Booties

Master Irina Dyupina
You will need: yarn "Semenovskaya" or "Pehorka" 50% wool, 50% acrylic, 5 needles 2.5 mm.
1. Sole. All rows are knit with knit stitches.
Cast on 7 stitches (1 and 7 are edge stitches). Knit 1 row.
For rows 2, 4, 6 – make yarn overs near the edge stitches, in odd rows knit them as knit twisted.
You will have 13 stitches on the needles. Knit 13 purl stripes (26 rows) without increases. Then make 1 yarn over on each side and knit 15 stitches without increases, so that there are 23 stripes (46 rows).
At the beginning and end of odd rows, knit 2 stitches together until there are 7 stitches left on the needles. Bind off the stitches.
2. With white yarn, cast on stitches on 4 needles in a circle so that there are 12 stitches on the tip, and an even number of stitches on the other needles.
Knit "teeth"
Knit 1 row in a circle with knit stitches.
Row 2 – knit 2 together, yarn over – repeat until the end of the row.
Rows 3, 4 – knit stitches. Tie off and cut the white yarn.
Knit in a circle with red yarn and form "teeth". For this, connect the stitches of the next row with the red stitches of the last row before the white (1st photo)
You can just knit in a circle with red yarn, and then sew the stitches (2nd photo)
Knit 9 rows in a circle with knit stitches.
3. Knit the tip on the front 12 stitches as you would a heel of a sock.
Transfer the 12th stitch to the second needle and knit 2 stitches together knitwise.
Turn the work. Yarn in front, slip the 1st stitch, knit the rest purlwise, not knitting the last one. Transfer it to the other needle and knit 2 together purlwise. Turn the work. Slip the first stitch, knit the rest knitwise. Repeat this until there are 30 stitches left on 3 needles + 12 stitches for the tip. Stop on a purl row.
4. Next, we knit the inside of the booties in a circle.
2 rows of purl stitches.
7 rows of 1x1 ribbing.
7 rows of knit stitches.
1 row of purl stitches.
7 rows of knit stitches.
Attach the white yarn.

With red yarn, knit 2 rows of knit stitches
With white yarn, knit 1 row of knit, 1 row of purl, 1 row of knit, 1 row of purl. Bind off the stitches.
5. Ears.
On the needles, cast on 22 stitches with white yarn, knit 1 row of purl.
With red yarn, knit 6 rows, alternating knit and purl rows. Cut the red yarn, leaving a long tail. Use it to sew the ears to the base.
