Indoor slippers "Comfort" with felt soles
You will need:
A pair of felt insoles of the required size (we have 38);
Awl;
Yarn - 100g / 300m, wool mixture;
Hooks - No. 3 and No. 2;
Needle.

At the first stage, you need - insoles, an awl and hook No. 2. The insoles need to be tied with single crochets (st. b.n.). To do this, we pierce holes in the insole with an awl, retreating 5 mm from the edge. The distance between the holes should also be 5 mm. To avoid tightening the edge and uniformity of the strapping, perform 1 air loop (vp) between the posts.
Tip: In order not to lose the holes, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the felt, it is better to tie at the same time as making the holes. That is, pierce and then do st.b.s.

For greater aesthetics of the product and a light massage effect, as well as so that the feet are not too hot from the felt sole, we will make a duplicate insole. It repeats the shape of the insole and is performed as follows:
For 38 leg sizes, we collect a pigtail from 38 ch. already with the main hook No. 3 and knit in a spiral:
1st p. - from Art. b. n, knitting 3 columns in the first and last loop.
2 p. - again Art. b. n., but 3 end columns turn into 6, thanks to increases.
3 p. - shaping the insole. The narrow part is knitted. b. n., in the place of its expansion 2 half-columns with a crochet, and wide - with columns with 1 crochet. We continue to make additions.
4 p. performed by analogy with 3 p. The only difference is that now 2 p / st with n. shifted 2 loops closer to the narrow part of the insole, relative to 3 p.
5 and subsequent rows - We knit st.b.n. along the contour of the sample. Constantly applying the sample to the insole, the moment of knitting completion is determined.
Tip: It is better to make a knitted sample 3-5 mm smaller than a felt one along the contour. Sewn a little "tight" it will not puff. In addition, the felt insole will "sit down" a bit when worn.
We sew a knitted insole to a felt insole with a large needle with frequent stitches “over the edge”.

This is how the completely finished slipper sole looks on the reverse side:

For the upper part of the slipper, we collect 5 ch. We turn over when moving to each new row, performing 1 ch. rise before knitting a new row.
1. Double the number of loops by knitting 2 tbsp. b. n. from one loop.
2. We knit without changes 10 tbsp. b. n.
3. Double (= 20 loops).
4. No change Art. 20 b. n.
5. An increase at the beginning and at the end, as well as on the central 2 tbsp. b. n. (= 24 p.).
6. 24 st. b. n.
7. Increases (28 st. b. N.).
8. 28 Art. b. n.
At this point, the end of the additions can be marked by tying a colored thread, or by putting on a marker or pin. Next, we knit on 28 loops of st.b.n. in straight and reverse rows before the start of lifting the foot - 11 "stripes" of the canvas.
It turned out the top of the slipper - "shell":

For a more comfortable fit and secure fastening of the top of the slipper to the sole, we perform "sides". At the extreme 8 st.b.n. , starting from the edge, we perform a gradual decrease in the number of columns. Decreases are made through the row, only along the front side of the sample on one side, starting from the 2nd row, until 1 loop remains, which we close and break the thread. Do the same on the other side.

This is what the resulting sample looks like, folded in half:

We sew it to the sole, marking the middle points and aligning them. It is more convenient to sew in two stages - separately from the middle to the sides.

We tie the finished slippers with a small hook No. 2, alternating st. b. n. and "shells" from Art. double crochet with pico.

Knitted slippers with felt soles are a great option for winter, and in general they are much more attractive than simple sock slippers due to their increased wear resistance. In addition, they are more comfortable for the foot, which receives a large share of depreciation. And it’s not difficult to make such home shoes on your own, because it can be done even with simple columns on air loops, without any frills.

The most difficult moment in this product is not the sole, but the upper part of the slippers: it can be done in several ways. The easiest is to first tie the sock, connect it to the inside of the sole and tie it in a circle, thereby creating low sides. The option is suitable for those who need classic slippers in which the heel remains open. If you want to get warm closed slippers, a strip is knitted separately, which will become a high side skirt, after which it is sewn to the toe and inner sole. In any case, there are unchanged details - this is the insole and toe.

