Mothers do not forget about booties for the baby. After all, almost no child can do without these soft and comfortable shoes. Booties are very light and do not weigh down the baby's foot. The range of booties for girls is represented by a wide choice. In addition, what colors and colors they do not come in. Basically, booties for girls are knitted using bright colors. Booties for boys are mainly green, blue, gray, brown and black colors. This article will consider in detail the knitting pattern for booties for a boy using green artificial yarn. This color of yarn will be the main one in knitting booties. It is no coincidence that artificial wool was chosen, since many children have allergic reactions to natural wool, mainly itching and redness. Fortunately, at present, the market and stores provide needlewomen with a wide selection of artificial yarn for every taste and color.

Stages of work
This version of knitting booties starts withsoles. There are some small nuances in knitting the sole, which I will tell you about in detail. To knit the sole, you will need brown artificial wool, since the sole is easily soiled by nature and therefore preference is given to not very pronounced colors. So, we will knit the sole on two sock knitting needles. You can also knit the sole on circular knitting needles, only then transfer the loops to sock knitting needles. We cast on 35 loops on one knitting needle.1st and 2nd rows knit with front loops withoutadding new loops. In the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th rows - remove the edge loop, make a yarn over. Knit to the middle of the row and make two yarn overs, at the end of the row before the last loop make one yarn over. These rows are knitted with gray thread. The 4th, 6th, 8th rows are knitted with front loops and without yarn overs. These rows are knitted with green thread. After such knitting, 48 loops should form on the knitting needle. Thus, the sole is ready and you can move on to the main part of the booties.All 48 loops must be divided equally andcast on 3 hosiery needles, i.e. there will be 16 loops on each needle. I suggest numbering the rows for the main part of the booties anew, so as not to get confused. So, knit the 1st row with brown thread in a circle, knitting with face loops. Cut the brown thread with scissors, we will not need it anymore. The 2nd row is knitted with green yarn, you need to: knit 1 purl loop, make a yarn over, remove the next loop, again 1 purl loop and so on until the end of this row.Knit the 3rd row as follows: 1 purl loop, then knit the removed loop together with the yarn over (knitted as a front loop), and again 1 purl loop and so on until the end of the row.The 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th rows are knitted similarly to the 2nd row. The 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th rows are knitted similarly to the 3rd row.To make a sock for a bootie,some loops need to be reduced twice. To do this, in the 12th row, you need to knit the first 13 loops with face loops, and knit the next 22 loops with two loops together, then knit the last 13 loops with face loops. As a result, there will be 37 loops on the needles.Knit the 13th, 14th, 15th rowsloops in a circle without adding or decreasing loops. In the 16th row, knit the first 12 loops with the front stitch, and knit the next 13 loops two loops together, knit the last 12 loops with the front stitch. Knit the 17th-18th rows with the front loops in a circle without adding or decreasing loops. In the 19th row, introduce the gray thread into the work and knit in a circle with purl loops. Knit the 20th row similarly.Rows 21-24 knit with green thread and face stitchesloops. Knit rows 25-26 similarly to rows 19 and 20. Knit rows 27-29 similarly to rows 21-24. Knit rows 30-31 with gray thread, purl loops. Cut off excess threads.Turn the product inside out, fold it evenly in half. Remove the remaining threads with a hook.We start sewing from the sole and sew with a single thread to the top of the bootie. Any color of thread will do for sewing the bootie.Turn the bootie inside out.Now you need to knit the second bootie using a similar pattern. Artificial yarn is a little stiff, due to which the booties are dense and hold their shape perfectly. Booties for a boy are ready! The length of the sole of such booties for a boy is 7 cm. If you need a larger size, then you need to increase the number of initially cast on loops. If you need to knit the boot shaft higher, then you should increase the number of rows of green and gray yarn. The color of the yarn can be selected at your discretion. Instead of green yarn, you can take blue yarn, the booties will also turn out neat and very beautiful, just what you need for a small baby. These booties made of artificial wool can be attributed to the winter version. The summer version of booties for a boy can be knitted from acrylic. This type of yarn is considered breathable and is perfect for the spring-summer period. You say: why does a child need booties in the summer? You might not need them during the day, but they are just right for a cool summer evening.
