Previously, knee socks were an integral element women's wardrobe. And recently, tights and stockings have replaced them. But fashion is back! Knee socks have regained popularity, especially among young women and girls. After all, they help create different images: from a hooligan-rebel to tender and romantic. We invite you to knit knee socks with knitting patterns and descriptions presented in this article.
Openwork white knee socks
The model is designed for size 37/38.
We will need:
- mixed yarn – cotton/acrylic (50g per 150m) – 100g;
- set of toe knitting needles. No. 2.
What patterns will we knit:
- elastic band: 2 knits x 2 purls;
- persons satin stitch: when knitting in the round, knit all stitches; when knitting straight - in faces. knit stitches, purlwise. r. – purl;
- openwork pattern: knit according to the pattern.
Knitting density: 20p. for 31r. correspond to a square of 10 cm by 10 cm.
Description
The principle of knitting knee socks is exactly the same as when knitting socks. in the classic way. We start knitting knee socks with knitting needles from the top.
We dial 64p. and go to circular knitting, distributing the loops over 4 knitting needles (16 pieces each). We knit 4 cm of elastic and start knitting the openwork pattern.
Having knitted 33 cm, we begin to knit the heel. We do this using the usual description of classic heel knitting for beginners. We work on half the loops (32 pcs.), i.e. on two knitting needles. We perform knitting with forward and reverse knitting. satin stitch 20 rub.
To round the heel, we divide all the loops (32 pcs.) into three parts: 11 sts + 10 sts. +11p.=32p. We continue to knit only the central 10 stitches, grabbing one loop from the outer parts in each row.
We knit these loops with the outer loops of the central part into one loop. As a result, we will only have 10 points of the central part left.
On the side parts of the heel we lift 10 stitches from the edges on each side. We put the previously set aside loops into work and again switch to circular knitting. Moreover, we knit the faces at the bottom of the product. satin stitch, and the top with an openwork pattern.
Having knitted it to the height of the little finger (it is advisable to try it on), we make decreases on the toe: on both sides we knit the outer loops on the knitting needles two at a time.
Moreover, at the beginning of the row it will simply be knitting two loops into one, and at the end - the so-called. broach: remove 1 p. as the front one, we knit 1 l. and stretch it through the removed st. For one row we decrease in this way 4 sts.
When on each sp. There will be 2 stitches left. We break the thread, thread it through the remaining loops, tighten it, and bring it out to the wrong side. side, fasten. Golfs are ready!

- patterns according to diagrams.
Knitting density: on jacquard pattern 25 loops correspond to 10 cm.
Description and diagrams for beginners
For convenience, the diagrams in the description are divided into two: harnesses and jacquard, which, in turn, is divided into several parts.
We cast on 60 stitches with a red thread and distribute it into 4 sp., put a marker and switch to circular knitting. Having knitted 8p. persons p., continue according to diagram No. 1, repeat the rapport 15 times per row, perform from the 2nd to the 6th row. and then repeat from the 3rd to the 6th row. 4 times. Following the river evenly add 8 stitches.
We get 68p. We continue knitting according to cx. No. 2:
1st p.: repeat rapport from 2p. for the entire row;
2p.: according to the scheme;
3p.: white yarn knits. p.;
4p.: white yarn knits. p., evenly adding 4 p. Total -72p.
We continue knitting according to cx. No. 2, starting from the 3rd day. Having knitted from the 4th to the 15th row, white. color knit 2p. Then 16 rubles. and 17 rub.
Change the color to red. and knit plaits according to cx. No. 1: 1r, from 2nd to 6th r. and from the 3rd to the 6th r., 1 r. persons p.
We continue along cx. No. 2: 1st r., 2nd r., from 18th to 32nd r. Two rubles persons loop white color. In the last r. decrease 8 sts evenly. 64 sts remain.
We work according to cx. No. 2: knit the 16th row, decreasing 4 stitches. , 17th r.
Change the color to red. and tie along cx. No. 1: from the 1st to the 6th r., from the 3rd to the 6th r. 3rd r.
Let's move on to cx. No. 2: 1 rub., 2 rub. In the last r. decrease evenly 4p. We have 56 p. Then knit from the 33rd to the 45th p.
Again we return to white color: 2 rub. persons with a decrease of 4p. in the last r. We have 52p. Next - cx. No. 2: 16th r. and 17th r.
Red thread: 1p. persons., then: *1l. red, 1 l. gray* – repeat from * to * – for the entire row. Knit 7 such rows. Complete 1p. red
Heel design
The knitting principle is the same as previous model. Red thread of faces Ch. knit 26r. by 26 p. We distribute them like this: 8p.+10p.+8p.=26p.
