Booties are the best, most practical and comfortable shoes for babies who don't walk yet. It is not difficult to knit booties. Beginner needlewomen can take advantage of a step-by-step master class with detailed description, photo and video of crochet.

The choice of yarn depends on the style and seasonality of the booties.

Creating shoes for little child, you should pay attention to natural yarn or hypoallergenic synthetics:

If you need warm winter booties, then it is better to opt for soft wool ... It should not "bite" and strongly fluff in order to be comfortable and safe for the baby. It should be borne in mind that when crocheting, the fabric turns out to be thicker than when knitting, so the yarn should not be taken too bulky. The optimum thickness is 200-400 m / 100 g.
Good "winter" properties have bulky synthetic yarn(for example, plush or imitation fur). These soft and cozy booties are made from baby acrylic.
Suitable for light summer booties cotton yarn, not strong twisting, with a thread thickness of 300-500 m / 100 gr. Manufacturers also offer microfiber made from synthetic fibers with properties similar to cotton (eg Diva yarns).
For elegant openwork booties the best option will become yarn with the addition of viscose or silk... Such yarn itself looks decorative, and in an openwork pattern enhances its beauty and elegance.

Booties sizes by month

The size (foot length) of booties can be found in the table.

Child's age	Foot length
0-3 months	7-9 cm
3-6 months	9-10 cm
6-9 months	11-12 cm
9-12 months	12-13 cm

Booties usually replace shoes, not socks, so they should be bulky enough to sit comfortably over sliders or tights. The length of the sole should be at least 1 cm longer than the length of the child's foot.

The width of the boot's sole is 60% of the length, and the rise height is about 30-40% of the length. The cuff should be elastic or have a fastener (often used is a tape that is threaded along the entire length of the cuff and brought forward to tie).

Classic baby booties: diagram, step-by-step description

Booties for beginners with step by step description The crochet of medium thickness can be crocheted in one day. An example of knitting will be considered for size 1-3 months (sole length 10 cm), yarn 250-300 m / 100 gr. The result is warm, cozy shoes with a laconic design. The level of complexity of the work is minimal. These booties are basic for most other types of knitting.

For the sole, you need to dial 10 base air loops and 3 VP. instead of the first column. Then knit in a circle (around the base chain), without changing direction, with double crochets.

For the first row, the hook is inserted into the first loop of the base (4 from the hook), and crochet stitches are knitted on all loops. From last loop(at the turn) you should knit 5 tbsp. from one loop of the base. Continue knitting on the base loops, but from the second side (the twist is inserted not under the half-loops, but under the bow between the loops of the chain). 5 tbsp are also tied from the last loop of the row. turning.

The first and last posts are connected by a connecting post:

At the beginning of each row, instead of the first column, 3 vp are knitted. Ascent.
In the second row, on 5 columns of the turn, they are knitted according to the 1st st.s.n.
In the third row, on each of the 5 pillars of the turn, 2 tbsp are knitted. from one loop of the base.
Next, the sole needs to be knitted to the desired size, evenly making 5 increments on turns in each row.

To lift, knit 4-5 rows of st.sn without increments in a circle. The result is an oval cup. Its volume should be sufficient for the baby's leg. For a clearer border of the soles of the booties (for beginner needlewomen, it is better to use a diagram with a step-by-step description), the first row of the rise can be crocheted from embossed posts.

Embossed columns require some skill:

To form a toe, further knitting continues on one turn, and 1/3 of the base (straight posts) on each side of the turn. They must be counted. There will be as many rows as at the sole.
At the end of the knitting of the toe, 5 loops should remain. To calculate the contractions, the difference between the start and end loops (here 5) is divided by the number of rows. The resulting number of loops must be reduced in each row. To do this, you should knit several st.sn. into one.
The remaining 5 stitches are knitted into one. To do this, the crochet hook is inserted into the first loop of the base. The crochet is knitted, but the column is not knitted (a loop remains on the hook). Another yarn is made and knitted from the second loop of the base. And so 5 times.
The resulting 5 loops are knitted in one. It turns out 5 columns, knitted with one vertex. The result should be a toe-semicircle.

