The ball and knitting needles are unique instruments that can be used to execute any, even the most sophisticated idea. But it’s still better to start with simple things that are necessary, convenient and easy to do. This category includes knee socks, socks, ankle socks, etc. There are a great many models and techniques for knitting these accessories, but we’ll talk about how to knit simple heels on two knitting needles for beginners.

Choosing tools and materials

Since tracks are usually knitted for warmth and comfort, when choosing yarn, you should proceed from these criteria. The thread should be thick enough, spun from natural fibers, not coarse or prickly. The line of special sock yarns today has a very wide range of threads. Manufacturers, in pursuit of longer service life for socks, add 25-30% durable artificial fibers, such as polyamide, to wool yarn. These varieties of yarn are truly the most suitable for making knitted fabrics: they are durable, warm and soft, satisfying even the most demanding consumers.

However, any other yarn is suitable - wool or wool blend with the addition of high-volume acrylic, which makes the thread more elastic. Products made from mixed yarn with the addition of stretch fibers are excellent to wear: such footwear do not stretch, fit snugly on the foot, are comfortable and convenient.

The thickness of the thread varies from 200 to 300 meters in a standard 100-gram factory skein. This is the most comfortable thickness for a beginning knitter. Subsequently, with the development of knitting skills, the master freely operates with yarn of any thickness, but it is advisable to begin the path to the heights of mastery by using the thread of the most convenient thickness for the knitting process.

The knitting needles for making the splices are chosen to be circular on a short fishing line (40-60 cm), or a pair of stocking needles size No. 2 - 2.5. The fabric for such products must be quite dense, so large knitting needle sizes are used only if the yarn is thicker (more than 95-100 m / 100 g).

Let's start with the simplest example of making cozy footwear, which is quite suitable for the role of house slippers. For a product of size 36-37 you will need 90-100 g. yarn (250 gr. / 100 m), knitting needles No. 2.5. Density - 10 cm 20 loops.

The model is made in one piece and then stitched together.

Start knitting into the soles.

We cast on 46 loops.

1st row: all stitches. knit, at the beginning and end of knitting, add 1 stitch; should be 48 stitches.

2nd row: knit.

According to this principle, knit up to the 16th row; there should be 62 stitches on the knitting needles.

Decrements begin from the 17th row. Just like increases, they are made at the end and beginning of the row. All even rows are knitted without decreases. Thus, repeating the algorithm, knit from the 17th to the 32nd row. The original number of loops remains on the knitting needles - 46. The result is the sole of the track. Next is the top of the product.

Having completed the 32nd row, cast on 8 loops to form the heel and 54 loops on the knitting needle.

Row 33: knit all.

34th row: knit, at the end 1 increase (for the toe).

This is how they knit until the 48th row, in which, as the toe is formed, 62 loops are obtained.

Row 49: cast off 44 stitches, knit the remaining 18.

Row 50: Purl 18.

From the 51st to the 56th rows the work is repeated, i.e. knitted with stockinette stitch. This is the center of the future investigation. It remains to connect the second sidewall, made in a mirror image, with the first.

Row 57: K18, cast on 44 stitches.

58th row: all knits, the last and penultimate loops are knitted together.

59th - all persons.

This is how rows 60 to 73 are performed. This is where the work ends, all the loops of the last 74th row are closed, trying not to tighten and leaving a long enough thread for subsequent stitching of the trace along the resulting relief lines. This pattern of footwear on two knitting needles is the simplest version, but despite its simplicity, the product turns out to be very impressive, and the footwear, decorated with knitted flowers, goes into the category of slippers.

Video example of tracks on two knitting needles

Another model of tracks, performed simply, is presented to the attention of readers. These tracks can be either two-color or single-color. Here, the technique of making short rows is used, due to which the necessary plasticity of the fabric is achieved. Yarn (200 m / 100 g) and knitting needles No. 3 are used.

Density - 10 cm 20 pets.

