Knitting booties with knitting needles is a very interesting and exciting process. In this article, we will look at some of the simplest master classes. Which will allow even inexperienced mothers or grandmothers to knit an original thing.

A few words about the preparatory phase

Before you move on to reading the various instructions, you should understand the tools and material. Let's start with the fact that the threads for booties must be chosen with great care. Because the finished product will be worn by a child. His skin is very sensitive, as a result, it is better to refuse coarse or prickly woolen yarn immediately. It is also not recommended to choose artificial threads. The skin of the baby can also react differently to them. In addition, there is a risk that the baby will refuse to wear such booties at all. Microfiber, acrylic and nylon are also more reasonable to leave for knitting products for an adult.

Merino wool is considered the best option for knitting booties. For a warmer period, you can make a product from cotton yarn or linen. In addition, it is worth noting that due to the popularity of children's knitwear, manufacturersbegan to produce yarn designed specifically for crumbs. It is hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch, so it is ideal for the little ones.

Now a few words should be said about the knitting needles. You can choose them based on your own preferences. However, it is better for beginners to take those that are one and a half to two times thicker than the thread. After all, many beginner needlewomen very often tighten the loops too much. We would also like to clarify that it is most convenient to knit socks, mittens and booties on stocking needles. Those that differ in double-edged ends. They are mostly made of metal. Which, by the way, is very convenient, because the thread glides over them just fine. Sold in a set of five pieces - four main and fifth additional.

How to determine the size of booties

Knitting booties for children is not easy. After all, before you begin to fulfill the main task, you should take measurements from the baby. Which, frankly, is not easy at all. But it is very important to do this so that the product does not have to be bandaged later.

So, what are the important measurements you need to make before you start casting on:

1. First you need to determine the length of the baby's foot. To do this, take a centimeter in our hands and measure the leg from the heel to the tip of the thumb.
2. After that, we determine the width of the foot. To do this, we measure in the middle of the foot.
3. And finally, we should find out how far from the thumb is the beginning of the lower leg.

Write down the received numbers and now go tochoosing a pattern for booties. In more detail we will talk about the most original and interesting a bit later. When the picture is selected, you need to do the following manipulations:

1. We take prepared tools and yarn, which we will use to knit booties with knitting needles.
2. Now cast on ten stitches and knit ten rows with the chosen pattern.
3. After that, using a centimeter, measure the resulting fragment.
4. We transfer the length and width to the sheet with the previous measurements.
5. Now we need to divide: the length of the foot by the length of the fragment - a; foot width per fragment width - b; the distance from the thumb to the beginning of the lower leg by the length of the fragment - c.
6. After that, each number, if it turned out to be a fraction, should be rounded up or down, focusing on the rules of mathematics.
7. And then multiply by ten.
8. As a result, we get: a - the length of the bottom of the booties (how many rows), b - the width of the bottom of the booties (how many loops), c - the distance from the toe to the instep wedge (how many rows).

Knowing these parameters, you can start studying a master class with a detailed description of the technology of knitting booties with knitting needles.

How to knit simple booties step by step

To do the job we need:

• two skeins of yarn in different colors;
• five stocking needles;
• one hook.

How to

As seen in the photo above,there is absolutely no difficulty in this master class. We will knit with the front surface, practically without knitting the sock. The last circumstance will be the most pleasant for many, because fiddling with this part, especially such a small one, is not at all easy.

So, we need:

1. First, take measurements and calculate the required number of loops.
2. After that, we collect them on two knitting needles and knit the lower part of the booties as many rows as we need based on the calculations.
3. Then we take the hook and with its help we collect the following number of loops on each side: we divide the number of rows by two and as a result we get the desired number.
4. On the opposite side of the canvas, that is, where we started knitting booties for children up to a year and older, we also pick up loops. Their number should be equal to the width of the bottom of the booties.
5. Now we distribute the loops on four knitting needles and take the fifth additional one. We will alternately knit with it.
6. We go up three rows and start rounding the nose of the booties. To do this, we continue to knit in a circle, but at each junction of the front and side parts (on both sides) we remove one loop, simply knitting two together. We act in this way for as many rows as we determined from the calculations. Recall that this parameter is in - the distance from the toe to the wedge of the instep of the foot (how many rows).
7. Now that the right part is over, it's safe to say that the most difficult step of describing the knitting of booties with knitting needles is over. Further, the needlewoman only had to raise the bootleg to the desired height. This parameter can be defined at your own discretion. And then close the loops without tightening them too much.
8. Finally, the booties are ready, and now you just need to decorate them. To do this, take a hook and yarn of a different color. We tie the upper edge of the product, and then we knit a chain of fifty loops. Make tassels at both ends. We thread it and tie it into a beautiful bow.

Knitted bunny booties for babies

According to the technology described above, it is very easy to knit booties for a one-year-old child. Indeed, at this age, babies are so cute that every mother wants to dress up her child in a funny bear, cat or bunny. That is why the following idea will be a great option to complete the image.

Based on it, you can associate booties with almost any animal. The main thing is to connect your imagination to the process.

So, when the previous instruction is fully executed, it is necessary to refine the finished thing a little more. To do this:

1. First of all, we tie the sole with yarn of an additional color.
2. After we put the booties and the hook aside and again pick up the knitting needles. We will also need knitting threads of the main color.
3. We pick up twenty-five loops, knit ten rows and close not in a simple way, but by capturing the opposite part of the fragment. For beauty, you can do this with an additional thread, then the ears will turn out even more original.
4. When the first tube is completed, we proceed to the implementation of three more in a similar wayprinciple.
5. Then sew on a pair of booties. Knitting (from a year or younger baby - it doesn’t matter) products for a child, as you can see, is a fairly simple task. Now we glue the eyes (they can be purchased at any needlework store) and the nose button.
6. Let the product dry for two to three hours, after which we try on an interesting thing and enjoy the new thing with the baby.

2. Then we tie the finished products, add a string with a bow and proceed to the implementation of the baby mouse. We knit three circles of different diameters - the head, the nipple and the "tail" of the nipple.
3. After we prepare four ears and two chains for the nipple.
4. Connect the parts together, embroider eyes, nose and eyebrows.
