Booties are the first shoes for babies, so every mother wants them to be the best. Despite the variety of finished products made of leather and textiles, knitted patterns on the baby look especially beautiful, causing affection of others. And although their manufacture can always be ordered from an experienced craftswoman, many mothers tend to crochet booties for their baby on their own. As you know, created loving hands and a thing saturated with the warmth of a mother's soul has a special energy, protecting it from diseases and unkind looks. In addition, do-it-yourself knitting allows you to get unique children's shoes, exactly the way they are seen in fantasies.

Yarn selection

This is an important step towards creating booties for your baby. Yarn should be soft and safe for children's health. When choosing threads, you need to pay attention to their characteristics and quality. Recommendations for choosing yarn for baby booties from experienced knitters:

1. If wool is taken, it is better to give preference to merino. She has short villi, she is soft, the finished canvas does not prick.
2. If a child has an allergy to woolen thread, you can use acrylic to make simple crochet booties. Despite the fact that this yarn is artificial, it allows you to create very soft, pleasant to the touch, beautiful products. They will wash well and not lose their appearance for a long time.
3. Feel free to use microfiber for knitting booties. It has the same properties as cotton, but is more plastic and does not lose its attractiveness for a long time.
4. Elegant openwork models for kids can be made from yarn with viscose or silk. Finished goods pleasant to the touch and quite durable.
5. Soft and fluffy slippers made of plush threads or yarn imitating fur will give warmth and comfort to the child. Such materials will serve as an excellent basis for winter version shoes.

Models for summer are good to knit from cotton or thin acrylic threads. Such booties will be light, cool, children's legs will breathe in them and sweat less. For the manufacture of warm products, thick acrylic yarn, wool or a mixture of both materials is most often used, which warms well in cold weather.

1. Angora. She has long hairs that will stick to the baby's hands and can get into her mouth.
2. Yarn with lurex. Metallic thread will rub or even hurt delicate skin child.

If the choice fell on wool or cotton, some nuances should be taken into account. Woolen products capable of provoking allergic reactions, they can prick, creating discomfort. Cotton after washing can shrink a little and become stiff, so summer products are best knitted from thin acrylic. The threads should not be strongly twisted.

As for shades, it is recommended to choose yarn in delicate pastel colors. It is better not to buy threads with poisonous bright dyes, they not only shed, coloring the baby's skin, but also negatively affect children's health. For girls, pale pink, lilac, mint, golden threads are usually chosen, for boys - blue, green, gray, brown.

Required Tools

Having picked up the yarn to crochet booties for a newborn, you also need to prepare the tool itself. Its length should not exceed 15 cm, otherwise it will be inconvenient for them to work. The size of the hook depends on the thickness of the selected thread:

• acrylic - 1.6;
• microfiber - 1.5-2.5;
• cotton - 1.5-2.

The thicker the yarn, the smaller the hook required. In this case, the shape of the booties will be dense, and all bends and roundings will be clear.

Additionally, the craftswoman may need tapestry needles for stitching parts and attaching decorative elements. Inexperienced knitters will find markers in the form of plastic rings useful - they can be used to mark rows.

How to take measurements

Before starting work, be sure to take measurements. Each baby has its own physique, so the length and fullness of the foot in children of the same age may differ. To crochet booties, patterns are provided for beginners. For their correct construction, you will need measurements of the children's legs.

The main measure is the length of the foot. You can get it by attaching a ruler from the most protruding point of the heel to the extreme point of the thumb. In addition to the results obtained, you need to add 1-3 cm. The volume of the leg is determined by the circumference of the widest part of the foot. The girth of the lower leg is measured immediately above the two protruding bones, tightly applying a centimeter tape to the leg. When recording measurements, allowances for seams must be taken into account.

If the procedure for taking measurements is a problem for beginner knitters, you can use a ready-made table.

Wearing any booties, crocheted, textile or leather, is recommended for babies who are not yet walking. Such a model does not have a hard sole, so constant walking in it will lead to the development of flat feet.

Since booties imitate shoes, they are not worn on a naked body, therefore they need to be knitted in such a way that they can be freely worn over tights or light overalls. It is better to make the top elastic, you can attach a clasp or ties.