The next step: knitting the top of a bootie: the easiest one even for a beginner and does not require a detailed description.

All crochet stitches are crocheted in a circle to the desired height. The beginning of each row is 3 vp. rise, at the end connecting post... The work is ready.

Openwork booties

Openwork booties are best knitted from thin cotton yarn. The sole is knitted as described above. For thin yarn, the number of initial loops and rows for all elements must be increased in proportion to the thickness of the thread. To knit a bootie lift, it is better to choose an openwork pattern from "shells" or "arches".

You can knit a lift as in the basic description, and use openwork in knitting a toe and top.

A toe, connected as a separate element: a flower or a geometric pattern, will also look beautiful. The top of a bootie usually consists of two elements: a line for a decorative ribbon and a row of openwork "shells". To form a convenient stitch for the ribbon, crochet stitches are knitted on every second loop of the base, one air loop is knitted between the stitches.

Openwork booties are less elastic. It is better for beginner craftswomen to use step-by-step description for crocheting a specific model of booties. In this case, the ribbon will serve as strings, putting the shoe on the leg.

Booties-slippers

Booties-slippers differ from the basic ones in the absence of a top, so even an inexperienced needlewoman will cope with the task. You can simplify knitting a toe (as in the step-by-step description of the basic model) by replacing it with a crocheted decorative element.

To make the slippers safe, you need to sew on the knitted sole. leather insole rough side out or embroider several anti-slip elements on the sole with silicone (rubber) thread. Another option for knitted house slippers is prefabricated models of 6 or 8 square elements, sewn according to a specific pattern. This version of booties is the simplest of all.

Knitted sneakers for a boy

Knitted sneakers will definitely attract the eyes of others: they are original and practical at the same time. Booties-sneakers look more interesting if they are knitted of yarn of two colors, for example, a light sole and a denim top.

In order for the sneakers to keep their shape well, it is better to knit them with single crochet or half-crochets:

The sole is knitted with a light thread according to the standard pattern, the thread is fixed and broken.
The rise is knitted with the yarn of the main color. The first row of instep is tied perpendicular to the sole, which creates an effect like a real shoe.
It is better to tie the toe with the main pattern.
Further, for the tongue, with a separate cloth, it is necessary to knit only the loops of the front part of the bootie, which is located above the toe. And the canvas of the main part of the sneaker should be started and finished with an overlap on the side surface of the spout.
The sides of the top of the bootie should be almost closed in front to create a clasp effect like a real shoe.
Laces (as laces can be thin ribbons, a dense chain of air loops or braid) can be threaded into the holes of a knitted fabric or knitted along a series of arches of air loops on the sides of the sneaker.

Knitted sandals

For light sandals, choose fine yarn made from natural fibers (cotton, linen) or microfiber. For such shoes, the sole should be knitted with almost no increase in size, since the light open bootie has an exact fit on the leg. The peculiarity of the sandals is that the rise does not fit with a closed cloth.... The sole is knitted separately with the back.

Having finished knitting the backdrop at the desired height, the thread is not cut off. Starting from the corner of the backdrop, a chain of air loops is assembled for one strap. To knit the strap in the opposite direction, you first make a loop at the end for the button, and then you need to return along this chain with single crochets.

Without tearing off the threads, knit a row of stitches along the back to the second side and tie the second strap in the same way. The thickness of the strap should be knitted in straight and reverse rows. You can sew a button on it without a loop. The sock is usually knitted in the form of an arc or curly element of a suitable size.

Summer booties-shoes for girls

Mom can knit booties-shoes for special occasions for little princesses on her own. You will need an elegant yarn, for example with silk, viscose or soft lurex, and a suitable crochet hook. It is better to knit in single crochet, so the work will look neater. The shoes should fit well on the leg, so the sole is knitted exactly to size.

