They are enjoyed with pleasure by people of almost all ages, including toddlers and old people.

Socks can be connected from almost any thread, but products made of natural sheep's wool or goat's down are especially appreciated . Many residents of our country have repeatedly been convinced not only of their ability to warm their feet in any frost, but also in miraculous properties, thanks to which one can cure a cold and cough. It is enough to wear such socks for the night, previously having filled them with dry mustard, and the next morning there will be no trace of the common cold.

Despite the apparent simplicity, to bind socks to the forces of not every master. Even with detailed instructions to cope with this task is not easy.

If you decide to master the technique of knitting socks, try to find a consultant who can show you all the stages and give detailed recommendations. If this is not possible, take any guidance and get to work. As a rule, knitting magazines contain descriptions of various ways of making these products. The most difficult stage in the work is the heel of the sock.

If you decide to knit socks with knitting needles, the heel can be considered a peculiar indicator of the passage of the most responsible and difficult stage in their manufacture.

For work you will need five knitting needles. On four of them will be typed for work loops, and the fifth used for knitting. Dial the loops alternately, grabbing each subsequent spoke the last loop on the previous spoke. The number of loops on each of them must be the same. If you made a set of loops correctly, then you will get the right square, formed by four spokes with loops on them.

Next, proceed to alternately tie each of the sides of the square. In doing so, you knit the so-called "bootleg" of the product. First, knit a large viscous, and then move on to the normal stocking. As a sample for work, you can use any knitted sock. Knit in a circle on four spokes, you probably like it. The work is going fast, and soon you will get the first result, seeing the top of the sock.

Do not forget that in front of you is a heel toe, which, as you know, is the most responsible site. Learning to tie it, you can consider yourself a true master. If you knit from real woolen threads without the addition of synthetic fibers, when tying out such a patch as the heel of the toe, add a cotton or synthetic thread to the wool. This will not spoil the appearance of the product, and the heel of the toe will be strong. Knit it should not be on four, but on three spokes. To do this, first the loops from the two spokes are transferred to the remaining two. Then, a strip of 5-6 centimeters long is applied, depending on the size of the leg for which you knit the product.

Further, the resulting knitted fabric is divided into three spokes. The number of loops on each of them should be equal. When passing each row, one of the loops is tied to the main part of the sock. Do not forget that this is done on both sides.

Having well mastered the knitting of socks, the heel will no longer seem to you such a difficult and responsible moment, and the work will go faster. For work, you can use threads of different colors, tying on the products ornaments and patterns. Such handmade socks can be freely given to friends and acquaintances, they are not inferior to expensive souvenirs and can be considered an excellent gift.