Having formed the heel, after decreasing we get 10 stitches on the knitting needle. Along the edges of the heel we raise 14 stitches. on both sides. We make one decrease: 2p. knit in 1 p. Taking all the loops into work, we get 63 stitches on the knitting needles. We knit them in a circle: on the 1st and 4th sp. persons Ch., on the 2nd and 3rd sp. jacquard pattern.
We make reductions:
1st: *2l. red, 1l. white* – from * to * repeat three times, ** 2l. red, white broach, 3 l. red, 1l. white** – from ** to ** repeat 7 times, ***3l. red, 2p. in 1l. white*** – repeat from *** to *** 5 times. Total 59p.
We continue to decrease until there are 2 rubles in each. there will be no 55p.
Foot

We do: 1 rub. purple, 1 rub. red. Next r.: *2l. red, 1l. white* – repeat from * to * until the end of the r. Do this 3 more times.
Continue: decrease 7 p.: * 2 p. in 1l. red, 1l. white* – repeat from * to *. We have 47p. Having completed 4 p. according to the drawing, following. r. decrease 7p. We have 40p. Another 3 rubles. red
Toe
The first and last sts of each sp. we knit 2 p. in 1p. We have 32p.
In 3 rubles repeat the series of decreases. After another 2 rubles. - a series of decreases. We have 16p.
In another 1 ruble. - a series of decreases. Break the thread, thread it through the remaining loops, pull it off, bring it to the wrong side and fasten.
If desired, you can roll on the top edge - see photo. To do this, turn the edge under and crochet with purple thread: double crochet at the strand on the wrong side, *4 chain stitches, 1 double crochet between the strands on the front side*. Repeat from * to * for the entire row. The height of the roll is about 1 cm.
For the ties, make cords from thread in several folds. You can crochet a lace from air loops. Pull the lace through the holes - see photo. Tie knots at the ends of the cord.

How to knit tights?
(photos click to enlarge)
What kind of wool should I knit fishnet tights from? From any. But keep in mind that what finer wool, the more visible the openwork pattern is, the more impressive it looks. The best yarn, of course, is 32/2, a skein of which costs 5 rubles (*). You need to take it in three folds; for tights, 2-4 hundred gram skeins are enough, depending on the size. You will also need size 2 knitting needles and a set of double needles.
(*) - my note:
In Soviet magazines it was customary to focus on 32/2 yarn. They still do it now. This is a fine yarn for machine knitting. When it is used in hand knitting, it is usually wound in several folds, from 2 to 8 threads, depending on the desired thickness. The density of one thin thread 32/2 corresponds to 1600 meters in 100 grams.
Before you start work, you need to take measurements (see figure).
Our calculations are based on sizes 46-48, here are their parameters: semi-circumference of the hips - 50 cm, circumference of the lower leg at the ankle level - 23 cm, side length from waist to ankle - 100 cm, length from waist to waist through the groin - 68 cm.
Now knit two control samples: stocking stitch and openwork pattern according to the pattern.
Calculate the knitting density from them. It should correspond to: for stocking fabric 26 loops for 42 rows = 10 by 10 cm, for openwork fabric 24 loops for 40 rows = 10 by 10 cm. If the density of your samples turns out to be different, the calculations will have to be adjusted.
We start working with the right half of the tights. We put 130 loops on the knitting needles (line A1A2 = 50 cm, see pattern) with an auxiliary thread and knit 4-6 rows in stocking stitch. We break the thread. We connect the main thread and, without changing the pattern, knit another 16 rows (elastic hem).
“Corner” (abc) is performed with partial knitting. In the work - half of the loops are on the back of the right side of the work (65 loops). The number of partial knitting techniques is determined by the number of edges in the segment ac: 8 rows, 4 edges. The number of loops in one step is thus 65 loops: 4 edge loops, that is, 16 loops (we will add the remaining one to the last part).
In the front row we knit 65 loops, turn the work inside out and knit the row to the end. In the next front row we do not knit 16 stitches until the middle, we turn the work inside out and knit the row to the end. We work like this until we knit the entire “corner”, finishing it with a common front row, there are 130 loops in the work.
Let's start calculating the fabric up to the dash line: line AB (see pattern) = semicircle of the hips, divided by 2 + 3-4 cm (allowance for step width), that is, 50: 2 + 3 = 28 cm. Since the hem is for the elastic is included in this segment and is already connected, we perform the calculation for the remaining 26 cm. Line BB (see pattern) = 110 rows. It is advisable to provide an allowance on the back half of the part (3-4 cm), it can also be knitted using partial knitting, namely: knit 12 rows exactly. Then we knit the first 65 stitches in the front row, turn the work wrong side out and knit the row to the end. Again we knit 12 rows exactly, then the first 65 loops, turn them inside out, and finish the row. And we work like this until we knit 110 rows. We mark the loops of the last, 110th row with colored thread, this will make it easier to sew in the gusset.
