Warm, soft and comfortable booties, made by yourself, will definitely warm the baby's legs. This first shoe is used from birth, preventing overcooling crumbs. It is comfortable and beautiful, and most importantly - practical.
In this article, we'll talk about
crocheting booties for beginners. Our master class is simple, and therefore even an inexperienced needlewoman can cope with the production of shoes. The work is quick and easy. Let's get started!
Crocheting booties (for beginners): workshop
For the manufacture of this openwork product, you need to prepare a hook number 2.5 and yarn in two colors - turquoise and white. We used children's threads "Pekhorka". It is desirable that the yarn consist of wool and acrylic. Crocheting booties for newborns will start with the sole. As a rule, almost all shoes for crumbs are made, starting with the sole. So, we will knit the first three rows according to the following pattern.
First, pick up fifteen air loops (aka VP) and skip three loops. In the fourth, we will perform five double crochets (CH). In the next loop we knit one CH. Repeat the operation nine more times. In the last - we will make six
double crochets. Now we turn over our knitting and continue to work according to the scheme, that is, we make ten CH. We complete the row with a
connecting column in the last lifting VP. You should get this kind of blank.
We knit the sole of the booties for the newborn
We start the second row with three VPs, and then in the first lifting loop we knit a double crochet. In the next six loops, we perform two CHs, and then at ten - one at a time. Be extremely careful when knitting all the loops. Count their number. In the next six loops, make two CHs. Turn the knitting over and continue with the pattern. Complete the second row with a connecting loop. Here is what you should get (see photo).
Third row: after knitting three lifting loops, perform one double crochet in the first of them, and then another in the next loop of the base. Continue the work according to the scheme: two CH, then one CH. Repeat this item four more times. Then do ten double crochets and repeat “two CH, one CH” six times again. Knit another ten crochet stitches. Everything, the third row is ready. To complete it, take the white thread and follow the connecting post. This is what you should get.
Crocheting booties with crochets for beginners: we carry out "sides" of products
The fourth row is made of white yarn, without crochet, with the hook should be inserted behind the back wall of the loop. We complete the row as usual - with a connecting loop. Repeat the diagram by completing a circle of single crochet columns. After knitting the fifth row, we end it with a connecting loop with a blue thread. Now we start knitting "bumps". We start the sixth row with two VPs. We knit an element of two unfinished SNs and make one air loop. Having skipped one base VP, we will issue a “bump” consisting of three SNs (unfinished). We knit the entire row of such cones, performing one VP between them. You need to complete the row with a connecting column, introducing a hook to the top of the element. The seventh row is performed by analogy with the sixth, we close it with a connecting loop and cut the thread.
The final stage of work: we knit the "toe" of shoes
Take the white thread and perform the initial loop. Mark the middle of the boot, insert the hook into the loop (behind the back wall of the "bump"). Pull the initial loop. Further crocheting booties step by step looks like this: we knit a "bump" consisting of two VP and the same amount of CH (unfinished). In the next loop, we perform an element of three unfinished SNs. There are a total of fourteen such “cones”. After this, we knit two VPs, turn the product over and continue to do the “bumps”, the first should be made of two unfinished hearths, and the subsequent ones should be made of three. Remember to run one VI between these elements.
In total, seven elements should be made. Next, we make a connecting column, fixing the tops of the cones on both sides. The toe is almost ready. Now we make a "bump" of two unfinished SNs and the same number of VPs, and then one more of the three SNs, introducing a hook into the "leg" of the extreme column of the element. Again, we perform one VP and a "bump", introducing the hook in the same way as before. After we knit a series of "cones" to the top. We complete the seventh row by analogy with the knitting pattern of its beginning. In exactly the same way we carry out two more rows. We close the last with a connecting loop using blue threads. That's all, we almost finished our crocheting of booties. For beginner needlewomen, we hope our workshop did not seem too complicated. Now it remains only to make an openwork strapping. It is performed elementarily: according to the scheme, one CH + three VP. Columns are knitted in each subsequent loop of the previous row. Well, that’s it, we’ve got such beauty! By analogy with the first, we manufacture the second booties. Success in creative work!