The peculiarity of performing shortened rows is that you do not knit all the loops in one row, but only the required number. In this way, expansion of one edge is achieved. Technically, it looks like this: having knitted the required number of loops, remove one without knitting, throw an inverted yarn over it and return the loop to the knitting needle, thus securing the thread in the middle of the row. Then the knitting is turned and knitted further. In this case, there will be no holes left in the knitted fabric. The presented model features vertical knitting.

The work is done like this:

Cast on 18 stitches. colors A

1st row (A): all persons.

2nd row (color B): knit 13, turn (Ո);

3rd row (B): 13 persons.

4th-5th rows (A): all persons;

Row 6 (B): K7. Ո;

7th row (B): K7.

Color A is used to knit full rows, and color B is used to knit short rows, alternating them. A similar sequence (16-13-16-7) is repeated until the required size, which can be measured by placing the workpiece against the leg.

Having knitted the fabric to the required length, the row is closed, leaving a long “tail” for sewing along the sole and heel. There is only one seam, it is practically invisible, since garter stitch creates a certain relief. In this simple and very original way, spectacular and beautiful heels are knitted on two knitting needles. The products described are extremely simple to make, but many beginning knitters do not like to sew knitted patterns. There are many ideas on how to make tracks completely without a seam.

Let's start with a description of the process to understand the sequence of stages of work. The execution of many models is subject to the rule: knitting begins with the edging of the top of the product, then the heel is formed, the sole is made with the side parts of the foot, and the work is completed by making the top from the toe, gradually “tying” a relief (or straight) strip to the sides of the foot by the edge loops, getting a kind of seam. Let's look at the following model, which will require thicker yarn (150 m / 100 g) and knitting needles No. 3. Stocking knitting density - 10 cm / 18 loops / 2.2 rows. Size 37-38.

30 stitches are cast on the knitting needles (including the edge stitches) and 10 rows are knitted using garter stitch. From the 11th row they begin to knit the heel part: they switch to stockinette stitch - from the face they knit with knit stitches, from the inside - with purl stitches, and knit 18 rows in this way. This is the heel height. Then they begin to form it. It will be performed on 8 central loops like this:

Having knitted 19 loops, the next two are knitted together, the work is turned inside out;

Knit 8 purl stitches, knit the next two together, and turn the work again.

Repeat the turns, knitting 8 central loops and forming a heel by closing the side loops. They knit this way until there are only 10 stitches left on the needle - 2 edge stitches and 8 heel stitches.

Then, continuing the work, pick up 10 loops on each side from the formed braid along the side edge, i.e. return to the original number of loops. On the resulting 30 loops in stocking stitch, 24 rows of the sole and sides of the heel are made. Then they begin to form the toe, gradually reducing the number of loops along the edge and in the middle of the working fabric in the front rows in this order:

1 edge, 1 knit together, middle (14th and 15th) loops are knitted together and 2 loops in front of the edge are also knitted together.

Continue knitting in this way until there are 10 stitches left on the knitting needles. This is the top of the toe. Now you need to turn the work over so that you start making a track on 10 loops, grabbing the edge loop from the side with each last loop of the row and knitting them together. In this way, the top of the product is covered, while decorating it at the same time. The resulting central track can be made in any acceptable pattern - satin stitch, garter stitch, medium-sized braids, openwork tracks. For example, 2 braids of 4 loops directed from the center look impressive and festive. Knit such a track like this:

1st row: 1 edge, 2 knits. leave to work, knit 2 knits, then knit the loops left on the additional knitting needle, 2 loops are removed on the additional knitting needle. The knitting needle is left in front of the fabric, knit 2, 2 from the auxiliary knitting needle, 1 edge from the side edge are knitted together.

The 2nd-4th rows are knitted according to the pattern, from the 5th row the pattern is repeated. The result is a connecting track. Other designs are no less interesting: French or Polish gum, rice, corn, etc.

At the junction of the track with the side parts of the footprint, a neat relief seam is formed in a herringbone pattern. Having tied to the top, the row is closed. The tracks on two knitting needles with a pattern and without a single seam are ready.

Video example of traces without a seam

Of course, the most enjoyable job is doing footprints for a child. They are more often called booties, and knitting them on 2 knitting needles is also quite simple.

