I will tell you how to knit socks on 5 knitting needles with a straight heel, horseshoe heel, round heel and boomerang heel in detail.
To knit children's socks you will need 1 skein of bright yarn, preferably acrylic or baby yarn. These are knitted with ANGORA RAM (100 g = 500 m) in 2 threads. I knit socks for adults from 100% wool (133-170 m per 100 g). For women's socks, 100 grams is enough, for men's socks it takes more (we take 2 skeins of 100 grams, it’s better to have some yarn left over than not have enough). The thinner the knitting needles and the tighter you knit, the tighter the socks. Now I knit with needles No. 2.5.
How to knit socks with simple knitting needles.
To knit children's socks, we cast on 32 loops, women's socks - 40 loops, men's socks - 48 loops (the number of loops for woolen village (homemade) yarn or purchased yarn with a yardage of 130-170 m per 100 g). If the yarn is thinner, then there will be a different number of loops (more).
Distribute the stitches evenly across 4 needles. Thus, on each knitting needle it turned out: children's socks - 8 loops, women's socks - 10 loops, men's socks - 12 loops. We close the knitting in a circle. Find out how to do this here. We knit with an elastic band 2*2 or 1*1, I like 2*2 better. We determine the length of the elastic arbitrarily: some people like low socks to wear in their boots, others long ones, almost to the knees (then you need more yarn). I knit both socks at once, on 10 knitting needles. I knitted an elastic band for one sock, I switched to other knitting needles and knitted exactly the same elastic band for the second. I will tell you how to knit baby socks. The child is 2 years old. I cast on 33 loops and closed them into a circle. 32 loops left. There are 8 loops on each knitting needle. I knitted with an elastic band * knit 2, purl 2 * 27 rows. Now we knit in stockinette stitch so that the socks fit well on the leg, 5 rows. (For adults you need to knit 8-10 rows).
How to knit a heel on a toe with knitting needles, straight heel.
We will knit the heel from half the stitches, on two knitting needles. We don't touch the rest for now. We knit the front loops in one direction, unfold the work, knit the purl loops. Don’t forget about the edge loops (we remove the first one, we knit the last one using the classic purl stitches, you can also use knit stitches, the main thing is the same ones to get a beautiful, even edge)!
Using stockinette stitch we knit 10 rows for children's socks (for women's socks - 14-16 rows, for men's - 16-20 rows. If the instep of the leg is high, then 2-4 rows more). We divide these loops into 3 parts.
For children's socks we knitted 16 heel loops, distributing them like this: 5+6 sole loops+5.
(For women's 7+6+7=20, for men's 8+8+8=24.)
We continue to knit the heel. In the front row we make the first decreases. 4 knit, 2 knit together behind the front wall, 4 knit, 2 knit together behind the back wall.
We turn the work around. We slip 1 loop onto the left needle, tighten the thread so that there are no holes. Purl 4, purl 2 together.
We turn the work around. Re-slip 1 loop, tighten the thread, knit 4, knit 2 together.
We turn the work around. We knit this way until there are 6 loops left on two knitting needles. (For men's socks there are 8 loops).
If you knit like me, on 10 needles, then it’s time to move on to another sock and knit exactly the same heel.
How to knit socks on 5 knitting needles. Continuation.
We cast on loops from the heel edges. Ideally, you should get the same number of loops as you decreased. If there are more loops, this can be fixed. In the next rows, we will decrease one loop per row on each side until the required number of loops is obtained. If the leg instep is high, then be sure to cast on more loops. The loops can be cast on both knit and purl. It will turn out beautiful in any case, I will show you in the photo.
purl stitches were cast on from the heel edges of the sock
On the knitting needles now: 6 heel loops, cast on 5 loops along one edge of the heel, 16 loops, cast on 5 loops along the second edge of the heel. Now we knit 38 rows. If you need it longer, knit more rows. We will decrease evenly on 4 knitting needles, so that it makes no difference whether the sock is right or left. In each row on each knitting needle we knit the last 2 stitches together. So we knit until the end. We fasten the thread and hide it on the wrong side. Socks are ready!
When I knit socks for an adult, so as not to count many rows, I make a pattern in the middle.
Pattern for knitting socks.
From 3 knit stitches we knit 3 knit stitches (“stars”):
We knit 3 knit stitches together, do not slip the loop from the left knitting needle, yarn over and knit a knit stitch from it again. Now slip the stitches off the left needle.
