Knitting with 100% Acrylic Yarn: Essential Instructions and Techniques

You’ll Need:

100% acrylic yarn in white color;

Double-pointed knitting needles, size 4.5.

Instructions

Cast on 48 sts and divide them into 4 knitting needles, then knit in the following way:

• 1st row: knit;
• 2nd row: purl;
• 3rd row: knit;
• 4th row: purl;
• 5th and 6th rows: knit around;
• 7th row: knit;
• 8th row: purl;
• 9th row: knit;
• 10th row: purl;
• 11th and 12th rows: knit around;
• 13th row: make holes for cords: yarn over, knit 2 together through the back loop;
• 14th row: repeat the 1st to 12th rows. Then, work with 2 knitting needles (24 sts) using knit sts, and on the other 2 knitting needles (24 sts) – pattern (upper part of the toe).

Heel

Make a 7-10 cm cloth: in right-side (RS) rows – knit sts, in wrong-side (WS) rows – slip 1 st without knitting, yarn in front of work. Then, divide 24 sts into 3 parts: 7 + 10 + 7 sts. Knit only the central (7 + 10 + 7) 10 sts, making decreases at the end of every row by knitting 2 sts together: in RS row – knit 2 together, in WS row – purl 2 together. Continue this way until there are 10 sts left on the knitting needles. Lift side sts and knit around, making decreases until there are 12 sts left on each needle.
