How to crochet booties for a newborn baby

Knitting has long become fashionable. Some women even before the birth of the baby knit booties, although according to superstitions it is a bad omen. Most modern moms are not superstitious and want to tie their baby soft booties with their own hands. Learning this skill is not as difficult as it seems.

First you need to purchase the following items in the store:

1. Two hooks: small and bigger. The first will knit the sole (the figure will be more dense), and the second - the walls of the booties.
2. Threads need to buy soft and not very thick. It is better that it was an acrylic thread without adding wool. You can buy them in blue or pink or choose neutral tones that suit both the boy and the girl.
3. Be sure to buy a thimble. When mating, the index finger of the right hand or the left one suffers most if the person is left-handed.
4. Booties can be closed, like a sock, or have lacing. If you decide to make a more complex model, then you need to purchase a satin ribbon, which will turn the product into tiny sneakers.
5. Remember that you can make booties multi-colored, such as striped or patterned. To do this, select colors so that they look organic.

Types of baby bootees

The main function of the bootees is to give warmth to the feet of the newborn and protect the skin, so they are divided into groups:

1. By type of yarn: cotton, knit or felted.
2. By gender.
3. Seasons: warm for winters or light for summer.
4. For everyday wear or for holiday attire.
5. According to the form. They can be in the form of a sock, cake, shoe, shoe, with sharp or blunt noses.

The main thing for the baby is convenience, so it’s not worth making upgraded booties. Knit traditional variations and focus on simplicity of design. A woman should not only be comfortable to put on and remove them from the child, but also to take care that they do not fly off, but keep on their feet tightly.

The basic rules of knitting crochet bootees

To booties were not only beautiful and comfortable, but also safe, first of all, choose high-quality threads without synthetic additives.

The main recommendations of those who have experience in knitting and know how best to approach this process:

1. Choose only natural fiber.
2. Purchase a wooden or metal hook. Plastic is not reliable.
3. If you decide to decorate products, then sew the beads and beads very tightly. Small parts can come off and get the baby in the airways.
4. Decide on the size. It is better to knit a size larger, because the baby is growing rapidly, and it is necessary that this soft shoes do not hinder the movement of the toes.
5. Need to knit circular knitting. This will eliminate the presence of internal stitches that can injure the skin.
6. If the child is allergic to wool, it is better not to knit, and sew booties made of cloth.
7. Avoid embossed patterns. It is better to knit in the usual ways: with a crochet and without.
8. The hook should be slightly thicker than the thread. This will allow you to knit effortlessly and make the pattern more dense.
9. Remember that the threads stretch a little, so you should not greatly increase the size of the foot.
10. Do not buy thread too bright colors. Pediatricians are confident that bright colors can scare very young children, moreover, such threads more often shed the rest.

To determine the size of future bootees, it is enough to attach a ruler to the child’s foot and measure the length. The distance from the thumb to the heel is taken into account. Experts advise to buy acrylic yarn without adding wool. This will reduce the risk of allergic reactions.

How to knit sole for bootees

After the measurement of the legs is made, you need to draw a scheme for which the binding will be carried out. For this it is worth taking a regular notebook sheet in a cage. Draw a line with the size of the foot. Then in the middle of this line, draw another one that will correspond to the width of the foot. Connect this cross with an oval. This scheme will be a clear instruction for knitting the soles.

Put a diagram with a pattern in front of your eyes, take a thread and a hook in your hands and get down to business:

1. Tie a pigtail of exactly the same size as the main line of the drawing in the middle. In order not to be mistaken in size, count the number of cells on the tetrad sheet. 1 cell is equal to the 1st loop. To create a loop, you need to take the end of the thread with your index finger and thumb, hook up the other edge and pull it through the resulting ring. After the first loop is ready, we knit a chain using a similar method.
2. Then go to the second row. In order to get the first column, you need to thread the hook into the first loop, hook the thread and pull it out of the loop. You will get two loops on the hook, which are connected by one more crochet of yarn. With this method, we knit 5-6 rows to make a small rectangle.
3. Then you need to translate the shape of the product in the oval. To do this, on each corner of the rectangle you need to remove 1 loop. Just skip one loop when tying a new post and at the end also skip one loop. This will create an oval shape with a convex bottom.

Sometimes attach the product to the drawing to make sure that the process is correct. If the narrowing was started earlier, it will immediately become noticeable. After the oval is ready, it is not necessary to fasten the thread and tear it off. We will knit the walls in a circle so that there are no seams.

The most simple crochet booties for a newborn

When the sole is ready, it will be a shallow boat. This shape is created because loops were missed to create an oval. Now you need to move on to knitting the walls of the product, but before that you need to decide on the shape of the bootees. It is better for the first experience to tie them in the form of a shoe, which will be fastened to the leg with a tape.

Mating process:

1. Due to the fact that the product has acquired the appearance of the boat, the subsequent mating columns will go up. Need to knit a few rows to create a border booties. They should be about 4-5. Focus on the thickness of the child's fingers.
2. "Boat" has become deeper, which allows you to already place a baby's foot there. You can try and immediately determine where the heel will be.
3. Then we begin to knit a sock with the help of cross lines, taking one loop on each side. Knit in the shape of a crescent, from one edge of the spout booties to the other.
4. We tie up to the middle and leave enough space for the child’s foot to fit there.
5. The final stage is the design of the "throat" booties. The heel part of the product is already involved in this process. Need to knit a few columns up. Just in this border there will be a thread or a ribbon.

Having tied a pair, the booties looked like cute shoes. It is better to knit these products without nakida, if they are intended for the winter period, and with a nakida - if this is the summer version. In conclusion, we thread a thread or a ribbon, and we attach bells to it.

How to crochet openwork booties for baby

Fishnet booties fit is not much more difficult. The thread should be soft, so that the patterns do not rub the skin. The pattern is best done on the walls of the product.

Consider the mating algorithm:

1. We knit the sole according to the standard scheme.
2. When we start to bring the board, you can make a picture around the product. Now a very fashionable volume openwork knit.
3. To do this, knit one row with a double crochet. Starting the second, you need to capture one loop on the outside of the column, and the second on the inside. So alternate in a circle.

Get a voluminous tracery pattern. Do not need this method to tie the booties to the end. Focus on several rows, and then return to the standard knitting.

Tips for knitting booties

Consider the recommendations of those who knit for a long time:

1. Do not buy too thick threads. It is better to make a double sole so that the booties are warmer.
2. Constantly attach the product to the drawing and do not rush. Otherwise, you have to dismiss the thread and start all over again.
3. Do not sew for decoration small parts. Better decorate booties with colored threads for knitting.
4. Booties should be spacious. Fastening in the form of ribbons or ribbons will be able to hold them on the leg. A newborn baby does not walk yet, because the sole should not fit the leg.
5. The sole always knits without knit. This will make the thing more reliable, otherwise the booties will quickly lose their shape.

You can link some simple booties for sleeping, and others for walking. In the second version, you can add decorations. Remember, the main thing for a child is simplicity and convenience.
