Booties are a wonderful element of children's shoes for a toddler, giving the knitter the opportunity to dream up both in the choice of style and in their decoration. The upper part of these wonderful shoes can be decorated in a variety of ways: folds, laces, straps, laces with pompoms are knitted. The lower part - the sole, although simple and unsightly, is functional in nature and must be knitted especially carefully so that your baby is comfortable.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many options for knitting booties, both knitting and crocheting.
Step 2
Crochet booties start from the sole. Tie a chain of 15 chain stitches and another one to raise the row. In order not to be mistaken with the size, measure in the following way: the length of the chain is approximately equal to the distance from the base of the child's toes to the middle of the heel.
Step 3
Next, from your chain, begin to knit half-columns. This will create a fairly tight knit that fits the outsole perfectly. Knit the columns with one crochet and without a crochet. Single crochet stitches are knitting in which two stitches are knitted from one loop.
Step 4
The last row of the sole is tied with a row of half-columns. Also, the sole can also be knitted with one double crochet. That is, in the places where the sole is rounded, 7 double crochets are knitted from one air loop.
Step 5
When knitting the soles of booties with knitting needles, everything is also very easy and simple. Knit the sole with a stocking knit. Cast on 5 loops. Knit the first row. At the end of each of the next 4 rows, add 2 loops.
Step 6
Thus, 13 loops are involved in the work. Work 20 rows, then add one more stitch at the beginning and end of the knit row. Through the front row, repeat the increase and knit 6 rows, 17 loops are involved in the work.
Step 7
Next, you should reduce the loops at the beginning of each row: 2 times, two and 2 times - one at a time. Close the last 5 loops in a row.
The sole is ready.