A line of children's yarn has been developed for babies - comfortable, cozy, non-irritating. Therefore, when knitting items for children, it is better to use children’s yarn. The presented model is made of wool mixture (200 m/100 g) with knitting needles No. 2.5.

Work starts from the top of the bootie. Cast on 41 stitches on needles. and knit 10 cm in garter stitch. Then an openwork insert is made in order to subsequently thread the ribbon or lace:

1st row: all persons.

2nd row purl.

3rd row: openwork * 2 stitches together, 1 yarn over *.

4th row: purl.

The toe is formed on 11 central loops:

Having knitted 36 loops, turn the work and knit 11 loops in garter stitch. Then turn the fabric again and continue knitting 11 center loops. Perform 20 rows.

Knit 12 rows in garter stitch.

And the last stage of work: making the sole.

26 loops should be set aside on both sides, leaving 11 central ones. In each row, knit 10 loops, and the last one - together with a loop from the set aside (26) on both sides. Knit in a similar way until the number of stitches on each side is reduced to 6. Then all the loops are closed and the heel and top of the bootie are seamed. For the lapel, the seam is transferred to the front side of the fabric to hide it. A ribbon or cord for ties is threaded through the holes of the openwork insert.

All models of footprints presented in the publication are not only quite acceptable for beginning needlewomen, but also very visually impressive and comfortable to use.

In today's article we will discuss knitting footwear. Diagrams and descriptions help, loop by loop, to create warm indoor shoes that will be an excellent alternative to socks. Sleds can be knitted in various ways: in the round, on stocking needles or straight fabric. Experienced craftswomen are sophisticated when knitting jacquard patterns. Give such gifts to your household.

Knitting patterns: diagrams with descriptions, unusual methods

House slippers, knitted in the form of footprints, will appeal to all household members. Your feet will always be warm and comfortable. Needlewomen master knitting footwear in different ways. Beginning craftswomen complain that it is difficult to knit slips on five knitting needles. We offer you an interesting option - knitting rectangular slippers.

Advice! Slippers knitted with melange yarn will look original. You can make a crocheted frill as a decoration.

Necessary materials:

  • melange yarn – 1 skein;
  • knitting needles of the appropriate size.

Step-by-step description of the process:


We knit seamless warm footwear

Knitting footwear and slippers is a fascinating activity. You can make exclusive house shoes with your own hands. Choose yarn consisting of wool and nylon or acrylic thread. And to prevent the sole from rubbing, you can make it suede or felt.

We continue to master knitting tracks with knitting needles. The patterns and descriptions differ not only in the models, but also in the complexity of the knitting technique. Most often, needlewomen choose to knit footwear in the round. Using a set of double needles, you can make this project seamless.

Necessary materials:

  • yarn – 100 g;
  • knitting needles size 3.5 - 5 pieces.

Step-by-step description of the process:

  1. First you need to learn how to knit in the round. In fact, there is nothing complicated about this, the main thing is to take your time so as not to get confused in the circular rows.
  2. We cast on 5 stitches on the knitting needles using the classic method.
  3. We start by knitting the front side of the product. Remove the edge loop without knitting, then knit one knit stitch, yarn over and knit another stitch. Mark this loop with a thread of a contrasting color to indicate the center.
  4. We knit another yarn over, a knit stitch and a second edge loop. As a result, there were seven loops on the knitting needles.
  5. The next row is a pair, so we knit it completely with purl loops.
  6. Please note that we do not knit the loop that we marked with thread, but remove it to another knitting needle.
  7. In the next row after the edge stitch, knit two knit stitches, yarn over, knit the center stitch, yarn over again and knit two knit stitches before the edge stitch. It turns out there are already 9 loops on the knitting needles.
  8. We also knit the next even row purlwise.
  9. In the fifth row after the edge we knit three knit stitches, yarn over and knit the marked central loop, yarn over again, knit three knit stitches and an edge stitch. It turns out there are already 11 loops on the knitting needles.
  10. On both sides of the marked loop in the center. It turns out there are already 11 loops on the knitting needles. Please note that on the left side we yarn over, holding the working thread in front of the knitting needles, and on the right side - behind the work.
  11. We continue knitting according to the same pattern so that after increasing the knitting needles we get 41 loops. At this stage, we distribute all the loops on three knitting needles.
  12. We begin to knit the bottom of the trail. First, we distribute the loops on three knitting needles. It will not be possible to divide this number of loops equally, so we distribute it in the following ratio: 15-11-15.
  13. Next we will knit all the stitches with knit stitches.
  14. We knit 15 knit stitches and move to the second knitting needle. We knit 10 knit stitches and two knit stitches at the same time. We unfold the product.
  15. In the next row we knit 10 loops, we knit two loops at the same time. Turn the product over.
  16. Next, we continue knitting by analogy with the heel. Be sure to pick up the loops from the marked loop in the center on both sides along the edges at the end of each row. After this, we are left with 11 loops in the central part of the work.
  17. Cast on 15 stitches from the side stitches onto the free knitting needle. We knit 9 purl and 5 knit stitches in the first row, knit the edge loop with a purl loop.

