Not everyone can crochet booties. It takes patience and a little basic knitting knowledge. Therefore, if you decide to please the “little miracle” with a new thing made by yourself, we will teach you how to crochet booties beautifully and correctly. Booties for beginners - this will be the first part of a large lesson, then we will move on to more complex models.
Crochet lessons for beginners (diagrams with step by step description)
This part of the article can be called "learning for dummies or how to quickly and easily crochet booties." For beginners, this is a real find, as a large number of photos, videos and step-by-step instruction will help you to understand this difficult matter. So, the master class "how to learn to knit the simplest booties."
The simplest baby booties (a lesson for beginner needlewomen)
If you learn how to knit the simplest patterns, you can fantasize and turn them into funny animals (monkeys, bunnies, lambs, bears), interesting fruits (strawberries, apples). You can also just beautifully tie the edge or decorate socks that will be beautifully combined, for example, with a bandage on your head and, voila, a chic set is ready.
Light models for the summer or for the home can be made on felt soles.
For this model (sole size 10 cm) you need soft yarn (100% acrylic, 50 g / 200 m) in 2 colors.
We dial 12 ch + 3 ch (total 15 ch), insert the hook into the 4th loop of the chain from the hook and knit 3 rows according to this pattern.
Having knitted three rows, we pass to another color.
4th row - in each column (back) we knit a loop without a crochet. The result should be 56 loops.
We knit the 5th in the same way. The result is two rows knitted with white thread.
Let's switch to blue. We start by knitting a “bump” (2 air loops, after 2 unfinished columns, then one air loop).
We skip one loop and again make a “bump”.
So knit a whole row and close. We knit the 7th as well as the 6th.
We close the row and break the thread. Having marked the middle, we begin to knit a cape with a white thread.
We introduce the hook into the back wall of the loop and knit a white "bob" from two unfinished loops.
We turn over and also knit "bumps".
You should get 7 pieces, after which you need to connect them.
Finish the row in the same way.
2 more rows and go back to blue.
We decorate the edge by knitting three air loops for each column.
Master class with a detailed full description (step by step photo)
Step by step, you learn the basics that help you move on to more interesting models. When starting from scratch, all the little useful secrets help you move forward quickly, so I suggest moving on to more complex crochet booties for beginners with step by step description.
Knitted sneakers for children
Adidas sneakers made by hand will be appreciated by true gentlemen.
For this "masterpiece" you will need thin white cotton yarn (100% cotton, 50g / 150m), hook number 2 and 3 hours of free time.
We start with the sole. The sole is knitted according to this scheme.
The sock is knitted from the front 30 loops. 1 row - single crochets, 2 - double crochets (3 loops and with one top). There should be 10 loops left.
We connect all 10 columns, transfer the thread to the beginning of the row and knit 2 rows of single crochets.
7 rows - double crochets.
The tongue ends with three rows of white thread. After that, you can tie the product around the perimeter.
We embroider a logo, we put in a lace. Ready!
Do-it-yourself summer sandals for a child
If you love children's knitted sandals for the summer, learning how to knit a sole, you can come up with a lot of ideas and create a large number of interesting models.
Fold the sole in half and find the center at the toe. The middle should be 5 columns. Tie a thread with a regular knot and tie 13 air loops, then attach it to the opposite side of the spout with a half-column without a crochet (ps.b.n.) (distance 5 st.b.n.). Next, knit according to scheme 2 (only what is indicated in blue and dark red). The nose should look like in fig. 3. Do not break the thread. In the last row, you clung to the sole with 2 half-columns b.n.
Further:
1 row: ch 3, attach them to pst.b.n. to the strap (skip 3 dc). Tie 34 st. n. and also attach pst. b. n. to the strap.
2nd row: ch 1 and the whole row of st. b.s. = 35 st.b.n.
3 row: Again ch 3 and 34 st. With. n., 4 vp, 3 tbsp. s.n. in the middle of the strap, ch 4
Next is a row of arches for the ribbon. 5 v.p., st.s.n. through 1st.s.n. the previous row. St. s.n., 1 v.p., st.s. n. repeat the entire row in a circle.
Start the next row with pst. b.s. in an arch, 4 ch, st.s.n., 1 c. p., st.s.n. again in the arch. And so the whole series.
Baby shoes for girls (crochet)
Christening gowns or a fishnet cap will look chic with crocheted beaded shoes. Make them in the form of ballet flats or moccasins. The most important thing is that the yarn is soft and pleasant for the child's feet.
