For many, it will probably be a discovery that from a simple rectangle you can make very interesting, unusual and very attractive slippers. Knitting the whole fabric is handkerchief viscous, although, if desired, can be done with the front surface and any pattern. We take the most ordinary knitting needles of size 3 - 3.5 mm, we select the yarn of the desired thickness. Next, calculate the loops. This is done quite simply. Take a measuring tape and measure the circumference of the foot. Measure should be in a circle, starting from the thumb to the tip of the little finger. It should not be completely measured, since the canvas is stretched and slippers will turn out a little more. The resulting number of centimeters must be multiplied by two, since when knitting exactly this size in the finished product, usually two loops are obtained per centimeter of the fabric.
So how to knit slippers? We collect on the knitting needles the calculated number of loops and knit with any pattern 12-13 cm. Then we make the edge trim. This can be done with knitting needles or crochet. It turns out a fairly long rectangle with a curly edge. Now the main thing remains - to collect slippers. To do this, take the canvas and mark the middle. Fold one half of the rectangle in half towards the center and sew along the bottom. Fold the second half at an angle of 90 degrees so that the side edge is connected to the bottom, and the curly edge lies on the opposite side of the rectangular blank. Flush the bottom, slightly rounded in front. The second slippers should be knitted in the same way, but sewn to the other side, so that the curly edge is on the outer sides of the product. Although it is quite possible to do the other way around, and let the tied edges run along the inside. Here, who more like it.
