How to tie slippers with knitting needles quickly and easily

One of the easiest ways to learn to knit with knitting is knitting small, but necessary trifles. Today we will consider how to tie slippers in two simple ways, available even to beginner needlewomen. For work we need 5 stocking knitting needles and a hose of half-woolen threads. That our sneakers do not rub on the sole, you can add to the main thread the second, cotton or synthetic, and knit yarns in two additions.

So, first we will learn how to tie slippers with knitting needles without doing the heel. This is the simplest option, for which two spokes are enough. We type on the spokes 52-62 loops, depending on the required width of the finished product, and knit the facial loops of 30-35 rows. It turns out a cloth of garter stitch about 15 cm long, after which we change the pattern. We remove the first loop as edge, then we knit 1 purl, (3 facial, 2 purl) x 10 or 12 times, until the sneakers reach the desired size. We make the original rows according to the figure. We remove the loops of the last row on a strong thread, tighten and tie it from the wrong side. We turn the resulting sneakers inside out and sew the heel with a tambour seam and a sock to garter stitch .

Now, when we have learned how to tie slippers, we dial the hinges from the edges with knitting needles and make out the edge. Each of the four spokes has 15-20 loops, we sew them, if desired, with the front or back loops, which, when worn, will wrap in or out of the product and create a rim. You can perform 3 rows of facial, 2 purl, 3 facial, so that the rim was taller, and you get a boot. When closing the last row, do not over tighten the thread so that the edge of the product is soft and elastic.

The second way is a little more complicated. Here we will consider how to tie slippers with knitting needles with the execution of the heel.

We type on 50-60 loops on knitting needles and knit with a rubber band 2x2 the edge of the height that you like, usually 2-3 cm.

Then unfold the work and tie it with the purl 30 pcs. Unfold, the facial 30 pts - and so until the height of the heel reaches 7 cm.

Now you need to form a heel: in the front row we knit 19 loops, 2 together, turn. Invalid - 9 items, 2 together, turn. So we knit the slippers with knitting needles until there are 10 loops left.

Our heel is ready, we make a loop from the edge row, so that the total amount is 50 (60) and evenly distribute them to 4 spokes.

Next we knit the canvas in a circle, the upper part of the sneaker can be made with a small relief pattern or Irish braids according to simple schemes. When the end of the work is about 5 cm, we start to reduce the width. Divide the number of loops in half minus 6, from the outside of the product, we sew 3 p. Together, so that the middle lies on top, then half the volume of the foot and again 3 together.

It is important that the middle of the three loops be upper, to form a clearly delineated edge of the slipper. So we remove the hinges in every second row, evenly narrowing the product.

When all the loops are closed, we cut the thread and stretch it inside out, where we fix it with a few stitches.

Ready-made slippers can be decorated with embroidery, braid or flowers, crocheted.

Now you know how to tie slippers with knitting needles, and you can safely experiment with different yarns and patterns.

Having reached a certain skill, try to make such slippers on the basis of the old sole, tying the loops from the firmware up or round.
