Can I tie practical slippers crochet?

In homes where there are often guests, the question of where to get the required number of slippers periodically comes up. There is a simple way to solve this problem - to tie the slippers crocheted out of yarn. Suit and clothesline.

You can doubt whether the knitted sneakers will be strong enough and worn? To make the product practical, it is sufficient to choose the right material for the job. First of all, it is necessary to take a thick synthetic or mixed yarn of dense torsion. If you have leftover threads, but you are not sure of their quality, add a second thread, cotton or viscose, to the main thread, and crochet the slippers in two strands.

Today we knit the slippers in two ways: from the toe and from the sole.

The first variant of knitting is suitable for beginning needlewomen, it is extremely simple and requires the ability to knit stitches with a crochet. We begin work with a chain of 5-7 loops, closed in a ring. A new row: two lifting loops, then we sew 2 bunches with a crochet from each hinge. The next row: columns with a crochet. We alternate the rows until we get a slipper of the right size, usually 5-6 cm, then we knit in a circle the same number without addition. Sock the sneaker is ready, we turn the work and knit 2/3 of the circumference of the columns with the crochet, unfold the work, we knit a new row. Thus, the required length of the slipper is fastened, after which the seam on the heel joins. The edge of the resulting product can be tied with sticks or "walking step" to preserve its shape and decorate the slippers. When you wear the heel slightly stretched and gently sits on the leg.

The second option, slippers crocheted on the sole, is slightly more complicated and requires certain skills. First we knit the sole: we sew a chain of loops about 15-18 cm long (2/3 of the length of the foot) and knit the ovals with columns, adding at the ends the details of the loop for rounding. The finished sole will be slightly larger than the foot. Next, we make 2 lifting loops and go to the top design of the slipper. Knitting goes around the circle with columns with a crochet, in the front part evenly tapering. To do this, we unfasten the 2 bars and close with one loop. The back part of the sneaker is knit without decreasing, forming a heel.

When the product reaches the desired height, we close the hinges and tie the edge with "walking step". To get slippers with lapels, at an altitude of 10 cm, start knitting the boot with a turn from the center, about 5 cm. Bend the slipper, fix it with thread or decorative buttons.

If you know how to knit a chain and bars, try to tie the flip flops from the old rope without the help of a hook. Tie a loop on the end of the rope and with your fingers draw a loop through it, followed by the next. Soon you will have a chain that is equal to the length of the foot, better slightly longer. Knit the sole as an ordinary canvas, stretching the rope through the loops with your fingers, just do not tighten the loops too much. When the width of the sole is sufficient, you can, without cutting a rope, knit a sneaker sock or just a crossbar, like on slippers. Such slaps can be washed in a typewriter after each reception of guests and stored, suspended by a loop.

Now you know how you can tie crochet or without it, and decorate them depending on your taste and imagination. Successful work!
