they are for lifting the foot. For the heel, we do not always knit the first loop, we knit the rows with the back and front loops alternately the number of rows equal to the number of loops on the spoke (i.e. 36 rows), the last row is the wrong ones. After that, turn the heel, 22 faces, 1 broach, turn, * 9 out, 2 out wm, turn, 9 faces, 1 broach, turn, repeat from * until all the loops are connected. The last row is the wrong one. We knit half the loops back, thereby completing the heel. We move all the lifting loops to one spoke. Having taken another knitting needle, we knit the rest of the heel loops and knit 18 loops on the side of the heel; from the second knitting needles knit lifting; from the third knit, we knit 18 loops on the side of the heel and the first half of the loops of the heel. We continue to knit already round to the end of the foot.

"FRENCH" FIVE.

(Example 68 stitches in the front row).

We divide the loops in the same way as for the Dutch heel. For the heel, we do not always knit the first loop, we knit the rows on the wrong and the front alternately the number of rows equal to the number of loops on the needle (i.e., 34 rows), the last row is the wrong ones. After that, we turn the heel, 20 persons, 2 persons vm, rotation, 7 out, 2 out of vm, rotation, 8 persons, 2 persons vm, rotation, 9 out, 2 out of vm, rotation, 10 persons, 2 persons vm, rotation ; we continue in this way until all the heel loops are on the same spoke again. We knit another half of the loops, thereby completing the heel. We shift all the lifting loops in one row again. Having taken an additional knitting needle, we knit the rest of the heel loops and knit up 17 loops on the side of the heel; from the second knitting needles knit lifting; from the third knitting needles we knit 17 loops on the other side of the heel and the first half of the heel loops. We continue to knit already round to the end of the foot.

Knit heel with lifting wedge

The two main types of such a heel are the usual square heel (it’s Danish) and round (usually found in Western descriptions). The principle of their knitting is not tied to tablets and therefore they can be connected on any number of loops;)

Square heel

english dutch heel

The name, as you can see, comes from the rectangle / square that forms the rotation of the heel. English name - dutch heel

Description of knitting according to the book of Margarita Maximova. In the example, a sock with 40 loops

Heel formation.

Heel wall

Divide the knitting into 2 equal parts and then knit only the loops of two knitting needles: the 3rd and 4th. Loops of the 1st and 2nd knitting needles do not participate in heel formation. To make it more convenient to work, first knit the stitches from two knitting needles to one (from the 3rd and 4th) and then knit a straight stocking-knit fabric - the height of the heel (Fig. 339). 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 one spoke. In this example, there should be 10 hem (20 rows). After this, stop knitting, ending it with the front row.

Heel turn

Now the canvas needs to be shaped like a heel. This is achieved by reducing the loops inside the canvas. Mentally divide the loops, including the edge, into 3 equal parts. If the number is not divisible by 3, then add the remainder to the middle part. In this case, distribute the loops as follows: 6 loops for the sides and 8 loops for the middle. Start decreasing:

1st row (wrong side of the fabric) - wrong loops: knit 6 loops of the 1st side, then all the loops of the middle part, except the last loop - knit it together with the adjacent loop of the 2nd side (5 loops 2- th side part remained untied). Turn knitting. 2nd row (front side of the canvas) - front loops: remove the edge and tightly pull to the spoke, then tie all the loops of the middle part, except the last loop, - knit it together with the adjacent loop of the 1st side of the front for the back walls. Turn knitting.

Repeat the 1st and 2nd rows until all the loops of the side parts are crocheted with the extreme loops of the middle part. Work should end with knitting the front row. Only the loops of the middle part (8 loops) remained on the spoke.

When the heel is formed, a nylon or other strong thread can be attached to the woolen thread. Having finished knitting the heel, the kapron thread is torn off and the knitting is continued with a woolen thread.

Wedge lift

Knitting a sock to the decrease on the toe. Knit this part of the sock again in a circle with face loops. Begin the work as follows: with the knitting needle on which the loops of the middle part are located, draw new loops on the front side of the toe from the edge heels - from each edge one edge, only 10 loops (Fig. 340). Next, knit 10 loops on the 1st knitting needle with a free knitting needle, then 10 loops on the 2nd knitting needle. Now, with a free knitting needle, draw new loops from the edge of the fabric (as many as you dialed from the opposite) and knit half the loops of the middle part with it (4 loops). In the work again there were 4 knitting needles, and on the 3rd and 4th there must be more loops than on the 1st and 2nd. Extra loops are needed so that the toe does not constrain the leg lift. Now knit in a circle and at the same time reduce the extra loops on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles, knitting them 2 together on the wrong side through 2 rows (circles). So that the thickenings from the diminution do not interfere with walking, do them from the edges of the foot, i.e. at the beginning of the 3rd knitting needle and at the end of the 4th. When they have the original number of loops (10 each), stop the knitting and knit sock to the end of the little finger (or to the beginning of the toe)