  18. Now we knit 11 loops from part of the sole. We put another free knitting needle into work. We also cast on 15 stitches from the side.
  19. We knit 11 loops from the sole, then knit 5 loops from the side with knit stitches, knit nine purl loops and an edge stitch.
  20. In the next row we knit all the loops according to the pattern.
  21. Carefully try on the knitted part of the product on the leg. This is necessary in order to determine the length of the trail. We continue to knit the trace in a circle to the required length. Let's start knitting the heel part.
  22. We perform the heel in the same way as the toe. In each row we will knit the entire central loops, there are 11 of them.
  23. When we knit the last loop in the central part, we pick up the loop on the side.
  24. To ensure that the heel fits well to the leg and does not subsequently slip, we will make two decreases and knit two stitches at the same time.
  25. Having knitted the trail to the end, we close the remaining loops in the usual way.

Although house slippers are very beautiful, it can be very cold, then footprints will come to the rescue. They are soft and comfortable for your feet. To make them yourself, you need either two knitting needles or you can take stocking needles. The main thing is to have at least the slightest idea about knitting for beginners. Adult footprints are made, as well as children's ones.

Methods for knitting footwear

The methods of marking can be different - with or without a seam. If you wish, you can make them single-colored or multi-colored, and also decorate them with various decorations. There are several ways to knit yourself, which we will consider below.

Footprints knitted with two knitting needles

  1. Of course, you need to first measure your foot. The size of the loops depends on this, but it should be odd.
  2. If we knit for an adult, then what number will be in the range from 40 to 60. First we make the top, and then the sides.
  3. To create the top of the slippers, use any dense knitting or 1 by 1 size. the footprint should not fall off the foot.
  4. We knit footwear, independently determining whether we have a lapel or not. In the case of the first option, there will be 20 rows. If not, there will be 10.
  5. Next, we divide our side into two parts. In the middle, add one loop and knit the top of the toe in garter stitch. To do this, we make the first half, then yarn over and knit the middle loop. Then yarn over again. We knit the second part.
  6. Thus, we make the canvas with our own hands to the depth that is necessary.

Now we are making the soles for the slippers. At the same time, we knit it with garter stitch, because it is dense and not stiff, and for the sole of our footprint this is very important.

  • We need to divide our canvas into 3 parts.
  • In this case, the middle part is equal to 11 loops.
  • We knit the row like this: first we knit to the middle, we knit 10 loops, the 11th together with the next part. A photo can help you if you are confused.

Sled knitting pattern

  • Then our knitting should be unfolded and 11 loops should be knitted again - as indicated above.
  • We knit until there is as much left as we need for our sole.
  • The back part is created. For this we use the remaining loops - we knit them with 1 side loop: first on one side, and then on the other.
  • We hope that our master class helped you make your first footprint.

