Any mother wants her child to be the most beautiful and elegant, so she begins to knit socks, clothes, bonnets, rugs. Despite the fact that the “shoes” should be soft shoes, knitting booties for newborns is characterized by a huge variety: sandals, boots, slippers, sneakers, boots ...
General rules for knitting "shoes"
- Choose non-allergenic yarn. It is best to touch knitted pieces from such threads. They should be soft and pleasant to the touch.
- Buy quality yarn from trusted manufacturers.
- Pick out patterns that do not contain seams or bring them out. For example, models made with knitting needles are sewn from the inside, this can lead to rubbing the baby's legs even through panties.
- Knitting booties for newborn boys and girls should be simple and convenient. For example, in the first six months, you can decorate shoes with beads, flowers, buttons, provided that the baby’s skin is not tightened and does not feel discomfort from the stitches. For babies, decorative items must be safe, as the baby can tear off small parts and swallow them.
- For decorations, you can use the entire palette of colors, different stitches and knitted decorative elements. For example, crocheting, you can knit flowers, and leaves, and berries, and different patterns.
Booties for newborns: crochet pattern
Typically, such shoes fit with the base. Next is a small side, which creates the image of a closed boat. Then a toe is knitted and raised, like a sock. Lastly, the baby’s shoes are decorated. Consider the simplest scheme:
- Knitting basics. Dial 16 air stitches (vp), including 3 lifting stitches (s / n), and knit 12 double crochet stitches (s / n) into each stitch. In the last 12th stitch, knit 3 s / n for the circle and 1 s / n to continue knitting 12 s / n and round the toe with three s / n. The second row begins with three air loops. The picture is the same, only in the last 12th double crochet, three rounded double crochets and one s / n are knitted in one loop, 2 double crochets (the symbol is similar to V). The 2nd row ends with a double crochet in the same loop where the lifting loops begin. The last third row is knitted according to the same pattern. The 3rd row ends with a connecting loop with a payment order.
- The side fits in two rows of double crochet posts in a circle.
- Mark the middle of the toe with a thread. Then you count 15 loops in each direction. We start knitting booties for newborns from the edge with three p / p. Next, in each loop of the previous row, we knit 4 s / n, 10 s / n, knitted together (a symbol in the form of the letter A), then 4 s / n. Turn the work over and repeat the pattern, only instead of 10, knitted together with / n, knit 5 s / n. In the last row, the pattern is repeated, only 5 s / n are knitted together. Connect the toe to the connecting posts with the side of the booties.
How to make a shoe up
- Knitting goes from the middle of the toe with the lifting and strapping loops in a circle in columns with crochets. The second row begins with lifting loops, then alternating air loops and double crochets. In the third row, the lifting loops and s / n are knitted in one loop (the icon is similar to V), 2 s / n from 2 in. item between them. In the last row at the place of the air loops 2 s / n, 2 c. n., 2 s / n. Further in. The item is connected in the middle of the air loops of the next arch. The drawing begins again at. p. - 2 s / n, 2 c. n., 2 s / n - then c. etc., etc. It turns out booties with a floral pattern.
- At the last stage, the bottom of the sole and sidewall of the toe are tied with a different color pattern that looks like a pico: 3 c. item, 2 connecting loops.
- To decorate the sock, you can knit a two-color flower. Knit the middle of the ring with 6 single crochet (art. B / n). Second row double Art. non-cash In the third row, petals from the 8th century are knitted. n. for the front wall of the loop. They are secured with a connecting post. In the last row, petals of a different color from the 10th century are knitted. n. for the bottom wall of the same row with fastening by a connecting column.