Stages of knitting classic booties

Knitted booties consist of several parts: toe, sole, sides and upper part. Each of them is made according to certain rules. warm booties more like small boots, and summer ones look like socks.

Sole

If the child is plump, crochet booties on an oval sole. It should not be narrowed in the toe or heel area. You can focus on this example, painted for beginners step by step:

1. First, a chain of 12 VPs is made ( air loops) and an additional 3 lifting loops (for knitting double crochets - CH).
2. In the third loop from the edge, you need to start knitting CH (10 pieces). Next, 7 CHs are knitted into the last VP. After that, you need to do another 10 CH. In the first VP knit 6 CH and a connecting column.
3. A new row starts with 3 lifting loops and 11 dc. For rounding, 2 CHs are knitted into each previous column. Repeat all actions should be 5 times.
4. Next, 12 CHs are knitted in a row, after which the rounding is repeated again, as at the beginning of the row (2 CHs in the previous column, repeat 5 times). The row ends with a connecting column.
5. The next round starts with 3 lifting loops, continues 13 CH. Rounding is done as in the previous row, but the knitting of the columns is repeated 6 times.
6. Next, you need to make 16 CHs, rounding, 2 more CHs and a connecting post in the last lifting loop.

The length of such a sole is 11 cm, and the width is 6. If you need to reduce the size, you can change the number of circular rows. Instead of double crochets, you can use columns without it. To adjust the size, you should also reduce or increase the number of air loops in the chain.

After the sole is completed, you can start knitting the sides. This should be done behind the back half-loop of the column of the previous row. Depending on the volume of the foot, 2-3 rows of CH are knitted along the edge of the sole. No additions or subtractions are required.

toe

Depending on the scheme, this part may have a different shape: pointed or rounded. If an inexperienced craftswoman is trying to learn how to knit booties, to facilitate the task of the toe, it is better to make it separately, and then sew it on. The patterns and description of knitting this part of the booties are offered below:

1. Row 1. It is necessary to dial 5 VP. Next, 3 lifting loops are made, 5 CH, and then rounding (2 CH 7 times are knitted into each column of the previous row) and 6 CH.
2. Row 2. It is knitted in the same way as the first, but for rounding you need to knit 2 CHs in each column of the previous row, repeating the procedure 7 times.
3. The final row. It is made in the same way as the previous one, but for rounding, the knitting of the columns is repeated 14 times.

In order to attach the toe to the sides, you can use connecting posts.

The seam should look outward so as not to rub the delicate fingers of the baby.

booties top

Crochet booties are different, depending on the model of the product. Most often, such shoes are made with a bootleg. The diameter of the upper part is equal to half the length of the foot. A knitted fabric can be solid and made from double crochet or single crochet, or it can become the basis for decorative elements (mesh).

To crochet booties for a boy, a regular lapel will do. Most often, a double crochet is used for knitting the top. No subtractions or additions are required. For ease of putting on, and also so that the shoes do not slip, there should be ties on the tops, holes in the canvas are provided for them. The knitting pattern will be as follows: 2 CH, 2 VP. This rapport needs to be repeated only 1 time, after which a single canvas is made.

To make the shin come out smart, you can use the “tick” columns. From the previous column of the first row, 1 CH, 1 VP, 1 CH are knitted. In the following rows, this combination is knitted from an air loop.

Decoration

The model in the form of openwork crochet booties is more suitable for girls. In addition, the product can be decorated to your liking. The most common options are:

1. Knitted applications. There is complete freedom of fantasy - butterflies, hearts, flowers. The appliqué is fastened with the same threads from which it was crocheted. The stitches are pulled through the toe and the decorative element.
2. Satin bows and ribbons.
3. Openwork binding of the sole, lapel.

It is important to remember that any decorative elements it is necessary to sew firmly so that the baby cannot tear them off. Also, they should not contain small parts so that the child cannot swallow them.

The nuances of manufacturing, taking into account the model

Having figured out how to knit basic booties for a newborn, you can try to complicate the task. After the model of the future product is selected, you will definitely need a knitting pattern with a description, it will not be superfluous to also view a master class on the topic. Only in this way will beginner craftswomen be able to cope with the task.

Openwork

These are perhaps the most popular booties for girls. They consist of the same parts as standard products. Most often, thin acrylic threads and a 1.5 hook are used for making. After the sole is made, you can start making the sides. Here the first row is knitted with a BN column without decreases and additions. In this case, the capture is made for the column of the previous row.

