How to knit the heel sock with knitting

In most cases, 5 spokes are used to knit socks, between the four of which are equally divided by all hinges, and the fifth is a worker. This method allows you to knit smoking. But when tapping the heel apply a mixed linear-circular method.

After the elastic band is connected, half the loops, which are located on two adjacent spokes, leave in non-working condition, and the others knit linear way (alternate and invalid rows alternately), while it is possible to transfer these loops from two to one knitting.

This product fragment is called heel height. Depending on the size of the leg, it varies from three to six centimeters. Ideally, the heel altitude should have a square shape, i.e. All of her facets should be equal. For example, the total number of loops - 40, on 2 knitting - 20, one edge (lateral) loop is equal to the 2nd normal, it means that the number of edge loops in the heel altitude should be 10 - this is 19-20 rows. Unless otherwise provided by the scheme, the heel knits with a bustling knitting: the facial row is performed by facial, involnerable - hinges. The heel height should be ended next to the convenience of performing the following elements.

The number of loops divide by 3. If their number is not divided into equally, the odd residue (1 loop) add to the middle loop, and even to the side parts. For example, in the height of the heel 29 loops, then for the side parts we leave 10 loops, and for the average - 9. The number of loops in the middle part should be unchanged, and the side parts are reduced by the confusion of two loops together face. For example:

30 loops are divided into three - 10 loops;
remove the first edge, knit from the 2nd to 9 facial;
10th knit with the 11th so that the 11th was on top;
from the 12th to 19th - facial;
20th and 21st together, so that the 20th was on top;
from the 21st and to the end of the row - facial;
pouring row - in drawing;
remove the first edge, in the second front line two together the 9th and 10th, so that the 10th was on top, and the 19th from the 20th, so that the 19th was on top, the rest of the facial, etc. Before the loops in the side parts will end.

The heel of the sock is ready, in the future, additional loops are recruited from the edge hinges of the heel fragment, so that it may be possible to return to circular knitting.
