We knit 3 rows of such “scales”, i.e., repeat this pattern 3 times (from 1 to 8 rows).
Next 8 rows in garter stitch and cast off. This is a bootie cuff.

Cast on loops along the wavy edge. From each scale, 4 loops and 4 between the scales, throwing a loop on the knitting needle to make 40 loops, distribute these loops on 4 knitting needles and knit 1 row of facial ones.

Then, in the center, transfer 11 loops to one knitting needle and tie 18 rows of garter stitch, finish on the faces. side.
Cast on 8 sts from the side and knit in a circle, then cast on 8 more sts and knit 7 rows. facial loops. There are 55 stitches on the needles. Next 4 rows of purl. loops, 4 rows of facial loops. Form tucks and knit the sole in stocking stitch. Knitting will be across.
We close the loops.

In this master class, we offer to learn knit cute crocodile booties crochet. These booties look like half boots, their cuff is made lush pattern"flakes", for which they got their name.

Booties can be knitted for a child of any age, for a year, one and a half or two. Depending on the size of the child's legs, dial the initial chain of loops of the desired length.

For knitting booties, yarn "Children's Pekhorka" and hook No. 3.5 were used.

Knitting the soles of the booties:

Make the initial loop on the hook, cast on 18 air loops+ 3 air.p. lifting the first row. According to this description, the sole of the booties is 13 cm long and 6.5-7 cm wide.

Knit the first row with st.s / n, to knit the first column, insert the hook into the 4th loop from the hook, knit 5 tbsp from the first loop. s / n, then knit from each loop of st. s / n, from the final loop of 6 tbsp. s / n, on the second side of the chain from each loop one st. s / n. Finish the circular row with a connecting column in the 3rd lifting loop.

For knitting the second row, dial 3 air points, for rounding out of 6 columns connected at the ends of the initial chain, knit 2 tbsp. s / n. On the sides, knit one column from each loop. Finish a number of connections. from the 3rd lifting loop.

Start the third row with 3 air sts. lifting, on a rounding of 12 columns, make additions, knitting 2 tbsp through one loop. s / n. In this row, the number of columns on the roundings will increase from 12 to 18, on the sides the number of columns does not change. Complete the circular row of connections. Art. in the 3rd lifting loop.

4th row: make 1 rep. lifting, tie the sole of the booties st. b / n without additions in a circle, complete a series of connections. Art.

The sole of the booties should match the size of the child's feet. Further the side part of the booties is knitted with embossed columns.

For knitting the 5th row, make 2 air p. lift. For the first relief column, yarn over the hook, insert the hook behind the leg of the column of the previous row and knit st. s / n. So knit embossed columns in a circle from each column of the previous row. A chain of loops will form along the edge of the sole, and the embossed columns will be located at an angle. Finish the row with a connecting column in the 2nd lifting loop.

6th row: 2 air p. lifting, in this row we begin to knit with a relief elastic band, alternating convex and concave columns. To knit a convex column, we insert the hook behind the leg of the column of the previous row before work.

To tie a concave column, we insert the hook by the leg by the leg of the column of the previous row at work.

There are no additions in this row, the sides of the booties are knitted up. Finish the row of connections in the second lifting loop.

In the next row of embossed elastic, knit the convex columns by the legs convex columns, knit the concave columns by the legs of the concave columns.

Knit 4 rows with ribbing.

Next, we will make reductions on the toe of the booties. On 18 loops on the rounding of the toe, decrease by knitting 2 relief columns together, the number of loops on the rounding in a row will be reduced to 9. On the sides of the booties and on the heel, continue to crochet the relief elastic band.

In the second row of decreases on 10 loops on the rounding of the toe, knit 2 relief columns together, their number will be reduced to 5.

In the last row on the toe, knit 5 relief columns together. To do this, insert the hook alternately behind the legs of 5 relief columns, then knit them together at once.

