After creating various things, a knitter’s bins contain a large number of small balls. It’s often a shame to throw them away, but there’s not enough material to make a full-fledged product.
Don't be upset, there are a lot of items that can be created by eliminating unnecessary leftovers. One of these not only beautiful, but also useful things is a special product. This is something between socks and house slippers. It's called traces. They can be crocheted or knitted. And we will talk about the second option.
Attention! When using scraps to create, choose threads of equal thickness. Different densities can ruin the product, giving it an untidy appearance.

This thing will look great on both women's legs and the feet of the stronger sex. Basically, the difference between models is made by color and pattern.
Ladies' variations are more delicate and bright, while men prefer dark colors of soft tones.
Let's look at the creation of this item using several examples.
For women
The first version presented is made on two knitting needles using shortened rows.
Work order
- Perform on knitting needles semicircular front part garter stitch, shortened rows.
- Then close the calculated number of loops to form the toe and finish the side parts separately.
- Further make a sole. An insole can be used as a pattern for the sole.
- Sew the back seam and sew on the sole. It can also be knitted in one piece to the front by casting enough stitches along the rounded edge.
- To crochet, crochet one row in a crayfish step.
For men
The men's variation is most often represented by a model that imitates the appearance of sports shoes.
The working process
- For the front part, cast on the needles the estimated number of stitches and knit 5 r. with a scarf pattern (all stitches are knit).
- Divide the canvas into three parts, the sides should be the same, and the central one should be slightly larger.
- Continue knitting the middle with a 1x1 rib for a sufficient length, while slightly rounding the edge at the end of the element.
- Put the delayed loops into work and continue the fabric with the “Corn” pattern (about 3 cm).
How to make the “Corn” drawing
- Next, we knit the sole on the central loops, gradually knitting the edge loops and loops from the sides together.
- Close the loops and sew the back seam.
- Thread a lace or ribbon through the central part to imitate a tie.
Reference! A felt insole can be inserted into such a product. Thus, when wearing this thing, the foot will be massaged.
