Footprints on two knitting needles, knitted with your own hands, are an opportunity for beginning needlewomen to learn the basics of the craft - to quickly learn general knitting techniques. These slippers will be useful in everyday life and will be a pleasant and beautiful thing for the lower part of your feet.
What are footprints for?
No matter how funny these names are, this item of clothing, something between socks and slippers, absolutely seriously performs the main function: keeping your feet warm.
This is the main task of footwear, but recently footwear have appeared that not only warm your feet, but also become an accessory. These are openwork footwear, which can be warm with lace trim or entirely lace.
Men's footprints
Men will definitely appreciate the work if they knit warm slippers without seams that will not press or rub. Feet will always remain warm. Select:
- 2 knitting needles No. 3;
- yarn, 1 skein of any color.
Cast on 49 p., knit 3 r. elastic band (1x1). Knit 2-3 r. with an elastic band. Further:
- yarn over, knits., yarn over, knits., mark the central loop with a marker;
- yarn over, knit, yarn over again, knit 23 stitches with an elastic band;
- knit another 5 p. according to the garter knitting pattern, with the row following them only up to half;
- middle 7 stitches - with a scarf pattern, in this case it is necessary to knit 2 together at the end of the row.
Continue knitting up to 7 central loops. Cast on 14 stitches of elastic on both sides to form the heel part. Knit 2 together in each subsequent row. Close the loops. The tracks are ready.
Why so short?
Most of all, the footprints look like unknitted socks. There are reasons for such “incompleteness”: short ones, covering only the foot and slightly instep of the foot allow you to wear tight-fitting shoes: boots or boots, and also shoes in which the insulating undershirt is either not visible, or also performs a decorative function, often due to lace trim.
The legs sometimes swell due to fatigue or illness. In this case, freedom in lifting the foot is important so that there is no pressure during swelling. And here, footprints with a long heel part and a short one, covering only the toes, come to the rescue. Warm and comfortable.
Tips for Beginners
For those who are just starting to master knitting house shoes, and knitting in general, there are some recommendations. All of them will help you get a good result even with little experience.
Adviсe:
- Yarn selection. The comfort and wear resistance of the product directly depends on the selected threads. Yarn for knitting footwear should be well twisted and not loose. In addition to strength, this thread holds the pattern well.
- Beginning knitters should choose slipper models that are knitted with two knitting needles. It is easy to choose their size if you compare the thickness of the knitting needle and the selected thread. They should be approximately the same.
- In order for the footwear to be comfortable and fit tightly on the foot, it is necessary to accurately and correctly measure the length of the foot and calculate the loops. Footprints that are too large will stretch during wear and will slide off the heel.
- To knit openwork heels, you need to choose knitting needles of a larger number, from 4.5 to 6. Dense heels can be knitted with knitting needles 3-4.5 mm.
Knitted house slippers, slippers or cozy half-socks are useful and stylish accessories for the whole family. Any of the proposed models can be easily connected thanks to diagrams with detailed descriptions.
What are they: size, material, manufacturing method
Footprints are divided into two large groups: those made only for warmth and those that carry an additional decorative load. Look through the photos of knitted footwear.
The main problem of knitted footwear
Whatever beautiful model you choose, you will have to solve the problem of abrasion of the sole, because the knitted fabric is quite thin and will quickly become unusable from constant friction. My wool blend socks frayed at the heel after about a month and a half. Undoubtedly, it was pleasant to walk in them, but their life turned out to be very short.
There are several ways to extend the life of knitted footwear or slippers:
- When knitting, add a thick synthetic thread to the main yarn, as our grandmothers did, so that the insole lasts longer.
- Buy special sock yarn for knitting; manufacturers promise that it is much stronger than regular wool blend or semi-synthetic yarn. But its downside is its high cost.
- Use ready-made insoles as soles for knitted footprints, felt or some other.