  1. We start knitting again from the toe. We cast on 12 stitches and transfer them to stocking needles.
  2. We knit the front stitch. We add one loop in the first row, pulling it out of the loops in the following order: 1 and 3 knitting needles - the beginning of the row, 2 and 4 knitting needles - the end of the row.
  3. We add in such a way that in the end there are 14 loops on each knitting needle.
  4. By creating 24 rows.
  5. We perform the following steps step by step: remove 10 middle loops onto a separate knitting needle, knit the remaining ones, gradually transferring them to one needle.
  6. Subsequently, we will only need two knitting needles.
  7. Next we knit the sole 40 rows.
  8. Let's start with the heel. Divide the loops into three parts, with the middle one containing 10 loops. We knit the heel to the height required, connecting it gradually with the loops of the sides, and the last loop of the middle part is knitted together with the side loop (the very first).

Stages of knitting leopards

If you are making crafts for the first time and don’t know how to knit slippers on stocking needles, then you can watch additional articles or videos. The next stage is elastic on double needles along the side edges. We cast on 20 loops. And again we distribute it onto 4 knitting needles. In total, there should be 60 loops. We knit in a circle using an elastic band with a size of 1 by 1. We knit 6 rows in this way and finally close the loops. That's it, the trace is ready.

Sledok knitted with 4 knitting needles

Now you can make a second one.

It is better to follow additional recommendations and tips if a person is going to knit footwear or just slippers for the first time: look through the patterns and choose the right one. The yarn should be dense, but not stiff, because the shape of the object must be maintained, and of course comfort is needed, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.

It is also suggested to create a strap and sew it on the side, or make a clasp. This way the footprint for beginners will look like a shoe and won’t slip off. To make the product warm and massage, the sole is knitted with a relief pattern.

Please understand that the edge may stretch. To prevent this from happening, we crochet it - single crochet 1 row. No more is needed, otherwise the footprint will become larger in height.

To ensure that our beautiful and comfortable slippers last a long time and your feet don’t get cold, the soles are knitted with double-fold thread.

As soon as you understand how to knit slippers, learn the basic rules a little, add some imagination, you will be able to create such wonderful slippers for all your loved ones.

Description.

Cast on 5 loops and knit in garter stitch, making additions at the beginning and end of the row (throughout the row). You need to add 10 loops from two, you should get 25 loops on the knitting needles. Then we knit as follows: remove 1 loop without knitting, knit 1,* from one loop knit 2 p., from one loop knit 2 knits.*, finish row 1 knit., 1 p.
Remove 1 without knitting, knit all the following loops according to the pattern: k2, p2. etc.

You need to knit about 30 rows with an elastic band, then we knit two loops together where we added them, knit-knit, purl-purl. Now we switch to garter stitch, making decreases at the end and beginning of the row (every other row) until there are 5 loops left on the knitting needles. All that remains is to knit the strap of the required length, do not forget to make a hole for the button, knit 2 together and make a yarn over, this will be a loop. The final stage is to sew the slippers: fold the knitted fabric in two and sew up the heel and toe of the slipper, the areas knitted with an elastic band. Sew on a beautiful button, the slippers are ready

Footprints on two knitting needles, knitted with your own hands, are an opportunity for beginning needlewomen to learn the basics of the craft - to quickly learn general knitting techniques.

Knitted slippers are a practical and functional wardrobe item; they can be used as regular slippers or slippers. They are knitted quickly even by a novice craftswoman, and absolutely any thread is suitable for making.

Footprints are knitted in different ways:

  • any knitting needles (on 2 and 5 knitting needles, circular knitting needles and crochet);
  • from any type of yarn;
  • in various techniques (with a seam, without a seam, satin stitch or openwork).

The peculiarity of these socks is the simplicity and speed of their implementation, the ability to choose the appropriate knitting and finishing method, the use of waste colored yarn and a minimum of tools.

Advice! Knitting leopards is a great way for beginning knitters to learn the craft. To begin with, it is recommended to knit the tracks in the simplest ways, without sewing seams, using regular knitted stitch.

Tools and materials

The minimum set of starting material and tools consists of yarn or a set of multi-colored threads, knitting needles or a hook, scissors, a ruler, a marker and a needle for sewing parts of the trace.

It should be noted that the choice of knitting tool depends on the preferences of the craftswoman herself. Some needlewomen prefer to crochet, while others find it easier to master knitting.