1. Row 1. Requires 3 lifting loops, after which you need to knit CH in a circle. When moving from the toe to the shaft in the side part, you need to make 2 CH. The row ends with a connecting loop.
2. Row 2: 3 lifting loops, after which 1 VP and 1 CH are repeated to the end of the row.
3. Row 3: The whole circle is knitted with CH columns.
4. Row 4: Repeat row 2.

In such products, the rise can be made standard, and the toe and top can be openwork. When working, you need to take into account that such models practically do not stretch.

Booties-shoes for girls

Knitted light shoes are also perfect for a baby. They are useful for everyday wear or special occasions, depending on the availability of decor and its features. Yarn for work should be soft, pleasant to the touch.

First you need to tie the sole, it is done according to the standard scheme. After this CH, small sides are made. Just 2 rows is enough. Next, you can start knitting the strap. To do this, you need to dial 20 VP. In the 4th loop from the side of the hook, you need to work 1 CH. After that, you need to make 2 VPs, in the 3rd and 4th loops of the chain - 1 CH each, again 2 VPs. Until the end of the row, double crochets should be knitted. After the product is completed, you can proceed to finish it at your discretion.

Ballet booties

To make such crochet booties for newborns, you can take a pattern of ballet flats with a detailed description. They differ from other models in that they do not have a top and are more like slippers. Instead of a toe, it is allowed to use decorative crocheted items.

In order for the product to sit well on the leg, it is advisable to use elastic yarn containing elastane. Ballet shoes can be decorated with knitted or decorative elements. Optionally, a laconic design is left.

Sneakers

For a boy, you can crochet booties in the form of fashionable sneakers. They look very elegant and original. Usually threads of several shades are used for manufacturing. It is necessary to knit products with half-columns or RLS (single crochet), in which case they will keep their shape well. When making booties, you need to consider the following nuances:

1. The sole is made according to the usual scheme, light yarn is used for work. After completing the element, the thread must be secured and cut.
2. To make the rise, you will need yarn of the main shade. It should be noted that the first row should be perpendicular to the sole. This will bring the model as close as possible to real shoes.
3. To knit a toe, a main pattern is required.
4. Next, they collect and knit the loops of the front of the product, which will form the tongue. The base of the sneaker must be made so that it overlaps on the side of the toe. In this case, the sides should touch each other, so the effect of a real fastener is created.
5. Laces are knitted last. Here it is enough to use a chain from the VP. The length is adjustable as desired. Instead of laces, you can take thin satin ribbons, which will match the main part of the sneakers in color. To fix them, the sides of the fabric are knitted with holes along the edges.

To decorate such shoes, you can embroider the logo of some popular brand.

booties-boots

it best option shoes for children in the cold season. For the manufacture of such a model, yarn of two shades is required. It is better to use tool number 2.5. Crochet process step by step:

1. Making the sole (length - 9 cm). First you need to dial 15 VP. Further, 2 CHs are performed in the 4th VP, after which 10 CHs are knitted into each next loop. In the last VP, you need to complete 6 CH. The remaining 10 CHs are knitted symmetrically. In the very loop in which the first 2 CHs were made, you need to knit 3 more CHs. Further rows are performed similarly. As for rounding, in this area you need to knit 2 CHs in each column of the previous row. You need to close the rows with 1 joint venture (connecting loop).
2. Sides. They need to be performed RLS. Subtractions or additions are not required. Crochet 3-4 rows - it all depends on the volume of the foot. To round the front part, you need to decrease the loops several times.
3. Shaft. The upper part is knitted with a dense fabric. Here you can use columns with or without a crochet. To connect the loops of each row, 1 joint venture is required. To start the row, you need 3 VP.

To prevent the boots from slipping off the child’s foot, a lace must be passed between the lower leg and the lower part. Some craftswomen sew on an elastic band, but here it is worth considering that it can squeeze the ankle, causing discomfort to the baby.