- Knit a double sole, one of them can be from bags or synthetic cord, jute. You can take some other durable material. The main thing is that the finished footbed insole is not slippery.
Once you have solved the problem with the sole, you can begin choosing a model and description of the footprints. We offer a selection from our readers and needlewomen from the Internet. Good videos - lessons and master classes on knitting leopards for children and adults. We will only crochet.
Features of choosing yarn
Any blended yarn is perfect for making trails. The winter version is better knitted from half-woolen threads. For the off-season, acrylic with a small addition of wool or cotton is suitable.
There is no need to avoid high-quality yarn made from pure synthetics. It is soft and does not prick. For summer, it is permissible to use linen, cotton, bamboo and other materials with a natural composition.
How does the technique for making slippers with knitting needles differ from slippers?
Most of the technologies for knitting heels are very simple, some of them are similar to the techniques for knitting slippers. Still, you should remember that slippers and footwear are not the same thing. Unlike fairly spacious slippers, slippers should “sit” strictly on the foot and contain a minimum number of seams, or better yet, do without them at all, because they are intended to be worn in shoes. What is the best way to knit them? We will tell you about this in detail. If slippers are not your option, we advise you to study knitting socks with knitting needles with a description, which can be a worthy replacement for even the best socks and slippers!
The simplest seamless heels are knitted on two needles. This can be done easily and simply by following the instructions and diagrams given below.
Two knitting needles or four?
To knit leopards, you can use either 4 or 2 knitting needles, the result will in any case live up to expectations, but the work process will be different:
- Knitting on four needles is suitable for skilled needlewomen; with this method of knitting, the heels are knitted in one piece; if necessary, the product can be unraveled and repaired.
- Knitting on two needles is good for beginner knitters; you can use circular knitting needles so that the product does not slip off during work; this method of knitting is faster and easier.
To make the sole of the shoe stronger, you can add a nylon thread to it or knit it with a double thread. When making a product, it is important to know exactly the size of the foot on which the heels are knitted, because they must fit the foot tightly, otherwise they will always slide off the heel, causing inconvenience to the one who wears them.

Simple step-by-step instructions
Even a beginner in this matter can knit tracks with knitting needles. Relatives and friends will definitely appreciate the handicraft it deserves. In addition, beautiful knitted footprints on knitting needles are a handmade gift, for example, for the New Year holidays or Christmas.
It’s worth starting work by measuring the length of the foot, since it is the size that needs to be taken into account when casting the required loops. The main thing is that the number is odd. We also must not forget that when knitting (regardless of the row), the first loop is always removed, and the last one is knitted purl-wise.
It is better to start knitting leopards on 2 knitting needles (the description is simple) with wool yarn in 2 folds . You will need:
- yarn - 100 g;
- knitting needles number 3.
Cast on 13 sts and knit 8 rows using the rasp pattern. Further:
- 9 r: selvedge, 5 sts in garter stitch, yarn over, knit, yarn over again, 5 sts in garter stitch, edging;
- turn over to the wrong side, follow the pattern, knitting the yarn overs crossed;
- in the front rows, knit a yarn over “before” and “after” garter stitch, thereby expanding the fabric until 39 stitches appear on the knitting needles;
- count 9 loops in the middle (this will be the toe), to do this, knit: 15 stitches, 2 stitches together, unfold the fabric, knit 8-10 stitches, 2 stitches together, turn the product over. Knit in this way until only 9 main stitches remain on the knitting needles in the center;
- then cast on 18 stitches along the edge on both sides of the fabric. 45 stitches should be formed on the knitting needles, with the calculation that the last 1 is the edge stitch;
- 5 p. scarf, purl, 4 p. tourniquet, 21 knits;
- purl, 4 harness loops, purl, 5 plates, edge;
- knit forward and backward, shifting the pattern every fourth row.
Knit 38-40 r, leaving 2 sts on an additional needle. When knitting the strands in the next purl row, pick up 2 reserve loops, knitting according to the pattern.
