The most wonderful time is when children are still small. Mom is next to them on maternity leave. And then she can easily make beautiful things for her little child. It’s so nice to realize that you didn’t just buy something beautiful for him, but made it yourself, with your own loving hands. A piece of you in this thing will remain with the baby.
The very first thing for a little man is booties. This is where the wardrobe begins. The article contains the coolest models of booties in the form of sneakers. This is the best thing that knitting masters have come up with for babies - we try to do it along with a brief description and pattern diagrams.
Yarn
For booties, as for most baby things, the yarn must be special.
Its peculiarity lies in the following list of requirements:
- hypoallergenic;
- soft;
- warm;
- children's;
- beautiful.
Sample
For an even count of columns, it is advisable to knit a sample. This is a small square that will further determine the density of the pattern.
The density, in turn, will tell you how many loops and how many stitches are needed for the sole, sides and toe of the booties.
Booties in the form of sneakers step by step
The brightest and cutest models at the same time. A simplified description for a beginner. These models can be made in a few hours. So we bought some yarn and are making cool sneakers with this description.
Crochet sneakers booties
Very bright and creative work. If you expand the work, it is not difficult. Not only little ones, but also older children will be delighted with this model. Who doesn't want beautiful socks for winter, not these boring and ordinary models. So, we choose the best and look at the diagrams.
To work you will need:
- children's pekhorka yarn 100 g red (a little blue, dark blue, white);
- white laces;
- hook number 3.
Sole
In order to get sneakers with a small tongue in front, you need to tie the sole directly to this label. To do this, according to the indicated pattern, make the required length and additionally 2 rows with double crochets (7 double crochets will be for the first row and 5 double crochets for the second).
Climb
We continue knitting with dark blue yarn and we cast on along the edge of the sole (with the exception of the tongue, we cast on the loops in front of it) and the first row is single crochets. Next, we changed the thread and did the same with white yarn, then the row again with dark blue thread. The final row of the lift is a blue thread.
Toe
In fact, in this model the toe and heel are at the same time. It’s just that for the toe, decreases and single crochets are used, and for the heel there are simply single crochets and there is not a single decrease. Two rows of red thread, single crochet and decrease at three points along the toe (distribute evenly).Next are three rows, but at the toe decrease at three points and double crochets. And for the heel there are simply single crochets, but in the last row the middle 7 heel loops are done with single crochets. This will create a slight rise. The last row is knitted in a semicircle - these are single crochets, but they do not go along the toe (to do this, you must not grab the central stitches).
Label
All that remains is to knit a small tag for the sneakers. To do this, cast on 7 stitches along the inner edge of the previous row of double crochet stitches and knit 6 rows, adding one stitch in every second row. Next, 2 rows with single crochets (this will make the label a little heavier around the edge). Sew on the sole tag.
The model is almost finished and all that remains is to insert the laces and try to tie them on the baby’s leg.
Crochet booties-sneakers for girls and boys
Neat models of booties will look very cute even on an older child. The thing is that the tongue on the front and back of the product has a small contrasting insert that visually makes the booties smaller. After all, booties are always knitted for small children, since their large size no longer makes them so cute. But not this model - try it and you will be surprised how cute they are in a larger size.
To work you will need:
- children's yarn 200 g (gray, white, pink or blue);
- a piece of fleece;
- hook number 3.
Sole
The sole is crocheted according to the pattern, but for the label, additionally knit two rows incomplete (the first of 12 single crochet stitches and the second of 8 single crochet stitches). Knit the sole with white thread. Cut a small shape from the fleece, the size of the sole. This will make the booties softer and much warmer. Immediately sew along the edge (you can use a machine or you can do it by hand).
Climb
Knit in stitches along the edge of the sole, without touching the tongue. Knit two rows in single crochets without increments.
Toe
The toe and heel of the sneakers are knitted in the round and in one piece. To do this, change the thread to gray and knit a circle with single crochet stitches, but in the toe decrease in five places by one stitch. The second circle will be similar to the first one made of gray thread, keep decreasing.
Next in the work we will use a white thread and knit in the same way, but in the back part we will make single crochets. Repeat this twice. We move on to the gray thread and just single crochet, but now make two decreases on the heel.
Label
Using a white thread, pick up 7 single crochets along the edge from the inside of the booties behind the white row. Knit five rows with two rows of additives in one loop. Next is a row of gray thread in similar columns. Switch to red yarn and work three rows with single crochets. In the last one, to round the outer ones, make single crochets. Tie the label with simple single crochets using white thread.
Laces
Cast on a chain of air loops to the required length of lace. Carefully insert into the finished models. Cast on a chain of 20 stitches and knit two rows with single crochet stitches. This is the feature of this product, which is ready to make it visually smaller. Sew it on the heel. Sew on the tongue of the sole and the sneakers are ready.
Another masterpiece is ready and now the baby and mother feel happy. Don’t stop at these models, do things with your own hands again and again, because not everyone is given such a talent - to knit beautiful things and delight with your work.
