Advantages and disadvantages of fishnet socks
Will not consider yarn, since you can choose a variety of yarns for such a product. It may not be a brand and behave well in the wash. It is better to pay attention to the canvas. There is one point that not everyone will like and it, of course, can be attributed to the disadvantages - this is the thickness. In fact, if you use openwork all over the sock, then this mesh will not be very comfortable on the sole. There will be discomfort when the bumpy openwork and the sole come into contact. This can be easily corrected and a uniform pattern can be used for the sole, where there will be no large holes or thick elements in the pattern.

We knit openwork socks with our own hands: job description
Cute DIY socks are made using two patterns and a hook. The model is made of iris thread and is suitable for a summer walk. A very dense thread will prevent the socks from unraveling. The canvas conducts air well and your feet will be comfortable even on a hot day. The shell at the base of the model very nicely complements the toe and heel, which are made with a single canvas of single crochets.
For work use:
- white iris thread;
- hook according to the thickness of the thread.
Stage: measurements. First take three measurements from the leg. Measure the circumference above the ankle joint, then measure the ankle joint with a transverse line from the middle of the heel along the circumference of the joint.
The length of the leg is well determined by the formula: (shoe size:3)*2.
You can circle your foot on a piece of paper and draw a line along its entire length and draw perpendiculars from the outermost parts of the toes and heel. This segment must be equal to the number according to the formula.
Stage: sample. Carefully study the proposed openwork pattern and practice its execution on a small square. Use this tester to determine the knitting density of the pattern.To do this, you just need to insert a ruler along the line of the row and count how many elements fall into 10 cm. Also count how many rows fall into 10 cm of the ruler. These two numbers make up the knitting density of this fabric. Using these indicators, each measurement will need to be translated and the product can begin.
Stage: toe. This beautiful sock starts at the toe. To do this, knit circular rows with single crochets. Follow the diagram and make additions as shown on it.
Stage: description. After knitting the toe, you need to make the transition to the main openwork knitting pattern. To do this, make the appropriate additions to obtain the required number of loops in the repeat. Next, knit according to size to the line of the beginning of the heel. The heel is also knitted according to the toe pattern, but only in the opposite direction. To do this, you need to skip half the circle when knitting the openwork. Next, pick up the missing loops with a chain of air loops and then use them in the next round. Complete several rows and return to the heel.
Stage: heel. The heel needs to be knitted in the resulting hole for it. But not with additions, but with decreases. The toe pattern is suitable for this.
Stage: elastic band. After knitting the heel, return to the main circles of the openwork. Knit the required number of rows. In the last rows it is necessary to make decreases according to the pattern of the canvas. This is very important so that the sock does not fly off the foot and does not put pressure on the blood vessels.
This model does not require decorations. Since the socks have a beautiful shell edge. But those who wish can do something on one side of each product, if it does not interfere.
How to wear and care for fishnet socks
