Is a replenishment about to happen in your family? It's time to start crocheting booties for a girl or boy. This is a beautiful decoration of small legs, which in addition will warm the baby both in summer and in winter. Knitting booties is very simple. This can be done even from the remnants of the thread.
We understand the models
There are a lot of kinds of booties. They are classic - in pink or blue; bright and colorful - in the manner of bees, bunnies or chicks; and simply luxurious - with beads, ribbons, bows. If you want to crochet beautiful booties for a girl, it is important to decide on the model. Usually they knit booties if not a full suit for a newborn, then at least a bandage on his head in tone or a blouse. The knitting pattern of such shoes is always standard, and we will deal with it right now.
Getting started
Any crocheted booties for a girl fit almost the same way. First we make the sole. To do this, dial 7-9 air loops. Their number depends on the thickness of the thread and legs of the child. For a newborn, 6 loops can be enough. Then knitting goes like a flat oval rug with additions in the places of its rounding. So you need to knit 3 rows. The fourth part of the booties will go from the fourth row. Additions are no longer required, just knit with a pattern or simple double crochet. After 3 more rows we will knit a toe. To do this, with double crochets, it is necessary to fill the shoe space in front, evenly distributing the loops in the right amount. It remains only to tie the top of the shoe - these are ordinary round crochet posts. Here, too, any pattern will look beautiful. Similarly, you can associate any model.
Useful Tips
Just wanting to crochet booties for a girl is not enough. You need to choose the right thread. They should not be pricked, contain wool or synthetics. All this can cause irritation of the baby’s delicate skin. Choose natural dye-free cotton in fiber. It is also important to see which fabric is obtained from this thread. It should not be too harsh. Using beads, ribbons and other jewelry, keep in mind that a child will very soon be able to tear them and swallow them, which you may simply not notice. It is better to limit yourself to knitted jewelry, for example, lush flowers or pompons. If booties of neutral tones are better for newborns, then older children, at the age of 3-4 months, it is better to knit bright shoes. This will allow them to better study their own legs, develop their eyesight, and help them to know the world. If you are new to knitting, then for starters, select the simplest crocheted booties for girls. Schemes in a wide variety are in special magazines and on the net. Later, relying on the collected base of diagrams and models, you can create other works.
Dispel myths
If you think that the baby needs booties only in 9-11 months, when he starts stomping his legs, then you are seriously mistaken. Small shoes are indispensable during walks, the legs in them do not sweat, but also do not freeze.
If it seems to you that the appearance of booties for the baby is absolutely unimportant, then this is also an erroneous opinion. Already from two months your baby will begin to pay attention to his bright shoes, he wants to reach out and touch them.
If you think that only newborns need booties, then again you are mistaken. Crocheted booties for girls, knitted a little larger, will be comfortable socks for your baby until the age of two. And later, he himself will learn to wear them and fasten them on a button.