Knitting a bootie cuff with a scales pattern

The cuff will be fastened with wraparound buttons on the outer side. To go to the beginning of knitting along the edge, knit connecting posts, while knitting 3 connecting posts together on the toe to further narrow the toe.

Having knitted to the center of the side of the booties, dial a chain of 8 air sts for the smell. and back along the chain, knit the conn. Art. to the edge of the booties.

Description of knitting pattern "scales":

1 row: 3 air.p. lifting, 1 voz.p., * 1 tbsp. s / n, 1 air.p., 2 tbsp. s / n, 1 air.p. *, repeat **. Finish row 2 sts / n, at the end of an additional dialed chain.

In the second row, knit scales on groups of two columns. Make 3 air loops, yarn over on the hook for the first st., Insert the hook into the center between the two columns, put it behind the leg of the first column and knit the st. s / n, tie another 3 tbsp from the leg. s / n.

Make 1 air p., yarn over, insert the hook into the center between the two columns and put the second column behind the leg, knit 5 tbsp from it. s / n.

Rotate the work 90 degrees. Insert the hook into the next group of two columns, knit 5 tbsp from the leg of the first. s / n, 1 air p., from the second leg 5 tbsp. s / n. Tie the scales to the end of the row and make a connection. Art. in the 3rd lifting loop of the first row.

Next, knit again a row of columns: 3 air.p., 1 air.p. in a row, 2 tbsp. s / n from the center of the scales of the previous row, * 1 air p., st. s / n from the column of the previous row, 1 air p., 2 tbsp. s / n from the center of the next scale *, repeat ** to the end of the row.

As in the previous row, tie the posts with scales.

Run 4 rows of scales - 8 rows of pattern.

Knit the last row. b/n. Sew buttons to the side of the cuff, fasten them into the holes in the center of the scales.

Video lesson of knitting crocodile booties:

booties, crocheted or knitting needles, today they are an integral part of the baby's first wardrobe. Their main function is to gently warm little feet without causing discomfort. The first hand-knitted shoes for a child can be not only practical, but also very beautiful. In this article, we will just tell you how to crochet a very original, unusual model, namely, crocodile booties: a step-by-step selection of knitting videos and detailed step-by-step instruction are presented below.

We knit crocodile booties: video of knitting and patterns used

For clarity, we suggest watching a video with detailed instructions knitting patterns "scales" and "embossed columns", as well as with step by step wizard classes for creating crocodile booties.

Crocodile booties are knitted quite simply, while the model turns out to be very interesting and original. For their knitting, it is recommended to use special children's yarn, which is particularly soft and safe composition.

Such a model will look spectacular, even if it is done in one color. However, in this matter, you can show imagination and use several shades of yarn.

For example, the alternation of stripes with "scales" on the cuffs, made with yarn of contrasting colors, looks beautiful.

Another interesting color scheme for this model is the use of sectional dyed yarn with a smooth transition from one color to another.

Or, the main part of the booties can be knitted in one color, and the cuff in the second.

After the yarn and its color are selected, you can start knitting booties.

How to crochet crocodile booties correctly and quickly?

These interesting booties got their name due to the original cuff, made with a “scale” pattern. These boots are ideal for walks on cool summer evenings, as well as on warm autumn days. They will also be comfortable as house shoes.

To knit them, you will need a hook number 3 and children's yarn (about 50g), buttons for fastening.

Knitting of the product begins with the sole. We collect a chain of 14 air loops, then we knit according to the scheme presented below.
Depending on the age of the child and the size of his foot, if necessary, increase the number of rows when knitting the sole. We perform two such blanks at once.

We continue knitting in a circle with embossed columns (see the diagram below), in total, to lift, you need to complete 4 rows with such a pattern.

Now we move on to the formation of the toe. To do this, on its side we find the central loop, count 9 loops from it in both directions, mark these points with markers. We continue to knit in a circle, on the selected 18 loops we do the following:

1 row: we knit two columns together, 9 loops remain;

2 row: again in this part of the work we knit 2 columns together, 5 loops remain;

3 row: we knit all 5 remaining columns together.

