Each mother tries to dress her baby beautifully and brightly. Modern designers offer a huge number of things designed for children of absolutely any age. However, only those clothes or shoes that were made with one's own hand can be called unique. It is difficult, for example, to find booties-sneakers for sale in a regular store. Such products can be purchased only by contacting the needlewomen with experience, or by making them yourself.
We will talk about the last method now. Every mother who knows the basics of crocheting or knitting wants to make interesting things for her child. Of these, of course, you can safely include booties, sneakers. These products are knitted from yarn of various colors. White must be present. Indeed, in real sneakers, the sole is usually white! And the manufactured products must be exactly repeated. The choice of the rest of the gamut depends on the gender of the child for whom they fit, and the personal preferences of the performer. For girls, as a rule, pink or any other bright color is chosen. Products designed for boys, most often come in blue or blue tones.
It is worth noting that booties-sneakers can be knitted from the remains of yarn, which quite often accumulate in large quantities at needlewomen. The main thing is that there is a certain amount of white and a little black. Then the finished product will be as similar to the original as possible.
If we talk about the manufacturing method, then most often crocheted booties-sneakers. Such products are more dense. They hold their shape better even after a large number of washings. The main thing is to choose the right yarn.
The fact that the threads used to make children's things should not fade and dye, I think, it’s not worth talking about. Therefore, it is better to prefer a special yarn that has the corresponding designation or name.
Such material contains the maximum possible number of natural components. It is very mild and is not able to cause an allergic reaction in a child. It is also worth paying attention to the thickness of the chosen yarn. For the manufacture of booties, you need to purchase threads, the length of which in every 100 grams is approximately the same. Otherwise, there is a high probability of the formation of an uneven web. The choice of specific thickness and composition will depend on the season. For summer, it is better to choose cotton yarn, the length of which is 100 g is about 400 meters. For winter, it is better to choose a thicker woolen thread.
If desired, of course, you can knit booties-sneakers with knitting needles. In this case, you need to choose a thinner knitting needle. This will allow you to make a product that retains excellent shape. However, one cannot overdo it.
If the knitting needles are too thin, the booties-sneakers will turn out to be very stiff, in the future they may even rub the baby's leg. If in doubt, it is worth tying the samples 10 cm by 10 cm with knitting needles of various thicknesses. This will allow you to choose the best option. The main thing is to maintain the selected knitting density during the work so that the finished product turns out to be smooth and beautiful.