To make the booties look neater, the transition to the rise does not need to be highlighted in any way: for the rise, just continue to knit single crochet.

From 2-3 rows of the rise, it is necessary to begin to reduce the number of columns in the area of the toe, 2 columns in each row. The rest of the rise (sides and back) is knitted in a straight line, without any reductions. Knitting should be completed when the shoe is of the desired height.

To knit a strap, the thread is attached to the side of the heel, and a chain of air loops is knitted so long that it wraps around the baby's leg. At the end, you need to make a buttonhole. The strap and backdrop are tied with straight and back rows of columns. A button must be sewn onto the second corner of the backdrop. The shoes can be decorated with bows or beads.

Winter version in the form of a boot

Warm functional booties can be knitted in the form of boots. The yarn should be chosen bulky, wool or acrylic. The boot is knitted in the same way as classic booties. Only in this case it is necessary to make a higher bootleg.

Crochet booties for beginners with a step-by-step description are suitable for both boys and girls.

To keep the baby warm, the bootleg should be close to the leg. And to make it convenient for mom to put on booties, the top of the boot must be either elastic or have a fastener.

Booties-ballerinas

Booties-ballet shoes are knitted in the same way as shoes, only without a backdrop and fasteners. Tie the sole and instep together, reducing the number of loops in the front to form the toe. For a better fit on the leg, you can choose an elastic yarn (special elastic twist or with the addition of elastane).

New Year's booties

Bright booties in New Year's design will be an excellent accessory for a photo shoot. Booties are knitted according to the classic scheme, and then decorated.

There are many options:

Red or green booties with fluffy white trim, decorated with small white pom-poms.
Red or blue booties with snowflake embroidery.
Red booties with an applique on the nose in the form of the face of Santa Claus.
White booties, decorated in the form of a snowman. On the upper part, you need to embroider the face, and on the lower (on the nose), sew small dark buttons in a row. Tie the border of the instep and bootleg with a mini-scarf.

Animal booties

To knit funny booties in the form of animals or cartoon characters, you need a fantasy yarn "grass" or other suitable texture and appropriate colors. The knitting pattern is basic. There are no strict rules for implementation, the author's flight of imagination is welcome.

Booties-hedgehogs

To knit them, you need a yarn "grass" of medium hardness with a long pile of gray. The yarn for the sole and muzzle is acrylic of medium thickness. You will also need eyes and a nose (you can embroider them with black yarn).
Tie up sole and instep acrylic yarn according to the scheme for ballet shoes. Shaft with "grass" to the desired height. A nose and eyes are sewn on the muzzle.

Crocodile booties

For crocodiles, smooth yarn of medium thickness is suitable. Outsole and instep knit as normal. Shaft - with "scales" pattern. For the muzzle, you need to sew on the eyes, embroider 2 nostrils with black threads on the nose.

Booties-bears

Booties-bears are best knitted in a classic style from plush yarn... 2 small knitted semicircles (ears) must be sewn on the toe closer to the bootleg. A small circle is knitted from the main yarn or a lighter shade (for the muzzle). It is sewn onto the tip of the toe, placing a little padding polyester for volume. Sew-on eyes are used.

You can knit booties from grass yarn with short pile Brown color... From smooth yarn of the same color, knit the muzzle and ears and sew.

Booties-Minions

To knit these mischievous booties, you will need yellow and blue yarn and the remains of gray, white and black. Smooth yarn (cotton or acrylic) with a thickness of 300-450 m / 100gr. Outsole and instep knit from yarn yellow color... Next, a blue thread is attached, and a small cuff is knitted (along the leg).

Around the perimeter of the sole, it is better to make a contrasting blue harness, next to several single crochet columns.

