Crocheting footsies:lessons for beginners Not everyone knows what footslips are. In the traditional sense, they are a kind of mixture of socks and slippers. Footslips cover only the toes, heel and foot. Due to their convenience, they are quite popular and many people replace their usual house slippers with them. This type of footwear is very suitable for everyday wear, since it does not restrict movement at all and does not create any discomfort. It is quite difficult to find high-quality footslips made of natural material in markets and retail chains that would fit perfectly in size. For those who are familiar with basic crochet skills, hand-knitted footslips will be a great solution.Due to their softness, knitted sockswill appeal to those who want to warm their bare feet with warm shoes in the morning, especially in the cold season. With the help of this type of home shoes, you can also treat colds. To do this, you can sprinkle a little mustard powder into the socks and put them on before going to bed. In the morning, all the signs of a receding illness will appear: a runny nose and cough will be significantly reduced. The choice of threads for the socks is up to you, but products based on yarn containing natural wool or goat down will have more useful healing properties. Socks are suitable not only for home wear, but also for additional warming of the foot in the boot. Before you start knitting, you need to decide for what purposes you need them. If for home, then it is better to select the color and texture to match the home items of everyday wear. To learn how to knit comfortable socks, you do not have to be an experienced knitter. It is enough to understand and delve into one of the crochet patterns for an element of home shoes. We present an example of footsies that have almost no seams that create discomfort when walking in tight-fitting boots.Knit socks that fit perfectly in size,It is quite simple if the product is intended for yourself and there is an opportunity to try them on periodically. If you are knitting them, for example, for a friend, then you should make a pattern of the foot. Remember that socks that do not fit tightly to the foot will begin to slip down while walking. Step No. 1. Knit the toe of our product. The toe is knitted in a circle. Then it is folded in half to knit the other part of the socks. There are many ways to crochet a circle. Below is a simplified version with the same result at the exit. So:

We begin with a sliding loop into which a number of columns without a cape (sb) are tied;
we pull together the threads of the ring in order to avoid unnecessary holes;

in all the loops we sew 2 sbn;
In subsequent series, randomly addedsbn, but at the same time, make sure that the added columns do not occur over the same action in the previous row. Otherwise, you will not have a circle, but a polyhedron. Also, make sure that the circle does not turn inside;
knit circle until the length of the semicircle is equal to the width of the foot.

Step #2. Knit the foot. The whole process is done with sc. To continue knitting, you should determine the position of the thread and the depth of the toe.The sequence of works will be as follows:Fold the previously knitted circle in half; without adding a sc, continue knitting the sock; when you reach the required depth of the toe, do not knit any more columns, but simply go in rows in two directions; after you knit part of the foot to the thread, start adding one sc at the very beginning of all subsequent rows. For this purpose, make a lifting loop and knit 2 sc in the first loop of the row. This way we increase the height of the sock so that they do not slip off the foot while walking. Knit in a similar way almost to the end of the foot. The heel should not be with an acute angle, so it is necessary to make a slight rounding. Without knitting 2-3 rows at the end, mark the middle of our fabric and make 6 to 8 columns in the center every other one, without knitting. Step No. 3. Finishing. Turning the sock inside out, connect the back halves. To do this, insert the crochet hook into the back of the loop of the near half and into the front of the far half. Since the loop is already on the hook, simply tie them all together and continue doing this until the end of the row.Then we turn the footprint over to the face and performbinding the top of our product with the help of sc. If an error is found during knitting and the sock turns out to be too small or not tight enough to the foot, it is worth making the binding with an additional row, without knitting a certain part of the columns. Now put on the sock knitted with your own hands, and wear it with pleasure!
