Of particular importance for home convenience and comfort are a variety of slippers. They are also important when the floor in the house is cold. Such shoes help to avoid hypothermia and, consequently, colds. Many needlewomen are looking for the answer to the question of how to knit slippers, footprints.
Tools and materials
To work on trails, you need to choose the right yarn and knitting needles. Threads should be selected especially carefully. They must be strong, not bear and have a strong color, resistant to molting. When knitting slippers, it is also important to choose yarn that will not stitch and slip. That is why pure wool is not very suitable for this. It is much better to use synthetics.
The pattern of the spokes with the needles determines how thick the necessary tool should be. For knitting openwork slippers, you can take thick knitting needles, for denser ones it is better to use thin ones. Depending on the type of knitting, circular knitting needles with fishing line or straight ones can be chosen. Tracks are often knitted, like socks, on five knitting needles.
To make the edge of the product you need a hook. To make the seams and to hide the ends of the threads, you need a thick needle. There are options for knitting footprints, where felt, leather or even the bottom of old worn slippers are used as the sole.
Dressing
There are a lot of tips on how to knit traces with knitting needles. There is usually no problem with the description. Huge scope for imagination is presented in the creation of design, as well as the decoration of ready-made slippers.
You can use embroidery and buttons. Many make elongated tracks in the form of house boots. Slippers with a ribbon fastening around the ankles are very popular. People with a sense of humor are delighted with the tracks in the form of human bare feet or animal paws.
Those who want to make a surprise for the child can be advised to look for ideas on how to creatively knit tracks with knitting needles with a description. It is important to rely on the preferences and hobbies of children. You can either create a unique design with the help of additional details, or, with maximum effort, knit amazing things.
Boys are usually delighted with all kinds of techniques. They can be slippers in the form of cars, tanks or aircraft. Girls will like a variety of little animals - bunnies or kittens, as well as ballet pointe shoes or princess shoes. Parents with a sense of humor love to wear unusual booties on kids. It can be knitted sneakers, sandals or even skates.
Ready-made tracks
To make slippers more durable and worn longer, it is best to knit them on a ready-made sole. It can be cut out of felt or leather, or you can take a factory sole from worn slippers.
In any case, work should begin with a hole puncture along the perimeter of the workpiece at a distance of about half a centimeter from each other. After that, the sole should be crocheted with air loops. When this work is done, you can begin to knit the tracks on two knitting needles with a pattern.
To do this, raise 4 loops in the front of the sole. Next, the usual knitting begins with a smooth surface. The only condition will be at the end of each row to introduce into knitting one loop, lifted from the harness, which is crocheted.
After several rows on the middle hinges of the top of the slipper, you can begin to knit any pattern you like. As soon as the rise reaches the required size, knitting is transferred to circular. To do this, all the remaining loops of the soles of the sole are lifted and distributed on 4 knitting needles. This continues in a circle. After reaching the required height, the loops close.
Knitting tracks on two knitting needles
Today you can find a huge number of models of knitted slippers for the home. However, most of them require needlewomen to have sufficient experience. Those who still have a little of it can be advised to tie the tracks with two knitting needles for beginners based on a fairly detailed description.
Such slippers are knitted with threads of several colors. Therefore, for the manufacture of such tracks, you can spend unnecessary remains of thread. The main thing is to divide each glomerulus in half so that the slippers are the same.
Knitting begins with a set of loops in an amount of 42. After this, 8 rows of garter stitch are sewn (that is, all loops in all rows are knitted with facial ones). Next, we divide the knitting into 3 parts: along the edges of 11 loops and in the middle - 20. After that, a contrasting thread is introduced into the knitting, with which only the middle loops are knitted. If there is a desire in the end to get tracks on two knitting needles with a pattern, it must be done here. You can choose the one that is understandable and familiar to the needlewoman.
As soon as the length of the knitted fabric is equal to the distance from the beginning of the rise to the little finger, the contrasting thread is removed, and the main thread is looped on its sides. It is most convenient to do this on knitting needles with fishing line. We perform a toe on the middle loops. For this, partial knitting is used. That is, in each row, it is necessary not to tie 2 loops to the end. As soon as 4 loops remain on the knitting needles, they begin to knit all the loops at once.
After about 20 rows, which can be sewn with threads of different colors in random order, the sole starts. To do this, knit the loops forming the side. On average, the partial knitting technique is again performed, but this time the last loop of each row is knitted together with the next loop of the side part.
So the tracks on two knitting needles with a pattern fit until all the side loops are over. Based on the remaining stitches of the middle part, the heel is made. It remains to bring together all the remaining loops located around the ankle. After that, knitting continues in a circle until the desired length is reached, and the loops close.
Start knitting slippers with a herringbone pattern
The tracks with the herringbone pattern look original. On the knitting needles, dial 17 stitches with the thread of the main color. Further work is carried out in accordance with the description. The even (wrong) rows fit in the pattern.
The first row is knitted as follows: 8 wrong, double crochet, 1 front, double crochet, 8 wrong. Further, the odd rows are performed according to this principle: 8 loops are knitted on the wrong side, again the yarn is crocheted, the central part is knitted in the facial part, then the yarn is crocheted, then again the wrong side. This should be repeated until the number of loops on the knitting needles reaches 33.
Second color introduction
After that, two balls of contrasting color are connected to the work: at the beginning and at the end of knitting. Due to this, multi-colored tracks connected on two knitting needles will not have broaches on the inside. So that when the color does not form holes, the threads in this place intersect.
8 purl loops are knitted in a contrasting color, 8 filaments, yarn, 1 yarn, yarn, 8 yarns are sewn again in a contrasting color and 8 are crocheted. So 16 loops are added (8 on each side). As a result, 49 loops should be on the knitting needles.
Now, in contrasting color, 16 loops are knitted. The middle is performed on the same principle as before, the main thread. As a result, at the end of this step, there will be 65 loops on the knitting needles. Now 24 loops are knitted with a contrasting thread. If you complete this step correctly, there will be 81 loops on the knitting needles.
Knotting the sole
Now it is necessary to divide the knitting into 3 knitting needles: 32 loops of contrasting color, 17 medium main and again 32 contrasting. The next step that must be performed to connect the two-spoke footprints with the herringbone pattern is to knit the sole.
To do this, only the middle 17 loops fit in the main color. At the end of each row, the last loop on the middle needle is knitted together with the first loop on the outer needle. Gradually, the number of loops on the side knitting needles decreases. Knitting is continued until the loops on them are completely finished. Now you need to dial the loops from the extreme segments and knit the length of the sole.
Knotting the heel and the final stage
Next, you need to tie the heel. To do this, loops should be divided into 3 knitting needles and repeat the procedure for combining loops from all knitting needles. The result should be a heel.
Further, all the loops are divided into 4 parts and knit in a circle. After the two-knitted tracks have reached the desired height, the loops should be closed.
To help beginners, the following is a knitting pattern of tracks with a double knitting pattern.
Thus, in the presence of a little dexterity, linking the tracks will not be difficult even for a beginner needlewoman.
