You can always make a model that will sit perfectly on the foot and provide comfort, warmth and comfort. And a wide range of models will allow you to choose what will have the most to your liking.
Types of knitted slippers
Knitting homemade slippers - it's easy when the model is chosen beforehand and the appropriate materials and tools are selected to it. But before you get to work, you will have to familiarize yourself with the entire range, which is represented by the following basic models:
- Children's - most often accompanied by a soft rubber band on top for a secure fixation on the leg. Equipped with fun motifs in the form of animals or flowers.
- Women's - can have a rigid sole or performed in the form of socks with different height of the upper part. Depending on the presence of the heel, they are divided into flip-flops and ballet slippers.
- Men's slippers are most often represented by models with a rigid sole. They can have a heel or be without it.
- Seamless are suitable for those who are annoyed by the scars on the inside of the products.
- Japanese, which are fixed with special laces.
In addition, slippers can be knitted with spokes or crochets. Although it may seem insignificant to many, the different methods of knitting have features that are evident in the finished product.
Crochet slippers gives more rigidity to the fabric, due to which the model is easy to put on, as it retains its shape.
Yarn for slippers
As for the yarns that can be used, it is best to take:
- For winter models - wool in combination with synthetic. Choose the necessary soft yarn, as wool tends to prick. Pure synthetics can stretch in the process of wearing - it is undesirable to take such a yarn. Pure wool, on the contrary, can pile up and the item will be a smaller size than you need.
- Cotton and linen are good for summer models. It is better to crochet slippers.
Crochet needles
Selecting knitting needles, you should pay attention to:
- Circular, connected by fishing line. The length of the fishing line should be long enough to be able to place the entire model on it.
- You can also stock up on ordinary metal spokes, which are not connected by a fishing line. They are taken, depending on the model 2, 4 or 6 pieces. The principle of knitting with circular or ordinary needles is identical.
- Hook - here there are no specific recommendations. It can be plastic or metal.
With any knitting tool, it is necessary to choose the right size, which depends on the thickness of the yarn. The skein of yarn has the number of needles and hook desired for knitting.
But, you should consider a subtle point - if you want to get a dense cloth, which will turn out a model that holds its shape well, you should take a hook or needles one size smaller than indicated on the skein of yarn.
Additional tools
For additional tools, you can take another set of knitting needles, preferably on a fishing line, on which all the loops of the heel or another element to be knitted will be lowered if necessary.
Experienced masters can use a thread of a contrasting color. But for beginners it is still more convenient to use a needle.
Color and decor of slippers
The color combinations used, as well as the decor, depend on individual preferences and who the slippers are intended for. Here are the most attractive combinations:
- For women, light-colored, linen-colored slippers. Dark ones look just as attractive, but they are more practical, especially if there are animals and small children in the house.
- Bright, combining a variety of colors of the rainbow slippers are suitable for children and adolescent girls.
- For men, it is best to choose dark colors of yarn, which will not only not be brands, but the product from such threads will last longer.
As for the pattern, it can be done in 2 ways:
- Of different colors. Suitable as a joke option or for teenagers and children. Although, if a calmer color scheme is combined, you can create an elegant model for adult women as well.
- If you knit braids, weave, complement them with another affectation - it will be possible to create a pattern on a monochrome model. In this case the ornament will be expressed due to the structure of the fabric.
