Mummy-masters who own a crochet or knitting needles will be able to make them themselves. Socks for a newborn baby are knit quickly and quite simply. For beginners in this kind of needlework, we have prepared a detailed master class. Having studied it, you will understand the principle of doing this garment and literally in the evening or two make your socks.

We learn to knit socks for a newborn. Where to begin?

First of all, prepare the necessary materials. Particularly consider the choice of yarn. The label must be marked "child". These are strings created specifically for knitting clothes for babies. What are the advantages of this yarn? It is not pricked, pleasant to the touch, soft. Products made from baby yarn, when in contact with skin, do not cause itching and allergies. Select a thread from pure wool or wool / acrylic. 50 grams of yarn of medium thickness will be enough to tie the socks for the newborn. Prepare a set of short stocking knitting pins number 3 (5 pieces).

Description of patterns

We will knit socks for the newborn with an elastic band and stocking knit. What is the methodology for their implementation? The elastic band 1x1 is knitted by the way of alternating the front and back loops in all rows. Hosiery is done by face loops on the outside of the product and purl is done on the inside.

Stage 1 - cuff

Type 32 loops and divide them by 8 pieces into four spokes. Perform an elastic band to a height of 7 centimeters. Continue the work of stocking knit - 6 rows. If you want to make a socks for a newborn with a hem, then make a rubber band longer by 5-6 centimeters.

Stage number 2 - heel

Divide the loops into 2 parts (16 each). One half remains on the knitting needles. She does not participate in the work yet. Second 16 loops knit with two spokes for 10 rows. Next is the formation of the angle of the heel. These 16 loops are divided into three parts: 5, 6 and 5. Only knit the central loops (6 pieces), at the end of each row, tie two loops together (6th from the middle and 1st from the side). This will form the heel. Knit this way until until the spokes are left only the central 6 loops.

Stage number 3 - foot

The next series combines all the loops of the product. They are decorated with the same stocking. The sequence of their implementation is as follows: 16 loops previously laid out, 5 loops recruited along the first side of the heel, 6 central ones, and 5 loops recruited along the second side of the heel. Total them on the knitting need to be again 32. Knit a foot 5 cm long with a straight blade. Then do the downsizing: at the beginning of each row, perform one out of two loops. It turns out to be a pointed toe. When there is 1 loop left on the spoke, cut the thread, tighten and tuck off its tip on the underside of the product.

Following the presented master class, you can now independently learn to knit socks for newborns. Schemes of this product you do not need, because the work uses the simplest patterns. Light to you loops!
