Any mother really wants her baby's clothes to be comfortable and warm. And if you associate something grandiose, for example, a jumpsuit or dress, many cannot afford it, then making your own original and beautiful booties will not be difficult. Well, agreed, knit booties with needles? There are many simple models that differ in style and sophistication, and some of them will be described below. One option is for boys, the other is for girls.
Knit booties with needles
In order to knit the option for little gentlemen, you will need one skein of yarn, in which wool is not more than 50%, so that there is no discomfort when wearing. For the summer variety, you can choose any cotton yarn, but not very thin.
The described model can be modified and be universal by using different shades of yarn, patterns, or additional decoration in the form of flounces, frills or other accessories.
In the standard version, we knit booties with knitting needles for newborns as follows.
These shoes are made in one piece, and work begins with the top edge of the cuff. We collect 37 loops on the knitting needles, after which we knit 48 rows of front stitch . Next, we leave 13 loops on both sides of the canvas untied and continue to work with the remaining 11 loops located in the center. Thus, it is necessary to knit 18 rows, periodically performing decreases from each edge, starting from the 12th row, and then in each even row. As a result, only 3 loops must remain on the spoke, which must be closed. Now you need to go back to the remaining 13 untied loops. To them, you need to dial another 33 loops, and then continue knitting 13 loops laid on the other side. On your knitting needles you should get 59 loops, the knitting of which continues another 14 rows of facial stitch. Then 24 loops are closed from each edge and 11 central loops are knitted. You need to complete 36 rows - this will be the sole. After completing the desired amount, close all the loops. It remains only to sew the booties along the entire length of the cuff and fasten the sole and base. The bootie is ready, the second is knitted similarly to the first. To decorate, you can insert a satin ribbon or along the upper edge of the cuff to knit shuttlecocks, sew on buttons. You can see some of the design options for such booties in the photo.
How to knit booties with knitting needles. Scheme for girls
For little princesses, booties in the form of sandals are suitable. Decorative buttons are used as decoration. As in the first case, you will need only one skein of yarn, knitting needles and two buttons.
Start knitting from the sole. Unlike the first option, our booties will consist of several parts connected separately. For the sole, we knit 7 loops on the knitting needles, knit with the front stitch, adding 1 loop on each side (in 1,2,4,6 rows). Total on the needles will be 15 loops. Decrease start with 40 rows in 42, 44, 45 rows, one loop from each edge. The remaining 7 loops must be closed. The sole detail is ready.
To grasp the foot, you need to dial 60 loops and knit 14 rows of face stitch, then close them all. Next, knit booties with needles as follows.
Making the upper part of the booties begins with a set of 15 loops. We knit 26 rows. In the process, 1 loop is reduced on each side in 20, 22, 24, 25 rows. The remaining 7 loops on the spoke must be closed.
Next, we perform the assembly. To do this, connect the girth of the foot in a circle and with the sole. After that, sew the upper part and decorate it with a button. Instead, you can use a crocheted flower and thread a satin ribbon along the upper edge of the booties.