So that the strapping does not tighten the canvas, 1-2 columns are needed at the corners. Small circles (eyes) are made of white yarn, gray or black glasses are made next to a single crochet. They must be sewn to the toes of the booties, and the smile must be embroidered with black thread.

How to decorate booties safely and beautifully?

Decorating even the most simple booties, you can get an elegant, bright and fashionable detail of a children's wardrobe. For design, you can use ribbons, buttons, appliques, beads. When decorating shoes for a baby, it is important to follow the rule: all elements must be safe (do not have sharp, removable parts). The decor can only be sewn on.

Neither riveted nor glued joints are acceptable for children's clothing.

For boys, you can take curly baby buttons. A sewing-on applique of the corresponding theme will look good. An interesting result can be obtained using the satin stitch technique on knitted fabric booties. The technique is simple, even a beginner can handle it. You can use any phased schemes embroidery of a suitable size, they look good on a crocheted canvas.

Knitting pattern for booties-shoes:

What are booties for? Rompers and tights now and then try to slide off the baby's legs, but booties will help to avoid this. Beautiful and neat booties sit on their feet and hold the fugitives in their place.

Do not forget about the popular photo shoots that mothers began to practice so often almost immediately after the birth of the baby. In addition to booties, there are also others knitted accessories used in such photo shoots.

Booties can also be an excellent gift for a family where a baby has recently appeared. Knitted booties help mom to tune in to the notes of the maternity melody and quickly establish contact with the baby. It is not for nothing that there is advice to mothers suffering from a lack of milk to hold and look at children's things more often in their hands.

For a change, you can familiarize yourself with, tiny, lacy. Or maybe you will also master the knitting needles and knit such delicate ones.

In this master class you will learn how to crochet booties. Do not be afraid to knit them, this is a fairly easy and simple way suitable for beginners. Everything is painted step by step, with a photo and a description of the process. A diagram is also attached.

The knitted booties themselves consist of several parts.

The first detail to be faced is the outsole. It is necessary to knit it according to a special pattern. One of the most convenient schemes is presented below.

For knitting itself, you have to choose the right yarn and a hook. For the cold season, it is better to choose yarn containing wool, and for summer period it is better to choose cotton yarn.

In this master class, yarn with 40% wool content Alize Baby Wool is used. In addition to wool, the composition also contains bamboo and acrylic, which makes the booties soft and delicate to the touch, which is also important for children's delicate, sensitive skin.
A 2.5 hook is selected for the yarn. It fits according to the manufacturer's recommendations on the label of the selected yarn.
You will also need to prepare 2 buttons.

According to the scheme, the beginning of work consists of a set of a certain number of air loops (VP). You can choose the initial amount of bp yourself to obtain a certain size of future booties.

If you knit strictly according to the pattern using the selected yarn and a hook, the size of the booties is 9 cm. This corresponds to the age from 0 to 3-4 months.

Accordingly, to obtain a smaller size, for example, on a leg, it is necessary to knit at first a smaller amount of VP.

The number of VPs for a specific the size can be calculated as follows:

It is necessary to measure the length of the baby's foot and its width.
Subtract the width from the length and get the value in centimeters, which corresponds to the length of the chain from VP.

How to crochet booties for beginners - step by step master class:

Our first step in the form of a set of chains from vp looks like this.

In the first row of the harness, we make columns with 1 crochet (c1n) with an increase in the number of columns at the edges. At the end of this and all the next ones, we knit 1 connecting column (ss) to complete the row.

The next row of harness already contains double posts, consisting of 2 c1n, knitted in one loop of the base.

In the third row, there is also an increase due to double columns at the edges.

So the first detail of the booties has turned out. The length of the sole is the promised 9 cm.

Now you need to move on to the second part, which is the main part of the booties.

To do this, we knit 1 row of single crochet stitches (sbn) behind the back wall of the loops of the extreme row of the sole.

This is how the knitting is oriented not to the side, but up, which is what is needed for further knitting of booties. The next step is to knit 1 row of sbn using white yarn.

