Knitting booties for a doll with knitting needles
The master first prepares everything necessary for work. Then come the measurement steps. It is also very important for a small product to make a small sample in order to obtain a product that is accurate in size.
There is no need to rush at any stage.Below are examples of two works that can be knitted for a doll with detailed descriptions.
Booties for dolls with lace and beads
A very cute model that is suitable for playing with a doll. But the master must sew the beads well. It starts with the sole, and there is a little trick in the work itself to get such a wonderful toe.
For work use:
- children's yarn of two colors;
- stocking needles;
- mother-of-pearl beads;
- ribbon 1 cm wide, pink.
Measurements
Measure the length and width of the doll's foot. Then measure the circumference of the elastic at the ankle.
Important! You can involve your child in measuring the foot.
Sample
To calculate the loops, it is better to use a small canvas made according to the pattern purl stitch. You just need to knit a square and measure with a ruler how many rows and cm of purl stitch there are in 10 cm. Then use simple mathematical proportions and use them to calculate the required number of loops and rows according to the model.
Foot
The foot is helped not only by the measurement that the master previously created. Helps too special pattern for the foot. The foot should be knitted in garter stitch.. Since this knitting turns out to be very thick compared to other fabric patterns that will be used in such a model.
Sides
For the sides, use not garter stitch, but purl stitch. First, simply pick up loops along the edge of the fabric and knit without changing the number of loops, knit 3 rows. Knit in circular rows, and that is why you will need stocking needles at work. Then add a few stitches at the corners of the toe to get a little volume for the toe. This is the little secret of such an unusual toe in shape.
Toe
To get a toe you will need stockinette stitch knit the middle part along the width of the toe (it is usually a couple of cm smaller than the width of the sole). Knit and grab a loop on each side. Continue this way to the middle of the sole.
Rubber
Combine all the loops, and work the elastic band according to the diagram purl stitch, but knit very tightly. Knit to the required length.
Decoration
The decoration of these wonderful socks for the doll will be crochet shells.

For work use:
- yarn of a delicate shade for the base and bright multi colors for the butterfly;
- knitting needles and hook according to the thickness of the thread.
Measurements
Measure the width of the doll's foot and its length. Then calculate how many cm will be needed for the elastic band for the ankle size.
Sample
Knit a small fabric according to the main pattern, and then determine the knitting density for it. Then recalculate the loops and rows to the required sizes, and you can start working.
Foot
The foot of this model is knitted according to the approximate scheme, but minor corrections will be required in the length and, accordingly, in the width of the doll’s leg.
Sides
Next, after knitting the foot using facial surface, use a combination of canvases, and make a circular set along the edge of the trace. Make 4 rows of stockinette stitch, and then switch to purl stitch.
Toe
For the toe you have to work with facial stitch, and decrease the loops without a specific technique, so that there is simply an imperceptible decrease in loops of 3-4 in each row.