Knit the heel as well as the toe. Next, knit another 8 p. garter stitch, then bind off the stitches according to the pattern.
The result is a very nice model. You can add bows or add original beads.

Required tools and materials
To knit slippers with knitting needles, you need to prepare the following tools:
- Classic straight or double needles of a suitable number. The number of knitting needles is determined by the thickness of the yarn. Usually the recommended number of knitting needles is indicated on the label of the skein of yarn. If the knitter does not have such information, you should choose knitting needles that are approximately 1 mm thicker than the thread. For knitting house shoes, knitting needles from 3.5 mm to 6 mm are usually suitable.
- Knitting needle with a blunt tip for sewing knitted items.
- Colored markers for counting rows and dividing knitting fabrics.
- A hook of the same number as the knitting needles or one number thinner for tying the free edge of the tracks and for decoration.
- Measuring tape for determining size and calculating knitting density. When taking measurements, it is important to correctly position the tape relative to the foot.
It is best to choose wool blend or acrylic yarn for knitting slippers; it is voluminous, soft and more wear-resistant than pure wool. If desired, you can add silk thread during the knitting process.
Such tracks will be more durable and will not stretch during wear.
For the warm season, you can knit slippers from yarn with the addition of bamboo fibers or viscose. One pair of such house shoes, size 36-39, will require approximately 70-100 g of yarn.

The work consists of knitting two parts - an inner red one and an outer one, which are then sewn together.
Instructions:
- On 2 knitting needles with green thread you need to cast on 30 loops and knit 35 rows in stockinette stitch.
- Next, you should cast on 10 more loops and distribute all the loops onto 4 knitting needles, 10 stitches on each. You need to continue knitting in a circle. You need to knit 25 circular rows.
- After this, you need to start decreasing the loops to form the toe. In an even circle. Rows should be knitted 2 stitches together. at the beginning of each knitting needle until there are 2 loops left on the knitting needle - 8 stitches in total.
- The loops need to be pulled together, the thread brought inside the trace and secured.
- Using a red thread, you need to knit exactly the same part, put it in the green upper part of the slipper and sew it together, and also sew the heel seam.
- The free edge can be crocheted with yellow thread. Decorate the inside of the sole with black yarn, imitating watermelon seeds.
Loop calculation
The number of loops that need to be cast on the knitting needles is equal to the measurement of the circumference of the foot, multiplied by the knitting density and divided by 2, since first we knit half of the trail: 23 x 2.2 / 2 = 25.3 ≈ 25 loops.
The upper part of the footprint to the toe is equal to the foot length measurement minus the foot circumference divided by 2.
Foot length - Foot circumference / 2 = 24 - (23/2) = 24 - 11.5 = 12.5 cm.
To determine the number of rows, the resulting value must be multiplied by the vertical knitting density (PV): 12.5 x 3 = 37.5 ≈ 38 rows.
You can see the measurements depending on shoe sizes and age (for children) in the table: adult sizes, children's sizes.
Footprints for men
To create another version of men's house slippers you will need:
- yarn of two colors (≈250-300 g);
- straight knitting needles without stoppers, size No. 3, 3.5;
- hook, size No. 3;
- marker pin, ruler, scissors.
Work progress, step-by-step instructions:
- Cast on 8 stitches and knit 16 rows in garter stitch. The result should be a square 6x6 cm.
- After this, you need to cast on 19 stitches on the knitting needle and knit another 16 rows with garter stitch.
- Cast on 9 stitches on the left, and cast on 9 stitches on the right (see diagram above).
- Then knit another 16 rows in garter stitch. The result should be a detailed track layout (see diagram above, left).
- Next, the workpiece needs to be folded correctly and crocheted. To do this, bend the left square upward and connect the edges with a crochet hook and single crochet stitches using the crab step technique.
- In the same way, you need to bend the upper right square and continue crocheting.