Next, we move on to knitting 1 row of c1n using the base color, in this case beige.

Now we knit 1 row c1n, but in the area of the toe we knit decreases to start forming the shape of the shoe. The decrease occurs due to knitting 2 c1n with one vertex.

The decrease occurs due to the knitting of such decreases in the amount of 6, i.e. you need to make 6 double inverted checkboxes (3 checkmarks to the right of the middle and 3 checkmarks to the left of the middle).

In the next row, the decrease occurs by tying 3 c1n with one vertex to the tops of the inverted checkboxes of the previous row. In total, you should get 2 elements from the built columns.

In the next row, the decreasing element consists of 4 c1n with one vertex, 2 of them come from the vertices of the triple elements of the previous row, and the remaining 2 go from the tops of c1n along the edges of these triple elements.

Along the edge we knit with ss white yarn the 1st row to the tops of the posts.

Now we move on to knitting the clasp. We make a chain of 21 VP.

In the opposite direction, we knit lifting 3 VP and then 2 s1n, make a pass in the form of a set of 1 VP and pass 1 loop from below. Next, we knit a row of c1n.

We fix the knitted strip on the row of the main part and then we knit the row c1n.

We prepare 2 buttons to match the color of the booties.

We sew them on the side.

Booties for beginners - Decoration

On the side, you have to knit a flower in such a way that the base (middle) consists of the columns of the booties themselves.

In the interval between the rows of columns, we thread a hook and knit a chain of 2 VP.

In the same top we knit 2 c1n, 2 ch and 1 cc in the same interval. We get the first petal.

In the column on the left we also knit 2 ch, 2 c1n, 2 ch and 1 cc, then also 2 ch and 1 c1n, i.e. it turned out 2 petal and half of the 3rd.

We knit the second half of the petal in the lower gap between the rows, we knit 1 more half of the petal in the same place. We knit the second half of the 4th petal in a column on the right and knit another 1, 5th petal into the same petal on the right.

Ready. Now you know how to crochet booties for beginners.

Crochet booties master class, prepared for beginners: Lilia Pervushina

These booties crocheted, sit comfortably on a small leg. Unlike many other booties, which knock or slide, making it difficult for a tiny man to take confident steps.

The secret is in the sole. It is she who makes it possible to knit booties, which not only look good, but also wear well.

By the way, it is this sole that I use as a base for crocheting slippers for adults. Of course, they fit in with some changes for an adult foot, but this pattern helps to make the slippers beautiful and comfortable. But this is so, by the way.

Crochet booties step by step

Crochet comfortable foot pattern for booties

Knitting according to the scheme, only we knit the last row to the middle of the heel and do not break the thread. We knit tightly, this is still a sole, albeit a thread one.

We knit the back row with single crochet columns, for this we introduce a hook under the pigtail.

Steam the finished sole.

Description of the top of the booties

We knit 2 rows of double crochet (CCH) in a circle, bend in half and mark the center of the toe.

We count 13 loops from the center to the right and tie the working thread. We knit a sock according to the scheme (beginning where 3 VP).
The remaining 5ССН on each side are crocheted on the wrong side.

We knit the heel from the middle of the heel:

1 row - CCHs in a circle, in the corners of the connection with the toe, 3 CCHs together, along the top of the sock, 2 CCHs for each CCH lying across
2 row - PRS in a circle
3rd and 4th row - mesh (CCH + VP on every second loop of the base)

This grid of posts will serve as the basis for the ruffle if you have a girl. For a boy, you can knit something more brutal. For example, just a lapel and decorate not with beads and ribbons, but with a Christmas tree or Santa Claus, a snowflake or something else.

It is necessary to dial 1 VP of the rise and, holding the sole and the booties with the wrong side to each other, tie them together with the article b / n. In the diagram of the soles, the column from which we begin to connect is marked in red.

Please note that when connecting, we only capture the inner parts of the hinges!

