One of the most common disadvantagesKnitted slippers can be called rapid wear of the sole. Regardless of how the floor is provided in the house, wiped-up areas appear after a month or two. As a result, the sole has to change or get rid of slippers at all. Slippers on a felt sole become an excellent way out. They are crocheted quite simply; you just need to find suitable materials.
What to use for the sole
Simple felt insoles work well as a solid base for slippers. They can be bought almost anywhere, especially in winter.
Another option is to buy felt andcutting out the soles of the right size. This method is convenient if you need to immediately produce several pairs, since the cost of buying a sheet of felt exceeds the cost of the insoles.
Fastening slippers to the sole
Some craftswomen prefer to reduce the volumework for yourself and impose slippers right on the sole. For this, holes should be made in the felt. This is best achieved by using a device for working with leather goods. Sometimes an awl helps, but such holes are not large enough.
You need to select the appropriate hole diameter andperform them at a distance of one or one and a half centimeters from each other. This distance depends on the thickness of the yarn used: the thinner it is, the closer the holes should be.
Если специального устройства нет, можно выйти из position, running along the edge of the sole of a looped seam (in this case, the first row will consist of single crochet stitches tied into arches formed by a looped seam).
The next step is to proceed.directly to the manufacture of the main fabric products. Slippers on a felt sole crochet begin to knit with "bushes" of 3-5 crochets. The basis of each "bush" is the hole made. You may need a different number of columns, the thicker the thread, the smaller they will be.
When the first row is completed, you can proceed to the next stage.
Sides of the slippers
Further knitting should continue smoothly, withoutadditions or abbreviations. The optimum web height is four centimeters. The color of the yarn does not matter, but the pattern is important. For the sides of the slippers is suitable only tight binding. Otherwise, abutting fingers will deform the crocheted slippers. There is no scheme as such, the work is carried out in circular rows with simple columns without a nakida or with a crochet.
Slippers on a felt sole crochet: the formation of a sock
The photo above shows how to start.knitting the top of the sock slippers. In the first row, 4 columns are made in the center of the toe, then the number of columns is increased by one on each side in each row. The work is carried out in straight and back rows, with the simultaneous attachment of this canvas to the sides of the slippers.
Thus, each row increases the number oftwo columns. When the length of the toe will be equal to 10 cm, the work should be stopped. The depth of the product can be made more or less than the specified size. Sock height is determined by fitting.
Half round sock for slippers
An interesting way to decorate the slippers on a felt sole, crocheted made, is to make a semicircular toe. This part is knitted separately, and then sewn into the right place.
In fact, any ornament can be the basis forsuch a sock. The main condition can be called the absence of large holes, as this will reduce the level of comfort of the product. A floral motif or a delicate semicircle will decorate your crocheted slippers. Fragment patterns can be obtained from circular motif patterns.
Completion of work: education pagolenka
The upper part of the slippers also knits in circular rows. The first row always consists of columns without a nakida, then you can apply some pattern.
The columns of the first row of the pagolya pass along the last row of the side of the slippers, as well as along the open side of the sock. Having closed a circular row, it is necessary to knit exactly without additions.
The height of pagolonok is determined only by personalthe choice of the skilled worker or the person who will wear knitted slippers crocheted. Diagrams and description of the pattern for pagolenka can be used absolutely any.
However, it is worth considering that it is easier and quicker to put on short slippers, they are more comfortable than high slippers, and their backs are not trapped. On the other hand, the long pagolok is significantly warmer.
As an alternative to the described method, you cantie slippers in any convenient way, then fix the felt on the fabricated sole and sew tightly. This will result in slippers with a knitted insole and a felt sole.
Crochet slippers for children knit in almost the same way as for adults, only reduce the proportions and choose more colorful colors.
