Slippers knitting, description, workshop

knit

The slippers are knitted from the top. This method is very convenient because if the sole wears out, you do not need to knit the entire slipper, just re-knit the lower rows (i.e., the sole itself). The slippers are knitted with two threads. The size of the slipper is 35-36. On needles No. 4.5, cast on 41 stitches and knit 10 rows of knit stitches. Or on needles No. 5.5, cast on 35 stitches and knit 8 rows of knit stitches. The size of the slipper is 37-38. On needles No. 5.5, cast on 41 (or 39) stitches and knit 8 rows of knit stitches.

Mark the middle stitch from which we will make increases. Now, to keep track, we will count the rows from the first (this is because we knitted the cuff for 8 and 10 rows) Row 1: knit stitches. From the middle stitch, we knit 7 stitches - we will call this "SHELL" (knit one stitch, without removing the stitch from the left needle, make a yarn over and knit the stitch again... and so it should result in seven). Knit stitches. We knit the shell very loosely, i.e., we make very elongated stitches.

Row 2: knit stitches. The number of stitches will increase by 6, if it was 35, it will be 41, if it was 41, it will be 47. Row 3: knit stitches. Row 4: knit stitches. Row 5: knit stitches - SHELL - knit stitches. Row 6: knit stitches. Row 7: knit stitches. Row 8: knit stitches. Row 9: knit stitches - SHELL - knit stitches. Row 10: knit stitches. We knit like this until we get 5 or 6 SHELLS - depending on the desired size.

After the fifth (sixth) Shell, knit 6 rows of garter stitch (knit stitches). This is to transition from the toe to the sole (or in other words, the thickness of the foot). Next, we knit the sole. For more durability, you can add nylon thread, for more warmth, wool thread. SOLE - knit 11 (13) rows of garter stitch (knit stitches). You can decrease in the middle (3 stitches together) and at the edges (2 stitches together) for an oval sole.

After you have completed everything, divide the work onto two needles. And start closing the sole. Move the middle stitch to a hook. Grab the stitch from the needle and pull it through this stitch. Then grab the stitch from the other needle and again pull it through the formed stitch and continue until the end of the slipper. Then sew the back part.
