Even craftswomen who are just learning this handicraft can knit seamless socks on two knitting needles. These slippers are easy to make using different knitting techniques. This can be a raised pattern, a flat surface or a pattern. Single-color or melange yarn is suitable for the product.
Features of knitting socks on 2 needles
Hand-knitted slippers are comfortable and practical. They are used as regular slippers or ballet shoes. They are knitted quite quickly even by an inexperienced needlewoman, and almost any thread is suitable for their production. The features of these cozy slippers are the speed and rapidity of their production, the ability to choose the knitting method, decoration, and the use of leftover multi-colored yarn. You will also need a minimum of tools to make them.
Such slippers are knitted using various methods, such as satin stitch, openwork, with or without a seam. The knitting needles can be not only circular, but also regular straight ones. Experienced knitters initially advise choosing the simplest methods for creating slippers, such as knitting with a knitted satin stitch and a technology that does not have sewn seams.
What yarn to knit socks with
For knitting socks, different types of yarn are usually used, depending on their composition, shade, thickness, made of natural and artificial fibers, for example:
- ordinary wool;
- silk, linen, cotton threads;
- cashmere;
- mohair;
- self-spun thread;
- "boucle";
- melange yarn;
- angora;
- "flame".
When choosing yarn, experienced knitters recommend paying attention, first of all, to the structure and quality of the threads. It is better to use a breathable material that has fairly high thermal properties, but has a low degree of electrification. Flax, acrylic or natural yarn containing artificial thread in a ratio of 50X50 are suitable.
You can take the remains of wool of different shades and densities. They are easy to combine to get modern multi-colored socks. The heel and sole are very easy to thicken if you add a nylon thread. The product will be more wear-resistant. Yarn is also selected taking into account the seasons. Cashmere, wool, semi-wool are suitable for winter days. For spring, it is preferable to take acrylic, cotton, bamboo.
It is very important that the material used for the footies is soft to the touch, warms the feet, and does not irritate the skin. For the creation of children's products, it is preferable to choose special hypoallergenic yarn of various colors.
