Whether knitted socks fit well depends on how well the heel is tied. Knitting the heels of socks is considered by many to be an impossible task, but it is very easy. You just need to try several options and choose your own.
Knitting heels of socks with a three-piece bottom (straight heel)
When working the top of the sock, you divided the cast-on stitches equally into four parts (for example, you scored only 60 of them, it turns out 15 on the needles). The heel is knitted on two needles, the first and fourth (30 p. in total).
Knitting a straight heel consists of two main parts.
- Execution of the wall. We knit the required number of rows with the front stitch (their number should be 2 less than the number of loops on the working knitting needles). In our example, there are 30 of them, it turns out 28 rows.
- Lower part. Separate the heel loops evenly. In the case when their number is not a multiple of 3, the remainder is left on the middle part. In our work, it turns out 10 x 10 x 10 loops.
Knitting heels of socks
In the first row we knitpersons. p., knit the last one crossed with the adjacent loop of the left side. Turn the work over (10 x 10 x 9).
In the second row we knit out. p., we knit the last loop of the middle part with the adjacent loop of the right part (9 x 10 x 9).
Knit following the example of the first and second rows until 10 loops of the middle part of the work remain.
Foot. Lifting wedge
Cast on hem stitches + 1 (15 on each side of the heel). Next, we put the second and third knitting needles into work and knit in circular rows.
Having knitted one row, we get 20 x 15 x 15 x 20 loops. For a perfect fit of the sock, it is necessary to knit in each even circular row of one front one the penultimate two loops of the first and the first fourth knitting needles (by broach). Decrease stitches until you have the starting number (60).
Knitting the heels of socks with short rows ("boomerang")
The distribution of loops occurs according to the previous principle. The boomerang heel is shorter than the traditional one, so 2 cm before it is done on these knitting needles, knit with front stitch. Divide the heel loops into 3 equal parts, knit in short rows. Start work from the outside to the middle.
In the first row, knit stitches. Flipping the job.
In the second row we knit with purl loops. The first loop must be knitted double. To do this, place the thread in front of work, insert the knitting needle into the loop, which you remove to the working knitting needle along with the thread. At the same time, remember: the tighter the thread is pulled, the more inconspicuous the hole will be. Next, we knit a row to the end with purl loops. Flipping the job.
In the third row, having completed one double loop, we knit all the rest with the front surface, leaving the double loop unknitted. Flipping the job.
In the fourth row, having completed one double loop, we knit all the rest with the wrong side, leaving the double loops untied. Flipping the job.
Repeat the third and fourth rows until the loops of the middle third of the heel remain on the needles. Knit 2 circular rows in this way: the heel with front stitch, the loops of the second and third knitting needles - the pattern. Double loops in the first row are knitted as one knit.
Next, knitting socks with knitting needles (heel-"boomerang") continues with shortened rows, but in the reverse order.
In the first row (knit.), loops are knitted only in the middle third.
In the second row, the loops are knitted with the wrong side. We knit the first loop double. Next, we knit the row to the end with purl loops, including the last middle part. Flipping the job.
In the third row we knit with the front stitch: double, then the loops of the row (we knit the double as one), one loop of the extreme part. Flipping the job.
In the fourth row we knit with the wrong side: double, loops of the row (we knit the double as one), one loop of the extreme part. Flipping the job.
Repeat the third and fourth rows until we use all the loops of the outer parts. The last row will be purl, so in the first circular row once you need to perform another doubleloop.
The scheme of knitting the heels of socks with knitting needles using the "boomerang" method eliminates the lifting wedge. Therefore, immediately after completing the heel part, the foot is knitted.