The cuff in these booties will be on the fasteners in the middle of the side. We mark this place with a marker, we knit it with connecting posts. We knit further with straight and reverse rows.

We collect a chain of 8 air loops, knit it back with connecting posts. We continue knitting with the “scales” pattern.

Description of the pattern "scales":

1 row: 3 air loops for lifting, 1 air loop, *1 double crochet, chain 1, double crochet 2, chain 1 * - repeat ** until the end of the row.

2nd row: we knit “scales” on groups of two columns, for this we collect 3 air loops, we knit on the hook and insert it between the two columns of the bottom row, we start by the leg of the first column, we knit 4 columns with crochets. We knit 1 air loop, make a crochet on the hook, start by the leg of the second column, knit 5 double crochets from there. We also knit the second “scale” from the next group of two columns (5dc from the base of one, ch, 5dc from the base of the second), by analogy we knit to the end of the row.

Row 3: Chain 3 for lifting, chain 1, double crochet 2 from center of scale, *ch 1, double crochet 1 from bottom row, ch 1, dc 2 from center of scale*, repeat ** to end row.

4 row: we knit "scales", as in the second row.

We knit only 8 rows of the pattern (of which 4 rows of “scales”).

We finish knitting with a row of single crochets in each loop. Cut the thread, hide the tail.

Sew two buttons for the fastener to the cuff.

We knit the second booties by analogy with the first, we perform the fastener on the other side.

Very beautiful crocodile pattern booties for babies that can be crocheted using our step by step master class for beginners with the necessary pictures and diagrams.

Before you get started, you need to decide on the size. If you need a larger size, then you should increase the number of loops cast on, and if you need a smaller size, then you need to cast on fewer loops.

You will need:

• markers;
• scissors;
• yarn (100% acrylic) - 1 skein;
• hook according to the thickness of the yarn;
• 6 medium or small buttons for fastening.

Yarn for kids choose soft, not prickly. Special baby yarn is best.

Description of work:

We start knitting from the sole. We make a fixed loop. We collect 15 VP.

1st p.: Yarn over on the hook, report 4 sts. In the 4th st., knit CC1H. And so you need to knit each p. to the end of the p. In the last p. knit 6 dc. So we get the rounding of the sole. Next, we knit in each p. CC1H to the end of the river. In the last p. we knit 6 CCH. At the end of the river JV connect river.

2nd row: from the joint venture we knit 2 VPs and make a crochet on the hook and knit CC1H in the next p. We knit the columns to the middle of the sole.

To determine the middle of the sole, bend the sole in half and mark the middle of the product on both sides with a marker.

We continue r. We knit CCH to the point marked with a marker. Next, knit PSS1N. We knit the next 2 p., also PSS1N and continue knitting RLS to the place of rounding on the heel (6 columns of rounding). Then we knit 2 sc in each rounding column. Next, we knit RLS in each stitch up to 2 stitches in front of the marker. We knit these 2 p. PSS1N. Next, we make CC1H to the place of rounding of the sole (6 columns of rounding). Now in each of the 6 p. we knit 2 CC1H. We finish r. SS.

Before starting the 3rd p. Mark up with markers. To do this, fold the product in half and mark the middle of the sole on both sides with a marker.

3rd row: From the joint venture we knit 2 VPs, make a crochet on the hook and knit the next p. PSS1N to the p. marked with a marker. Now we knit each st. RLS to a rounding on the heel. In 6 p. (Mark these p. With a marker) we knit 2 RLS each. Then we continue to knit RLS to the marker, then PSS1N until the toe is rounded. We consider 10 points of rounding and we knit these points for 2 PSS1N. JV connect river. and finish the last row.

4th row: from the joint venture we make 2 VPs, we make a crochet and then we knit as in 3 p. CC1H. In 6 p. On the rounding of the heel, we knit 2 CC1H each (mark with a marker). Then we continue to knit each p. CC1H until rounded on the toe. Now in 6 points of rounding the toe we knit 2 CC1H each. We knit the following stitches in 1 CC1H to the end of the river, we connect the joint venture. and the sole of the booties is ready. We cut off the thread.

