Even adults can't do without socks in winter. Feet should always be kept warm. Charming and at the same time very comfortable models of slipper socks can be made with knitting needles from warm yarn. Let's take a closer look at how to knit women's slippers for the whole family.
Selection of yarn and knitting needles
Yarn for socks should not only be warm, but also durable. Since the load on this product is very high.
Some threads exist specifically for creating this type of product. There is a special line, it’s called sock yarn.
If a different type of yarn was used for the work and the fibers are very soft and not so strong, then needs to be further strengthened with a cotton thread.
Knitted socks and slippers step by step with patterns
The most beautiful slipper socks that a master and even a beginner can make are presented below. A very simple model of squares is simply charming, with a detailed description and high-quality diagrams.
Slippers, garter stitch socks
Stylish and warm slippers and socks are created in simple garter stitch.As a result of a fairly thick thread and a dense pattern, they are strong and soft. To make the insole even more comfortable and reliable, it is better to knit it double.
To work you will need:
- multi thick sock yarn;
- stocking needles.
Sample
Using multi yarn, we knitted a small square and calculated the knitting density for it. But it is imperative to use a garter stitch pattern, which is used for the entire product.
Measurements
You will need to take 2 measurements from your leg. Measure foot length, width. Calculate the density of loops required for the insole.
Sole
The insole is knitted from heel to toe. Apply a garter stitch pattern from the first row. Immediately make a smooth rounding. To do this, first cast on a third of the width, and then add 2 loops in each row until the proper width is obtained. Knit the foot to the line of the beginning of the little toe and from this point begin decreasing for the toe. Decrease 1 stitch at a time. When you have the required length, simply close off all the loops. Knit two identical insoles for one sole.
Side part
First, connect the two soles and sew along the edge, basting in several stitches in the center of the product. Cast on loops along the edge of the sole to the line of the beginning of the little finger. Knit 8 rows in straight and reverse rows. In the last two rows, make a reduction of 3 loops in each row (make reductions along the heel to get the proper bend of the product).
Sock
Start the sock from the very tip. For the first row, cast on 2 loops and, to obtain an angle, add 2 loops along the central part. In each row, hook the loops along the edge of the toe of the sole.
Assembly
Sew the sides and toe of the slipper. If desired, you can make a beautiful border by using a crochet hook and a crawfish pattern.
Slippers made from squares for a beginner, knitted
Cute slippers with original squares can be knitted in a few hours. Very beautiful and comfortable. But the most important thing is that the product does not require loop counting. It is enough to knit a few squares and sew them, and the model is ready.
To work you will need:
- yarn for socks (preferably two colors);
- knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread (can be knitted with regular ones).
Square
The squares should be small in size. More precisely, you can adjust them to size if you use a small geometric figure. Measure your ankle circumference. Divide the indicator by 2 and subtract 1 cm. Draw a segment of the resulting length on a piece of paper. Using a right angle, complete the sides of an isosceles triangle. Then measure the side and this will be the side of the square.
Sample
First knit a small sample using garter stitch. Calculate the knitting density for it, and count the loops for one square. Knit 8 squares according to the measurements and loops received for one slipper. It is better to use contrasting threads for squares.
Assembly
Sew the squares as shown in the photo. You can simply bend the top ones and you will get chic and very comfortable slippers.
Warm slippers, knitted socks with voluminous elastic
The original model will look very cute even on a large leg. It's all because of the wide elastic band and a very short sock with a cute little tangle pattern.
To work you will need:
- yarn of two colors for socks;
- stocking needles.
Measurements
Take two measurements from the leg and additionally knit a small square using the purl stitch. Determine the knitting density for the yarn.
Important! The socks are knitted in two threads, so it is necessary to knit the sample in two threads at once.
Sole
Knit 2 insoles using purl stitch. To do this, pick up a third with purl stitch, and then make additions in each row until the required width is obtained. Knit to the middle of the foot, and then decrease by 2 loops in every 4 rows. Knit to the required length and stop knitting. Just close the row. Align the insoles, and sew along the edge and in the center of the insoles. It is better to sew with face fabrics so that there is a purl pattern on the outside of the sock as well as on the inside.
Sides
Cast on loops in the round along the insole and continue knitting without adding or decreasing loops. Use a tangle pattern from the first row, knit in two threads and insert a contrasting thread through each row. Knit 8 rows and switch to the sock.
Sock
From the central 6 loops of the sock, knit with purl stitch, then gradually grab the sides towards the heel. Make additions in the first 3 rows to achieve the required width. Knit 2 cm short of the midline.
Rubber
Combine the sock loops and the side loops (remaining). Using a putka pattern, knit about 6 rows, similar to the beginning of side knitting. Next, switch to the elastic pattern and complete it with white thread. To make the elastic band thick, it is better to use 4 threads. Knit about 10 rows.
Harness
Tie a contrasting thread around the sock and make three stripes along the elastic band of the sock.
The chic socks are ready.
These are not all the fashionable ideas for making slippers and socks.
Let's try and experiment, and maybe tomorrow you will become the new author who will provide a master class on creating a stunning model of slippers and socks with knitting needles.
