How to knit slippers?
Even if this is the first time you picked up the knitting needles, you can make home shoes using a very easy method. See how to knit slippers for beginners.
Take:
- yarn;
- knitting needles;
- centimeter tape;
- scissors.
Follow this plan:
- Measure the volume of the foot with a tape measure at the widest point, where the toes grow.
- Cast on 17 stitches on the needles, where two will be hem. At the beginning of each row, you will remove the first stitch on a working needle without knitting.
- For such home steps, we use a scarf pattern that beginners will certainly like. After all, it consists of some front loops, which we create on both sides of the canvas. Knit 10 cm of the sample with a scarf pattern.
- Measure the width of the canvas with a centimeter. Let's say it's 7.5 cm. So there are 2 loops in 1 cm on this sample. We remember what the volume of the foot is, we multiply this figure by the received number of loops in 1 cm.
- Now you know how many loops you need to knit in order to knit the slippers step by step. The next stage is dividing the resulting amount by 3. If this cannot be done without a remainder, then the same number of loops should be at the edges, and the remaining ones in the center.
- You will create the entire fabric using garter stitch, and in order to separate the two side parts of the sole from each other, on the front side in this place you will knit with the front ones. Where they will go, you already know.
- In this way, get to the place where the toes begin. From here, knit with an elastic band, alternating knit 1 and purl 1. When you reach the toe, close the loops in this way: thread a needle through them, with the same thread that you are knitting. Tighten it, tie two knots on the wrong side.
- Using the same thread, extend the seam to make the toe of the slippers and sew them on the back as well. You can decorate the resulting products with crocheted flowers.
Here are some other knitted footprints of slippers.
For them you will need:
- 2 skeins of half-woolen or woolen yarn;
- knitting needles number 3;
- pin;
- scissors.
Let's start creating them from the toe.
Cast on 13 stitches, knit 8 rows in garter stitch. From row 9, add loops like this: remove the first edge, knit the next 5 loops with a scarf pattern. Next, we make one yarn, the next knit with the front one, again there is a yarn, 5 loops of garter stitch, this 9th row ends with an edge loop, which knits with a purl.
Knit the next row and all purls according to the pattern, and the yarn over with a purl loop. We make the addition only in the front rows, using the crochet of the loop - after knitting the loops with garter stitch and before it.
When there are 39 loops on the spoke, we begin to shape the toe in the same way as the heel is usually done. In this case, 9 loops will be in the middle, and 15 pieces on the sides. Leave the central ones intact, knitting the ninth and tenth loops together. If something remains unclear at this stage, read more on how to knit the heel of a sock.
When you complete the toe, you only have 9 stitches left. Where they were closed, we collect 18 loops from each edge so that you have 45 of them in total.
We knit the fabric like this: remove the first loop, knit the next 5 with a scarf pattern. Next comes the purl and four facial loops, we will cross them in every fourth row to get a pigtail pattern. We continue to knit this row. Next comes one purl, 21 facial loops, purl, 4 loops are made facial for a pigtail, purl, 5 loops of a scarf pattern. The row always ends with a purl loop, which is an edge loop.
We do the pigtail like this: in every fourth row we cross 4 loops, removing the first two on a pin, we need to knit the next two with the front ones, we return this pair to the working knitting needle, we also knit with the front ones.
When you make 36-40 rows using this technology, you need to knit the heel. These indoor slippers are designed for foot sizes 36–37. But periodically you need to measure the product in order to fulfill it exactly in your foot.
You already know how to knit the heel of a sock. Complete it, close the knitting needles, fasten the thread. You can decorate knitted slippers with pompoms. With the description, photographs, the process of work was probably more clear to you. You will also find supporting materials in the next workshop.
DIY marshmallow booties
Yarn shoes are created not only for adults, but also for children. See how to knit cute booties in which the child can be at home or outdoors in a stroller.
To find out the exact number of loops to be cast, knit a sample, calculate them.
For such booties, the following were used:
- red yarn;
- knitting needles number 3;
- gypsy needle;
- scissors.
We collect 22 loops, we knit 60 rows with a scarf pattern.
We close the first 8, knit the rest further with white thread, using the front surface pattern. That is, we knit on the face with the front ones, on the back with the purl.
The presented marshmallow booties are for a very small child. If you need a larger size, then dial and knit not 60, but 70-80 loops with garter stitch and close not 8, but 10-12.
Thus, we create 4 rows, the fifth will be performed with a red thread with front loops.
