According to Dahl's dictionary, chuni are hemp sandals worn at home. That is, to put it in modern language, these are home shoes (slippers) in the shape of a bast shoe. But unlike the primordially Russian chuns, which were knitted from hemp, knit them from soft and warm sheep wool.
It is necessary
- - 100 g of yarn;
- - straight needles number 2 - 2, 5;
- - hook number 1, 5-1, 75.
Instructions
Step 1
Cast on 43 stitches. Work 5-6 rows in garter stitch (knit all stitches).
Step 2
Divide all stitches in half (21 stitches each). Mark the middle of the buttonhole with a contrasting color thread or a marker. Next, knit with the front stitch (in the front rows, all the loops with the front ones, and in the wrong ones - with the wrong ones).
Step 3
In each front row, crochet before and after the middle loop. Knit in this way to the required depth. To do this, periodically try on details on your leg.
Step 4
On the middle 11 sts, knit the sole. To do this, knit 5 loops from one knitting needle, the middle loop and 5 loops from the second knitting needle, and knit the last loop with the next one. Turn the knitting over and knit in a similar way again.
Step 5
Continue knitting until only the sole loops remain. Sew them with a crochet stitch.
Step 6
Then start knitting the backdrop, grabbing one loop from each side. Crochet the upper cut of the chuni with single crochet posts.
Step 7
Such chuni look very beautiful if knitted from bright yarn of a contrasting color. Decorate the top with embroidery or applique.
Step 8
Another easy way is to crochet chuni. Measure the circumference of the ankle, add 4-5 cm to this value. Make a chain of air loops equal to this value and knit 3-5 cm round with single crochet.
Step 9
Next, conditionally divide the knitting into 2 parts and mark the middle. Knit, making increases on both sides of the middle. Try on the part periodically. Tying up to the little finger, knit 5-6 rows without increments. Knitting finish, cut off the thread.
Step 10
Make the sole for these slippers out of felt. Get the correct size insole. Draw a line around it on a piece of felt and cut it out with a sharp knife.
Step 11
Attach the upper part of the chun to the sole and sew the needle by hand, seam first. Decorate the seam with tape or lace.
