A child in a family is always a joy, so every mother strives to do everything possible for her child. At 3 - 4 months, it seems to the mother that the baby has already grown enough, so I want to dress him somehow completely in an adult way. Original hats and suits are perfect for a similar occasion, especially if this period falls in the summer. But is it worth pushing a tiny baby foot into a bulky boot or boot? Of course not! Indeed, today there is a huge selection of knitted booties, socks and slippers, as well as tiny shoes that will best help express the developing personality of your baby.
Tiny booties, slippers or boots can be knitted on their own, if you make a little effort to make your extraordinary baby a bright and strong personality. Booties can be used both at important moments in a baby’s life (going to a clinic, photo shoot or baptism), and in everyday life itself, when it is necessary that huge sliders do not fall from tiny legs. To tie shoes for the baby, you need to take 50 grams of good Angora wool, a hook or knitting needles of the required size. You can take flax or wool mixture, but you need to make sure that there are no more than 10% of synthetic additives in the yarn. In order not to make a mistake with the size, it is enough to measure the baby’s leg with an ordinary thread and use it to create the basis of the future foot (it will be about 10-12 air loops).
Around the base, an oval is tied, which subsequently becomes the sole of a small shoe, about 5-8 centimeters wide. The foot is knitted with half crochets. Starting to knit the toe of the booties-shoes, you need to knit 2 more centimeters with single crochet columns - this will turn out the side wall of the booties. The resulting volume must be divided into two parts (front part and heel) and subsequently knit them in turn. First, the forefoot is performed - it can be tied with ordinary double crochet, then the heel in the form of a semi-oval is knitted, from double crochet, from the edges directly to the center. As soon as the heel acquires the desired appearance, you need to connect it to the front. The top of the booties can be decorated with lace, knitting several rows further, alternating air loops and double crochets.
Shoes are decorated with satin ribbons, beads and flowers knitted from contrasting yarn. For everyday wear, such excesses can be omitted, because it is enough that the baby in booties was warm and comfortable. In the cold season, booties and boots will be an excellent gift for a little man, in them tiny legs will be warm and cozy even if there is a severe frost on the street. It is quite possible to connect them with a regular scarf on knitting needles or alternate the wrong side with the front row to create a corrugating effect. To start knitting the soles, 20 loops are typed, in each odd row the loops are added to expand the sole. As soon as she is ready, we continue to knit out the side walls (at the same time, we no longer add loops).
Each child deserves only the best attitude towards himself and each loving parent knows about it. That is why many mothers try to tie exclusive shoes, boots and booties for their baby. And the point here is not even that such things are unique in themselves, but that only the mother’s heart can give the beloved baby the warmth that he so needs in the first months of his existence. Warm boots and booties not only give the child warmth and comfort, but allow you to feel the caress of the mother. A little man feels the warmth of his mother’s heart and behaves more calmly and confidently, because he knows for sure - his mother loves him!
