Knitted marshmallow booties are very beautiful and actually simple. If you unfold them, it’s hard to believe that something will come out of this unusual geometric 6-gon. Masters and craftswomen will be more delighted because good models can be made for a boy too. This article provides a clear step-by-step description, how to make marshmallow booties with knitting needles. Models for girls, what helps to decorate them effectively, and how to make models for boys in the same familiar and fairly simple way.
Yarn and knitting needles
Yarn for such indoor shoes must be children's yarn. And this means that the canvas does not cause an allergic reaction. It is completely harmless and very soft. It is also quite warm, since socks of this type should always keep the baby’s feet warm.
Color solutions usually in the line of children's yarn do not allow the craftsmen to get bored. But also the main thing is the strength of the yarn.
Not all yarn for children can boast of high-strength threads.Therefore, it is worth purchasing balls from a line of special yarns - this sock yarn. It is very durable, as it contains special additives, most often just cotton threads, which will significantly increase the strength and leave the fabric hypoallergenic.
For working with booties, the craftsman often uses stocking needles, but these patterns can also be done on simple classic ones, since there is no circular knitting here. The canvases are made in two directions to obtain such an unusual figure.
Measurements
Measurements for this item will also vary. You will need to measure the length of your child's feet. Then multiply this length by 2 and use this measurement in your work. Since the booties are simply unfolded here. The wizard does nothing with the width. But it can be adjusted during the creation process, very intriguing and unusual descriptions.
Let's move on to two amazing master classes, and take note of the simple, quick and most beautiful models for children. We offer interesting models with step-by-step descriptions and diagrams with photos.
How to knit marshmallow booties for newborns?
There is nothing easier to knit booties based on the marshmallow principle for a newborn. Just measure his foot length, multiply it by two. Next, estimate the required height of the product, and also record it on a piece of paper so as not to confuse anything as a result of creating the model. No footsteps and no unnecessary actions.
Set of loops for 2 knitting needles
You just need to knit a single fabric, but in two directions, and then proceed to the assembly process, in which the master can easily adjust the width and some measurements of the sock.
Step-by-step instructions for two models of luxurious booties for newborns.
Marshmallow booties for girls
Original model in bright colors optional decorated with beads and a neat flower. Beautiful and very simple, it allows even a beginner to create a beautiful product in a few hours.
For work use:
- yarn of three colors for socks;
- hook and knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread;
- beads for decoration;
- transparent white ribbon for decoration.
Measurements
Measure the length of the baby's foot, and then estimate how tall the booties should be. Immediately multiply the length of the foot by 2, but leave the height of the product unchanged.
Facial surface
Sample
Make a small square and use it for garter stitch pattern. For it, all the loops just need to be knitted. Even in the purl row, you should break the rules and knit not according to the fabric pattern, as the masters are used to doing, but with simple knit stitches. The only exception here is for edge loops. They should be knitted only according to general rules. That is, the first loop will always be simply removed to obtain a smooth edge, but the last loop and it is also the edge loop in the row is a purl stitch.
Knit a square and calculate the knitting density to it. To do this, simply estimate how many rows there are in 10 cm, and how many loops are included in them. As a result, there will be only two numbers before your eyes, but they will help the master count how many loops and how many rows will be needed for the booties.
First painting
The first set of loops should correspond to the measurement of the height of the bootie, and calculate in advance how many loops according to the sample will be required. Next, divide the length of the foot, which has already been multiplied by 2, by 2, and knit the required number of rows using the current set. The resulting density will also help the master with this. Use for this square garter stitch pattern.
Second canvas
In this model, the second fabric can be made a continuation of the first, but not all the loops can be used in knitting, but 2/3 of their number. This fabric will completely create the toe of the product and part of the foot. Knit the fabric alternately stockinette stitch and purl stitch. To do this, perform 4 rows with this pattern and four rows with another pattern. Knit the required length, which will be equal to the length of the foot without multiplication.
Assembly
First, sew the edge of the long fabric and the edge of the short one. Then make a gathering to get the toe. To do this, thread the thread along the upper edge of the short fabric and tighten the thread. Straighten the fabric and make a few stitches to secure it. Next, do the same with the bottom edge along this canvas. All that remains is to complete the bottom seam and decorate the product.
Decoration
To decorate, make a neat bow from the prepared translucent ribbon, and crochet a neat flower. Then decorate the toe with beads in any direction. Additionally, you can sew an elastic band around the circumference or use a translucent ribbon as a fastener, which you can stretch through the ankle areas before creating the bow.
So the original and very simple model is ready.
Booties for boys using the marshmallow technique
Very cute and beautiful shoes for a boy. The little one will definitely like them. Original design and soft pompom. But the master will also be delighted with this idea, since spending less than an hour on one shoe is rare.
To work you will need:
- yarn of two colors for socks;
- knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread.
Measurements
Measure the length of the child’s foot and multiply this indicator by 2. Next, estimate what the height of the product should be, and also record it separately so as not to make a mistake when making the model.
Purl stitch
Sample
Knit a small fabric from the prepared fiber, and calculate the knitting density for it to correctly count the loops according to the prepared measurements.
Canvas
Then knit according to the height of the fabric, which is the width of the fabric and the length is equal to the length of the foot. Next, along the length of the foot, knit a continuation, but already 2/3 of the desired width in height.
Assembly
Make a seam that will connect the part into a ring. Then make two assemblies along the toe, one along the top, the other along the foot. Sew the last seam along the foot. All that remains is to make pom-poms to decorate the toe and the product is ready.
These cute and practical models of booties are very popular today, and do not take much time from the creator.