• It is recommended to knit slippers from woolen or half-woolen yarn. For a foot 24 cm long (37 size), you will need about 100/300 yarn. Hooks for standard knitting are used under numbers 2 and 3. In addition, a needle and an awl, as well as insoles, the creation of which will be discussed a little later, will come in handy.

You can crochet slippers using absolutely any technique available to you, but if you are still a beginner in working with a crochet, you should turn to classic knitting. The diagram below is focused on a medium-sized leg, so adjust the number of loops for yourself.

1. Cast on 9 air loops, turn the chain over and knit it in the opposite direction.
2. Start increasing the width of the canvas: the alternation will be as follows - double crochet, double crochet, pull 2 ​​out of the loop through double crochets, and again double crochet and double crochet. Go back through the crossed columns.
3. The next rows increase by knitting each loop as a column with 2 crochets.
4. From the 11th row, start from the middle to replace 4-5 columns with 2 crochets with single ones, and also put 4 crossed columns in the center. Thus, on the 13th row there will be 8 of them, on the 15th - 12, and on the 17th - already 16 crossed columns.
5. The 18th row is knitted as 26 crossed columns in the center, 4 columns with a crochet in each direction, and 3 columns with 2 crochets closing.

If such a knitting pattern seems complicated to you, you can simply increase the number of loops on each even row by pulling 2 single crochets from each. In this case, you need to make a triangle of 6-8 rows, then continue to knit an even fabric in straight rows up to the 12th (20th in total) row.

• Now it is necessary, where the last loop turned out, to start making a side tape (for slippers with an open heel): make 3-4 rows with ordinary crossed columns. The length of the tape is selected according to the length of the foot.

After these steps, the simpler part remains - the insole and sole. And on the video you can learn a simpler way without dividing the parts, but with the complicated creation of the lower part.

How to make a sole for slippers?

Professionals recommend purchasing felt insoles of the required size and width, after which it remains only to tie the inner sole according to their silhouette. If you need to work with felt personally, put your foot on it, circle it with a pen or soap, placing it perpendicular to the surface, and cut out the resulting silhouette.

• To knit the inner sole, you can resort to any of the available techniques: either weave a pigtail in 35 loops and build up rows in a spiral in a circle, in the shape of an oval, which is the easiest way; or make a rectangle of crossed columns, after which, alternating them and half-columns, complete it on each side with semicircles. The finished insole should be oval shaped and exactly the same as the felt sole.
• The insole is sewn to the felt with a needle, the thread is thrown over the edge. After that, it remains only to do the same with the top of the slippers.

Making slippers for children and adults is one of the most popular projects of many needlewomen.

It's safe to say that almost every one of us has tried to knit, sew or felt them out of wool. However, sometimes you want to skip the step of selecting the right number of loops, inventing or adapting a pattern, adjusting sizes and proceed directly to the knitting process, knowing exactly what will happen as a result.

Since demand dictates supply, I would like to provide you with my version of knitted house slippers.

The material for such products, most often, is yarn of different colors and textures, which remained in a small amount after knitting larger products. Quality and composition do not matter, although the percentage of wool or mohair will make the slippers warmer, and nylon, polyamide or cotton will give durability.

When working with leftovers, it is important to correctly calculate their amount so that there is enough yarn for two identical products. To do this, you can immediately wind them into two identical balls. It is rather difficult to indicate the exact thickness of the yarn, since I mixed several types (acrylic and mohair), but you can focus on the size of the hook - No. 3.5.

Felt insoles of the right size are very suitable for the sole. They are soft and at the same time quite hard. Alternatively, you can cut out the sole from a piece of leather or canvas, but these will need to be further reinforced to make the slippers comfortable.

The meaning of the symbols used in the master class:

o - air loop;

Single crochet;

2 - double crochet;

g - lush column.

The knitted detail of these slippers consists of several parts connected in the knitting process:

1. Semicircle- the main part of the knitted fabric. It is not difficult to complete it, you just need to follow the expansion rules - in six places of each row. The last two rows of double crochets are knitted without expansion to give volume to the slippers. The execution of a semicircular fragment provides for return, rather than circular rows.