Repeat the pattern after a few front rows. I do it every 5 rows, in the sixth, or every 4 rows in the fifth. There is no difference, the main thing is the same number of rows between the “stars”.
These socks were closed in a different way: on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles I decreased the last loops, and on the 2nd and 4th knitting needles - the first loops. It's called a tape toe.
Here is another option for using this pattern.
The socks are knitted from leftover yarn. Here, instead of an elastic band, I knitted “stars” in a checkerboard pattern.
How to knit socks with knitting needles in a beautiful pattern.
Nice socks?! Very simple pattern. Cast on the number of loops that are a multiple of 4+1 loops to close into a circle. We knit with an elastic band * knit 2, purl 2 * the required length (there are 15 rows here).
Let's start knitting the pattern. It consists of 5 rows.
1 row. *Knit 1 stitch as a knit stitch, knit 3*
2nd row. Face loops
3rd row. *Knit 1 stitch as a knit stitch, knit 3*
4 row. Facial
5 row. *1 knit stitch, 3 purl loops*
Again, knit the required length of the sock to the heel. How to knit such a sock heel is described above. The heel in the photo is straight, if desired, you can knit both a round one and a boomerang.
When the heel is knitted, we continue to knit the sock on 2 knitting needles according to the pattern, on the sole - in stockinette stitch.
We knit the toe of the sock using stockinette stitch. Close on both sides. The toe turned out to be ribbon.
Children's socks with oblique elastic.
Oblique elastic pattern
Since the rapport is 6 loops, I cast on 36 loops on two knitting needles with a double thread. First, 3 rows of elastic *knit 2, purl 2*. Then 12 rows with bias rib, 8 rows with rib *knit 2, purl 2*, 5 rows of garter stitch and knit the heel. Everything as usual. When I started the socks, I left 2 loops between decreases: one at the end of the knitting needle, the second at the beginning.

How to knit children's socks with knitting needles.
Beautiful socks, author Natalya Levina
I knit children's from 40 loops, 10 per knitting needle. For this knitting, you need to take thicker needles, not ordinary, thin ones. I would like to note that these openwork socks are knitted much faster than usual. The heel is very strong, no additional thread is needed. I knit socks for adults using a pattern of 48 stitches (12 per knitting needle). The heel is knitted the same way.
KNITTING SCHEME.
Adults - 12 loops: Row 1: P1, 1 yarn over, k3, 2tog; 2nd row: 1 p., 1 knit., 1 nak., 2 vm (together); Row 3: P1, k2, k1, k1, k2; Row 4: P1, k3, k1, k2.
Children's - 10 loops: 1 row: 1 p., 1 knit., 2 knit., 2 vm.; Row 2: P1, k1, k1, k1, k2; Row 3: P1, k2, k1, k2.
Heel: Row 1: slip 1, knit 1, slip, knit. etc. (thread behind the knitting needle); 2 row; Remove 1 and knit the entire row...
I suggest watching MK on how to knit socks if something is not clear.

Cast on 12 stitches on each needle.
If you need teeth on top, then we knit it like booties: first with stockinette stitch 5 rows, then *yarn over, 3 together* until the end of the row, then with stockinette stitch 5 rows. Then you will fold the edge and sew it on the wrong side.
Description of the socks pattern

How to knit the heel of a sock with knitting needles.
I’m still bragging about my socks! YarnArt EVEREST yarn (200 g / 320 m, 70% acrylic, 30% wool) from one skein came these socks and coats for the cat toy Lee - Lee. I really liked the yarn: it doesn’t fade, holds its shape, is warm, and it’s a pleasure to knit with it. But! I couldn’t choose the color so that the socks would be the same, although I honestly tried.
Choosing yarn
Knitting socks for beginners starts with choosing the right yarn. Since the socks will constantly rub against the floor, the thread must be very strong. That is why for knitting socks it is better to choose mixed yarn rather than pure wool.
The ideal thread should consist of wool and acrylic. To strengthen the most vulnerable part of the sock - the heel, some craftswomen add a strong bobbin thread to regular yarn when knitting.
Once you have chosen your yarn, be sure to knit a sample from it. The sample needs to be washed and steamed. This way you can calculate how many stitches you need to cast on so that the finished product fits your size after washing. To knit an elastic band, you need to cast on a number of loops that is a multiple of four.
In addition to yarn, you will need sock knitting needles, they are sold in sets of 5 pieces.
How to knit socks with boomerang heels.
