Knitting for children is one of the most enjoyable activities for a pregnant woman. Therefore, it is during this period that expectant mothers learn to knit. And they begin their training, as a rule, with knitting booties. And to make them cute, beautiful and delicate, they are best done with a crochet hook.

Instructions
Step 1
Start knitting by creating a yarn ring. Next, knit air loops into this ring - 7 pieces. After that, make a lifting loop and go to the next row of knitting. The second row is 7 single crochet. And again the lifting loop. Then continue knitting in a circle as follows: from each single crochet, knit two single crochets. This will be knitting from the toe of a bootie.
Step 2
You need to knit in this way until the toe of the bootie is equal to half of the baby's leg (in the case of newborns, this is about 4.5 cm). As soon as you reach this mark, start knitting a braid created from air loops. Determine the length of this pigtail, based on how wide the sock of your booties is.
Step 3
Now continue knitting with a straight fabric with single crochet stitches. Just make a couple of increments in the area where the leg enters the bootie (this is necessary so that the baby's chubby leg could easily pass into the shoes). Tie the remaining 4, 5 cm and close the knitting. Your booties are ready.
Step 4
All that remains is to moisten them (so that the wool shrinks naturally) and you can use them. The baby will be warm and comfortable in these. Alternatively, you can knit the booties in a slightly different way. First, make a sole. To do this, cast on a chain of 15 air loops and one for lifting. The length of this chain should be equal to the distance from the base of the baby's toes to the middle of the heel.
Step 5
Next, knit two rows with half-columns. Then go to knitting with single crochets. Do not forget to add a lifting loop at the end of each row and knit two additional corner posts from the corner posts. This is necessary for the bootie to get a rounded shape.
Step 6
Knit the outer row of knitting soles again with half-columns. Close knitting. The top of the booties will be knitted separately. Type the air chain again and knit with half-columns without a crochet, in each row in the middle, decreasing one loop (for this you need to knit two into one). When you knit to the middle of the top, make a few increments of loops (literally 1-2 for expanding the top in the area of / u200b / u200bthe toe). Then continue to knit in the same way.
Step 7
In the penultimate row, knit stitches with either one crochet or two and finish knitting. Now it remains to thread a ribbon into the resulting holes. Booties are ready!
