Booties are the first in the life of a newborn baby socks-boots. Until about a year old, they will be indispensable, so mom should have a few pairs of tiny shoes: for the street, home, clinic. Learning to knit booties is easy, it would be a desire and a skein of beautiful yarn.
How to choose a yarn for booties for a newborn
The newborn needs booties in order to keep the legs warm. The system of thermoregulation in the baby is not yet established, and therefore it quickly cools and overheats. Thanks to the booties, the baby does not freeze.
When a child grows up, knitted shoes with a soft sole will help him take the first steps, protect delicate feet from discomfort. In booties, the baby will be able to easily crawl on the floor without freezing, and will begin to gradually get used to shoes.
It is important to buy the "right" yarn, which does not harm the crumbs. A pure synthetic thread is cheap but does not allow air to pass through. If you knit booties from such yarn, the legs will sweat, and the baby will freeze. In addition, synthetic threads are highly electrified during friction.
Therefore, whenever possible prefer natural wool (soft, fine, good dressing), cotton thread. They perfectly protect from the cold, allow the skin to breathe, absorb moisture. Threads with the addition of cashmere and bamboo are very pleasant for the body.
It is important to consider that products made from natural yarn after washing will shrink, decrease in size and can become small. Therefore, an important recommendation for beginners: booties for a newborn with knitting needles should not be knitted exactly on the leg, but a little with a margin. The second option is to simply wash and dry the threads before starting work.
Which yarn is better to buy, labeling will tell. The inscriptions "baby", "baby", "baby" will tell you that before you is specially designed for knitting children's things yarn. Its production is controlled more tightly, the manufacturer monitors not only quality, but also safety for health. Yarn with a "baby" marking is usually hypoallergenic.
For example, alpaca wool is suitable for children's knitting - soft, fluffy, moderately voluminous. In a thread of natural wool, mites that cause allergies do not live, so it is perfect for babies.
Do not buy too brightly colored yarn for booties for a newborn with knitting needles. For beginners, the following information may be unexpected: poisonous yarn colors are unsafe. These are chemical dyes that, on contact with the skin, can cause redness, burning, irritation.
The thickness of the threads is seasonal. For winter, voluminous fluffy threads that hold heat well are preferred. For the summer, cotton or mixed thin yarn is ideal, pleasant to the body, not prickly, tender.
Knitting booties for a newborn: how to determine the size
If you want to tie booties not by eye, but by foot, you need to take measurements from the crumbs. This is done very simply: mark the starting line on a piece of cardboard, align the line with the heel and mark the place of the thumb. In addition, the foot must be marked on the cardboard in width, putting risks on both sides.
Now it remains to add to the obtained sizes one and a half centimeters for yarn, which does not shrink, and two each for a natural thread, which sits after washing.
Tip for beginners: booties for a newborn with knitting needles are not necessary to knit strictly by the measure taken from your baby. Standard sizes that you can navigate without taking measurements:
• 9 cm for a newborn up to three months;