In the form of animals

Especially beautiful crochet booties imitating the faces of animals. Here you need fantasy yarn: textured, "grass". In all cases, basic schemes are used. The main focus is on the finish of the product. There are no strict rules for making booties - it all depends on the imagination of the craftswoman. Most popular options:

1. "Hedgehogs". For manufacturing, you will need threads of the “grass” type with a long pile. Color can be black or dark brown. To highlight the nose and eyes of a hedgehog, you should use bulk knitting or embroidery, buttons for small children will be dangerous. Usually, only the upper part is done with “grass”, while acrylic can be used for the lower one.
2. "Crocodiles". Feature products - a special "scale" pattern used to make the bootleg. For knitting the base, standard double crochets or without are used.
3. "Bears". Such booties made of plush threads will look spectacular. Ears and muzzle elements are sewn on the toe. To make the nose look more voluminous, you can put a synthetic winterizer under it.
4. "Minions". Knit like normal booties. For work, threads of yellow, black and blue flowers. To complement the image, you can make a contrast strapping along the edge of the sole.

It is easy to crochet booties in the form of animals. With a little effort and imagination, it will turn out to make original shoes for babies, which can be worn not only at home, but also for walks.

Beautiful and safe decor

Even the most simple booties crochet can be made unique and original if you use bright decorative elements. But they should be as safe as possible in size, material of manufacture. It is impossible for the component to injure the baby. For design, it is not allowed to use beads, buttons, but multi-colored ribbons, sewn or knitted applications are acceptable.

It is forbidden to glue decorative elements, as a child can quickly tear them off and put them in his mouth. You need to fix everything with threads. No pins or rivets are allowed. For boys, you can use applications of the appropriate theme: marine, automotive, cartoon superheroes. It is interesting to look at the booties on the satin stitch embroidery. Ornaments can be completely different. Only threads are used, beads cannot be used. For girls, flowers, hearts are suitable as a pattern, for boys - ethnic motifs.

Sequins, popular today, should not be used for embroidery, as their sharp corners and edges can scratch the skin of the baby.

Sole pattern for simple knitted booties

1. We knit a slipper

In order to continue crocheting the booties, we need to make a transition row. Such a scar that will visually highlight the border of the sole. To achieve the effect of a scar, we will use the technique of a convex relief column without a crochet.

6 row - 2 VP lifting, we knit the whole row with convex half-columns without increments.

The convex PSB according to the knitting technology is the same as all other embossed columns. Read more about this in the article.

We introduce the hook not into the loop of the column bottom row, but as if crocheting the leg of the underlying column,

we grab the working thread and pull it out, and then we knit like a regular sc

How to make or knit bootie laces

• You can knit a chain of air loops of the desired length and walk along it with connecting posts or single crochets
• The second option is to link
• The third option - you can simply twist the yarn and make a twisted lace or weave a pigtail
• You can also use simple children's laces or narrow ribbons for ties.
• I prefer knitting - I just love it)))

How to put laces in booties

When you and I knitted simple crochet booties, we did not make holes for the ties. In general, I consider it unnecessary to make such holes when crocheting ... Since most knittings leave rather large distances between the columns, where you can insert a lace without much difficulty.

And for more comfortable work on threading the strings into the product, we need an ordinary safety pin, though not a big one. On which, you need to fix the tip of the lace and stretch the pin between two or three columns of the entire 14th row (see photo below). And the lace will also stretch behind the pin. Here, in general, and all the wisdom ...

It turns out simple crochet booties crocheted with half-columns

The size of the sole of knitted booties is 9 cm.

For knitting, we need yarn of two colors Pekhorka "Children's novelty" (composition: 100% acrylic, 50g / 200 m) and hook No. 2.5.

Scheme of knitting the soles of booties:

We knit a chain of 15 air loops.

1 row: insert the hook into the 4th loop from the hook of the chain (3 air loops correspond to 1 double crochet) and knit 2 double crochets,

in the last loop we knit 6 columns with a crochet, knitting turns,

knit symmetrically in the next 10 loops, 1 double crochet,

in the very first loop, in which we knitted 2 double crochets, we knit 3 more double crochets

and close the row with a connecting column in the 3rd lifting air loop.

2 row: we knit 3 lifting air loops and in the same loop of the base we knit a double crochet,

in the next 2 loops we knit 2 columns with a crochet,

in the next 10 loops we knit 1 double crochet,

in the next 6 turning loops we knit 2 columns with a crochet,

in the next 10 loops we knit 1 double crochet,

in the remaining 3 loops of the row we knit 2 double crochets in each loop,

We close the row with a connecting column in the 3rd lifting air loop.

