Crochet moccasin slippers

Knitted shoes are not only very beautiful, but also comfortable. Recently it has become so popular that many masters are beginning to master this new product. And those who don’t know how to knit, look for a craftsman who can make a beautiful and fashionable item strictly to size. In this article there are two models at once that allow you to knit beautiful slippers even for beginners. Everything is so simple and accessible that the master simply cannot refuse such pleasure. Some models can be safely worn outside.

How to choose yarn and hook?

What yarn is your favorite for slippers? Here you need to understand the difference between outdoor slippers and indoor slippers. Since for the street the master will not insulate them much, but, on the contrary, will choose the yarn that is most resistant to moisture.

Cotton thread satisfies these qualities. But when knitting from thin iris you will need several threads at once. As a result, the threads will delaminate and this is not always convenient for the master and a lot of time will be spent on it.It is better to immediately use a thick cotton thread.

House slippers are pekhorka or something else soft. Craftsmen give particular preference to special sock yarn; it is warm and comfortable to work with, and will also last a very long time. The hook for any of the products is most often selected according to the thickness of the thread. But the tool itself should be comfortable in the master’s hand, and therefore preference is given to hooks with a concave center for the fingers.

Measurements

For such original models, several measurements will need to be examined. To do this, you will need to measure the length of your foot along the midline of the sole. Then measure the width of the foot at its largest part and the width at its narrowest part so that you can make smooth transitions.

Advice! It is advisable to outline the foot itself and cut out the footprint exactly according to its measurements, but this will apply to house slippers.

For the street model of moccasin slippers, a special sole is selected that will already correspond to the size of the foot. Next, another important measurement for this unusual couple is the height of the heel. Measured from the bottom of the heel to the desired size of the upper edge of the heel wall. For the toe, you will need to measure the circumference of the instep (this is a measurement in the middle of the length of the foot).

How to crochet moccasin slippers?

To make moccasin slippers, the knitter will need to find a model. Then select the required quantity and quality of thread. Tools are selected after selecting the thread. And accordingly, they will depend on the preferences of the master and the thickness of the thread.

Evaluate the moccasin fabric pattern and knit a small sample using it. The sample will help not only to calculate the yarn consumption, but also, based on the knitting density, will show how many loops and how many rows will be needed for the whole product.

Usually moccasin slippers begin to be knitted with a trace.Or, when the sole is ready, the master begins to make the product from the first row of single crochets along the sole.

Important! It is necessary to take into account the additions at the corners so as not to end up with very stretched loops. Then the required instep and toe for the model are knitted.

Multi-colored moccasin slippers with crochet beads

Cute and fairly simple moccasin models can be crocheted from familiar motifs. But only use motifs for the toe. The sides are knitted simply in circular rows. Gives special piquancy decorations, which cover the shortcomings of the motif and make the product more attractive and shiny.

For work use:

• sock yarn of different colors;
• hook according to the thickness of the sock yarn;
• thin sole (insole) for slippers;
• flower ribbon;
• shiny beads to decorate the toe.

Measurements

Measure the foot length and width for the moccasins, and select a suitable footprint according to your measurements. Next, determine the wall height and diameter for the motif. For diameter, measure the distance from the toe to the desired length to the ankle.

Sample

Using a slipper side pattern, first knit a small square and measure the tightness of the knitting to it. It will make it easier to determine the number of rows and columns for the product.

Motive

For the motif, use the required number of rows from the proposed circle motif diagrams. Use different colors in each row. Then simply put the knitted product aside and start tying the side of the trace.

Side harness

First you need to make holes according to the trace. It is better to use an awl for this. Punch holes at a distance of 0.5 cm. To do this, you can first make notches with a ruler and pencil. Knit two single crochets in one hole.On turns, perform several stitches in one hole (usually three single crochets). Then they will move on to the diagram for the side of the moccasins. Knit the required number of rows according to your measurements.

Assembly

To assemble, you will need to sew in a round motif instead of the toe.

Decoration

To decorate, you need to make a small flower from ribbon. Sew it in the center of the round motif. This flower will have to close the hole in the center of the knitting. Then start embroidering with beads. Use three beads for one place and fill the entire circle.

Now the new thing is ready.

Blue crochet moccasin slippers for outdoor use

Very soft and pleasant moccasins. Why not use them as everyday shoes? They will perfectly complement the set with your favorite jeans.

For work use:

• cotton yarn of medium thickness;
• hook for medium cotton thread;
• elongated beads made of wood;
• white elastic band for lacing.

Measurements

Measure the height from the heel to the desired line so that the slippers are comfortable and do not fall off your feet. Measure the width of the foot directly along the sole to the slipper, then measure the circumference of the instep, and calculate the difference. This measurement will be required for the thickness of the toe. Its length will need to be adjusted during the knitting process. It is very important to do fittings after knitting several rows of the toe.

Sample

Knit a small square according to the pattern for the toe, and calculate the knitting density for it. It will be useful later to determine the correct number of stitches along the edge of the sole and along the toe. You can also estimate the approximate number of rows to complete the sock.

Sides

You need to start work by preparing the sole. To do this, you first need to make marks for the punctures. These are holes with an awl at a distance of 0.5 cm (from each other and from the edge).Next, make the first row and use just single crochets, pressing each one more tightly to the sole. You need to knit very tightly. Make 2 posts in one hole. On bends it is better to use 3 columns.

Perform the next circular row according to the side wall pattern. Use the required number of rows and take into account that after completing the toe, you will need to make three more rows with simple dense stitches with one crochet.

Toe

Toe follow pattern of such flat lumps. First do them from the sock.

Important! To obtain a border, make rows and hook the loops onto the inside of the posts of the previous row.

Knit with gripping side walls to the desired line. Next is an interesting move that allows you to make a pattern with a smooth transition.

Columns

Then change the hook to a smaller number, and perform simple single crochet stitches in circular rows. Knit with slight decreases at the heel. A total of three rows will be required.

Assembling moccasin slippers

To assemble, thread a white rubber band through the posts of the first and second rows of the top of the slippers. Simply tie the top elastic and hide the thread with a hook. Tie the bottom one in a charming and contrasting bow. Place wooden beads on the edges and tie knots with an elastic band so that the beads do not fall off.