1. 1o, 6+;
2. 3 o, * g, 3 o, *, repeat. 5 times, 2;
3. 1o, * 3 + into an arch from 3-x o *, repeat. 4 times;
4. 3 o, skip 1+, in the 2nd + 2 2, 1 o, 2 2 in the same loop, * skip 2 +, and 2 2, 1 o, 2 2 in the same loop *, repeat. 3 times, 2;
5. 1 o, * 1+, 1 +, 2 + in 1o of the V-th row, 1 +, 1 + *, repeat. 4 times;
6. 3o, 282;
7. 3o, 28 2.

1. Plank. After knitting the last rows of the semicircle, you can proceed to the second stage: knitting the strap. Its first row is based on the even edge of a semicircular fragment. It is necessary to ensure that the loops of the first row are evenly and symmetrically placed, and the bar itself is tied tightly. Basic rules for tying the edge of knitted fabrics:

The height of 1 row + canvas is equal to the width of 1 + strapping;

The height of 1 row 2 of the canvas is equal to the width of 2 + strapping.

1. 1 o, 24 + in accordance with the rules for tying the edge;
2. and all following rows of plank: 24 + in each row.

3. Side pieces. In order for the slippers to fit snugly on the leg and not jump off, you need to tie two parts of the side parts. They should be knitted in the same direction as the bar. They are an extension of it.

A characteristic feature of knitting the side parts is that they should be cut only on one side (from the one that not will be sewn on). Then the slippers will take the correct shape and become comfortable.

Description:

1. 1 o, 6 + in the loops of the last row of the bar;

II - VIII: 6 +;

1. 1 o, 2 + knit together (cloth reduction), 4 +;
2. 1o, 5+;
3. 1 o, 2 + together, 3 +;
4. 1o, 4+;
5. 1 o, 2 + together, 2 +;
6. 1o, 3+;
7. 1 o, 2 + together, 1 +;
8. Knit all stitches together.

When the knitted part (semicircle, placket and side parts) is completely ready, it should be tied with one row +, this will fix its shape, and then with one row of “crawler step”, it will give a neat and complete look. A very important point when tying the fabric is the correct execution of the corners: external and internal. 3 single crochet, with a common base, form an external angle of 90 degrees, and 3 single crochet, knitted together - an internal angle of 90 degrees.

"Rach step" knitted like single crochets, but in the opposite direction. It is difficult to imagine, however, it is very easy to implement in practice, you just have to try.

Many people prefer to wear home slippers - flip flops, without heels, they are convenient to put on and take off with one movement of the foot. To crochet slippers- flip flops will require a sole or an insole that holds its shape well, you can use dense felt insoles with a sewn-on lining at the bottom.

To knit slippers, take 50 grams of acrylic yarn in two contrasting colors, a dark tone for knitting the insole, and a light color for knitting the upper part of the slippers.

First you need to link upper part of the insole and connect it to the felt sole. To knit the insole, cast on a chain of air loops with a length equal to the length of the insole minus its width.

Tie the initial chain in a circle, making art. b / n along the narrow part of the foot, and to expand the foot, knit 3 half-columns, on the wide part, knit st. s / n. Closer to the fingers, on the last 6 loops of the chain, knit 3 half-columns, 2 tbsp. b / n, from the final loop of the initial chain for rounding, knit 5 tbsp. b/n. On the underside of the initial chain, knit stitches in reverse order.

Knit the second row of the footprint in the same way as the first, increasing the height of the columns in the wide part of the foot. To round the footprint at the fingers and heels, add evenly 3 tbsp. b / n, knitting at three points from one loop of 2 tbsp. b/n.

The bonded insole should be the same size as the felt sole.

Felt sole tie around the edge next to st. b/n. To do this, pierce the sole with a thick gypsy needle or awl at a distance of 5 mm from the edge. Insert a hook into the holes formed, grab the working thread and pull the loop to the edge of the sole, knit st. b/n. In places of rounding, make two or three columns from one hole.

Do not break the thread and knit a row of st. b / n to connect the felt sole and the associated insole, for this knit st. b / n along the edge, introducing the hook simultaneously into the half-loops of the insole and the strapping of the sole. When finished, secure, cut the thread.

For knit top slipper if you have a thin acrylic thread, make it in two additions. Attach the thread to the corner of the sole at the thumb, knit a short row of st. b/n. To knit the next row, instead of the instep air loop, make a connecting column along the row of the sole.