A beautiful heel, knitted like a boomerang heel. These socks are knitted from NAKO Tweed yarn 100 g = 260 m. 32 loops, knitting needles No. 2.5, child age 3 years.
Knitting the heel of a sock with knitting needles step by step. Heel boomerang.
First, divide the number of loops in half. We will knit on two of the 4 needles. Let me first explain how we will knit. It's simple, the main thing is to understand the meaning. We divide the number of loops into 3 parts, the middle part will always be knitted with stockinette stitch, and the two outer ones at the top of the heel will be knitted in short rows, adding yarn overs, and, on the contrary, adding loops at the bottom of the heel.
MK here.
Next we knit the required length of the sock and close the toe. Easy to knit and looks beautiful!

Knitting needles No. 2.5.
Taking measurements
To ensure that the sock does not slide off the foot and at the same time does not press, you need to take the measurements correctly. To do this, measure the leg:
- in the place where the elastic band will begin;
- in leg lifting;
- in the foot.
When the measurements are taken, we knit a sample from the yarn and on the knitting needles that will be used in the work. The fabric is usually knitted in ten stitches and ten rows. The width and height of the canvas are measured by meter.
If 10 loops are three centimeters, then divide the measurement from the leg circumference by 3 cm and multiply by 10 loops. This will be the number of loops that need to be cast on the knitting needles.
We need the height of the fabric in order to know how many rows to knit. Some knitters do not look at how many rows there are in knitting, but immediately try them on their feet and determine the required number of rows.
Important! Write down all calculations and measurements on paper so as not to forget them during the knitting process. Because while one sock is knitted, the number of stitches you need to cast on and how many rows you need to knit disappears from your memory, and then the second sock may turn out to be larger or smaller than the first.
How to knit socks for children. The easy way.
For knitting you will need:
Yarn - any non-prickly yarn, preferably merino, 300 m / 100 grams. Only 50 grams.
Set of double needles number 3.
Description.
Stage 1.
On one needle No. 3 we cast on 44 loops + 1 connecting stitch for knitting in the round.
We knit with an elastic band * 1 knit, 1 purl * in a circle for 18 rows. Next we knit 4 rows in garter stitch.
Stage 2.
Knit the heel of the sock.
To do this, we can knit loops with 3 and 4 needles on one needle in stockinette stitch in straight and reverse rows. In this case, the first (edge) loop is re-knitted without knitting, and the last one is knitted purl in a classic manner. So we knit 12 rows of 22 loops.
Next, we divide these 22 loops into 3 parts: 7, 8, 7. We knit only the central 8 loops like this: we knit 7 +7, and the 8th loop, together with the first loop of the third part of the front one, behind the back wall of the loops. We unfold the knitting, remove the first loop without knitting. We knit 6 loops, and we knit the last loop of the second part together with the first loop of the third part of the purl. We repeat the rows until the central 8 loops remain. The heel is tied.
Stage 3.
We knit the central 8 loops in the front row with knit stitches, cast on 10 loops from the edge loops like this: we knit two loops with the front one, add a third from the hole between the loops and also knit the front one. We knit 22 loops (this is the top of the sock), and again we cast on 10 loops from the edge loops.
Stage 4.
Raising the foot. Every row you need to decrease 3 loops from the sides. In the place indicated by the arrow, we decrease the outer loop from the knitting needles on which the heel was knitted. When positioned as in the photo, we knit the first loop of the front part with the last loop of the knitting needle on which the heel was knitted, together with the front one behind the front wall.
On the second side of the sock we decrease in the same way, but by knitting two loops together behind the back wall. We knit to the end of the row.
We knit the next row with knit stitches without decreases. Such decreases will need to be repeated 2 more times. There should be 11 loops on each knitting needle. (Same as at the very beginning.) Knit in the round for 20 rows.
Stage 5.
How to knit the toe of a sock with knitting needles.
We make decreases in each row of 2 loops along the sides. (At the beginning of the 1st needle, knit 2 together behind the front wall, at the end of the 2nd knitting needle, knit 2 together behind the back wall. At the same time, we make the same decreases on the other side. At the beginning of the 3rd and at the end of the 4th knitting needles, until There will be 4 loops left.Tighten the remaining loops by threading the thread through them using a hook.
Cut the thread, hide the ends on the wrong side. Wash socks.
Models
Knitted socks have long ceased to be the same type of thing. Today they amaze with their diversity. Moreover, models may differ not only in color and pattern, but also in texture.
