Socks with a beautiful pattern, on two needles, description

Socks on two needles for beginners can be made more interesting by using lace, jacquard, or textured patterns. Socks with different forms of "braiding" or several braids and twists woven into one pattern look very beautiful. Below is a description of one option for decorating the upper part of the sock with the "Ear of Wheat" pattern. For work, you should prepare: 250 g of any yarn (preferably not too thin); 2 straight needles without stoppers, size No. 3; a marker pin; a ruler, scissors. The sequence for knitting the socks with the pattern: Cast on 24 stitches and knit in 1x1 rib for 6 vertical rows (1.5 cm). Knit the heel with a height of 6.0 cm – 21 rows of stockinette stitch. Starting from the 22nd row, begin shaping the heel cup. To do this, divide the fabric into 3 equal parts (8 stitches each). Then knit as follows: 8 purl stitches (side), 7 purl stitches (center), knit the 8th stitch of the side part together with the stitch of the side part as 1 purl stitch. Turn the work. Slip 1 edge stitch, 6 knit stitches (center), knit the 8th stitch of the center part with the stitch of the side part as 1 knit stitch (left slant). Turn the work. The knitting chart for the "Ear of Wheat" pattern:

Slip 1 edge stitch, 6 purl stitches (center), knit the 8th stitch of the center part with the stitch of the side part as 1 purl stitch. Next, continue knitting the heel according to the same pattern until there are 8 stitches left in the center part. Then, from the edge braid of the heel, pull out 11 stitches from both sides, purl on the purl side and knit on the knit side. At this stage, you should begin to decrease stitches on the heel. This should be done at the end of each row, knitting the last 2 knit stitches together as 1 knit stitch (right slant) on the knit side, and 2 purl stitches together as 1 purl stitch on the purl side. Continue knitting according to this pattern until the starting number of stitches (24 stitches) is left on the needle. Knit the next 40 rows in stockinette stitch without increases or decreases. When knitting the toe, decrease stitches before the edge stitch in each row (8 stitches should remain on the needle), and then increase again, pulling from the edge braid. The toe of the sock is knitted the same way as the heel, only after the increase, 1 edge stitch should be knitted. Increase stitches on the toe until there are 16 stitches on the needle. The upper part of the sock is knitted according to the scheme below. On both sides of the pattern, purl stitches are added from the edge braid. Increases should be made until there are 24 starting stitches on the needle. Then continue knitting the upper part of the sock with the pattern, pulling stitches from the edge braid on each side. To keep the number of stitches the same, they need to be decreased at the end of the row. To do this, on the purl side at the end of the row knit 2 purl stitches into 1 purl stitch, and on the knit side knit 2 knit stitches into 1 knit stitch. Continue knitting according to this pattern until the upper part of the sock reaches the top of the ribbing in the heel area. Then close the stitches, knitting knit stitches as knit and purl stitches as purl. Finally, secure the thread and cut it.