- To decorate the heel, you need to fold the bottom square of the layout, crochet the parts, make a tack and cut the working thread. The end result should be such a beautiful trail (see photo below).
If it is possible to choose a color for men's tracks, then the best option for mating can be considered combinations - brown plus beige, black plus yellow (or burgundy), green plus lemon (or white).
Sleds on two knitting needles - the easiest option
The version of women's leotards presented below is extremely simple to knit.
To make such tracks, you don’t need a complex scheme for removing and adding loops - it’s just a solid knitted fabric with a simple pattern of two contrasting threads. The layout of the heel is a large semicircle of transverse shortened rows, knitted in garter stitch. For knitting you need to prepare:
- 2 skeins of threads of different colors (≈250 g);
- 2 straight knitting needles without stoppers, size No. 3, 3.5;
- marker pin;
- ruler, stitching needle, scissors.
Knitting is done in this way:
- Cast on 25 stitches on the needles.
- 1st, 2nd row knit 25 stitches with black thread.
- 3 r. – 20 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 4th row.
- 5, 6 r. – black thread 25 p.
- 7 rub. – 15 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 8th row.
- 9, 10 rub. – black thread 25 p.
- 11 rub. – 10 stitches with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 12th stitch.
- 13, 14 r. – black thread 25 p.
- 15 rub. – 15 p. with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 16th p.
- 17, 18 r. – black thread 25 p.
- 19 rub. – 20 p. with red thread, turn the work over and knit the 20th p.
- Next, the knitting pattern should be repeated from row 5 until the desired volume of the footprint on the instep of the foot (inner semicircle).
- Fold the finished track in half, find the middle of the outer semicircle and mark it with a marker. From this place, sew both halves of the heel and the heel with a knitted seam.
It will be very nice if at the end of long contrasting rows you attach small, simple flowers of the same color, perhaps one or two rows later.
In order for the tracks to look more impressive, the color contrast should be bright, with a classic combination of shades.
For children
Any mother can master a simple way to knit slips on two knitting needles for babies. Unlike house slippers, slippers will stay on your feet well, and mothers won’t have to worry about their child suddenly catching a cold. For knitting choose:
- knitting needles (no. 3−4);
- natural wool threads - 100 g.
Cast on 36 stitches, divide the knitting into 3 parts: knit 12 stitches, purl 1, knit 10, purl 1, knit 12.
Knit at a height of 15 cm, then with an elastic band (1 knit, 1 purl) 9-10 cm. In the next row, knit together purl every 2 loops, thereby reducing the number of loops by 2 times. Turn the knitting over. Repeat identical steps. Pull the thread, hide the knots (using a hook).
The tracks are ready. All that remains is to complement them on top with patterns of braids, flowers, bows made of multi-colored yarn.
Elegant two-tone footwear
You can knit an interesting pattern just by alternating contrasting colors. Perform the following actions:

- cast on 25 loops;
- the first 2 rows are knitted with a completely dark thread;
- in the next line, knit 20 loops with a light thread, turn the work, knit the next row;
- the next pair of lines is made with dark yarn;
- in the 7th row, 15 stitches are knitted in a light color, the work is turned, and the next row is knitted;
- the next pair of lines is again made with dark yarn;
- then they act by analogy, achieving the desired height of the thing;
- the finished semi-finished product is folded in half, a seam is made along the foot, and the heel is formed.
For work, take any 2 matching contrasting colors: black and white, pink and blue, purple and yellow.
