Knitted booties for boys

We got used to knitting simple booties for a boy. It’s just that some masters don’t yet know how diverse these models are. It is believed that lace can only exist for booties. In fact, many beautiful models for boys also include lace. In this article, craftsmen will get acquainted with beautiful and interesting models of booties. It’s better to learn how to knit some unusual pattern and surprise your loved ones and your baby with beautiful work. Also some information regarding the choice of yarn and tools for work.

Selection of yarn and knitting needles

Whatever yarn is suitable for children's clothes is also suitable for making socks. This soft fiber that will not cause allergies and will warm your feet.

Thus, any yarn from the children's series. But to increase strength, you can look at skeins from sock fabric, but they must also meet the criteria for baby fiber.

Stocking knitting needles are used for work and the corresponding number.Manufacturers are accustomed to marking the numbers of the hook and knitting needles that can be used to perform work on the product itself.

Measurements

For booties you will need to take some measurements. It is necessary foot length as well as foot width. Many models have the circular principle of knitting and therefore in this case it is not the width of the foot that is measured, but the circumference of the instep. This measurement corresponds to the middle of the foot length. Next, measure around the ankle circumference to get the correct elastic size. And also the craftsmen measure the length of the elastic band itself from the ankle to the upper free edge of the work.

How to knit booties for a newborn boy?

To perform booties, the boy just needs to follow the steps in the work. Initially, these will be measurements that the master already knows how to take on the baby’s leg.

Sample

An important point in any product will be small sample. His knitter often works according to the basic pattern, but there are some exceptions. A in some works the work is carried out using several samples. These squares will help you solve two things at once. From them you need to determine the knitting density, and it will be possible to count the exact number of loops for each measurement and calculate the exact number of rows. But also yarn consumption it will be useful to know.

Maybe for booties this is not so important, but for a more impressive size of canvas it will matter. Then two unique models are presented with detailed descriptions and diagrams for newborns that are suitable for a boy.

Booties for a newborn boy with bows

Very cute booties. Suitable for a suit and other elegant ideas. The main thing is that the baby’s feet will be warm, and both the baby and his relatives will appreciate this beauty.

For work use:

• children's yarn for socks in two colors;
• knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread;
• ribbon of different thicknesses for making a bow;
• black beads to decorate the toe.

Measurements

Measure the length of the foot, the width of the foot, the circumference of the ankle and the height from the ankle along the newborn's leg to make an elastic band. The elastic band will need to be slightly reduced by 1 cm.. This is necessary so that the model fits more tightly to the leg, but is not too tight.

Sample for booties

Execute with elastic bands 2*2 small square canvas. Then measure the tightness of the knitting. Based on the density, you can easily determine how many loops are needed around the circumference of the elastic, and how many loops and rows are needed for the foot.

Foot

The work of booties begins with the execution of the foot. It is carried out according to individual standards, and adhering simply to the scheme. The work needs to be done using garter stitch.

Toe

Cast on loops along the edge of the foot with several knitting needles and begin knitting the side. To do this, use 2x2 elastic pattern.

Knit 2 rows in a circular pattern without changes. Next, select the loops for the toe, and knit with an elastic band 2*2 with decreases. At first switch to elastic band 2*1, And then decrease the purl loops. When bringing the toe to the desired size, simply collect all the loops and pull it tighter.

Sides

Continue knitting the sides and grab the loops of the sides of the toe so as not to get holes.

Rubber

Then knit an elastic band with a small set of stitches in circular rows to the desired height.

Important! Estimate the required length of the elastic band of the booties, taking into account the fact that there will be a slight hem along the top of the shoe.

In this case, you only need to close the loops using the elastic method, so that nothing interferes with putting on and taking off these socks.

Border

Work the border with simple knit stitches. The width will be about 4 loops. Fix the outer loops to the fabric and knit around the circumference.

Decoration of booties

Decorate the finished product with black beads along the midline of the toe. It is better to use 2-3 beads. Make original bows using two ribbons of different thicknesses and colors. Sew them along the central part of the toe. So cute and very elegant models for a newborn boy are ready.

Booties for a newborn boy with pigtails

A very beautiful model of booties for a small child is made with knitting needles with an attractive braid and a delicate thread color.

For work use:

• children's yarn for socks;
• knitting needles and hook according to the thickness of the thread.

Measurements

Measure the length of the foot and the width of the foot along the baby’s leg, then measure the circumference of the instep and the length of the entire work from the heel. You will also need a measurement for the elastic - this is the circumference of the ankle and for it make a slight decrease. This is a necessary measure to ensure that the socks fit the baby’s feet and do not fall off. You only need to decrease it by 1 cm.

Sample

As a sample for booties, according to which the master will carry out calculations, it is worth using purl stitch pattern. Since this is what the master will use to work with the side surface. Knit a small fabric using this pattern and determine the knitting density for it. These are two numbers that reflect how many loops and how many rows are laid in 10 cm. Then you can calculate how many loops are needed for the width of the foot, and how many rows are needed for its length. And also distribute the loops around the circumference of the elastic band of the future model.

Foot

All work begins with the foot. Fulfill garter stitch. To do this, the master must use the given diagram and make his own corrections for it so that the number of loops satisfies the size of the toddler’s leg.

Side walls and toe

Knit two circles along the edge of the cast-on loops from the foot, and select loops for the toe and braid.

Important! It is very interesting in this work that you will not need to decrease the loops.

The whole point is that first pigtail It is knitted without transferring stitches and the result is a spacious fabric in stockinette stitch. Next, the pattern reduces the canvas. Purl the outer loops and take the outer loops on each side and simply knit them together with the last one. Tie to the ankle line.

Rubber

Connect all the loops and knit in circular rows and simple elastic band 1*1. You need to knit the length taking into account the fold along the upper border. Close the edge only using the elastic method.

Border

To obtain a clear edge between the sole and the toe, you need using a crochet hook, make a crochet stitch using simple single crochets.

Just one row and dense columns will create a raised and very pretty edge and stable booties.

These beautiful booties can be made for a newborn boy.