Crochet booties for beginners with a step-by-step description (crocheted).
You can take any cotton threads you like and hook No. 2.5. We start with the sole (look at the diagram below).
If you find it difficult to navigate the scheme, I suggest that you dwell on this stage in more detail.
We collect 17 air loops (we start knitting from the 3rd).
1 row: 7 single crochet, 7 single crochet, 7 double crochet in the last stitch (and continue on the other side of our chain), 7 single crochet, 7 single crochet, 4 single crochet in the last stitch, connecting stitch .
2 row: 3 air loops, double crochet in the same base. 14 double crochets, (2 double crochets from one loop) - 5 times, 16 double crochets, 3 double crochets from one loop, 4 double crochets from one loop, 3 double crochets from one loop, connecting column.
3 row: 3 air loops, 15 double crochets, (2 double crochets from one loop, double crochet) - 2 times, (3 double crochets from one loop) - 2 times, (double crochet, 2 double crochets double crochet from one loop) - 2 times, 16 double crochet, (2 double crochet from one loop, double crochet) - 2 times, (3 double crochet from one loop) - 2 times, (double crochet, 2 double crochet from one loop) - 2 times, connecting column.
4 row: air loop, we tie the entire row with single crochets, finish with a connecting post.
5 row: 3 air loops, we knit the entire row with single crochets for the back half loop of our sole, we finish the row with a connecting post.
6 row: 3 air loops, we knit the whole row with double crochets, we finish with a connecting column.
We pass to the white thread.
7 row: 3 air loops, 15 double crochets, (2 double crochet stitches together with a common top) - 10 times, knit a row with double crochet stitches, finish with a connecting stitch.
8 row: 3 air loops, 14 double crochets, (2 double crochet stitches together with a common top) - 6 times, knit a row with double crochet stitches, finish with a connecting stitch.
We make 5 connecting loops. We unfold our bootie and knit from the inside.
9 row: 3 air loops, 27 double crochets.
Almost ready, so I suggest tying the product with single crochets.
Sew on a bow, buttons and beads.

The mink is a cute North American animal with valuable fur. Drawing a small mink is simple, you need to follow the instructions on how to draw a mink in stages and follow everything in sequence. Hint, the mink has a long tail and its length is about one third of the body size. They have thick and shiny hair with a white patch under the throat and chin.
How to draw a mink with a pencil step by step
1. For the head, draw an upward curve that curves under itself and goes down.
2. At the extreme right point of the head, draw a small circle for the nose, as well as small eyes and two semicircles for the ears.
3. Draw the body of the mink, a long curve from the back of the head and shorter from front end heads.
4. At chest level, make two small curves that end in a three-finger pointed shape for the front hand.
5. Make a similar shape for the second front arm.
6. Draw a curve going down from the front of the body to represent the shape of the leg.
7. It remains to finish the tail and the image of the mink is ready. To complete the drawing, you need to decorate with colored pencils or paints. The work called how to draw a mink with a pencil is completed.
What You'll Be Creating
Drawing fur from imagination can be very frustrating. You've seen it, you know what it is, but when you try to draw it, you end up with a pile of straw.
If you have such a problem, then in this tutorial I will show you how to solve it. First clue? You need to draw what you see, not what you know!
What will you need
- Paper
- HB pencil
- Pencil 2B
- Pencil 4B
- Mechanical pencil HB
- Blender (or cotton swab)
- Rubber eraser (or regular eraser)
1. What is Fur?
Let's start with a little theory. You will be able to draw fur with a pencil much better just by learning the following few simple facts!
First, fur is made up of hairs that are tightly packed together, creating a smooth surface. However, on the bends, the fur begins to thicken - individual hairs are grouped.
This "clustering" can occur in all directions, creating "waves" of wool or small individual tufts.
We can see everything because of the contrast between light and shadow. The larger the clusters, the greater the shadow between them.
When you draw fur by drawing individual hairs, what you are really drawing is the skin, which is light at the base of the fur, which blocks the light. That's why it looks so weird!
So the big secret is: to draw believable fur with a pencil, you don't need to draw the fur/clumps, but the shadows between them.
In fact, this is how you should always approach drawing. We draw chiaroscuro and nothing else. A single hairline may look like a simple pencil stroke, but you can't paint fur with lots of simple strokes!
