In our time, the needlework most often the socks knit for the gift. Men, oddly enough, do not need a lot, if only a surprise was made with love and from the whole soul. Today we will tell you how to tie men's socks with knitting needles, the schemes will help to master the technique several times faster.
In order to tie to someone from native and close male socks, you need to know at least the size of the shoes. Of course, ideally, you would need to measure the foot of a centimeter tape, but if you want to present the fruit of your handicrafts as a gift or surprise, you will have to get out. There is a special formula in which the size of the shoe is divided into 3 and is multiplied by 2. By completing these simple calculations, we can easily calculate the approximate size of the foot. For example, if a friend (husband, brother) 42 foot size, foot will be 28.
Description of knitting "Brutal" socks
How to tie men's socks? We start working from a set of loops, distributing them for 4 spokes and knitting single or double gum. Such a cuff is performed at the beginning of each sock so that the product is well kept on the leg and did not "go anywhere." Then the cuff is separated from the heel to another pattern, for example, facial stroke.
If you chose some kind of ornament to decorate the product, remember that it must be interrupted or finished somewhere for 3 or 4 cm in front of the heel, otherwise the hole is quickly formed.
To raise the heel, the loop from the two spokes, which the front part was tied, are combined and transferred to one. They can be removed on the pin, as some time they will not be in work. The loops from the two remaining spokes must be divided into three parts.
If it is not exactly divided, make sure that the extreme, side parts contained the same amount.
The principle of tieting the heel is that only the central part works. Side, of course, also participate in knitting, but a little different. Starting from the edge, there is a countdown of the closed loops of the "sidewalls". Without having the latter, you should combine it from the 1st loop of the central part and to check the "combined" facial (that is, 2 loops, as one facial). Then the work turns over. The same scheme is repeated, only this time with the hinges (drawing, like after the cuff - facial surface). The "combined" loop in this row also knives "invalid". This process is repeated until only hinges from the central part remain on the knitting.

Then you should dial so many additional loops as it was before decreasing. After the tightness of the heel, we perform the sole of the sock in the drawing (facial surface). Leaving behind and this stage, it would be nice to try on the leg of his future owner, if, of course, there is such an opportunity. Approximately about the Misma need to begin a decrease in the number of loops by checking "combined" instead of the 2nd in each row. Gradually, our sock is narrowed in diameter, the last few loops are closed.
The second sock fit on the same scheme.
