Tags: #Lace

The booties themselves always attract the attention of craftsmen. But those made using lace are generally a guarantee for the success of any product. The article contains two models of booties with beautiful lace knitting. And also good advice from the master regarding yarn and knitting needles that should be used in your work. With these tips, even a beginner can make a beautiful product in just one evening.

Yarn and knitting needles

When knitting booties for newborns, you always want to make something beautiful, even if the craftsman doesn’t have much talent to complete the pattern. But he can always choose the right thread and tool with the right advice from other more experienced craftsmen.

As for the choice of yarn for such work, this is only baby fiber. It will differ in both hypoallergenic composition and softness.

Beautiful colors are almost half the way to a unique and beautiful model. But this is not the only important thing for children's things. It is worth paying attention to their strength. Since the baby is crawling everywhere, simple threads will quickly wear off and stretch. A line of special sock yarn helps here.

Knitting needles for booties are stocking needles and they must match the thickness of the thread. This is important for obtaining a denser fabric, which will also be responsible for the strength of the product.

Sample

Measurement points are very important. For example, taking measurements. But they turn out to be not so important if the master does not knit a sample and does not determine the knitting density for it. Since it is precisely such a small square that is assigned so much responsibility at once. And not only loops and the number of rows for work can be calculated from these samples. For larger sizes, knitters can make yarn calculations.

Measurements for booties

Measure immediately foot width according to the model, further measure the length of her foot and the circumference of her ankle to make the correct rubber band for the model.

Sample

To obtain a sample, apply purl stitch knitting needles For this satin stitch, immediately determine the knitting density. This is an indicator of the number of loops and the number of rows in 10 cm.There should be two numbers, and later the master simply draws up proportions to determine the correct number according to the required measurements of the product.

Foot

Work begins strictly with the foot. Use for foot garter stitch. Since this pattern will go well with the purl stitch, and it will also make a very dense sole part. Knit according to the provided pattern, in which you will definitely need to make your own corrections regarding the width and length of the product.

Toe and side surface

Next, along the edge of the foot, you will need to cast on 4 loops with knitting needles. Knit using purl stitch in simple circular rows. For the toe, make neat decreases in stitches. Decrease in different places each time so that it is not noticeable, and in the end you will get such a rounded toe on the product.

Decrease to the ankle line. Then knit one row with yarn overs, which in the next row you can simply knit together with the adjacent loop. This will be needed for the bow tie.
