The first shoes of a newborn baby are soft and cozy booties. Of course, they must meet the main requirements: to warm small legs and provide them with comfort, without squeezing with seams, elastic bands, but also without falling off when moving.
Therefore, needlewomen-grandmothers or mothers, who can afford to set aside time for needlework before the birth of a baby, sew soft booties from fleece, knit from soft threads, and there is no limit to this inspiration. Booties are completely unique, because every mother wants to do something special for her child.
The colors of booties in the form of sneakers
One of the most cutting-edge types of booties is booties-sneakers. Their extraordinary look, different from traditional baby booties, immediately creates an atmosphere for little fashionistas. And do not think that booties-sneakers are created exclusively for boys. Combinations of different threads in knitwear, also decorated with beads or bows, also look charming, despite the general sports orientation. After all, infancy is the very time when fashion also exists, but the details that indicate the most tender age in such a creation will not interfere at all.
A newborn girl will certainly get booties of delicate colors - pink, beige, light green, cream, or bright ones - orange, yellow, red, crimson. The boy will traditionally receive more conservative booties as a gift - gray, brown, green, blue, blue. But the craftswomen have long gone beyond the classics, so today's "bootie trend" has as many options as there are talented grandmothers and mothers in the world.
What time of year are booties good for?
Booties come in handy even in the warm season, when on cool evenings the baby goes for a walk in a stroller. If the family has an autumn-winter newborn, then on cold days the legs will need to be warmed even at home, and here knitted booties help out a lot.
The baby's first shoes are knitted, of course, from warm threads that do not contain synthetics, because babies do not walk in booties. The maximum wear that such shoes can receive is when crawling or washing, so synthetic fibers are not needed in knitting, moreover, they have the ability to accumulate an electrostatic charge. On the other hand, woolen fibers, which will optimally warm small legs, are undesirable to be washed frequently, so you should either carefully wear them or use a gentle hand wash, as well as properly dry them - away from electrical appliances and batteries, on an absorbent surface - a terry towel or flannelette diaper, which can then be dried separately.
Natural yarns for knitting baby booties
Booties-sneakers for newborn babies should be knitted from natural threads. These include:
- Cotton (pros - the most natural thread, hypoallergenic, suitable for knitting booties for the summer, cons - shrinks when washed in hot water).
- Flax (pluses - also natural fibers, do not shrink, they do not cause allergic manifestations, suitable for knitting booties for the summer, cons - limited color range of yarn).
- Wool (pluses - very warm, minuses - sits and rolls down in hot water, gets off).
- Merino wool (pluses - soft, created from lamb wool, perfect for products even for newborns, minuses - the same care problems).
- Cashmere (goat) wool (pluses - tender and rolls less, minuses - price, such yarn is expensive).
- Angora (rabbit) wool (pluses - warm, soft, light, fluffy, minuses for small ones - wool fibers can easily get into the eyes and mouth, nose)
- Alpaca (pros - does not fall off, warm, budget option).
- Mohair (pros - despite the thinness of the thread, it is very warm and light, cons - it loses its appearance after washing, the fibers are thin and long, they can irritate the delicate skin of a child). When choosing mohair for booties, make no mistake: there is also a synthetic analogue of mohair, they look similar in appearance, only the shiny gloss on the thread gives out synthetics in the composition.
How to knit booties
Of course, they are thinking about how to knit booties-sneakers, mainly future mothers or recently held ones. Booties knit easily and quickly. Having decided on the yarn, choosing a color scheme, knitting needles or a hook for the thickness of the yarn, you can get to work. Booties-sneakers, the knitting pattern of which is presented below, as a rule, consist of two colors, one of which is traditionally white, but you can deviate from this rule by combining any two colors in the product.
Booties are quickly crocheted according to a simple pattern:
- first you need to tie the base, that is, the sole-insole;
- then raise the sides from it, alternating the selected colors in rows or leaving the entire side white, and making the rest of it different;
- visually dividing a part of the side into two-thirds, raise it, reducing the loops from the sides for several rows;
- knit the shaft to the total height of the product, without reducing the number of loops;
- the upper part must be knitted with white yarn in a semicircle in the same way as the lower part, and then a soft “tongue” should be knitted from it with double crochets.
Having tied all the details together or stitched with the same thread, you need to weave or crochet a lace that will need to be threaded like lacing. It's so easy and quick to knit booties-sneakers for kids starting their life journey. You can decorate such products with separately knitted or embroidered logos of famous brands.
Booties-sneakers: a description for knitting
Booties for babies up to a year old can also be knitted. There are several ways to knit on knitting needles: on five knitting needles (sock knitting), on two knitting needles (classic knitting).
Booties-sneakers with knitting needles on two knitting needles are knitted with one cloth. The colored thread is knitted on white in rows and passes into the main thread through the row. Having tied up before the transition of the horizontal part of the booties to the vertical (shaft), you can do it in two ways.
First way
If you do not interrupt the knitting and knit a single fabric, after removing the finished booties from the loops, all that remains is to sew along the seam at the back. The appearance of a sneaker will be given to her only by separating the sock in white and embroidering by hand imitation of eyelets through which the lacing will pass.
The scheme of such knitting:
- On the needles cast on 41 loops, knit with an elastic band or an English elastic band 1 by 1.
- In the center of 11 loops, knit with a garter stitch for 16 rows, knitting the extreme loops together with each of the side loops on the knitting needles - we form a sock.
- Having aligned the fabric in one common line, we knit one row, leaving openwork holes every two rows symmetrically from the center through three to five loops (three loops, one with a crochet, in the next row three loops along the knitting and a loop with a crochet is knitted into one).
- From the next row to the end (along the height of the top) with an elastic band 1 by 1, the entire booties.