3 row: we knit 3 lifting air loops and in the same loop of the base we knit a double crochet,

in the next loop we knit 1 double crochet,

in the next loop we knit 2 double crochets, in the next loop 1 double crochet, in the next loop 2 double crochets, in the next 1 double crochet,

in the next 10 loops we knit 1 double crochet,

*in the next loop we knit 2 columns with a crochet, in the next loop 1 column with a crochet*,

repeat from * 5 more times,

in the next 10 loops we knit 1 double crochet,

then repeat from * 3 more times, i.e. in the next loop we knit 2 double crochets, in the next 1 double crochet, in the next loop we knit 2 double crochets, in the next 1 double crochet, in the next loop we knit 2 double crochets, in the next 1 double crochet.

The size of the sole turned out to be 9 cm.

We close this row with a connecting column in the 3rd lifting air loop with a thread turquoise color.

4 row: we knit 1 lifting air loop and in the same loop of the base we knit a single crochet, then in each loop behind the back wall of the loop we knit single crochets, 1 column in each loop, in this row we should get 56 columns.

We close the row with a connecting column in the first single crochet of this row with a thread white color.

We will knit all subsequent rows without lifting loops.

5 row: we insert a hook into the same loop of the base, pull out the thread and knit the first single crochet, then we knit 1 single crochet into each loop. 56 columns should be in this row.

We close the row with a connecting column in the first single crochet of this row.

6 row: we insert a hook into the same loop of the base, pull out the thread and knit a single crochet, only we knit 2 loops on the hook with a turquoise thread,

in the next loop we knit a single crochet, we knit only 2 loops on the hook with a white thread,

in the next loop we knit in the same way a single crochet, knitting 2 loops on the hook with a turquoise thread,

Thus, alternating the color of the thread, we knit single crochets to the end of the row.

7 row: we knit with a white thread 1 single crochet in each loop (56 stitches).

We close the row with a turquoise thread in the first single crochet of this row.

8 row: we knit with a turquoise thread 1 single crochet in each loop.

We close the row with a connecting column in the first column without a crochet with a white thread.

9 row: insert the hook into the same loop of the base and knit the first single crochet, then knit another 17 single crochet,

then we knit 2 double crochets with a common top 10 times, * those. in the next loop we knit a double crochet without knitting it to the end, in the next loop we also knit a double crochet without knitting it to the end, then we knit 3 loops on the hook together at a time.*

Repeat from * 9 more times. Out of 20 loops, 10 came out.

in the next loop we knit a double crochet, in the next loop we knit a half-column with a crochet,

10 row: we start knitting as well as the previous one, we knit 18 single crochets,

over the half-column with a crochet of the previous row we knit a half-column with a crochet, over a column with a crochet we knit a column with a crochet,

in the next loop above the double crochet of the previous row we knit a double crochet, in the next loop above the half double crochet we knit a half double crochet,

11 row: we knit 18 columns without a crochet,

in the next loop we knit a half-column with a crochet, in the next loop we knit a column with a crochet,

then we knit 5 double crochets with a common top, i.e. we knit 5 untied double crochets, there should be 6 loops on the hook, we knit these 6 loops at a time, then we knit a double crochet into the next loop, and knit a half crochet into the next loop

and 14 single crochets knit to the end of the row. We close the row with a connecting column in the first single crochet.

We knit the next 12th row in a circle, knitting 1 single crochet in each loop. In total, there should be 37 single crochets in this row. We close the row with a connecting column in the first single crochet.

Thus, as the 12th row, we knit 8 more rows with single crochets.

After that, turn the knitting over and knit a row with single crochets, inserting the hook behind the back wall of the loop. In order for the number of loops in this row to be even, we knit 2 single crochets in any loop. In this row, you should get 38 single crochets.

We close the row with a connecting column in the first single crochet with a turquoise thread and then knit the pattern that we knitted at the very beginning, repeating rows 4 to 8.

We knit the second bootie in the same way.