The segment BC (see pattern) is 26 rows, they are knitted evenly, we mark the edges of the last row with a colored thread.
Let's move on to knitting the openwork fabric. In order for it to correspond to the work in width, it is necessary to make decreases: 130 loops of stocking fabric are equal to 120 loops of openwork, which means you need to decrease 10 loops - in the purl row, knitting every 12th and 13th. loops together with one purl. After the auxiliary row, we knit with an openwork pattern of 66 cm, decreasing one loop at the beginning and end of every eighth (front) row. We knit the last 8 rows evenly, finishing the work with the front row. To avoid losing count, you can use colored thread or a pin to mark the rows in which the decreases are made.
The openwork part is ready. In the upper part of the canvas it had a width of 120 loops, in the lower part - in the last row - 56 loops. This number corresponds to the width of 60 loops of the stocking fabric, which we will use to knit the final part of the part - the sock. This means that when working, it will be necessary to add the missing 4 loops in the purl row at equal intervals. Now we transfer the work to 4 stocking needles and knit a sock. Before knitting the heel and toe, add another wool or elastic thread for strength.
We knit the left half of the tights in the same way as the right, but in a mirror image.
We knit the gusset like a rectangle, also adding an additional thread for strength. We put 16 loops on the knitting needles, knit 26 rows, close the loops of the last row. The basic work is completed. Let's start assembling.
Wet both halves in lukewarm water, gently wring out and let dry. The water will iron itself knitted fabric. Baste the left and right pieces, then sew them together with a vertical knit stitch or crochet them. Lastly, sew in the gusset. Iron the edge of the fabric (the hem of the elastic) through two layers of cotton gauze. Fold the lapel along the fold and baste along the front side. Weave the auxiliary thread and close the open loops. Press the hem and all seams. Pull the elastic through.
Every girl in school years wore knee socks, and the more beautiful they were, the more elegant the little first-grader looked. The styles and colors were very diverse; they preferred openwork and elastic ones, with lace and charming pompoms. The most beloved were white knee socks, they never went out of fashion, they were worn by all generations in the family: grandmothers, mothers, and little granddaughters.
Women's knee socks, knitted with knitting needles, can be classified as a product of high complexity. For this homemade craft you need:
- choose patterns and calculate patterns in order to associate high socks with all increases and decreases without errors;
- openwork motifs should be made in the round or on five thin knitting needles, the fabric should be seamless and with small holes;
- knit the toe and heel correctly, taking into account the number of loops and the size of the leg;
- As a result, the finished product should fit tightly to the leg and not bunch up when walking.
For beginners, you can choose fashionable and more simple models, which will significantly decorate the image and diversify the wardrobe.
Knitting knee socks without heels
If the needlewoman has already mastered a set of stitches and become familiar with the front and back stitch, then she can easily knit knee socks. They are always at the peak of fashion, creating an image of warm luxury and youthful audacity.
These knitted knee socks are ideal with miniskirts, protect your legs in the cold winter and add unique chic to the whole look.
To work you will need:
- yarn - 5-6 colors;
- circular knitting needles - No. 3-4.
The entire fabric is made with 2*2 rib (k2, p2). The number and color of stripes can be changed at the request of the needlewoman.
It is important to start knitting from the ankle, and closer to the knee, reduce the product a little, knitting 2 purl loops together.
Advice for beginners! If it’s still difficult to master circular knitting, you can do the work on 2 knitting needles, then carefully sew the knee socks with a knitted stitch!

Sheep socks – warm and creative
Investing imagination and a piece of their soul, home craftswomen transform ordinary knitted knee socks into a small work of art.
The description of such a beautiful work fits into several points. The loops are cast on into circular ones or divided into 4 knitting needles for seamless knitting. It is better to knit an elastic band with mixed yarn, wool plus elastic thread.
The fabric is knitted up to the ankle with the “Fur” pattern; this simple motif is made by winding the working thread onto a finger (2-3 turns) and securing the fur curl with a knit stitch.
Heel knitting patterns are the same for both socks and golf socks. The heel loops are divided into three parts. The central loops are knitted back and forth with a decrease in each row of side loops by 2 together.
When the heel is ready, you need to restore all the decreased stitches with a set of edge stitches and continue knitting in stockinette stitch to the base of the thumb. The toe is made by decreasing loops in 2 or 4 places until the product is completely closed.
Ears and eyes are made separately, sewn to the fabric, and the muzzle is embroidered with black thread.
A creative approach to needlework gives rise to completely unusual styles. You can knit such knee socks with knitting needles in a couple of evenings, but the joy from such a product will be enough for the entire cold winter.