- We remove from the loops, sew and thread the lace through the holes.
Second way
The second way is to divide the canvas in two in the center. The ball is withdrawn to one of the sides and in the same way, holes for the lace are knitted through two loops from the edge in the canvas, for the second side another ball of the same yarn is attached. To make the booties look beautiful and provide comfort to the baby, you should knit a rectangle of “tongue” separately with a garter stitch, which can be knitted right under the beginning of the separation. Such a product is also sewn at the back.
Booties on five knitting needles
Booties-sneakers knitted with knitting needles are knitted in a single fabric in the round. When from the edge the depth of the canvas is equal to the height of the top in front, to the foot, a side with alternating threads is knitted. This is done on an additional pair of knitting needles, in the center of which ¼ knitting is removed. Having knitted the side, you can not break the thread, but leave it for the sole, and knit it with a checkerboard pattern (1 through 1 knit / purl loops, on the reverse knit, the purl is knitted with the front, the front - with the purl) or garter stitch. Knit the upper part of the garter stitch for two thirds of the length of the side, knitting each row of the extreme loop with its edge, and make the last third according to the same white principle.

We knit sneakers for children and newborns with knitting needles: diagram and description
In newborn babies, the mechanism of natural thermoregulation is not well developed, so they are advised to wear warm woolen socks. Instead of boring booties, you can knit fashionable and stylish sneakers. Moreover, they are suitable not only for a boy, but also for a girl, if you choose the right decor and color combination of threads.
Necessary materials:- soft non-spiky wool blend yarn of different colors;
- stocking or circular knitting needles No. 3;
- hook number 3.
Consider knitting booties for newborns. To knit sneakers for older children, you need to increase the width and number of rows in accordance with the required size.
We collect 38 loops with a white working thread and knit the first row with facial loops. In the second row we knit a single crochet, make one yarn over, knit 17 stitches, make another yarn over, 2 stitches, yarn over, 17 stitches, yarn over, stitches. We knit the third, fifth, seventh and ninth rows with facial loops. In the fourth row we knit loops by analogy with the second, but at the beginning and at the end we knit 2 LP instead of one, and in the middle - 4 LP instead of two. In the sixth row at the beginning, middle and end we knit 3 LP, 6 LP and 3 LP, the rest by analogy with the second row. In the eighth row at the beginning, middle and end we knit 4 sts, 8 sts and 4 sts, the rest by analogy with the second row. On the needles, a total of 54 loops are obtained. We knit rows 10 and 12 with purl loops, 11 and 13 with facial loops.
Up to 23 rows we knit with facial loops, and in the 18th and 19th rows we switch to an orange thread, then again we return to a white thread.
We start knitting the front of the booties. We knit half of the loops with facial loops and put a mark with a red thread. Add two loops in the middle and turn the knitted fabric over. We remove one loop, knit 4 LP, turn the work over again. In this way, we continue to knit until 12 loops are obtained on the knitting needles. A triangular protrusion should form on the knitting needles, as in the photo - the front of future sneakers.
We close the loops and tie the tongue with white threads. We knit four rows on the sides with a blue thread, then we begin to make decreases in each row, knitting two loops at the beginning and at the end of the row. Having reached the height of the tongue, we break the thread.
We tie the side parts of the sneaker with a white thread, fill in all the protruding threads. In the same way we knit the second bootie. From threads of red color we crochet long chains of air loops. We insert the resulting laces into sneakers and tie on a bow.
Let's try to make a model of sports shoes for adults with our own hands
Slippers in the form of knitted sports shoes are a great option for both men and women. In the first case, you should choose gray, blue or black yarn, and in the second, use brighter colors and do not neglect additional decor. The following is a detailed description of the process of making cozy indoor shoes in a sporty style.
- blue, white and black yarn;
- knitting needles No. 3 and 3.5;
- hook number 3.
We start knitting with a cuff. To do this, we collect 48 loops on the knitting needles No. 3 and close them in a ring. We knit with an elastic band 1 * 1 until the required length is reached. To knit the heel, we move all the loops from the first knitting needle to the fourth and knit only on them. We turn the work and knit 24 rows with the front stitch, then proceed to decrease. In each row we knit up to 7 loops on the left, knit 2 loops together and turn the work. We continue to knit in this way until 12 loops remain on the needles.
We knit another row, then with a free knitting needle we lift 13 loops along the heel and knit them behind the back wall. We continue to knit with an elastic band on 2 and 3 needles, knitting the extreme loops together with one of the raised loops along the heel until they run out. The remaining 12 heel loops are divided in half into 1 and 4 knitting needles. We continue knitting to the toe. To form it, we make decreases in every second circular row. When there are 2 loops left on each needle, break off and tighten the working thread.
Let's get to the straps for the laces. To do this, on both sides of the sock, we symmetrically raise every second loop on the knitting needle along the edge of the beginning of the gum to the toe. We knit 4 rows with front stitch, then we form holes for the laces with the help of crochets.
From white threads, we crochet two laces from air loops about 140 cm long. On the back of the toe of future sneakers and along the slats, with the help of a hook, we lay decorative paths with white threads.
We knit the sole with knitting needles, as in the photo below. To do this, we collect 8 loops on knitting needles No. 3.5 and knit 93 rows with stocking knitting, making decreases and increases to form the part of the desired shape.
Then we knit the sides of the sole with white threads, lifting the required number of loops on needles No. 3 along the perimeter of the workpiece. After reaching the required height, close the loops with black threads. We form the white tip of the sneaker, as in the photo.
We thread the laces into the holes, tie them into a bow. We tie all the edges with a crochet to give the product additional rigidity. We lay decorative black stripes along the sole. If desired, we crochet and sew emblems with a star or decorate shoes at our discretion. Keds are ready!
