Turkish slippers with knitting needles

Socks with partial knitting with needles, description

The traditional Eastern method allows you to knit slippers with a smooth toe, without noticeable decreases.



The work starts from the back. Up to the beginning of the little toe, the fabric is even. For slippers size 37-39, its width is approximately 7-8 centimeters. This is 26 stitches on needles No. 3.5. The toe is knitted using short rows. Usually, this consists of three to four wedges of 14 rows each. In the first row of the toe, 9 stitches are knitted, the work is turned, and a purl row is completed. In the next knit row, three stitches more are knitted, and the work is turned again. Thus, after 14 rows, all 26 stitches will be knitted. The first wedge formed will slightly change the direction of knitting. When all wedges are knitted, the fabric will symmetrically continue in the opposite direction towards the heel. A flat seam is made at the center of the sole and the back.



Turkish slippers can also be knitted in another way. For this, the side is knitted twice as narrow, and the stitches for the sole are picked up from the toe. During the knitting of the sole, the edge stitches of the side part are picked up in each row, resulting in a slipper without a seam.