No seams
You will need medium-thick yarn, knitting needles No. 3. The pattern for knitting tracks on two knitting needles without seams is as follows. Cast on 51 sts, knit the first and last stitch in the row - purl the edge stitch in each row:
- 1 rub. — 23 rubber loops. (1x1), yo-knit. (2 times), yarn over, 23 loops with elastic band;
- 2 r. - 23 loops with elastic band, 7 p. purl, 23 with elastic band;
- 3 r. - 23 rubber band, yarn over, knit 3, yarn over, then knit 1, yarn over again, knit 3, yarn over, 23 rubber band;
- 4 rub. - 23 with an elastic band, 11 p., 23 again with an elastic band;
- 5 rub. - 25 with an elastic band, yarn over, 5 knits, yarn over again and knits again, yarn over, 25 again with an elastic band;
- 6 rub. - 20 with an elastic band, 15 p., 23 again with an elastic band;
- 7 rub. — 23 rib, yarn over, knit 7. (2 times), yarn over again, 23 with an elastic band;
- 8 rub. — 23 rubber, 19 purl, 23 elastic.
Continue until all loops are removed. You should end up with 2. Pull the thread. Knit the other track without seams in the same way.
Colored footprints for a boy
The next master class will tell you about knitting shoes for an eight-year-old boy.
We will not describe the work process in detail, because it coincides with the previously discussed technique in this lesson. Let's look at this only in general terms:
- Knit the product using the main pattern: in the first row, remove the edge stitch, then rapport*yo, 2 LPs, and pull them through the yarn over*, repeat the repeat. The second row is performed only by individual entrepreneurs. Repeat the first and second rows.
- For a colored pattern, change the shade of the thread after 2 rows.
- Cast on 60 loops + 2 edge stitches, and knit 6 rows with a hollow elastic band. In the seventh row, increase the number of loops to 42.
- Work the main pattern for 6 rows, then divide into 3 parts, 16 from the edges, and 10 in the center. Slip the outer loops onto pins and continue knitting on 10 middle toes to the middle of the thumb (20 rows).
- Move the previously left loops from the pins onto the knitting needle. Cast on 16 toe edge stitches. Then add 10 toe stitches, again 16 edge stitches, and another 16 from the pin. There are 74 loops on the needles. Knit 8 rows to the required width of the heel.
- Then move to the sole, decreasing the loops from the side parts until 3 pieces remain.
- Remove the first one, then knit 2 LPs together and pull them through the removed one.
- There is one loop left, then remove the yarn, pull it through this loop, and hide the tip.
Decor ideas
If you have already knitted simple footwear for yourself, then we suggest decorating them a little:
- Crochet an outline with contrasting thread and thread a thin ribbon through as shown in the photo to tie a cute bow in front.
- If you know how to not only knit, but also embroider, then you can decorate your footprints with beautiful flowers made from multi-colored woolen threads.
- Two-color knitting already looks bright and elegant, but small pom-poms will add playfulness to your home look.
- And if you want the footprints to serve as slippers and last longer, sew ordinary felt insoles to the soles. This can be done with a large needle or crochet hook. To work with the hook, you will need to make a number of holes around the perimeter of the insole.
Children's crocheted footprints
When a needlewoman knits, she puts her soul into her work. What to do when a snowstorm is blowing outside the window, and your heart demands spring? That's right, crochet spring baby footprints.
For work we prepare:
- 100g wool blend yarn;
- hook No. 2.5;
- scissors;
- 2 beads;
- satin ribbon 5 mm wide;
- bobbin yellow thread;
- needle
The footprints are designed for a child's leg 21-22 cm long.
Please note that yarn should be chosen without lurex so that it does not prick the baby’s foot. To knit a heel, it is better to add a nylon thread to the main yarn. This will strengthen the product and allow you to wear it longer.
We will knit the slips with double crochets. We cast on 4 VPs with a lilac thread, connect the PS and begin knitting in circular rows
Before the first row we make 2 VP lifts, which we will count as 1 SSN.
1r. – 12 dc, ending with a half-column
2 rub. – 2VP lifting, in the st-to-prev. row, where we knitted the lifting air loops, we knit another SSN. Next We perform 1 sc in the first row with 1 sc in the second row. We knit in a 2:1 ratio, alternating knitting techniques. IN
When the 2nd row is ready, the shape of the product will change noticeably.
3 rubles - performed similarly to the 2nd, starting with 2 VP lifting.