Knit the sixth row using red thread. We do this so that the canvas, consisting of two colors, turns out to be beautiful. If you are using threads of the same color, then knit on the face with the facial ones. Here we will knit facial threads with white threads on the face, and purl threads with red ones. We change the thread every three rows, passing it from the side.
In total, you should have 8 white stripes out of 7 red ones. After creating such a canvas, close the loops.
Fold it as shown in the picture. To make the booties of the marshmallow further, sew the sole.
To decorate the toe part beautifully, thread a red thread into the gypsy needle, sew it with basting stitches along the top of the resulting scarlet-white accordion, tighten the thread.
Without removing it from the needle, sew the seam further, from the foot to the leg.
Spread the collar on top, after which marshmallow booties can be worn on the child or decorated, and then tried on.
How to knit machine booties?
Tie them for a boy to make the young gentleman fashionable from infancy.
For such you will need:
- threads of 4 colors;
- scissors;
- knitting needles;
- two buttons that look like headlights;
- hook;
- number cut from a clothing tag.
Let's start knitting the sole. Cast on 40 stitches. We knit with a scarf pattern - both the wrong side and the face are created with facial loops. Perform two rows in this technique. In 3, 5, 7 and 9 rows there are additions - we put one loop at the edges, 2 in the middle.
To make it clear to you, look at the knitting pattern:
3 row: we remove the first, add one with the front one, knit 18 with the front ones, add one with the front one, knit 2 with the front ones, add one with the front one, knit 18 with the front ones, add one with the front loop, remove the last one.
Knit rows 4, 6, 8.
5 row: remove the first, knit the second loop with the front one, add the next one with the front one, knit 18 with the front ones, add the next one with the front one, then perform four front loops, add one with the front loop, 18 front loops, add one, one front, the last loop is knitted with the wrong one.
Row 7: remove the first, knit the next two, add one, knit 18 with the knit ones, add one, knit 6, add 1, knit 18, add 1, knit two, the last loop - purl.
9 row: the first loop is removed, the next we knit with the front ones, we add one, we do 18 with the front ones, we add one, then there are 8 front ones, one we add, 18 front ones, we add one, 3 front ones, the last loop is purl.
10, 11, 12 rows are performed with knit stitches in garter stitch. Now, after adding 16 stitches, you should have 56 stitches on your needles.
You performed this part of the part with the main thread, now take another one so that it differs in color from this one. With this finishing thread, knit 6 rows on both sides. Change the thread to the main thread. Knit 8 rows with the same scarf pattern.
Now you need to divide the canvas into 3 parts, of which the 2 outer ones will have the same number of loops - 23 pieces each, the central one includes 10 loops. Knit this piece like the heel of a sock.
To make the heel tracks smooth and beautiful, you need to knit 2 loops together in the purl row with the purl, in the front row - with the front.
While you are knitting only the heel, its sides and center tab are made up of 10 stitches. When you're done with it, knit one half of the row of 13 stitches to the end.
The beginning of knitting turned out to be on the wrong side, so we take the finishing thread, knit with the wrong side. To make the canvas neat, start the row with a new color by knitting the first loop, in this case we do not remove the edge loop.
Knit 12 loops with this finishing color, take a white thread, from which you will create the glass of the machine. Perform 10 loops with it. Tie 10 rows with this white yarn. In the next 4, you need to knit the first and second stitches together in each row.
Take the finishing thread again, in this case it is yellow. The first 13 loops have already been knitted, now you need to arrange the machine window. To do this, cast 7 loops from the side with yellow finishing thread, then knit 6 loops in the center of the window, dial 7 more loops from the other side of the window. Sew the remaining 13 stitches on the right with this finishing thread.
We knit further with the front stitch 10 rows. Close the loops, do not cut the remaining end of the yarn, you need it to be 50 cm.
But what kind of booties are cars without wheels? We crochet them. Use this tool to tie a chain of five loops. Fold it into a ring, tie one lifting loop.
Braid the workpiece, performing two single crochets in each stitch. You will have 10 stitches that you need to complete with 1 air lift loop. Follow the next row like this: change the thread to black, also make two columns in each loop. Fasten the thread, cut. In total, tie the four wheels that need to be sewn onto the booties of the machine. Cut out the numbers from the fabric label, sew them and the headlights from the buttons onto the machine.
If you don't know how to crochet, you can sew on buttons instead of wheels.
You need to collect your shoes. To do this, turn the bootie inside out, sew only the part at the top that was tied with a finishing thread. Now fix this fold, turn it up, sew it on the face as well.
Now we also sew the booties on the face to the end, after which the original shoes for the baby can be sent to the young fashionista.
To consolidate this topic, we suggest looking at how to tie marshmallow booties.
