The whole work can be divided into several stages, which need to be performed in a certain sequence. First, the upper part, having a pattern of elastic, is tied. This is done so that the toe tightly snaps to the leg and does not fall off. If you do short knitted socks, then this part should be low, and if it's long knitted socks, then the height of the shank should be more than 10 cm. Then the heel, foot and toe are knit.