Here the ratio will already be 2:1:1, due to which the toe of the footprint will be formed. As a result, in 3 rubles. should be 24 dc
4r. – we do the same as the previous ones, but with a ratio of 2:1:1:1. We get 30 items at the output.
5 rub. – 2:1:1:1:1 and 36 stitches.
6-8r. – we knit double crochet stitches without increments.
9-10r - change the color of the thread to pink and continue knitting.
11 rub. – again take the purple thread and knit 36 stitches.
12-13 r. – perform with pink thread without changes.
If the child has a chubby leg, in the 6th row you should knit in the ratio 2:1:1:1:1:1.
14 rub. – we leave 11 stitches unknitted, and knit the remaining 25 stitches with double crochet. Using a purple thread, we perform 2 more incomplete circular rows.
Next, we knit with pink yarn to the required length. It is better to make the slippers 1-1.5 cm shorter than the length of the foot, because during wearing they will stretch a little. When the product reaches the desired length, the edges must be sewn together in the heel area. This can be done using a needle or hook.
We tie the edge of the recess for the leg with pink thread. Let's move on to making the decoration. We collect a chain of 4 VPs
We close it in a ring and perform 10 sc. Next, we dial 2 VP lifting
In the st, from which the VP comes, we make 3 dc. We count these chain loops as 1 dc. As a result, it turns out that for 1 petal you need to knit 4 DCs.
Next We perform a double chain stitch and then alternate 4 double chain stitches with 1 double chain stitch.
The result should be a flower of 5 petals. To make it voluminous, we knit the bottom row from VP
We do 7 VP
We turn the flower over with the wrong side up, insert the hook into the PS between the petals and through the 1st stitch. Pull the thread from the hook.
This is how it looks from the faces. sides
Under each petal we knit a chain of VP, after which we tie it with a DC. There should be 9 columns, after which we make a PS and move on to the next chain.
This is such a beautiful flower you should get
All that remains is to attach it to our tracks
There is nothing better than hand-knitted items for your children. Such things convey the warmth and love of mother's hands, which is so important for our kids.
Simple but important tips
To better hold the slippers on your feet, you can sew ribbons on the sides. To create some kind of massage on the soles, you can knit footprints with a ribbed pattern. To avoid stretching the edges of the tracks, it is advisable to crochet them. To make slippers last a long time, it is better to knit them in 2 threads, adding durable synthetic for the heel.
Slippers are considered a middle product between slippers and socks, since they do not have a hard sole and the fit is low. Handmade products always turn out warm and cozy. They will definitely come in handy in winter frosts for all family members. Taking into account simple tips and reading master classes (step-by-step instructions), even novice needlewomen will be able to cope with the work.
Openwork with additional ties
You will need knitting needles No. 4, 2 green buttons, and green moss yarn. You need to start knitting with a ribbon. Knitting is done with knit stitches, and the heel, sole and toe will turn out ribbed if you knit with an elastic band alternately - knit 2, purl 2. When working, follow the instructions:
- for the future tie, you need to cast on 6 stitches, knit 60 rows of faces. satin stitch;
- add another 13 stitches in each row on both sides to make 32 loops;
- increase the number of loops by 2 times to get 64 loops;
- knit 1 row of knits;
- knit with rib up to 16 cm up;
- then - knit, knitting 2 stitches together in the first row;
- decrease 13 sts on both sides so that you get 6 sts on the knitting needles;
- knit up another 6 rows;
- make a loop, for which you knit 2 stitches together, knit, yarn over, k2. (this will be the place for the button);
- knit 3 more rows of knits. P;
- bind off the remaining loops.
All that remains is to give the shoes with ties a stable shape. Fold the cut part in half. Cross the ribbons over each other touching the left edge of the slipper. Sew the ribbon to the right edge in a composition of facial loops, which will be the front seam. Sew a button. Knit the second track in the same way. The original and warm model of footwear for daily wear on cold days is ready.