2. How to Draw Long Fur
Step 1
Let's draw a fluffy tail as an example. Imagine that the top of the tail is slightly curled away from you. With a pencil HB, draw the basic shape of the tail. Don't press too hard on the pencil, we don't want these lines to be visible later.
Step 2
Tilt your pencil to shade the shape with a gray tint. Do not press too hard to achieve an even effect. You can simulate the flow of wool with strokes, but this is not necessary.
Step 3
Take a pencil 2B, and using the same technique, shade one side of the tail. We need to give the tail a 3D shape.
Step 4
Press harder with a pencil near the edge so that the shadow gradually becomes darker.
Step 5
Pick up the pencil again HB to draw the "side hairs". These curves will determine the direction of the fur throughout the tail. Don't forget the curve at the top!
Step 6
Tilt your pencil to turn each hair into sparse tufts of fur. Be careful!
Step 7
Now the hardest part - we need to add shadows between the beams. There are certain "signs" that you can use as a basis, but you need to try it yourself to understand how it works. Practice a little on a separate piece of paper if you don't know how to do it.
Use the side hairs as a guide for direction. The larger the angle, the shorter and wider the shadows should be. Use a pencil for this. 2B, keep it tilted for more natural strands. If you drew any sharp thin lines, then your eye would mistake them for random hairs that would change the effect.
Step 8
Let's move on to the right side. The closer to the edge, the narrower and denser the shadows should be.
Step 9
Keep using the same pencil, only for the other side, press the pencil harder to get a darker shading.
Step 10
Wool tufts are easy to create and look very attractive, although this is not natural for smooth surface so that the wool is tangled into bundles. Draw larger, wider shadows at the bottom to create "waves" (smooth clusters of tufts).
Step 11
With a pencil 4B, paint thick dark shadows on the shaded side. Don't make them too big!
Step 12
Use the same pencil to also add darker shadows in the middle part, just do it very carefully. There should not be many shadows in this part and the sharper they are, the more wet the tail will look.
Step 13
Take feathering or a cotton swab if you don't have a blender. Carefully align the tufts of wool by "drawing" over the fur according to the direction of the flow of the fur.
Step 14
Take eraser to add light highlights to the illuminated side. If you have a rubber eraser you can actually draw some fur with it, if that doesn't work then use a normal eraser.
Step 15
It's time for mechanical pencil. Use it to add tiny shadows in the tufts of wool (after all, large tufts of wool are made up of smaller tufts). Be extremely careful - too many shadows can spoil the effect. Feel free to copy the shadow shapes you see in my drawing.
Step 16
Use the same pencil if you want to add detail to the bottom, but avoid areas of large shadows. This part should be smooth and soft!
Step 17
We return to the top. Add separation at the ends of the buns. Remember, draw them only with shadows!
Step 18
Draw individual hairs on the sides to enhance the effect. Don't press too hard on the pencil!
Step 19
Relax, and then take another look at your drawing from a distance. Flip the drawing over, look at it in a mirror, and maybe take a picture to see a different perspective.
If you notice something that you would like to change, then it's time to do it! However, don't try to add more contrast - the darker the shadows, the harsher the tufts of hair will look. Soft fur doesn't have a lot of sharp shadows because light passes through it easily.
3. How to Draw Short Fur
Step 1
The short fur is based on the same rules as the long fur. After all, it does not matter how long the fur is, but it matters how long it is on the surface on which it lies. The smaller the surface, the more bends and more tufts. The larger the surface, the more uniform the fur.
Let's draw the base of the lion's tail as an example. Once again, imagine how it bends at the top. Use a pencil HB.
Step 2
Tilt the pencil slightly to draw the short hair in the middle. Don't draw in rows, but rather draw the pencil down and then come back for a less artificial effect.
Step 3
Move to the other side, this time draw them tighter and at a wider angle.
Step 4
Do the same at the top, don't forget about the fold area - this is where the fur looks shorter.
Step 5
Do the same on the other side with a pencil 2B.
Step 6
It's time for shadows! This time they should be very tiny. First in the middle...
Then on the sides. Here they may look more like simple lines.
Step 7
Press harder on the other side of the pencil to increase the contrast.
Step 8
Take a pencil 4B to add some dark hairs right on the side.
Step 9
Take mechanical pencil to complete the shadow work.
Step 10
Use the same pencil to accentuate individual small hairs on the sides.
Excellent Job!
As you can see, fur is not that hard to draw if you know the rules. Now you can use this knowledge, which will allow you to draw any type of fur!
