Home socks.

I start with 2 needles (30 stitches), knitting the height of the heel, then the heel cap (10 stitches)... I pick up additional stitches from the heel braids and knit on 4 needles until the end of the cut... I pick up additional stitches and continue knitting in the round on 5 needles... I crochet around the cut... In the photo, the reverse side of the work is shown. We knit: 1 purl stitch, 1 stitch is slipped without knitting, yarn in front of the stitch. After reaching the necessary height (10-11 side braids, depending on the size of the foot), we move on to the heel. We start on the reverse side of the work. Knitting 9 stitches with the pattern described above (1 purl, 1 slip, without knitting) we knit the 10th and 11th stitches together purl, then maintaining the pattern for another 8 stitches, we knit the 9th and 10th stitches together purl. Thus we have 19 stitches on the right needle and 9 stitches on the left needle. Without knitting them, we turn the work to the front side and slip the first stitch from the left needle without knitting, knit 8 stitches knit, and knit the 9th and 10th stitches together knit through the back loop. There are 8 stitches left on the left needle. Without knitting them, we turn the work to the reverse side and slip the first stitch without knitting it, knit 8 stitches according to the pattern described above (1 purl, 1 slip without knitting, yarn in front of the stitch). We knit the 9th and 10th stitches together purl. We continue in this way until the decrease of stitches on both sides of the heel cap is finished. In the photo, the heel cap is shown. On the left side, the decrease of stitches has finished. Here it is necessary to pick up stitches from the edge row onto the second needle and knit them knit, turning the work, we knit these stitches purl, then the stitches on the cap, making the last decrease (there should be 10 stitches left on the heel cap). We pick up stitches from the edge stitches on the opposite side onto the 3rd needle and knit them purl. The knitting continues on 4 needles, one of which is working. On the front side, we knit all stitches knit, on the reverse side - the side part purl, and the heel cap with the pattern described above, while shifting the stitches by 1 to create a pattern similar to scales. Now it is necessary to pick up stitches from the opposite edge stitches. Thus, the knitting continues already on 4 needles, of which one is working. On the sides, the knitting is done in stockinette stitch (knit stitches on the front side, purl stitches on the reverse side). I will describe the knitting of the stitches on the sole after the cap in the next photo. The photo clearly shows the scale pattern. The pattern on the reverse side of the work: охохохохоx хохохохохo о- purl stitch; х- purl stitch, slipped without knitting on the front side of the work, all stitches are knitted knit. After reaching the necessary length (5-6 side braids), we pick up the necessary number (10-12 stitches) of additional stitches for rounding the toe on the front side of the work and distribute them evenly on 4 needles. We continue working on 5 needles. Now we knit all stitches knit. You can also use a pattern. For selection, I recommend: After reaching the necessary length of the sock, we move on to knitting the toe. For this, we decrease the toe from both sides, knitting 2 stitches together as follows: - on the upper side of the toe, on the right (at the beginning of the needle) we knit: 1 knit stitch, the next 2 stitches together knit through the back loop; on the left (at the end of the needle): 2 stitches together knit through the front loop, 1 knit. - on the back side of the toe on the right as we knit (at the beginning of the needle) 1 knit, 2 stitches together knit through the back loop; on the left (at the end of the needle) 2 stitches together knit through the front loop. Through the remaining 4 stitches, we pull the working yarn and secure it inside the toe. The final stage of knitting - we crochet around the toe.
