One sock should get two identical parts, they are cut out in turn from the main fabric (2 pcs.), Lining (2 pcs.) And padding polyester (2 pcs.).

Christmas sock (how to sew):

Christmas sock knitting

In order to knit a New Year's sock, you need to prepare several colors of yarn. Preferably red and white, but you can choose other colors. As well as knitting needles for sock knitting.

Instructions for knitting socks.

• Socks are knitted on five needles, where there are loops on four.
• Begin to knit in the round from top to toe.
• Cast on the required number of stitches and distribute them evenly over four needles.
• Knit an elastic band in a circle, alternating the front and back loops. Its length is no more than 6 cm.
• The length of the toe to the heel is knitted completely with facial loops.
• The heel is made on two knitting needles from half of the loops, while the second one is not touched. They make a compacted facial knitting up to 6 cm high.
• To shape the heel, make a descent. The loops are evenly divided into three parts, if there are extra ones, they are attached to the center.
• The central part continues to knit further and gradually attach loops to it withside.
• In order for the descent of the loops to end from the front side, it always starts from the inside. Knit with 2/3 purl stitches. Then take the last loop from the center and the first from the third part, knit them together with a purl.
• Turn the sock and knit on the right side, while at the turn the first loop is simply removed and not knitted.
• Knit together the last loop of the central part and the first loop of 1 part. The first loop is removed (do not knit), the next ones are knitted.
• Turn the sock again and do the same manipulations.
• Continue knitting until all side loops are closed.
• Next, loops are cast on from the side parts of the heel, three loops from two rows (one loop from each second row and one additionally).
• Switch to circular knitting. To do this, they take: the loops of the central heel part and from the remaining knitting needles, again recruited from the lateral parts of the heel. Knit a row of facial viscous.
• Then start decreasing stitches. At the end of the first needle, the 2nd and 3rd loops are knitted together. Do the same on the fourth needle. Do this until the original number of loops remains.
• The foot of the sock is knitted in the round in knit to the bone of the thumb.
• Begin to knit the toe of the sock, decreasing the loops. From the end of the first needle (in every second row) 2 + 3 stitches knit together.
• Such decreases are made in each row until four loops remain, they are pulled together and secured with a thread.

Sock size will depend on yarn chosen.

You will need:

• yarn in bright colors;

• I row. Make a loop and knit 6 columns in it. This will be the base for the circle. It turned out six loops.
• II row. In each loop, two columns are knitted so that the number increases to 12 loops.
• III row. In every second loop, two more columns are made, for a total of 18 loops. The rest knit one column at a time.
• IV row. No addition.
• V row. In every third loop, 2 columns (total - 24 loops). The rest in one column.
• VI row. No addition.
• VII row. In each 4th loop, 2 columns (total 30 loops).
• Thus, the toe of the sock turned out. You can reduce or increase the rows.
• VIII row and beyond. Knit in the round without adding a foot of the desired length.
• Stop where the shaft should start. They begin to knit not in a circle, but like a canvas, in one and the other direction. Thus, the length of the foot is knitted.
