Instruction
1. Choose yarn of the suitable texture and color. Is most practical to use dense, but soft thread from mix of wool or cotton with polyester. If your dog wears a sweater, overalls or a cap, pick up the threads which are in harmony with a dress. Not bad also contrast combinations look – for example, the bright red overalls can be added with black bootees. Large short-haired dogs very elegantly look in boots from the threads coinciding on tone with a shade of their wool. Do not choose too light shades – bootees very quickly will become dirty.
2. Make a simple pattern. Put a dog paw on the sheet of paper and circle it with a pencil. Measure a grasp of a paw and its height to a skakatelny joint. Write down all sizes and get to work.
3. It is the simplest to knit bootees a hook. Gather a chain of air loops. Length has to correspond to a grasp of a paw plus one-two centimeters on free fitting. Close a chain in a ring and knit columns without nakid. Length of the turned-out pipe has to be equal to the desirable height of a bootee. Do not do it too short, otherwise the dog will throw off footwear.
4. Having finished work, fix thread, having tied it a small knot. Being verified with a pattern, connect a sole in the form of a circle. Begin from the center and expand a circle, knitting from each loop of the previous row two columns without nakid. A ready sole attach to the top part of a bootee, obvyazyvav both details a hook. That footwear was densely fixed on a paw, pass through a narrow tape or a lace in the top part.
5. If you are not able to knit a hook, use needles. Scrupulously it is not obligatory to calculate loops – the ready bootee should not assess a paw, it is fixed by means of a fastener or a tie. Connect a rectangle which length is equal to a grasp of a paw plus two centimeters on fitting, and width – height of future bootee. Sew a ready detail that the pipe turned out.
6. Make a sole of skin or waterproof fabric – then in bootees it will be possible to walk in slush. Having used a sole pattern, cut out details, having left an allowance for seams in half-centimeter. Collect a bootee, pristrochiv a sole to the top part. Make a seam external that it did not rub to a dog a paw. Sprain the top part of a top in the form of a drawstring, hem it and pull through the linen elastic band fixing footwear.
