Slippers
Indoor slippers on the modern market are found in a wide variety of variations. Classic, flip-flops, chuni, zakopanki and moccasins can be found in any color and any texture. But the slippers from the “hand made” category have gained the most popularity recently, and they are more like socks with thick soles.
These slippers look quite unusual, because they have a lot in common with classic short socks, which we used to call traces. Needlewomen create such slippers from a wide variety of yarns, including wool, acrylic and cotton.
The main advantage of such shoes is that they are original and even exclusive, because they have to be created manually, showing maximum imagination. The warming and performance characteristics of such shoes completely depend on the yarn that will be chosen by the needlewoman and on the characteristics of the knitting itself.
How to create knitted slippers - right footprints
In order for knitted slippers to please you with their appearance and comfort, it is necessary to correctly determine the size of the future product, as well as choose the appropriate threads and knitting needles. This is quite simple to do, given the following nuances:
- A sheet of paper will help determine the size of your foot, on which the outline of your foot will be circled.The resulting footprint will simply need to be measured in a centimeter along the length, given that 23 cm correspond to a size 36, 24 cm to a size 37-38, and 25 cm to a size 40.
- Yarn for knitting is better to take soft, but dense, because it lasts longer. Warm slippers can be knitted from pure wool, and demi-season slippers from acrylic. To create miniature slippers, it is better to take specialized children's yarn, since it is hypoallergenic.
- It is better to take knitting needles, focusing on the pattern and texture of the future product. If you want to get tight slippers - traces, then you need to take thin knitting needles, and if airy and openwork, then thick ones.
There should be no problems with the knitting technique. Now on sites on the Internet you can find a wide variety of patterns with photographs, and beginners can learn to knit absolutely any pattern by training on training videos. What models of slippers are popular today?