Hosiery looks very original, where each part is made in its own color - elastic, boot, heel, middle part, toe. At the same time, you can choose the shades of yarn to your liking.
Socks for boys in the form of sneakers and striped stockings in a nautical style also look incredibly stylish.
In addition, finished products can be decorated with knitted flowers and bows. This decor will add unusualness and uniqueness to them.

Men's socks, size 27. You can clearly see where the 100 g skein of yarn ended. A detailed description of the knitting process is in the same article below.
How to knit socks.
Men's socks, foot size 43.
Yarn “Winter Comfort” 100 g = 220 m, 2 skeins, sock knitting needles No. 2.5.
Cast on 48 loops + 1 (for closing in a circle)
I knitted 11 rows with an elastic band *knit 2, purl 2*.
Then 3 rows in garter stitch: 1 row with purl stitches, 2nd row with knit stitches, 3rd row with purl stitches again. To prevent a step from forming when moving from the purl row to the front row, we knit the last loop in the row of purl loops together with the broach raised after it.
Next are 5 rows in stockinette stitch.
3 rows in garter stitch.
11 rows according to scheme 1.
And repeat 3 rows in garter stitch, 5 rows in stockinette stitch, 3 rows in garter stitch.
Let's move on to the heel.
Knitting sock heels.
We take loops on 1 and 4 knitting needles.
The toe on the left shows the front side of the heel, the toe on the right shows the reinforced heel from the inside.
It turns out that the heel can be: firstly, compacted, and secondly, tied in another way. Almost straight heel, only the line of the sole will not be clearly visible.
The heel seal is a good idea. We will compact it with a pattern:
Knit rows: all stitches are knit.
Purl rows: purl 1, remove 1 without knitting.
We knit the edge loops more tightly so that holes do not form when we later lift the loops from them.
Convex tracks are obtained on the front side (see photo above). Knit to the desired length. I need a high rise, I knitted 24 rows. The last row is the front row.
How to knit a heel on a toe with knitting needles. Step by step.
A horseshoe heel is knitted almost the same as a straight heel. Only in the straight heel, after we have tied two together, do we immediately turn the work, but here you need to knit another loop and then turn the work. You need to start from the middle of the heel, leaving the central 2-4 loops single.
If it's not clear, watch the video.
Now we will knit the pattern on the 2nd and 3rd needles, and on the 1st and 4th needles the heel in stockinette stitch. When we cast on loops from edge loops, we insert the knitting needle under both walls of the edge loop. We dial it tight. If the loops are raised freely, you can knit the first row crossed.
I got 14 loops on each side. Ideally, there should be the same number of loops on the knitting needles as you cast on, i.e. 48. We will use a wedge to decrease the extra loops. On 1 knitting needle we knit the penultimate 2 stitches together with a knit stitch tilted to the right, the last one with a knit stitch. On the 4th knitting needle: 1 knit, 2 knit together, tilted to the left. We make decreases through the row.
We make the drawing on the upper part of the sock according to the diagram
To make the pattern symmetrical, add one broach loop in the middle. It turned out on knitting needles 2 and 3 in total 25 loops.
We alternate the pattern according to the pattern with 3 rows of garter stitch and 5 rows of stockinette stitch. So we knit the desired length, approximately to the little finger. Before the toe, it is recommended to shorten the stocking stitch by two loops on both sides to make it more comfortable in shoes. That is, in a row of purl stitches, knit the first 2 and last 2 stitches. You can switch to knitting needles that are a little thinner. I knitted the entire sock with one knitting needle.
How to knit the toe of a sock with knitting needles.
We decrease the loops on both sides: on 1 knitting needle we knit the 2 penultimate loops together with a knit stitch tilted to the right, the last one with a knit stitch. On the 4th knitting needle: 1 knit, 2 knit together, tilted to the left. Also on the 3rd knitting needle we knit the penultimate 2 stitches together with a knit stitch tilted to the right, the last one with a knit stitch. On the 2nd knitting needle: 1 knit, 2 knit together, tilted to the left. In each row until the loops run out. Cut the thread and hide it inside the sock. Wash socks.
Decor
Experienced craftswomen try to diversify ordinary socks and decorate them with multi-colored stripes, patterns, and ornaments using the jacquard technique. You can knit funny designs on children's socks.
