To this end, the baby's leg is first measured, and then a sample measuring approximately 10 by 10 cm is knitted from the selected yarn. Next, the number of loops per the same 10 cm of length, i. E. the density of knitting, and with this account they recruit them already for pinets. For convenience, it is better to draw a diagram, as shown in the photo. With her booties marshmallows for beginners to knit will be much easier. Materials and tools will require:

* Needle - for stitching parts; 

*knitting needles number 3,5 - 2 pieces; 

*yarn of the primary color - 1 skein of 100% acrylic;

* yarn of contrasting color - 1 skein of 100% acrylic.

 Approximate number of rows of half of the cloth depends on the size of the baby's leg. It is also determined by taking into account its age. The following dependence is obtained:

*0-3 months - 45 rows;

*3-6 months - 53 rows;

* 6-9 months - 61 rows.

2-The second and subsequent series up to 61 perform all in the same scarf technique.
3-On the 62nd row you need to close 8 loops. To do this, 2 knit together, then get them to put them back on the spoke, again tie the two together. So until until 8 pieces are closed.
4-Next, enter the second yarn, as shown in the photo, perform it 4 rows of facial smoothness. Then go back to the main color, tie as much, but already with the wrong loops. To execute so 6 stripes of each color, i.e. there will be only 12 of them.
5-Garnish to sew the short side to the long, tighten, fix the thread.
6-Next, sew the bottom of the pinetochki, and pull off the striped sides. Tear, tie up and hide the thread.
