Yarn

Such models can be worn instead of woolen socks. Cotton thread is perfect for shoes, even for going outside.

But the thread must be thick, and most knitters prefer to do their work using several threads at once. No allergic components or other additives that may cause discomfort. Everything is only natural and the result is a lovely and very comfortable pair of moccasins.

Hook

What kind of tool is needed to create shoes. Here the hook will not differ in special criteria. It just needs to be convenient for the master himself, and selected according to the thickness of the thread.

How to crochet men's moccasins?

men's moccasins 3Men's moccasins are made according to the principle of creating any shoe with crochet. But if the craftsman begins to make home slippers by making a footprint, also using yarn and a hook in his work, then such a pair can be started immediately from the side walls.

For them, you should prepare a special sole in advance, and cut out a footprint from dense material. The track itself is simply glued to the sole. Let's take a closer look at creating a couple using the example of a beautiful model in gray and blue tones.

Crochet two-tone moccasins for men

For work use:

  • shoe soles of a suitable color and model;
  • yarn of two colors (in this case the master used gray and blue cotton thread);
  • track made of thick fabric.

Measurements

Leg measurementsMeasurements will be needed to select the exact size according to the trace. Then all knitting will be based on its length and width.

But the toe should be made more tightly and therefore it is worth taking a non-standard measurement and measuring the length from the fingers to the required length of the toe.Next, measure the circumference of the ankle to estimate how many loops there should be in the end after numerous decreases along the toe and heel.

Sample

Study the pattern carefully. This simple single crochets, due to the two colors, we get such an unusual picture of a familiar and rather simple crochet pattern. Knit the sample according to the specified pattern, but immediately use as many threads as you plan to complete the product.

Next, simply insert a ruler and use it to determine the density of the knitting. You will need to count how many loops and how many rows fall per 10 cm. The result is two knitting density numbers. Later it will be possible to count how many posts will be needed for the upper part of the shoe so that the moccasins fit tightly around the man’s ankles.

The most important point in the shoe is the first row in the set along the sole. Initially, you will need to make special divisions, every 0.5 cm.

Advice! It’s better not to trust your eye, but to do everything reliably using a ruler, and mark the places for the holes with a pencil or marker. Then use an awl and pierce the holes so as not to spoil the hook and not spend a lot of time on each hole in the process.

Then work begins from the first row. Here you need to thread two posts through one hole, but on turns it is better to make three posts in some places.

Heel

Use dark thread and make a heel lift. Work in partial rows to create a rounded tag.

Toe

Start from the sock itself, and first make short rows across the product according to the basic pattern, then gradually make additions. For the central part, in place of the laces, small stripes of contrasting thread are drawn with yarn.

Side

Then, along the heel and along all the loops of the label, the side side begins. The last row is made of contrasting thread. You will need to make small cuts to ensure that the product fits well on your foot.

Assembly

The last step in this work will be gluing the insole. This will hide unnecessary loops and close all the holes obtained during the first set. The seam will be almost invisible, and the foot will be quite comfortable with an insole made of dense material.
