Today we will learn how to crochet tracks . For beginners, such a scheme would be ideal. I would like to note that even trails connected in the same way can differ in individuality and originality. This can be achieved using a variety of decor techniques and improvements to some details. Let’s figure out how crocheting footprints for beginners differs from models designed for more experienced craftswomen.
The easiest option
In order to crochet comfortable and beautiful tracks, you need one skein of yarn and a hook. Well, of course, you can not do without imagination, inspiration and perseverance. All this will help you quickly and easily create clothes for your legs. Well, crochet the tracks? For beginners, an easier option has not yet been invented.
Beginning of work
As usual, crocheting begins with a chain of air loops. In our case, their number will be six. We connect the chain in a circle and tie it with columns with a crochet or without. If you want your tracks to be stiff and dense, like slippers, then knit with single crochet, if, on the contrary, prefer a softer and loose option, then double crochet.
So, we got a little ring. Next, you need to continue knitting in a circle. The main thing is to ensure that your knitting does not bend and does not take the form of a cup. To do this, from time to time you need to knit two columns in one loop. If you are knitting traces for an adult, then you need to knit an even flat circle until its diameter reaches five centimeters. After that, we continue knitting without adding, and your track will gradually begin to take the desired shape. At first, you may find it difficult to crochet such tracks. For beginners, the main thing is to understand the principle and scheme, and everything else will work out. So, we continue knitting.
In the process, it is necessary to do the fitting. This circular knitting continues until we reach the place where it is necessary to make a cut for the leg. For an adult size, you usually need to knit from 10 to 13 cm.
The final stage
Now the knitting technique will change a little. We will not knit in a circle, but the front and back rows. We knit three air loops for lifting (this is if you have chosen double crochet) and we begin to perform double crochet in the opposite circular direction. You don’t need to close the circle, only 2-3 loops remain untied (this is quite enough). We expand the track and knit in the opposite direction, and so on until the required length of the track is obtained. This is pretty easy to figure out with the help of fitting.
Now it remains only to connect the trailing edges of the track. This can be done with the same hook or using a thread with a needle. The track is almost ready, it remains only to modify and decorate it a bit. The second track is knitted similarly to the first. Crocheted footprints (for beginners the simplest option was described) do not differ on the right and left, therefore, it is easier to perform them than other methods.
Decoration and decor
Along the upper edge of the trace should be tied with columns without a crochet. In principle, this is enough. But if you want to get a more elegant option, then after two rows of single crochet columns, you can knit a row using the “pico” or “shell” technique. If for these purposes to use yarn of a different color, then this option looks even better.
Another way of decoration involves decorating the tracks with knitted flowers, as in the photo. You must admit that such crocheted crochets for beginner needlewomen can even serve as a gift.
Another decor idea. Pass a satin ribbon into the upper part of the finished slipper and tie a beautiful bow. Appearance will immediately be transformed. Instead of a satin ribbon, you can use a knitted lace, at the ends of which pompons are fixed. This option of decoration is very popular with children. And you can decorate the surface of the track with beads or sequins. There are a lot of options, let your imagination tell you something unusual and new.
Advanced crochet classic track pattern
The photo shows an example of a slipper connected according to the same scheme as described above. But there are some additions and changes. These are more original and stylish crocheted crocheted footprints. For beginners, their knitting patterns, or rather, the additions made, will be described below.
Knitting begins in the same way as in the first case, but after 4-5 cm of normal knitting, an openwork pattern is performed. You can knit it completely over the entire surface of the track, or you can (for a longer service life) carry out the lower part with columns with a crochet or without. They are denser, which means that you will wear such slippers for a longer period.
Further, having finished knitting the track according to the previous scheme, we proceed to knitting the original fastener. It is done like this. We knit a chain of 15 air loops, attach it to the top of the track, we knit the crochets and again 15 air loops. Next, we continue knitting the front and back rows until we reach the desired width of the fastener. In order for her to tightly clasp a leg, you can sew on her an adhesive tape or a button.
It would seem that the same scheme, but small changes and additions make their significant contribution. And in the end, we get tracks that are completely different from the previous ones.