If socks will be worn outside, they should be smooth so that they do not press in winter shoes. If the socks are intended to be worn at home, then they can be decorated with voluminous elements. These could be bows, lacing, decorative buttons or zippers.
It often happens that a craftswoman wants to knit something. She spends effort, time and money on a new product and only at the end of the process asks the question: “What to do now with the fifth scarf?”
To avoid such questions, knit socks. Each member of your family will need them. A warm and pleasant thing to the touch will warm a loved one on cold winter evenings.
Knit socks as a gift for your friend or husband and express your care for them. And the unusual colors will surely make the owner of the socks smile and lift his spirits.

How to knit socks with knitting needles in a two-color pattern.
We will knit socks with a two-color pattern, knitting 2 rows in one color. If the pattern requires a different color, remove the loop of the desired color without knitting.
You will need: thin wool yarn of two colors: pink 30 g and green 50 g. Sock knitting needles No. 2.
We cast on 2 knitting needles folded together 48 loops + 1 loop for closing in a circle. Distribute evenly onto 3 or 4 knitting needles (as convenient to knit).
We knit with an elastic band *1 knit, 1 purl* 3-4 cm. My elastic on the front and back sides turned out different, I turned the sock inside out and continued knitting on the wrong side. There are paths of crossed facial loops. You don't have to turn it inside out.
Next we knit according to the pattern, repeating it 3 times, starting from the 1st row.
We knit even rows according to the pattern.
Then 2.5 cm with pink threads in stockinette stitch. Then 2-3 rows in green. And we begin to knit the heel. How the heel is knitted is described above.
Star pattern
For the classic sock pattern, the knitting pattern always remains the same. You can decorate your socks with colorful yarn or patterns if you wish. Thus, men's socks can be decorated with one or several tracks of stars. The stars are knitted like this:
- Knit 3 stitches together, do not drop the stitch from the left needle;
- Yarn over;
- From the knitted loop, knit another knit stitch.
Then you can continue knitting as usual. The path is obtained by repeating this technique every 3 rows.
Here's another comfortable heel.

How to knit the heel of a sock.
I distributed the stitches onto 3 needles: 15+14+15.
I knitted the heel on two knitting needles, each with 15 stitches. 16 rows in stockinette stitch.
12 knit, 2 knit together, 2 knit, 2 knit together. Expand the work.
Slip 1 loop, pull up the thread, purl 3, purl 2 together, unfold the work.
Slip the first stitch, pull up the thread, knit 5, knit 2 together, unfold the work.
Knit like this until there are 16 stitches left. This is how the heel turned out.
I picked up 9 loops from each edge of the heel. There are 9+14+9+16=48 stitches on the needles. Next we knit all the front stitches for 28 rows.
4 loops need to be decreased. We will knit the outermost of 14 loops in two rows of 2 together. In one row we made decreases, knit 2 rows without decreases, in the next row we again decreased 2 loops in the same places. There are 44 loops on the needles.
When you have knitted the required length of the sock (so that the little finger is hidden), we distribute the loops onto 4 knitting needles. Then in each row on each knitting needle we knit the first 2 stitches together. When all the loops have been reduced, we cut the thread, fasten it and hide the end inside the sock.
This is how the toe turned out.
Beautiful socks made of Italian wool (100 g=170 m).
The shortest description of how to knit socks.
The heel should be knitted based on the loops you cast on (36/4) * 2 = 18 loops, the number of pairs of heel rows is one less, that is, 8 pairs of rows, after the heel the number of rows is knitted to the little finger, and then the knitting is closed .

How to knit the heel of a sock.
Heel wall:
1st row (front): purl loops.
2nd row: purl stitches.
3rd row: *Slip 1 stitch, 1 knit stitch; repeat from * to the end of the row.
4th row: slip 1 stitch, purl stitches to end of row.
Rows 5-30: repeat last 2 rows.
Heel swivel:
1st row (front): slip 1 stitch, knit 17, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the left, knit 1, turn knitting.
2nd row: slip 1 loop, purl 5 loops, purl 2 loops together, purl 1 loop, turn knitting.
3rd row: slip 1 stitch, knit 6 stitches, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the left, knit 1 loop, turn knitting.
Continue knitting in this manner, knitting 1 more stitch before decreasing in each subsequent row, until 18 heel stitches remain, ending with a purl row.
Comment:
in the last 2 rows after decreasing, do not knit 1 knit/purl loop.