Having been born into the world, a newborn, whether it is a girl or a boy, knows little about new trends in fashion, about high-quality clothes, about stylish decoration. So to speak, the basis for self-expression from the cradle is mostly set by the mother, less often by the father. Beautiful crochet booties for newborns are in great demand among young mothers, because what is made with love for their child is, first of all, high-quality needlework that protects both from the cold and from possible negative energy influences.

It's great if the baby's wardrobe is complemented by stylish and colorful booties, which do not take much time to knit. Especially if you get carried away once, there is a high probability that you will like it, and with a sharp sense of dignity and joy you will knit booties for each new costume for your child.

The style and format of the shape of booties has no boundaries. Made in different color schemes, they look perfect with an additional attribute. For example, bows for girls and cars for boys. You can make booties in the form of some animal or just sneakers with laces.

We will analyze these and other models in detail in our article, and you yourself will see that crocheting the booties, the scheme of which is clear and detailed, will not take much effort. Do not doubt that the baby will definitely appreciate your efforts and will look at his baby with curious interest. beautiful new thing made with love from mom.

Booties are used both for everyday wear and for a holiday. It will be very convenient if you can sew a thick leather insole on the sole of the booties, then the child will be able to walk with such booties on the street or take the first steps. And even if baby booties are not planned to be dressed for the holiday, make them bright, because colors play a beneficial role on the impression of the baby and his development.

A few rules when preparing for knitting

The skin of babies is so delicate that sometimes even a short contact with synthetic fiber can cause irritation and a rash. With these features in mind, we recommend:

• The choice of knitting fabric should be from natural fibers;
• Be attentive to small accessories sewn on booties. Sew them very securely to the threads or completely abandon small details, because the baby can inadvertently tear them off and taste them;
• Determine the size depending on the size of the foot and the age of the baby;
• The child's fingers should not be tightly compressed together;
• Do not use internal seams, they can obviously irritate the baby's delicate skin.

How to choose the right yarn

As noted earlier, for babies, they make a choice only in favor of natural fibers: wool, acrylic, cotton. Cotton is ideal for hot summer weather, the skin will breathe and the legs feel comfortable. Wool and acrylic will be indispensable in winter conditions, they will keep the legs warm.

When choosing yarn, pay attention to what structure it has. If the coat is rather rough or creates a “prickly” effect when touched, then, of course, it is better to refuse it. After all, at some point the baby will want to get on his feet and take the first steps, and he can simply abandon his natural desires from discomfort. Another exception, despite its soft texture, is angora wool.

Very often, the baby's palms are wet, do not neglect this. Taking his booties in his hands, he can roll up a considerable ball of wool, which later can become a problem if it enters the child's mouth.
It is recommended by experts to use merino wool for knitting for newborns. The composition of such wool is completely natural and, moreover, does not cause allergic reactions on the skin of a child. In some cases, cotton yarn is used along with acrylic.

Accessories for booties

Properly decorated booties can determine the gender of the child, the taste preferences of the mother, and also what kind of exit they are intended for (ordinary or festive). Having entered the store, pay your attention to the optimal accessories for baby booties:

• Applications;
• Satin braid;
• Lace;
• Embroidery;
• Velcro;
• Ties.

When choosing beads, and indeed any other accessory, try to check them for strength after the first wash, so as not to risk if they suddenly end up in the hands of a child. Thanks to Velcro and ties, you can easily fix the baby's leg, this will eliminate the possibility of the booties falling off.

The size of booties for a newborn: how to calculate

The size of booties is usually taken based on the age of the baby. From birth to eight months, booties can be made from the following scheme: newborns - 9 cm, from 3 to 6 months plus 1 cm, at 8 months 11 cm.

Diagrams and descriptions

To understand what is more convenient for you to knit or crochet, start with the easiest option for connecting the patches. If you are determined to more complex schemes, proceed, just remember the sequential instructions that you must follow. Crochet booties are especially often used, let's describe the crochet lessons for beginners.

Given the age of the child, you will need no more than 50 grams of knitting yarn. In order to start any style of booties, you should form the sole, and then start knitting the top.
Consider crochet patterns that are not difficult for newborns. We knit according to the scheme:

The red arrow indicates the beginning of the knitting. For example, we will dial 16 loops, where one of them is additional for raising the row. In the resulting closed chain, you should measure the length so that it matches as much as possible with the leg of the newborn from heel to toe.