Types and sizes of knitting needles for making knitted soles:

Type of spokes Size Material

Diameter from 3.5 to 12.0 mm. Knitting needle length 15.0 cm, fishing line length from 25.0 cm. Metal, aluminum, plastic, wood, bamboo, brass.

  • Row 85 – 4 knit stitches, 3 knit stitches, 3 knit stitches and 1 edge braid loop.
  • Row 86 is knitted in the same way as row 84.
  • Row 87 is the same as row 85.

With a beautiful pattern

Traces on two knitting needles for beginners can be made more interesting if you use openwork, jacquard or relief patterns. Sleds with different forms of “braiding” braids or several braids and flagella woven into one pattern look very beautiful. The description below presents one of the design options for the upper part of the footprint with the “Spike” pattern.

To work you should prepare:

  • 250 g of any yarn (preferably not very thin);
  • marker pin;
  • ruler, scissors.

The sequence of knitting footwear with a pattern:

  • Cast on 24 stitches and knit 6 vertical rows (1.5 cm) with 1x1 rib.
  • Knit a heel 6.0 cm high – 21 rows using stockinette stitch.
  • From the 22nd row you need to start designing the heel cup. To do this, you need to divide the fabric into 3 equal parts (you get 8 loops each).
  • Next knit like this: 8 p. p. (side), 7 p. p. (center), knit 8 loops of the side part together with the loop of the side part 1 purl loop. Turn the knitting over.
  • Remove 1 edge stitch without knitting, knit 6. p. (center), knit the 8th loop of the central part with the loop of the side part of the 1st person. n. (tilt to the left). Turn the knitting over.

Knitting pattern for the “Spike” pattern:

  • Remove 1 edge stitch without knitting, purl 6. p. (center), knit 8 loops of the central part with a loop of the side part 1 purl. n. Next, knit the heel according to the same pattern until 8 loops remain in the central part.
  • Then from the edge braid of the heel you need to pull out 11 loops on both sides, on the wrong side - purl, on the front side - knit.
  • At this stage you should start decreasing the stitches on the heel. This must be done at the end of each row, knitting the last 2 knits on the front side. p. 1 with a front loop (tilt to the right), on the wrong side - 2 purl. p. 1 purl. Continue knitting according to this pattern until the initial number of loops (24 loops) remains on the knitting needle.
  • Knit the next 40 rows in stockinette stitch without increasing or decreasing.
  • When knitting a toe, you need to decrease the loops before the edge loop in each row (8 loops should remain on the knitting needle), and then add them again, pulling them out of the edge braid. The toe of the heel is knitted in the same way as the heel, only after adding 1 edge loop should be knitted. You need to add loops on the toe until there are 16 loops on the knitting needle.
  • The upper part of the track is knitted according to the pattern below. Purl loops are added to both sides of the edge braid pattern. The increase must be done until 24 original loops appear on the knitting needle.

  • Next, you should knit the upper part of the trace with the pattern according to the pattern, pulling out loops from the edge braid on each side. To keep the number of loops the same, you need to reduce them at the end of the row. To do this, knit 2 purls from the wrong side at the end of the row. p. in 1 purl, and from the front 2 knits. p. in 1 front.
  • Continue knitting according to the same pattern until the upper part of the trace reaches the top of the elastic in the heel area. Next, the loops need to be closed, knit stitches with knit stitches, and purl stitches with purl stitches. Then tack and trim the thread.

Women's tracks on two knitting needles

The version of women's leotards presented below is extremely simple to knit. To make such tracks, you don’t need a complex scheme for removing and adding loops - it’s just a solid knitted fabric with a simple pattern of two contrasting threads. The layout of the heel is a large semicircle of transverse shortened rows, knitted in garter stitch.

For knitting you need to prepare:

  • 2 skeins of threads of different colors (≈250 g);
  • 2 straight knitting needles without stoppers, size No. 3, 3.5;
  • marker pin;
  • ruler, stitching needle, scissors.

Knitting is done in this way:

  • Cast on 25 stitches on the needles.
  • 1st, 2nd row knit 25 stitches with black thread.
  • 3 r. – 20 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 4th row.
  • 5, 6 r. – black thread 25 p.
  • 7 rub. – 15 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 8th row.
  • 9, 10 rub. – black thread 25 p.