Cast-on round: on the front side, use a spare knitting needle to knit 9 heel stitches; Using another knitting needle, knit the remaining 9 heel stitches, pick up and knit 15 stitches along the side edge of the heel wall (knitting needle 1); on the next 2 knitting needles continue to knit the pattern on the loops of the top of the foot (knitting needle 2 and knitting needle 3, 16 loops on each knitting needle); With another knitting needle, cast on and knit 15 stitches along the opposite side edge of the heel wall, 9 knit stitches on the heel (knitting needle 1) - 80 stitches in total, 24 loops each on knitting needles 1 and 4, 16 loops each on knitting needles 2 and 3.
Lifting wedge:
1st round row:
Needle 1 – knit stitches;
Knitting needles 2 and 3 – continue knitting the pattern;
Needle 4 – knit stitches.
2nd round row:
Needle 1 – knit stitches to the last 2 stitches, knit 2 stitches together with a slant to the right;
Knitting needles 2 and 3 – continue knitting the pattern;
Knitting needle 4 - 2 knit stitches together with a slant to the left, knit stitches to the end of the row.
Repeat the last 2 rows 7 more times - there are 64 loops on the needles.
Continue knitting straight without decreasing in the established order until 1.5 repetitions of patterns A, B and C are completed after the cast-on row for the wedge of the foot (up to the 9th row of all patterns inclusive).

How to knit socks with knitting needles with a pattern.
Socks for a 4 year old child. Pattern front and back.
We will need:
pink yarn, sock knitting needles of the appropriate size, I have No. 3.
Description.
We cast on 2 knitting needles folded together 32 loops + 1 to close in a circle. We distribute the loops on 4 knitting needles, 8 loops on each knitting needle.
We knit according to the pattern, repeating rows 3-6. The 7th row in the diagram will be the last in the pattern, instead of 6 (for me this is the 18th row)
We knitted 17 rows according to the pattern, we decided where the front of the toe would be and where the back would be.
18th row. We knit the 7th row of the pattern at the back, and continue the pattern in front, that is, the 6th row.
We knit 6 rows of the front part of 11 loops (in the diagram loops 3-13) according to the pattern, the remaining loops with an elastic band *1 front crossed, 1 purl*.
We knit the next 3 rows on 11 loops, the remaining loops are knit.
Comfortable toe heel.
We take 11 loops on which there was a pattern on the back and knit them in stockinette stitch for 12 rows. In the 13th (front) row we knit together the 2nd and 3rd loops and the 9th and 10th loops. Thus, we make a smooth rounding of the heel.
In the 15th row we also knit the 2nd and 3rd loops and the 7th and 8th stitches together. 7 loops left.
16 row 7 purl.
17th row. We knit 7 knit stitches, cast on 9 stitches from the heel edges, knit 5 knit stitches, 11 according to the pattern, 5 knit stitches, cast on 9 loops.
Further in front, on 11 loops, we continue to knit the pattern, the remaining loops are all knit stitches.
The loops were distributed as follows: 19 loops on the 1st and 2nd knitting needles, the remaining loops on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles.
Row A. Knit 19 stitches evenly, knit 2 together, knit all, knit 2 together.
Row B. No decreases.
Repeat rows A and B until there are 32 stitches left on the needles.
Next we knit exactly to the desired length of the sock. I have 20 rows.
We move on to the elastic band *1 knit crossed, 1 purl on all 32 loops. We knit 6 rows and begin to decrease stitches in 4 places, completing the sock. I made decreases on both sides: *2 knit stitches together with a slant to the left, 1 purl stitch, 2 knit stitches together with a slant to the right, then elastic along the pattern*, repeat from * to *.
We decrease the loops in each row until they run out. Tighten the last loop and cut the thread.
I also knitted baby socks for a newborn using this pattern.
They are completely knitted with rib *1 knit crossed, 1 purl*, and heel and sole.

Socks with low elastic.
We knit socks with a small elastic band and a heel that fits like a glove.
We will need:
yarn Rasskovskaya Angora in 250 g 750 m in 80 g,
sock knitting needles No. 3.
Description. Knitting socks
We will knit in 2 threads: we take from both ends of the skein.
We cast on 2 knitting needles 44 loops + 1 to close in a circle.
We distribute them onto 4 knitting needles.
We knit an elastic band * 1 knit, 1 purl * 12 rows or 5 cm.
Next 7 rows in stockinette stitch (all stitches are knit).
Knitting the heel of a sock.
