Knitted slippers for beginners step by step with description

Slippers are knitted on 2, 5 knitting needles or circular tools. Less often, a crochet hook is used. There are many models of slippers, the patterns of which are understandable even for beginner craftswomen.

What models of slippers are suitable for knitting for beginners

Speed ​​and rapidity of execution, the possibility of choosing the knitting technique, the use of yarn remnants - these are the main features of knitted slippers. For work, you will need a minimum of tools to make them. Experienced knitters initially recommend choosing the simplest methods for creating slippers.

These can be models knitted with satin stitch, variations with or without seams.

What kind of yarn should be used for knitting slippers?

Knitting of slippers is carried out using different types of yarn according to their composition, thickness, and shade.

Suitable are plain twisted thread and colored yarn made from natural or artificial fibers, for example:

• regular wool;
• mohair;
• angora;
• self-spun thread made at home;
• melange yarn;
• cashmere;
• silk, cotton, linen threads;
• "flame";
• "boucle".

When choosing yarn, first of all, pay attention to the structure and quality indicators of the thread. It is better to give preference to a breathable material that has high thermal-water properties, but has a low degree of electrification. Acrylic, linen or natural yarn, which has added synthetic thread in a ratio of 50X50, are suitable.

They also use leftover wool of different tones and densities. They are easy to put together and make multi-colored, quite modern slippers. Experienced craftswomen advise to thicken the heel and sole by adding a nylon thread. Then the product becomes more wear-resistant. And it is recommended to select yarn taking into account the seasons. Cashmere, wool, and semi-wool are suitable for winter. For spring, it is advisable to take acrylic, cotton, and bamboo.

The choice of material is very important. It should be soft to the touch, warm the feet well, and not irritate the skin. For knitting children's products, it is better to give preference to special hypoallergenic yarn of various colors.
