How to knit booties for a newborn?

The loops should be cast on according to the height of the foot + 1/2 the width of the foot. Add about ten more stitches for the cuff.

How to knit booties for a newborn?

Next, knit the booties in garter stitch, see the picture above. You should knit half the length of the foot.
Then close ten loops, they will go to the cuff of the finished baby booties.
Then alternate two rows of stockinette stitch and two rows of purl stitch. This way you will have to knit the length of the foot.
See the picture below. Now you need to pick up ten loops so that in the future you can create such a figure (part of the cuff).

Knitting booties

Knit the second half in the same way as the first half (with a scarf pattern). Next, close the loops.
Using the same pattern, knit the second product onto the second leg. Then sew the booties. To do this, just make a seam along the height of the booties, gather the loops in front, and pull them together, as in the figure below.

Beautiful pink booties for babies
You can sew the products either with a crochet hook or with a needle and thread. And the decoration in the form of ribbons, of course, only needs to be sewn on with a needle. The top of the booties is folded up. In addition to bows, you can also sew beads or buttons to the booties for beauty. You will need very little time to knit.

IMPORTANT : For any booties, knitting needles are selected separately. The knitting needles must match the thickness of the threads. That’s why they buy the yarn first, and only after that they select the knitting needles. The thread markings indicate which size tools are best to use.

Tips for Beginners

When starting to knit clothes for newborns, you should take into account a number of nuances. To ensure that the result of the work does not disappoint and retains its original attractiveness for a long time, you should adhere to some rules. They relate to the choice of material for knitting and the process of creating the product:

The booties must be sized accurately. To do this, measure the length of the foot from the edge of the big toe to the heel. If the baby has not yet been born, or for some other reason it is not possible to take measurements, knitting is performed based on the average size. The length of the foot in a newborn is about 8 cm, in a three-month-old child - up to 9 cm, and in a six-month-old child - 10-11 cm.

The yarn is selected depending on the season. It is advisable to choose a variety designed specifically for children, as indicated by the corresponding mark on the label. It should be soft, hypoallergenic, elastic and not very thick.
Knitting needles must be selected according to the thickness of the threads. You can knit in the round or in stockings.
Ties and small details (beads, buttons, pompoms) must be firmly sewn to the booties so that the baby does not tear them off.
All existing seams must be flat and elastic. The raised scars should be brought out so that they do not rub the delicate baby skin.
Before starting work, you should knit a small sample with the selected yarn and count how many loops there are per 1 cm of fabric. The resulting figure must be multiplied by the length of the baby’s foot. This is the number of loops required for most bootie models. Knitted items can stretch or shrink after washing, so it is advisable to wash and completely dry the prepared sample before starting calculations.

Knitting booties for babies from 0 to 1 year with a description on circular knitting needles

Booties for newborns can be knitted using various methods. This master class will present an example of products on circular knitting needles. Threads for children's knitted shoes should be selected hypoallergenic. Yarn in the form of acrylic, microfiber, wool, cotton is suitable.

Tips for choosing threads:

Cotton threads have pleasant tactile characteristics. Products made from this yarn can be worn by babies even on bare feet. There will be no abrasions on the delicate baby skin.
Products made from wool and half-woolen threads are suitable for knitting baby booties for the cold season. But it’s better to wear them over rompers or tights.
Not all acrylic material You should choose threads from the children's series. They are able to retain heat moderately. The baby can wear products made from them on bare feet. The advantage is that the booties retain their appearance well without any external damage.
Wool-blend threads wear well, and products made from them are pleasant to the touch. Booties knitted from wool mixture will keep the baby well warm.

IMPORTANT : It’s good if the booties do not have seams, so they will not rub the delicate skin of the newborn. If it is necessary to make a seam, then it is done from the outside.

Booties on circular knitting needles
To determine the insole, there is a standard data table for newborns from 0 to 12 months .

7-9 centimeters for babies from 0 to 3 months
9-10 centimeters from 3 to 6 months
11 centimeters from 6 to 8 months
12 centimeters from 8 to 10 months
13-14 centimeters from 10 to 12 months.

Sizes are approximate and may vary for everyone. Therefore, it is better to measure the length and width of the leg with a centimeter tape. You can determine the number of loops required for knitting a particular product by knitting a small piece of fabric for a sample. Then count how many loops there are per 1 centimeter of flap. Most often - about two.

For knitting you will need:

Circular knitting needles No. 2.5
Yarn - 100 grams or 320 meters
A darning needle must have a large eye.

Step-by-step instruction:

The size of the booties is for a 10 month old baby.

We knit booties with teeth on the edges

Even for beginner knitters, knitting booties with small teeth will be a simple option. Select two yarns of contrasting colors to work with and decide which one you will start working with first. Knitting, as always, begins with the sole. Dial thirty-three points. Seventeen of them are central ones that need to be marked. Here is a list of the placement of yarn overs:

1 and 2 r. – only faces will be knitted. P.;
3 r. - edge, then yarn over, further knits. n. to the center. Yarn over in front of the center and after it, then knit. p., and before the edge again yarn over;
4 rub. - these are all persons. P.

Please note that there should be thirty-seven stitches left on the knitting needles. You need to knit eight more strips using a similar pattern. Count the loops again, there should now be forty-five of them. Next we will decorate the booties with cloves. Take a contrasting yarn. From 9 to 12 p.m. knit in stocking stitch. Thirteenth r. start with the edge, then knit 2. p. together, yarn over, two persons. p. together and yarn over again. At 4 p.m. Knit all links inside out. At 15 and 16 p.m. reintroduce stocking stitch.

In the photo you can see what should happen.

Seventeenth r. starts from the edge, and then you need to remove 1 stitch. Using the knitting needle in your right hand, pick up the first light stitch from the wrong side, then throw it over by adding another 1 stitch on the left side. Only the edge should remain on the opposite tool. Carry out such manipulations along the entire length of the product. The master class is not finished yet, but you can see what booties with teeth will look like.

The next rows should be knitted with a 1 by 1 rib. The second line of cloves is knitted according to the same pattern as described earlier. The front part of the baby booties is knitted in the same way as the heel. All 46 points must be divided by three. Leave the side links of 15 pieces aside for now, and divide the middle into three, namely five points each. If you could not understand how to do this, then watch the video tutorial, which is easy to find on the Internet.
