Booties can be made with knitting needles without a single seam and will take a little less time. But the most important thing is that no seams will interfere with the baby’s leg. Externally, such models also look attractive. Two models at once with knitting needles without a seam, and a little information regarding the selection of yarn and knitting needles that will be useful for work.
Selection of yarn and knitting needles
Good for booties simple and soft baby yarn. She's completely hypoallergenic, has very soft fiber. Also threads with added wool are very warm. For children from 6 months, in addition to softness and safety, these socks have additional requirements - their strength. Therefore, craftsmen often choose models from the children's line to work with.
For booties are selected knitting needles strictly according to the thickness of the thread. Most of the work was done using stocking needles. The skeins of yarn already have a hint for the craftsman on the number of the hook and knitting needles that will be useful for the thread.
Sample
It is very important not to rush in your work, and to do everything according to the intended chain.These are small steps that allow you to make the model strictly according to the measurements and dimensions of the leg. The measurement is followed by a sample phase.
Myself the sample is a simple square canvas, which the knitter made according to the patterns of the main pattern of the item. This square (about 10x10 cm) helps solve several questions at once. For example, he can tell you how many stitches you need to knit for a job, and how many rows you need to knit for a job.
For this you only need determine the density for knitting, and apply the mathematical formula of proportion. But craftsmen believe that no less important is that the sample tells you how much yarn will be needed for the whole product. You need to either weigh the sample and make weight calculations. Or unravel the sample and measure how much length it takes. Since on each ball, manufacturers also mark the meter of yarn.
How to knit booties without seams?
There are several ways to knit seamless booties. Then the article discusses two methods and, accordingly, two models for performing this beauty. One model of booties is made from elastic to the foot, and the next - from foot to elastic. And both models of beautiful booties for newborns are completely seamless, knitted on two needles.
Seamless booties knitted with pigtails
Very bright and cute ideas for a baby. Beautiful braid located on the front and toe of the product. Such beauty begins from the elastic band and continues to the foot.
Select:
- sock yarn for children;
- knitting needles according to the thickness of the working thread.
Bootie measurements
You only need to measure along the little one's leg three sizes is the length of his foot. Later instep and elastic circumference. Then you can immediately make a small decrease of 1 cm along the elastic band.This way you can get the exact size and get a comfortable product.
Sample
According to the pattern of the fabric with a pigtail it will be necessary to make a canvas about 10 cm square shaped. Next, the master will determine the density of the knitting, and later it is this sample that will tell you the true number of loops to work with.
Rubber
These booties start with an elastic band. For it, use the appropriate number of loops. Knit in the round and use the ribbing pattern.
Knit the required length only in these rows and without the current addition of loops, taking into account that there will be a short turn according to the model.
Toe
Then distribute the loops to make the toe. For toe use braid pattern. Make the required number of loops for this braid.
Pigtail pattern
You will be able to knit a separate tongue. Then you will need to assemble loops around the edges for the sides of the tongue.
Raising booties
Cast on loops to complete the sides. Perform several rows for lifting, and use only stockinette stitch.
Facial surface
Foot
To obtain a foot of booties and at the same time complete the work, you will need to knit the foot tag in straight and reverse rows using stockinette stitch. In this case, in each row you will need to grab the loops, one at the beginning and one at the end of the row. Then combine the rows along the back and the loops of the last row, simply knitting the resulting loops in pairs. This is how the model turns out without a single seam.
Important! To obtain an even stronger model, you can make it in several threads.
Booties with jacquards without a single seam knitted
Stunning booties for baby's little feet. The already warm yarn has additional insulation along the elastic line due to loops from jacquard pattern. Outwardly it looks very cute; in addition, you can decorate the models with ribbons.
To work you will need:
- thread for sock yarn with high wool content;
- stocking needles according to the thickness of the main thread in work;
- ribbon for ties.
Measurements
Measure along the baby's leg. The main dimensions for cute booties are the instep circumference of the booties, then the circumference around the ankle and then the length of the foot.
Sample
Next you will need to use small sample for detailed calculation of loops along any of the presented circles. For it use the simplest facial surface, since the jacquard will not differ in density. Measure the resulting density. These are two numbers that reflect the number of loops and the number of rows that are in the pattern per 10 cm. Then, based on these calculations, the master will make small proportions that will accurately answer what dimensions are needed for the loops and the number of rows for the work.
Foot
Although these booties are without seams, the foot for them is knitted separately.
To do this, you need to cast on the required number of loops and use the proposed pattern to make the required number of rows. Use simple first garter stitch. This will help to get a tighter plantar part of the work.
Climb
Next, pick up stitches on the remaining 3 sides of the sole. And then continue knitting with simple stockinette stitch. Knitting is already done in circular rows.
Do not increase the number of stitches until the desired rise is achieved.
Toe
To get the toe of the booties, when knitting in the round, you will simply need to make decreases when knitting rows. Make decreases along two lines and the expected boundaries of the toe itself. Decrease until it touches the ankle. Next, continue knitting in simple circular rows without changing the number of loops.
Capes
In order to further insert the ribbon into the work, like a bootie tie or a thin elastic band, you will need to knit special rows with double crochets. To do this, yarn over every 3 stitches. And in the next round, knit the yarn over and the next knit stitch together. This is how you get the row for the ribbon.
Jacquard pattern
Make several rows of jacquard using a contrasting thread. You will get a very nice product. Jacquard can be considered more complex. But even such simple loops look very unusual and attractive in work.
You will need to close the last row using the elastic method of closing loops. To do this, you can use the double crochet method. It turns out very simple and fast. For this, you will need to yarn over each time and then pull the loop through the yarn over and through the next loop. There will always be only one loop on a working needle.
Decoration
To decorate and fasten the booties, use a simple thin ribbon.
These booties can be made without seams using knitting needles.