Bottom of boots:

Find the center of the heel of the sole. From the front side, we introduce the hook into the p. And knit it out:
1st p.: RLS knitting each p. without additions to the end of the p. JV connect river. and knit the next p. 2 VP and yarn over on the hook. We introduce a hook between p. from the front side we knit CC1H and make a crochet on the hook from the wrong side of CC1H. We alternate CC1N either from the front side, or from the wrong side we knit a row.

It is important that at the end we get different columns, i.e. front column and purl column. If the columns turned out to be the same, then when knitting the next row, you need to do this from another column, skipping the VP.

2nd row: 2 VP, yarn over on the hook, insert it between the columns from the front side and knit CC1H, then knit CC1H from the wrong side. Thus, we knit the entire circular river. Then we make a joint venture and complete the row.

3rd and 4th p. knit as well as the 2nd p. As a result, we get 4 p. crochet gum pattern.

To get the same number of reductions on both crocodile booties, it is better to write down the reductions in a notebook.

5th row: we knit the front and back columns to the marker as in the previous rivers. After the marker, we knit only the front columns to the column marked with a marker. Next, we knit as in the previous p. We finish r. SP.

6th row: we also knit, alternating front and back columns. We make a decrease: * yarn over on the hook, insert between p. facial column loop capture, once again we also insert the hook between the front tables and the capture of the stitch, as a result, there should be 3 stitches on the hook, then we knit these stitches with one * and then from * to * we knit to the marker. Further as the previous row.

7th row: we also start with facial and purl columns to the marker, then insert the hook between the 2 combined columns and knit CC1H to the column marked with the marker. Further as in the previous rows.

8th p.: we start as in the previous p. and knit to the marker. Then we make a decrease from the point marked with a marker: we knit 2 front columns together. Insert the hook between the stitches of the front column, knit 2 stitches, knit the first 2 stitches again and knit 3 stitches together. So we knit to the point marked with a marker. Then we continue knitting in the same way as in the previous p. We cut the thread.

Top of boots:

Before knitting the top, it is better to mark up. To do this, we bend the product in half, then again in half and mark the fold points with a marker.

9th row: insert the hook into the st marked with a marker and knit SC into each st without decreasing. We finish r. SP.

When knitting booties, you need to consider that the fasteners will be on the outside. Therefore, we knit the right bootie in the direction of the heels, and the left bootie in the direction of the toe.

10th row: we begin to knit the main pattern, which looks like a crocodile pattern. We knit 2 VP. We unfold the knitting and knit in the next st. CC1H, then * 1 VP, skip 1 st from the bottom and knit CC1H in the 2nd, then into the next st. CC1H *. So we knit the whole river. pattern from * to *. We complete the river so that the pattern ends with 2 columns.

11th p.: 1 VP. We unfold knitting. The first 2 sts from the bottom we knit RLS. Further with a pattern: * yarn over on the hook, insert the hook between 2 columns, turn the knitting on ourselves, knit in the arch 4 СС1Н, 1 VP, unfold the knitting, make a yarn on the hook, insert the hook between the 1st and 2nd columns and we knit a column, then we also knit 4 SS1H into this arch, knit 1 RLS * into a large arch, then continue from * to * to the end of the row.

12th row: unfold the knitting, * make a crochet on the hook and knit 2 CC1H, 1 VP * into the arch from below, then from * to * to the end of the river .. In the last 2 p. we knit 1 CC1H each.

13th p.: 1 VP, unfold the product, knit the first 2 p. RLS, then knit a pattern as in the 11th p. from * to * to the end of the river.

Assembling booties-boots "crocodiles": hide the threads and cut off the extra ones. Sew on buttons.
If desired, booties can be decorated with beads, beads, ribbons, rhinestones or appliqués.
