Instructions
Step 1
Choose a yarn for knitting Use a yarn with a high wool content (about 30%) and cashmere (about 60%) for making warm footprints, and with an admixture of acrylic (10% is enough) for strength. For a pair of tracks of 36-37 sizes, you will need approximately 50 g of yarn 200m / 50 g. For knitting with this thread thickness, hook number 2 is suitable.
Step 2
Prepare the yarn for work Before knitting, it is advisable to wash the yarn in hams in warm water. Use baby soap as a detergent, not laundry detergent. After washing, the yarn should be rinsed twice in clean water and once in water with the addition of vinegar.
Step 3
Follow the pattern Begin by knitting a ring of six chain stitches. Knit the second and third rows with double crochets, doubling the number of loops. In the fourth row, add loops when knitting every second, and in the fifth after every third column. Now you can move on to the next part.
Step 4
Make a sock Tie fifteen rows in a circle without changing the number of loops, this way, most of the sock will form. The length of the toe can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of rows. For reliability, it is better to try on the product while knitting and make adjustments as desired.
Step 5
Form the sole To do this, continue to knit double crochets, but not in a circle, but in straight and reverse rows. Fifteen is enough, but don't forget to try on and fit, especially if you've changed the number of rows when knitting a sock.
Step 6
Tie the heel Make sure the garment is long enough, then fold it in half and knit one row with single crochets, joining the two pieces of the garment together. The location of the seam on the wrong side is more aesthetically pleasing, but if the skin of the feet is sensitive, then on the front side it is more comfortable.
Step 7
Tie the product around the edge with single crochets, for this a thread of a different color is good. For decorative purposes, you can embroider an ornament, decorate the footprint with pompons, bows and ribbons. If you attach a sole to such footsteps, you get wonderful home slippers.
