Botosei tricotati, Bootes

Masurile pentru acesti  botosei sunt pentru un bebe intre 6 si 12 luni.
Am inceput sa tricotez cu un fir mai gros , "golden wool" si andrele nr. 3.
Am montat 51 ochiuri pe andrea si am tricotat 5 randuri numai pe fata (jumatate din lungimea celor 51 ochiuri tricotate, reprezinta lungimea labei piciorului. Daca piciorul este mai mare, marim numarul de ochiuri iar daca piciorul este mai lat , marim numarul de randuri).
Dupa tricotarea celor 5 randuri, continuam astfel :
Randul 1. - 21 ochiuri tricotate pe fata,
- 2 ochiuri scazute spre stanga (primul ochi nelucrat, al doilea ochi se lucreaza si ochiul  nelucrat se trece peste cel lucrat, rezultand un singur ochi),
- 5 ochiuri tricotate pe dos,
- 2 ochiuri scazute spre dreapta (se trece andreaua prin cele doua ochiuri ce urmeaza a fi scazute, de la stanga spre dreapta, se ia firul care se trece prin cele doua ochiuri, rezultand unul singur),
- 21 ochiuri tricotate pe fata.
Randul 2  si toate randurile cu sot  se vor lucra cu ochiurile pe dos.

Continuam....

Continuam........
- primul ochi nelucrat, *1 jeteu, 2 ochiuri scazute*, repetam de la *  la*,  pana la sfarsitul randului.
Randul urmator: toate ochiurile pe dos

In final, tricotam 5 randuri numai pe fata, scadem toate ochiurile si incheiem botoselul.
Sau mai putem incheia astfel: "1 ochi pe fata, 1 ochi pe dos", repetam intre " pana la sfarsitul randului.
Repetam randul de mai multe ori in asa fel incat sa putem forma o manseta (10-14 randuri ).

ENGLISH

CO 50 sts.

Knit every row in garter stitch for 2 inches (approx 12 rows).
End with WS facing you .(your choice as to which side will be the WS).
Introduce second color (if desired) and P across row.
K next row, then P next row.
With RS facing, begin first set of decreasing row as follows:

Dec Row Part 1: K18, k2tog 3 times, place marker to designate middle of slipper, k2tog 3 times, K1, turn (turn work around so you are now on the WS or purl side of the slipper).
Dec Row Part 2: P8, turn (turn work around again to RS or knit side of work).
Dec Row Part 3: K8 (you will see a gap), pick up the base of the right needle's last K st and add it to the left needle, now knit the st to the left of this new st with the newly placed st together (this decreases the st you just added, but also fills in the hole that would have been created by the gap). K across remaining sts.

This is the same as Make One (M1) except you are using the wrap at the base of the last K st on the right needle and not picking up a st between the left and right needle. Sounds complicated, but just give it a try. It's not necessary and if you want to skip this step you can. You will have a slight hole on the left side of the slipper for each dec row however.
Next Row: Purl

Repeat the 3 part Dec Row and purl row 3 times more, knitting across to 6 sts before marker, changing colors as desired.

On last Dec Row, inc 1 st at the beginning and end as follows to allow for a larger cuff:

Last Dec Row: K1, inc 1 (k in front and back of next st) to avoid a gap, do the Dec Row as above by knitting to within 6 sts of marker and k2tog 3 times, slip marker, k2tog 3 times, k1, turn.

When you have finished all 3 parts of the last Dec Row, then p1, inc 1 (P in front and back of next st), p across remaining sts (26 sts).

Begin Ribbing:
K1, p1 loosely across for 12 Rows. Bind off loosely.

Sew up cuff, heel, and foot.

If you want you can spray the bottom of the slippers with any nonskid spray that is washable for better traction.