We knit a strip of 8 stitches in stockinette stitch in turning rows (1 row with knit stitches, 1 row with purl stitches).
20 rows.
In the front row we cast on 11 loops along the edge of this strip. We continue to knit in circles. 36 + cast on 11 more loops on the other side + 8 + 11.
Then, through the row, we make decreases on both sides of the heel: one decrease along the sole (the outermost loop of the sole and the loop of the 11 cast-on stitches are knitted together), the second - the top of the 11 cast-on loops are knitted together with the front one. That is, in one row 4 loops will be decreased each time, the next row is knitted without decreases.
As a result, there will be a triangle along the edges of the heel.
When all the decreases are completed (the triangles are closed), there are again 44 loops on the knitting needles. (There may be 42 loops, this is normal).
We knit in a circle an even fabric of the required length. When the little toe disappears, we begin to form the toe.
Toe.
There are 11 loops on each needle. In each row we knit the last 2 stitches on each needle together.
All! The socks are ready! The heel fits like a glove.
Short socks with a nice elastic band.
The beauty of these socks is the elastic band. The socks are ordinary, but the elastic band is interesting, although it is very easy to knit. You get some kind of “bumps”. It is important to choose the yarn to see the beauty of the pattern. Here I have 100% wool yarn.
First, knit an elastic band *1 purl, 1 knit*. I only have 1 row of elastic knitted on top. You can link more. We knit in a circle.
1 row. *1 purl, from 1 loop we knit 3 as follows: insert the knitting needle behind the front loop, pull out the working thread, yarn over (thread away from you), 1 knit from the front loop*. That is, when we knit 3 from 1 loop, the first time we insert the knitting needle behind the loop, between two loops, and the second time into the first loop on the left knitting needle.
2nd and 3rd row. *1 purl, 3 knit*.
4 row. *Purl 1, knit 3 together*.
I knitted the next 2 rows with an elastic band *purl 1, knit 1*.
Repeat rows 1-4 and 4 more rows of rib *1 purl, 1 knit*.

Comfortable thick socks with 5 knitting needles
The most ordinary socks. Beautiful, warm, versatile.
These are suitable for men, women and children. Walnut color. We will knit in 2 threads: one Rasskovskaya angora (250 g = 750 m), the second, a little lighter - Alize angora gold (100 g = 550 m), with needles No. 4.
Description. How to knit socks
We cast on 48 loops +1 to close into a circle. We distribute them onto 4 knitting needles. We knit an elastic band in the round * 1 knit, 1 purl * 9 rows. More is possible.
Next, use stockinette stitch to create the desired height of the peg.
How to knit a heel to a toe.
On 8 loops we knit a strip of 20 rows. We lift the loops from the sides of this strip (10 on each side). Then, through the row, we decrease the loops on both sides from above until there are 48 loops on the knitting needles again. Clue! If you decrease only at the top, the socks will be on a very wide foot. You can make a few additional decreases on the side of the sole. If the leg is narrow, decrease the loops at the same time both above and below.
We knit exactly the required length of the sock. We knit the toe, decreasing the loops on both sides. There are 2 loops between decreases.
Socks are ready!
HOW TO KNIT SOCKS ON 2 SPOKES.
Men's or women's socks for wide feet. You will need wool yarn, approximately 100 g. If you plan to knit a tall elastic band, then more.
Cast on 49 stitches on needles No. 3. Knit 30 rows with rib *knit 1, purl 1*. Mark the 25th loop (central) with a colored thread or marker. In each front row, knit 5 loops from it (front, yarn over, front, yarn over, front). Knit purl rows according to the pattern. When there are 97 loops on the knitting needle (for size 37), knit 6 rows in garter stitch, that is, all the loops are knit. Run the sole on 13 loops (like a heel). Sew at the back.
A comment:
Without knitting 6 loops on the knitting needles, decrease the middle 3 loops of the sole in each front row until one loop remains from the sole, and then do not sew with a needle, but connect with knitting needles, like a shawl border.
At the same time we make a decrease on the sides.

Recommendations
If you are a beginner, then it would be useful for you to familiarize yourself with the following fairly simple recommendations:
For children's socks, it is advisable to choose softer and thinner threads. This will make it more pleasant for the child to wear socks.
Knitted men's socks can be called ideal if they are made of thick, durable yarn, and the toe and heel are knitted with polyester threads.
If you want your gift to a loved one to be associated with comfort and warmth, knit him socks. Looking at them, he will always remember your love and care.
