Knitted children's things - a fashion trend of our time

Recently, hand knitting has become very popular. Many mummies create knitted baby things on their own or order them from experienced craftsmen. Although it is not so difficult to learn this needlework. Buy educational literature with step-by-step drawings and try to connect, for example, a scarf. Before you start knitting, you need to learn to understand the yarn. Consider yarn for children's things. In shops for needlework you will find skeins marked "Baby" or "Baby". At once we will tell, what to give preference only such yarn is not necessary. It happens that the mark stands, and the thread to the touch - unpleasant and pricked. Make purchases based on your feelings, and add a little knowledge to them.

Firstly, for knitted children's things to be soft and pleasant for the body, you need to know the basic rule. Threads should be of three main components: acrylic, merino wool and cotton. Cotton threads do not cause allergies, and this is important. And if you think that they are not capable of warming in winter, then you are mistaken. Of course, they are far away from wool, but still they are better than synthetics. Acrylic is a synthetic thread, so it's not worth using it in its pure form.

If you have decided that you will knit children's knitted things with knitting needles, give preference to the combined yarns. The most suitable composition is merino wool + acrylic, 50% cotton + 50% acrylic. It is from yarns with such ingredients that the most delicate, soft and pleasant to the touch are obtained.

Children's clothing is divided into three main groups: up to three years old, over three years old and for teenagers. Such a division is based on the fact that during these periods, the children's lifestyle and body structure are very different. For example, the most soft yarn and the easiest cut are used for babies. And for older ones, you need to use stronger threads.

Patterns for children up to three years old are the simplest. Basically, these are the rectangles for the transfer and the backrest and the trapezoid for the leg or sleeve. For such babies, use better knitting needles, since crocheted baby crochet products are somewhat rougher.

For other children, stick to the size range that corresponds to the growth and age of the child. For example, if the child is 2 years old, and his height is 92 cm, then he has 26 size. But it is worth considering that all children develop differently. Therefore, it is best to use ready-made clothing as a guide. And if the child is full, then the pattern should be bigger by the size.

As for the very technique of knitting, then even for babies, observe the basic rules. It is necessary to tie up (decorate) the neck, to qualitatively trim the bottom of the product, to make holes for the buttons and so on. Knitted children's clothes should be made of bright, juicy yarn. For teens, the details are removed, as for adults, but they are made out with a wide variety. You can use flounces, spirals, ruches, tassels, fringe and the like. You can do jacquard patterns, bind patterns in the form of machines, animals, flowers, cartoon characters, fairy tales and so on. Patterns and patterns of knitting are in special magazines. There you will find detailed descriptions of what yarn to use, and in what quantity. And you can turn to the Internet, on its vast spaces you will find a lot of useful information. For example, on thematic forums, you can share experiences or ask for advice. There are a lot of options. From you only desire and desire to master this kind of needlework is required.
