DIY knitted loafers

Even if you do not have such experience in needlework, with maximum effort, you can achieve a wonderful result. It is better to start with something simpler - it may be light knitted shoes on the soles. You can make crochets with your own hands, for example, moccasins.

Materials for work

Prepare for work:

• yarn;
• metal hook;
• unnecessary shoes to use its sole.

Workshop on manufacturing

The following manipulations will be required:

1. Cut off the fabric from old shoes, pierce the sole for tying along the edge in a circle as close as possible to the upper edge.
2. Take the main thread, tie the edge of the sole. Just thread the hook from the outside in to the hole, grab the thread, pull it out so that you get the loop.
3. Next, drag another loop from the next hole, knit them together. Repeat this action in a circle, fasten and cut the thread.
4. Take yarn for moccasins, tie the sole in a circle under the arches formed in rows to a height of 2 cm with a lifting loop.
5. Cut and hide the threads.

Then your work will look like this:

1. Measure the length of the sole, place markers on both sides on half the length.
2. Also mark the middle of the front of the product.
3. Measure the widest part of the foot on the sole, take half, measure on both sides in the middle of the marker. You will get a toe. This is approximately 9 loops or 4.5 cm.
4. Knit further on the back halves of the loops, at the end climb to the next row. To do this, in the next two loops, knit 2 connecting posts and turn the moccasins with the heel towards you, in the opposite side, knit the second row.
5. Again, in the next two loops of the sidewall, knit 2 columns, finish all the rows with them.
6. Start adding from the third row in the front rows to expand the toe, knit 2 columns in each first and last loop. Knit a toe in this way to the markers.
7. Getting to the tongue. Tie 2 cm without increase, this is about 4 rows. Start the reduction as follows: on both sides, cut the loop through the row three times, that is, only the loops in the front rows. The tongue will turn out to be about 7 cm wide, then knit another 7 rows without changes, close the loops, remove the threads. Tie the finished tongue with single crochet posts.
8. We start knitting the backdrop. Measure 3 cm from the point where the toe with the sidewall connects towards the toe of the moccasins. Knit the front halves of the loops directly along the tongue, then the heel is already in both halves of the loops in a circle, that is, around the heel, turn and knit another row in the opposite direction from one marker to another.
9. Reduce one loop, make a single crochet, over the next two columns, knit 2 air loops, you get a hole for the lace. About 4 columns to the end of the row, tie 2 air loops, then another column through 2 single crochets, but do not knit the last one to make a reduction.
10. Knit all loops in the opposite direction with regular columns. You will get two pairs of rows, with a hole and without it. Alternate the pairs so that there are 3 holes on each side.
11. Tie a 90 cm long chain of lace stitches, add Italian Lurex.
