Knitting Traces

When winter comes, I want to dress warmer and especially keep my feet warm. In the house you can walk in the tracks. They gently wrap their feet around, allowing the leg to feel warm and free, because they do not tighten and do not constrain the leg. Knitting the tracks is not at all difficult. And if you learn this, your loved ones will always be warm and will not catch cold. Footprints are a wonderful gift for loved ones. Everything that is done with love, not only warms the body, but also the heart. In order to make such a nice gift, you do not need to spend a lot of money, but this gift will be much more personal and memorable.

In addition, you do not need to be a very big specialist for this, you just need to want and try. Knitting crochet hooks is much easier than with knitting needles, especially if these are the first steps on your, I hope, long hobby needlework. To learn good skills and hardness of your hand, it's better to start with small things. They can be completed sooner and rejoice at their achievements. And for such small things you can use threads from old knitted products, which must be disbanded. If you start knitting the tracks from old threads, then I advise the thing to be disbanded beforehand, and the threads to stretch and dry, and then start knitting, if the thread is not erased, then the knitted fabric will not lay down nicely and smoothly.

So, let's get ready for knitting. First of all, you need to choose what thickness of the hook to choose. Its diameter should be three times that of a thread. This is the usual rule. But if you want the binding to be more dense, then my advice is to take the thickness of the hook more than twice.

Crochet, we begin to trace with fingers. We knit according to the description below.

On the hook we wind a few circles of thread and into the received ring we connect eight columns without a crochet, we finish a circle, fixing the last and first columns.

We turn the work, we tie three loops of the chain to raise the row and now we knit the columns with the crochet. In the first loop of the chain of the lower row we embed a column with a crochet, and in the second two columns with a crochet. Then repeat to the end of the series. We again fasten the first and last columns.

Turn, dial three chain loops for lifting. We had twelve posts in the second row. We continue the expansion. In the first loop of the chain - one column with a crochet, in the second - two bars and continue. In total, there are eighteen columns with a crochet. At the end of the series fastening.

We turn again, we sew three chains of a chain. In this row we make increments in the first loop of the chain, we embed two bars, the next two loops into each one in a column, the fourth loop - we embed two bars, the fifth loop - one column, and further to the end. In this row, seven columns should be added. Twenty five columns are obtained.

Next, we continue knitting the tracks, adding six bars in each successive row, distributing these increments evenly around the circle. The number of rows in which the extension should be made depends on the size of the foot. The larger the size, the more it is necessary to tie the rows, with the addition. In addition, depends on the thickness of the thread, the thicker the thread, the higher the binding bars and the faster the knitting.

The width of the circle should correspond to the width of the leg. In the process of knitting we have a "bucket". When we have expanded to the required girth of the leg, we tie without widening two or three rows. Count the number of columns. We divide into three parts. We continue to knit only two thirds of the bars. We knit length to the heel. Fold the canvas in half and carefully tie the columns without a crochet, joining halves. This completes the knitting of the tracks. Now you need to do it again, and you will get a pair of warm and cozy footprints.