Turn work and * knit the next row of st. b / n back, starting from the second loop from the hook. At the end of the row, make st. b / n from the side of the sole and a connecting column instead of an air lifting loop for the next row. *

Turn the work and repeat from * to *, in each row one column is added to expand and lift the foot.

To decorate slippers, tie a chamomile flower with lush thin petals of yarn in a contrasting color.

For the center of the flower, tie a bump. Dial a chain of 5 air sts, close it in a ring, knit st. b / n in a spiral, always inserting the hook into the center of the ring, until a voluminous bump is formed.

One of the most common shortcomings of knitted indoor slippers is the rapid wear of the sole. Regardless of what kind of coating the floors in the house are provided with, after a month or two, wiped areas appear. As a result, the sole has to be changed or get rid of slippers altogether. Slippers with felt soles are a great way out. They are easy to crochet, you just need to find the right materials.

What to use for the sole

Simple felt insoles serve well as a solid base for indoor shoes. They can be bought almost anywhere, especially in winter.

Another option is to buy felt and cut out the sole of the desired size from it. This method is convenient if you need to make several pairs at once, since the purchase costs exceed the cost of the insoles.

Attaching slippers to the sole

Some craftswomen prefer to reduce the amount of work for themselves and impose slippers directly on the sole. To do this, holes should be made in the felt. This is best done with a leatherworking device. Sometimes an awl helps, but such holes are not large enough.

It is required to choose the appropriate diameter of the holes and make them at a distance of one or one and a half centimeters from each other. This distance depends on the thickness of the yarn used: the thinner it is, the closer the holes should be.

If there is no special device, you can get out of the situation by running along the edge of the sole (in this case, the first row will consist of single crochet stitches knitted into arches formed by a looped seam).

At the next stage, you should proceed directly to the manufacture of the main fabric of the product. Crochet felt-soled slippers begin to knit from "bushes" of 3-5 double crochets. The base of each "bush" is a hole made. A different number of columns may be required, the thicker the thread, the less there will be.

When the first row is completed, you can move on to the next step.

Sides of slippers

Further knitting should be continued evenly, without additions or cuts. The optimal height of the canvas is four centimeters. The color of the yarn doesn't matter, but the pattern does. For the sides of slippers, only tight knitting is suitable. Otherwise, the fingers resting on the toe will deform the connected Schemes as such are not here, the work passes in circular rows with simple columns without a crochet or with a crochet.

Crochet felt-soled slippers: toe shaping

The photo above shows how to start knitting the upper part of the toe of the slippers. In the first row, 4 columns are performed in the center of the toe, then the number of columns is increased by one on each side in each row. The work goes in straight and reverse rows, with the simultaneous attachment of this canvas to the sides of the slippers.

Thus, each row increases the number of columns by two. When the length of the sock becomes 10 cm, work should be stopped. The depth of the product can be made more or less than the specified size. The height of the sock is determined by fitting.

Semi-round toe for slippers

An interesting way to decorate crocheted felt-soled slippers is to make a semicircular sock. This part is knitted separately, and then sewn into place.

In fact, any ornament can become the basis for such a sock. The main condition can be called the absence of large holes, as this will reduce the level of comfort of the product. A floral motif or just an openwork semicircle to decorate the fragments can be obtained from the schemes of round motifs.

Completion of work: the formation of a pagolenka

The upper part of the slippers is also knitted in circular rows. The first row always consists of single crochets, then you can apply some kind of pattern.

The columns of the first row of the pagolenka run along the last row of the side of the slippers, as well as along the open side of the toe. Having closed the circular row, you should knit exactly without additions.

The height of the pagolenka is determined only by the personal choice of the craftswoman or the person who will wear crocheted slippers. The schemes and description of the pattern for the pagolenka can be used absolutely any.

However, it is worth considering that short slippers are easier and faster to put on, they are more comfortable than high ones, and their backs do not get trampled on. On the other hand, a long leg is much warmer.

As an alternative to the described method, you can knit slippers in any convenient way, then fix the felt on the made sole and sew it tightly. This way you get slippers with a knitted insole and felt soles.

Crochet slippers for almost the same as for adults, only reduce the proportions and choose more colorful colors.
