This product consists of posts andhalf-columns, there are no complex openwork weaves in the booties, the beautiful decoration and image in the form of bunnies is obtained thanks to imagination and a combination of two colors: blue and white.
Stages of work
Knitting booties is done in the following wayalgorithm: first, a row is collected, which will be the middle of the sole, knitting in circles is added to it and the base of the slipper is created. The next stage is knitting the sidewall, then the front part of the product is created, then the top around the ankle. At the last stage, additional details for the hare are knitted: a nose, ears, which are attached in the form of a muzzle. The upper part of the booties is also decorated with a ribbon of a delicate blue color. To knit booties, you will need yarn that is not very thick, but also much more voluminous than cotton thread. You also need a hook, eyes, which are sold in stores with buttons and with details for creativity. Stock up on yarn in two colors, but the main emphasis is on the white tone, and the blue thread is used for decoration and additional elements are knitted with it, so much less of it will be needed. We begin knitting the sole. A row of 10 air loops is taken as a basis, but this number is approximate for a baby of 2-4 months. Depending on the age of the child and, accordingly, the length of the foot, the size may change to a larger side. The width of the thread plays an important role, if the yarn is thin, then the number of loops will be much larger. Next, tie these loops in a circle with a half-column, that is, hook under the braid, grab the working thread and pull it out a little to get a loop, then throw the yarn on the hook again and immediately knit with a tight tight knit. The first row will be the central one, so the remaining rows are simply added one after another in a circle, thus creating the basis of the work - the sole of the booties. For the baby's foot, most often 4-5 circular rows are required, which will provide sufficient width of the "shoes" and the booties will not squeeze the leg. You also do not need to knit a lot of rows, since in this case the booties will just dangle.After creating the sole, we get to workknitting the side part, which will also be in a circle for four rows. To do this, we change the slope of the knitting, that is, so that the row lies from the "braid" of the last loops not in width, but upwards. The first row is made of half-columns, that is, the thread is picked up with a hook and immediately knitted, like tying parts, while trying to knit tightly enough, but without tightening. Next, we begin to create the lower part of the booties from the columns: you insert the hook into the braid of the bottom row, grab the thread with the tool, pull out the loop, create a grip again and then knit the original loop and the pulled one, that is, knit two together. Then again make a grip from under the next braid, and the movements are repeated.
When knitting side rows, you needa small expansion, so when creating a sock, you need to knit two new loops in one braid, thereby increasing the row. When knitting part of the heel, the work also increases slightly and on the central loop (it is easy to find when the work is folded in half along the length line) you also create two new loops. If you use thinner yarn, then make an increase of three knits.
Next we knit the front part, whichknitted from only half of the loops. Fold the work along the center, mark the two middle loops and continue knitting only between them, and the side where the heel is, is not knitted. The central row combines several loops to get a bevel and the right and left loops converge in one ring. In total, three rows will be knitted, so decrease the loops quite sharply, the columns are knitted almost always through one. Thus, the upper part of the foot is formed. The place where all the loops converge in the ring should be well tightened, otherwise a hole will form. We proceed to knitting the upper part of the booties - it is knitted in a circle with columns, that is, we continue knitting the thread from the center and in a circle, capturing the heel area. Keep in mind that this is not a boot with a zipper that opens when putting on the foot, so the top of the booties is quite free, otherwise it will be problematic to put the baby's foot into narrow shoes. In the second row, you need to pick up loops through one braid, but do not reduce them, and each time knit an air loop after the column. This knitting pattern will allow you to create holes where it is convenient to push a thin blue ribbon and tie it on the baby's leg.
In addition, the ribbon can be alternated with threading beads, but this is more suitable for girls' booties.
Knit two more rows of stitches.The last row will be made of blue thread, which will tie the product with a half-column. Try to tighten this row slightly, which will allow the upper part of the booties to give the correct vertical shape.
At the last stage we start knittingbunny details. Cast on five air loops, knit half-columns in a circle from blue yarn, and create the second row of half-columns from white yarn. Such an oval will be the bunny's ear, you will need a pair for each bootie, that is, 4 pieces in total. The nose is knitted in a small circle, for it create three air loops, combine them into a ring, then knit three rows from blue yarn in a spiral. The antennae are created from small pieces of white yarn, which are sewn together with the nose to the bottom of the booties. Distribute the ears on the upper part, be sure to symmetrically in relation to the center.
All that remains is to glue on the eyes, thread the ribbon through, sew on the ears and the booties are ready.
These cute booties will not only keep your baby's feet warm, but will also look interesting and unusual.