Crochet ruffle

On the last row of the mesh, we knit 3 CCH + VP between them for each wall of the cell in a zigzag (as if with the letter P)
It remains to decorate with finishing color. We knit in chains of 3 VP, RLS between CCHs of the previous row
On the pigtail, which we have left on the sole, we also knit 3 VP, RLS. Beads can be knitted here.
We knit a flower, decorate with beads and sew on a bootie. We pass the ribbon along the row of the grid.

The booties are ready. Light loops and joy for your baby. Let him walk confidently on the ground to the delight of mom and dad, as well as aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Afterword: on the basis of these booties, excellent slippers-ankle boots for home are obtained. They fit perfectly on the leg. It is only necessary to make the heel higher, knitting the back part in shortened rows.

Each future mom, preparing for the appearance of the baby, wants her crumbs to have all the best and most beautiful. When a woman leaves for maternity leave, she has more free time, but there is no longer an opportunity to engage in active activities. Many are fond of knitting. If you are new to this business and want to learn how to crochet booties for beginners, read on. The article discusses simple options... They can be easily dealt with.

What thing to do?

Many expectant mothers begin to prepare for a meeting with a baby in advance, buying bonnets, diapers, romper suit, undershirts, linens... Women often ask about what and how much to have. It all depends on the time of year in which the baby is born. If you like to do needlework, you can knit a hat, a scarf, sling beads, educational toys and crib decorations for your child. If the apartment is cool, baby booties will be required. You can crochet them yourself. They will keep the warmth of mother's hands and warm the baby's legs.

How to choose a knitting method?

The easiest way is to crochet booties. The beginner's schemes are very simple and don't require a lot of experience to complete them. In addition, it is easier to get different decorative elements here - flowers, circles, balls, holes.

Knitting can be more difficult, especially for small objects. In addition, crocheting is easier to make a complex volumetric shape without seams. To create a beautiful thing, it is enough to be able to make ordinary single crochets. More complex elements will be required for openwork knitting, a decorative surface pattern. If you've decided to master crochet for beginners, booties are a very good first try.

Design and style

The variety of models and decorations of booties amaze the imagination. You can use any ideas that you like. For girls, most often choose openwork knitting with abundant additional decor in the form of ribbons, bows, flowers, beads. Crochet booties for a boy can be made in blue. The most original version will be the shape of a stylized typewriter. Themed models with animals are interesting. Butterflies, berries, chamomile are more feminine styles of performance.

The shapes may also differ slightly. Make booties with ties. They are the most versatile, as they firmly hold on to the leg, even if the baby is actively moving them. A sandal or a boot will also not slip, but booties resembling a bast shoe or ordinary slippers should be tightly held on the leg, otherwise the child will definitely throw them off or lose them. So, when choosing a sample or coming up with a design yourself, proceed from considerations not only of beauty, but, above all, convenience and functionality.

What is required?

If you have not yet decided what specific options you will do, or want to try several, buy any hook number from 1.5 to 2.5. It is chosen, as a rule, in accordance with the threads. Slim is a must-have. It will always come in handy for creating small parts decor.

It is better to use special yarn for children. It usually costs more, but is considered hypoallergenic. This is especially important for those things that will come into direct contact with the skin. You can buy, of course, any thread of your favorite shade, but if the baby develops redness from them, you will have to use your booties for the doll or as a decoration.

Pick up decorative elements in advance. For girls, beads, ribbons, flowers are used. If you are going to make typewriter booties, use buttons as headlights.

For the face of an animal, it is worth buying ready-made eyes, although it is easy to tie them yourself.

If you are afraid that all this beauty can accidentally fall off during use and harm the child, give originality to the thing through the selection of colors.

A charming effect can be achieved by an openwork pattern, frills. However, such models require special care, since they involve constant counting of loops and following the pattern of the pattern. For beginners, it's best to practice with simple options.

How to crochet booties for beginners?
