What are these socks on two spokes?

Traditional knitting master does not like, now they carry socks on two spokes. That only needlewomen do not do with them: they are collected from individual motifs, forged by patchwork, starting from the toe or from the heel, they are tied in parts (first the middle, then the ends), with the seam and without it ...

The advantages and disadvantages of knitting on two spokes

It is believed that knitting of socks on five spokes is inconvenient, although the product is even. And the needlewoman does not need to calculate the loops, which are evenly distributed on them. Socks on two spokes, according to needlewomen, have a lot of advantages:

• Increases the speed of knitting;
• Does not require a lot of space in the bag;
• The loops do not fly off, and the product remains intact;
• You can knit two sock at once on circular or long spokes.

You can argue only with the first statement. Beginners knitters and skilled craftsmen, who are accustomed to knit in the same technique, will find it difficult to master the new scheme at first. The speed of knitting will be kept to a minimum, while the girl does not remember the instruction.

The disadvantage of such socks is one - this is a counting in the mind. That is, when knitting a heel, which in traditional knitting is divided into three parts, here one has to count the loops on one. By the way, knit socks on two spokes can be in different ways, so there is no single scheme. But conditionally they can be divided into "topline" and "heel" products.

Knitting socks with heels

Knitting begins with a rubber band. You type the same number of loops that you knit on four spokes, only take into account that the edge will be edgebanded. Corrugate rubber band of necessary height. Further, you cut out any distance between the elastic band and the heel with any ornament, for example, the face surface .

Now you knit a heel, but neem It's not as if you were knitting ordinary socks. On two spokes the scheme assumes the division of loops into 4 parts and knitting of the heel on two middle parts with nakidami and shortened rows. For example, you have 44 items in the work, so in each part of them you have 11. Now you need to go to the middle, tying the three parts, making a cape, and turn the work to the wrong side. Then only the loops of the middle parts are knit, and on the one hand we do not bind the last, and on the other - we make the crochet until 8 n remain. The second part of the heel is similarly knitted.

Next, we perform a sock, in the place of the toe, there is a fourfold decrease, that is, the number of loops is mentally divided into four parts, where the first and last are tied together. To decrease was smooth, it starts to be done in every even number, and then in odd numbers. The last step is stitching the product.

Socks on two spokes from the toe

You type half the loops, as well as for socks on five spokes (for example, 24 of 48 p.). Then knit on the picture: odd rows - all facial, only the last loop is purl; Even rows are all purl, the last is not Rovyazyvaete. Such taken off should be about a third or a quarter of the total number of loops (in our example this is 8-5 points).

Then they are also staged in stages (that there are no holes in the product, pick up the cape - a tied loop of the previous row). In this way the toe is formed. Then the foot of the toe is knit to the heel according to the same plan as the cape. The last step is to tie the elastic, and the sock is ready.

Each craftsman comes up with a simplified version of knitting. So, some advise to knit the middle of the sock without toe and heel, which then are tied and sewn. There are socks on two spokes seamless and with a seam. As far as they are comfortable when wearing and beautiful, you need to look in the course of work. In any case, it is better to experiment with the patterns and texture of the threads, then your socks will be original and unrepeatable.