  • 11 rub. – 10 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 12th row.
  • 13, 14 r. – black thread 25 p.
  • 15 rub. – 15 p. with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 16th p.
  • 17, 18 r. – black thread 25 p.
  • 19 rub. – 20 p. with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 20th p.
  • Next, the knitting pattern should be repeated from row 5 until the desired volume of the footprint on the instep of the foot (inner semicircle).
  • Fold the finished track in half, find the middle of the outer semicircle and mark it with a marker. From this place, sew both halves of the heel and the heel with a knitted seam.

It will be very nice if at the end of long contrasting rows you attach small, simple flowers of the same color, perhaps one or two rows later.

In order for the tracks to look more impressive, the color contrast should be bright, with a classic combination of shades.

Men's

The peculiarity of the manufacture of men's slippers is only their size and some restraint in color. The methods of knitting leopards for men remain the same - with or without a seam, knitted or crocheted, with a pattern or simple satin stitch.

Footprints on two knitting needles for beginning craftswomen, presented below, can easily be called a ceremonial weekend, they look so original and unusual on a man’s leg.

To create male tracks you will need:

  • yarn of two colors (≈250-300 g);
  • straight knitting needles without stoppers, size No. 3, 3.5;
  • hook, size No. 3;
  • marker pin, ruler, scissors.

Work progress, step-by-step instructions:

  • Cast on 8 stitches and knit 16 rows in garter stitch. The result should be a square 6x6 cm.
  • After this, you need to cast on 19 stitches on the knitting needle and knit another 16 rows with garter stitch.
  • Cast on 9 stitches on the left, and cast on 9 stitches on the right (see diagram above).
  • Then knit another 16 rows in garter stitch. The result should be a detailed track layout (see diagram above, left).
  • Next, the workpiece needs to be folded correctly and crocheted. To do this, bend the left square upward and connect the edges with a crochet hook and single crochet stitches using the crab step technique.

  • In the same way, you need to bend the upper right square and continue crocheting.
  • To decorate the heel, you need to fold the bottom square of the layout, crochet the parts, make a tack and cut the working thread. The end result should be such a beautiful trail (see photo below).

If it is possible to choose a color for men's tracks, then the best option for mating can be considered combinations - brown plus beige, black plus yellow (or burgundy), green plus lemon (or white).

Children's

Footprints on two knitting needles for beginner needlewomen are a useful and convenient thing for a baby.

Crafts mothers feel much calmer when the child’s feet are warm and comfortable. In addition, it is very pleasant to knit little footprints for your beloved baby with your own hands.

What to prepare:

  • a ball of soft yarn (≈200 g);
  • 2 straight knitting needles without stoppers, size No. 3;
  • hook, size No. 2;
  • marker pin, ruler, scissors.

Step-by-step instructions for knitting the simplest tracks:

  1. Cast on 18 stitches on the needles.
  2. Knit 60 rows in garter stitch, without tying 1 edge stitch, and purl the last stitch.
  3. Next, close all the loops with facial loops.
  4. From the edge braid of the side of the knitted fabric, cast on 32 loops. For ease of work, you can use 3 knitting needles or switch to circular knitting needles.
  5. Knit a circular fabric with a stocking to the level of the little finger (≈15-25 rows). For this part of the trail, you can use the front surface, openwork, jacquard, pattern with a braid or flagellum.
  6. Next you need to start decreasing the loops for the spout. Knit knit 1. p., 2 persons. p. in 1 persons. p., 10 persons. p., 2 persons. p. in 1 persons. p., 1 persons. p. According to this pattern, you need to knit the spout of the trail until there are 8 loops left on the knitting needle. Pass the working thread through the remaining loops, tighten and tack.
  7. Place the side halves of the heel together and sew with a knitted seam.

Footprints on two knitting needles are an excellent knitting school for beginning needlewomen. Experienced knitters claim that having learned to knit small wardrobe items, such as mittens, socks or footwear, you can easily “get your hand” and take on more complex items.
