So, we knitted with you an elastic band - in other words - sock cuffs, about 7-10 cm high on 48 loops. Then we knitted 2-5 cm with facial loops, after which we can proceed to the next stage. How to knit the heel of a sock with knitting needles, starting from its straight section, we will now consider. This section is knitted on two knitting needles - the first and fourth (24 loops).

It is easy to determine the first knitting needle by the end of the thread. She always remains with a tail on the first knitting needle, from the beginning of a set of loops. On the first and fourth needles, we will knit a straight fabric: straight and reverse rows. Not in a circle, but with front and back loops, constantly turning the working side towards you. How to knit the heel of a sock with knitting needles for the 38th shoe size? For this size, the heel height will be approximately 5 centimeters.

How to knit a heel?

On the first knitting needle we knit everything with facial loops.

The last - edging -purl. We turn the product over with the wrong side towards us and remove the first loop untied, we knit the wrong loops along the row, reaching the edge where the next knitting needle will be the fourth. We continue the purl row on the fourth needle.

If desired, you can knit the fourth knitting needle (12 loops) - with the first knitting needle, leaving only three knitting needles in work, for convenience. We knit the last loop of the fourth knitting needle - edge - we knit the wrong side. We turn the fabric over, transfer the edge loop to the right knitting needle without knitting. We knit the front row of 24 loops - edge along the wrong side, do not forget - wrong side. We knit 5 cm of fabric in this way.

Now about how to knit the heel, or rather its side parts. We divide 24 loops into three parts of 8 loops: the central and 2nd parts of the side surfaces. The first 8 loops are lateral, the second 8 are central and the remaining 8 are again lateral. We combine the loops of the first and fourth knitting needles on one, for convenience.

Formation

We will knit the extreme loops of the fabric of the central part of the heel together with one loop of the side surface on each side. If the number of loops of the canvas is not divided into 3 parts without a trace, then we add the remaining one loop to the central one

parts of the heel, if there are two left, then distribute them one by one on each side surface. The number of loops on the side surfaces should be the same. We always remove the first loop from the knitting needle without knitting.

We turn the work to ourselves with the wrong side and again, removing the first loop untied,we knit eight loops, taking into account the removed. We knit seven loops, and we knit the 8th from the middle part from the wrong side with the first of the eight loops of the side part together. Again we turn the canvas to the front row, and again remove the first loop untied. Together with the removed we knit 7 loops, the eighth, as before, we knit with the first loop of the lateral surface of the heel together - purl. Turn the work over again with the front side facing you,

removing the first untied, knit together with the removed 7 loops, knit the eighth together with the first loop of the lateral surface of the heel. To do this, we will remove one loop untied, knit the second with the face and stretch it through the removed loop. We turn the work to the wrong side. This repetition continues until all the loops of the side surfaces of the heel are knitted with the central part. So, you have learned from our description how to knit a heel, and it turns out that it is quite simple. The heel of the sock knitted in this way is formed, and we can proceed to the next step of knitting.
