Beautiful seamless booties-shoes for babies

Progress: All descriptions and calculations are provided according to the model of booties-shoes in the photo. 1. Cast on 10 stitches with white yarn and knit: 1st row - 10 knit, 2nd row - 1 edge, 1 yarn over, 8 knit, 1 yarn over, 1 edge, from the 3rd to the 36th rows - knit 12 stitches knit, 37th row - 1 edge, 2 together knit, 6 knit, 2 together knit, 1 edge (10 stitches remain on the needles). Close them all. The sole is ready. 2. Cast on 56 stitches around the perimeter of the sole. I got 10 + 18 + 10 + 18 = 56 1st row - Knit these 56 stitches with red yarn in a circle. It is more convenient to switch to double-pointed needles here. 2nd row - (white yarn) - 1 purl, 1 stitch slip with yarn over, etc. 3rd row - (red yarn) - 1 purl, 1 knit (knit the stitch together with the yarn over) etc. Thus, repeat the 2nd and 3rd rows a total of 6 times (do not forget to change yarn color according to the description) This will be 13 rows (including the first one) 3. Start shaping the toe of the booties - 14th row - knit 14 knit with white yarn, knit 14 times 2 together knit, 14 knit = 42 stitches remain on the needles. Pay attention that when knitting 14 times 2 stitches together, do it strictly at the center of the future toe. 15th row (white) - 42 purl 16th row (red) - 42 knit 17th row (red) - 42 purl 18th row (white) - 42 knit 19th row (white) - 42 purl. Next, tie the yarn and cut it. 4. Join the white yarn and, leaving 10 stitches from the center of the heel, close all the stitches of the sides and the toe, leaving only 20 stitches of the heel unclosed - 10 stitches on each side from the center of the heel. Close the stitches on the toe a bit tighter than on the sides. 5. Heel: Knit the remaining 20 stitches for 3 rows with garter stitch, then cast on an additional 20 stitches for the strap and continue knitting all 40 stitches with garter stitch to the desired width of the strap. This is about 8 rows. When the desired width of the strap is reached, close all stitches. While knitting the strap, don’t forget to make a loop for the button. When knitting the second bootie, the strap is knitted from the opposite side (in a mirror image to the first) 6. Decorate as desired - with flowers, bows, pom-poms, etc. booties with a solid sole, without seams are ready!