When forming the sole, focus on the density of the loops. We knit the first rows of half-columns as in the diagram, then we move on to the tables. The task is this: from one loop you should knit two tables, and the last row with half-columns.

Crocheting booties for the upper part suggests the following pattern:

This diagram shows part of the knit from the sole to the ankles. The first part is a table without throwing a thread on the hook, followed by six dozen loops.

Beautiful booties for a little princess

As usual, the beginning of the work of knitting booties begins with the formation of the sole. Take hook number 2.5.

For a more detailed description, refer to the step-by-step steps.

1 row: On the hook we collect 17 in. loops, we knit with the third. Without throwing (nakida), we collect 7 columns, then 7 tables with throwing and 4 tables without throwing into the last loop and connecting table.

2nd row: 3 in. loops, column (table-to) with throwing in the same area. 14 throw tables (2 throw tables from one loop - five times. 16 throw tables, 3 throw tables from one loop, connecting table.

3rd row: 3 in. loops, 15 tables with throwing, (2 tables with threading from one loop, table with throwing) - 2 times, (3 tables with throwing from one loop) - 2 times, (table with with throwing, 2 tables with throwing from one loop) - 2 times, 16 tables with throwing threads, (2 tables with throwing threads from one loop, standing with throwing threads) - 2 times, (3 table with a crochet from one loop) - 2 times, (table with throwing thread, 2 table with throwing from one loop) - 2 times, connecting table-ik.

4th row: c. loop, we tie a whole row of tables without throwing a thread on the hook, we finish with a connecting table.

5th row: 3 in. loops, we form the entire row of tables without throwing our insole over the back half-loop, we finish the final row with a connecting table.

6th row: 3 in. loops, we knit the whole row of tables with threading, we finish with a connecting table.

We form five connecting loops. Now it's time to knit the bootie from the inside.
9 row: 3 air loops, 27 tables with threading.

For the jumper, we dial 20 in. loops.
10 row: we knit in the fourth loop from the hook table-to with a throw, 2 in. loops, skip 2 tables of the past row and knit 2 tables with threading, again knit 2 in. loops - skip 2 loops of the past row and knit to the end of the row with a double crochet table.

The final touch - we tie the edges of the booties with tables without throwing a thread on the hook.

We sew on the necessary accessories.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated, and the result is exquisite.

Booties for a boy step by step

Crochet booties for a boy are distinguished by their color palette. The color of booties is usually chosen in strict shades: blue, dark green, olive, gray, sometimes white.

So, to start knitting the next model, we need delicate natural yarn in two colors.
We recruit 12 air p. + 3 v.p.p. (in the amount of 15 ch), we take a hook in the 4th loop from the hook of a vicious circle and knit 3 rows according to the above pattern.

After three rows, change color.

4th row - in each table-ik (back) we knit a loop without throwing a thread. As a result, 56 loops should come out.

5th row the same. As a result, we have two rows knitted with white thread.

Back to blue. We start work by knitting the “bumps” (2 in. loops, after 2 unfinished tables, then one in. loop)

We skip one loop and again make a “bump”.

The next step is followed by one c. the loop

And so a whole series, after - close. 7th - repeat the 6th row

We conclude the row in a chain and cut the thread. We begin to knit the ledge, marking the center with a white thread.

We draw the hook into the back wall of the loop and knit a white "knob" from 2 not integral loops.

After we knit “round bumps from 3 non-integral loops to the center (get 14 pieces). The final bump of two non-integral loops.

We turn the knitting over and also knit "round bumps"

As a result, we get 7 pieces, then we need to tie them together.

We finish another row as well.

2 more rows and again we take the blue thread to work.

We decorate the frill by knitting 3 in. loops for each table.

Here is such a master class on creating a new attribute in the boys wardrobe can be knitted with your own hands.

Where can I buy everything you need to create stylish booties

Usually, an attribute for creativity can be ordered in two ways. The first is to place an order online from an online store, the second is to buy it in haberdashery stores. When choosing a product, it is necessary to take into account the main features, because the product should be as safe as possible for a small child.

Not only an important feature is its ecology and natural properties, the main thing is that the material does not cause allergic reactions in the crumbs. To do this, after you have tried on new booties, make sure that there is no redness. Allergies usually show up on the same day.
