How to knit footprints-slippers

Instead of the usual ones for the frosty period of the year, it is quite possible to knit yourself, with the help of knitting needles, traces. The comfort and convenience of such home shoes lies precisely in the tight-fitting and very soft structure. It will be possible to create similar ones, not only on two ordinary knitting needles, but also using stocking knitting needles. So, how to knit footprints-slippers with knitting needles.

Moreover, such shoes can be made not only for adults, but also for children. Depending on the chosen method or knitting technique, the footprints will come out seamless or combined with a seam. If there is such a desire, such slippers can be created in plain colors, or more elegant, as an addition to knitting, taking more colors and different variations intended for future shoes.

Ways of knitting with knitting needles

You should consider some very common methods for creating this product with your own hands:

Knitting footprints on two knitting needles

  • The knitting of the footprints on two knitting needles begins with the way it often happens, you need to pick up loops, the number of which will depend on the specific size of the foot of the future owner of the slippers. And also from compliance with the most important condition related to the fact that their number must necessarily be odd. For adults, about forty to sixty named loops may be needed.
  • In the very first place, when knitting tracks on two knitting needles, you need to create the top of the track and also all its sides. To do this, make 1 x 1 with any dense thread. It is necessary to knit from twenty rows, if you want to create slippers with a lapel and 10 rows, if without it. The next step is that the already knitted fabric of the side should be divided into two equal parts and one loop in its center. And then the knitting of the toe begins with a garter stitch up.
  • And for this, you need to knit the loops of the very first half in each of the rows, double crochet, and then knit the middle loop and double crochet again, knitting the second of the parts of this fabric. Further, in this way, it will be necessary to knit the canvas before the required depth of the trace is reached.
  • At the next stage of the action, you need to create a sole. Knitting tracks on two knitting needles usually goes exactly with a garter stitch, for the reason that this pattern is one of the most dense and, moreover, not too rigid patterns, which is very important for this part of the track itself. Next, the canvas must be divided exactly into three parts, where there should be an average length of eleven loops.
  • And then you need to knit a row in this way: knit to the middle part and then knit its first ten loops, and knit the eleventh together with the loop of the next part, like one. And then you need to unfold the knitting and knit exactly eleven loops, in exactly the same way.
  • Knitting continues in an identical spirit until, as a result, only the number of loops that was allotted specifically for the sole remains on the needles.
  • And for the back, all the remaining loops need to be knitted in several more rows, knitting them from one side or the other, along with the very first loop related to the side.

To better master this process, you should watch the video below:

Knitting footprints on four knitting needles

  • You need to start with a toe, using products prepared in advance for this type of product. And especially for this, you need to dial twelve loops on ordinary knitting needles, distributing them on stocking knitting needles. Then you need to start the process of knitting with front stitch, already from the first row, adding one loop at a time, and pulling out a brand new loop between two loops, on the very first of the knitting needles at the beginning of the row, and on the second, already at the end of the row.
  • On the third needle, exactly the same as on the first. And on the fourth already, as well as on the second. All loops of the additional type must be done until exactly fourteen loops appear on each of the knitting needles.
  • The next step, on which you need to knit twenty-four rows and reshoot ten middle loops on an auxiliary needle or on a large pin. Next, you need to knit the remaining loops, gradually, throwing them all onto one, for the reason that you need to knit further, only on two knitting needles.
  • Next, you need to knit forty rows specifically for the sole, and then proceed to knitting the heels. For this, it is necessary to divide the loops that are already on the knitting needle into exactly three parts, separating ten loops in the middle, especially for the heel. Next, you need to knit the heel to the very height that is necessary, at the same time, connecting them with the side loops, knitting the very last of the loops of the middle part with the very first loop located on the side.
  • Well, in the next step, you need to knit an elastic band. Especially for this, it is necessary to get exactly twenty loops on the hosiery needles along the side edges. As a result, four spokes will again be included in the workflow. And this is in total with the loops themselves, which were thrown over the pin.
  • When the knitting of the tracks on four knitting needles comes to an end, there should be exactly sixty loops. It is necessary to knit all the loops in a circle in such a pattern as an elastic band 1 x 1, six to seven rows in the number of rows. And after that, you need to close completely all the loops. Thus, the knitting of the footprints on four knitting needles is finished and the very first of the necessary footprints is ready.
