Women's crochet socks

Socks knitted from warm yarn are so pleasant to wear at home during the cold season. Women's models can not only be knitted, but also crocheted, and the number of styles is huge - you can choose one to suit every taste. Well, how to do this in the simplest way can be found in the article below.

Features of choosing threads and hooks

When choosing threads, you need to consider several parameters:

• how warm the model should be in the end;
• reaction to yarn, especially for wool, as there are people who experience skin irritation when in contact with its fibers;
• the quality of the yarn - it should not be dyed, otherwise paint may remain on the skin after wearing.

We knit simple women's socks

Crocheting socks is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Most needlewomen knit on knitting needles, but the crochet hook is a rarer guest in the hands of lovely ladies. Although this is completely undeserved, since with its help you can create very beautiful models.

Important! If you have very minimal experience in knitting, then you should start experimenting with the simplest styles so as not to be disappointed in the process and enjoy the final result.

Before starting work, it is worth considering the model - it can be monochromatic or consist of several colors. You should also decide what height the product will be.. Since the amount of yarn needed for knitting depends on this.

After this is done, you should prepare all the necessary materials and tools. To knit socks you will need:

• yarn;
• hook - its number must correspond to the thickness of the thread; the number of the tool is always recommended on the yarn label.

The hook is thinner for cases when you need a tighter knitting - this can be a toe, heel or elastic band.

Important! When choosing yarn, it is also worth considering that pure wool or mixed fiber (a combination of wool and synthetics) is suitable for winter socks. For spring or autumn models, you can take cotton.

Knitting technology step by step

Here is one of the options for the simplest sock model that even the most beginners can do. Required yarn – 120 g.

Description of work:

• the progress of work begins from the toe; to do this, you need to cast on a chain of 10 air loops and close it in a ring;
• perform 1 lifting stitch to begin the next row;
• then we knit single crochets in a circle in each loop, starting from the second;
• since the toe is the narrowest part, in order for the toe to expand it is necessary to increase loops in each subsequent row - do this according to the diagram presented;
• the diagram shows only the toe part, in which it is necessary to knit increases, then the model is knitted in a straight line until the fabric reaches the instep and heel part;
• then, having reached the instep, you need to leave approximately 20-24 loops on the heel part and knit them in a straight line to a height of about 3 cm, in accordance with the presented pattern for the heel;
• this distance should be enough to reach the edge of the heel;
• then you should knit according to the pattern shown in the figure;
• after this, you should continue to knit in circular rows to the desired height of the product;
• in order to prevent the upper part from slipping when worn, it is necessary to perform the so-called elastic band - To do this, just change the hook to a thinner one and knit several rows with single crochets more tightly than all the previous knitting.

This diagram and model is the simplest, but it allows beginners to get an idea of ​​the technique of execution. In order to diversify it, you can simply take several colors of thread and knit a striped model, and combine it in any way.
