Measures, calculation, set of stitches for socks

MEASUREMENTS, CALCULATION and CAST ON stitches. 2 methods: let's knit together with patterns METHOD 1 -----------------

We take measurements for babies by measuring the heel circumference. One measurement of "Heel circumference" is enough. For babies, socks are not knitted narrow. We knit wool socks for the baby based on this measurement. They can be worn simply over tights, as well as over tights + terry socks. For example: "Heel circumference" 17 cm. (Method 1) We write our measurements on a piece of paper: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Heel circumference = 2. Length of foot to the tip of the little toe = 3. Length of foot = We calculate stitches -------------------------------------- Gently steam the knitted sample. We count the number of stitches in 1 cm ----------------------------------------------------------- We place a ruler against the sample, so that the "0" mark is exactly between the stitches.

Next, we look for the next division that is located exactly between the stitches. Now we count the number of stitches between them. We divide the number of stitches by centimeters to get "Number of stitches in 1 cm". For example: The division "10 cm" is exactly on the border between the stitches. From "0" to "10", I have 21 stitches. 21 stitches: 10 cm = 2.1 stitches in 1 cm. We multiply the "Number of stitches in 1 cm" by the "Circumference" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For example: 2.1 stitches in 1 cm multiplied by "Circumference" 17 cm (method 1). 2.1*17=35.7 stitches Round up to the nearest four ---------------------------------------------- This number is rounded up to be divisible by 4. For example: In this case, 35.7 (method 1) is rounded to 36. 36 stitches are divided among 4 needles. 36:4=9 stitches. 9 stitches on each needle. Just substitute your numbers. Calculate and cast on stitches. Write your measurements on a piece of paper: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Number of stitches in 1 cm = 5. Stitch calculation for circumference = 6. Rounding (to the nearest four) = 7. Number of stitches on the needle = METHOD 2 ------------------

This method is for adults and older children. "Ankle circumference" and "Instep" (see the second image) We add these two measurements together and divide by two, adding 1-2 cm for ease of fit if necessary. For example: "Ankle circumference" 14 cm. "Instep" 15.5 cm. (14 cm + 15.5 cm) : 2 = 14.75 cm 14.75 cm + 2 cm for ease of fit = 16.75 cm (almost 17 cm) 2 measurement. Length of foot from heel to tip of the little toe. For example: 10 cm. 3 measurement. Length of foot from heel to tip of the big toe. For example: 12.5 cm. Just take three measurements from the foot and write them down. I also write down: whose measurement it is, age, yarn, needle size. Write your measurements like this: --------------------------------------------- 1. Circumference (Method 2) = 2. Length of foot to the tip of the little toe = 3. Length of foot = We make stitch calculation: Gently steam the knitted sample 4. We count the number of stitches in 1 cm Place a ruler against the sample, so that the "0" mark is exactly between the stitches.

Next, we look for the next division that is located exactly between the stitches. Now we count the number of stitches between them. We divide the number of stitches by centimeters to get "Number of stitches in 1 cm". For example: The division "10 cm" is exactly on the border between the stitches. From "0" to "10", I have 21 stitches. 21 stitches: 10 cm = 2.1 stitches in 1 cm. 5. We multiply the "Number of stitches in 1 cm" by the "Circumference" For example: 2.1 stitches in 1 cm multiplied by "Circumference" 16.75 cm (method 2). 2.1*16.75 = 35.2 stitches Round up to the nearest four. This number is rounded up to be divisible by 4. For example: 35.2 (method 2) is also rounded to 36. 36 stitches are divided among 4 needles. 36:4=9 stitches. 9 stitches on each needle. Just substitute your numbers. Calculate and cast on stitches. Write your measurements on a piece of paper: ----------------------------------------------------------- 4. Number of stitches in 1 cm = 5. Stitch calculation for circumference = 6. Rounding (to the nearest four) = 7. Number of stitches on the needle = That's it, cast on stitches and knit!
