Newborn babies should dress in warm, functional clothing. It is very easy to knit things for babies. In addition, they turn out to be warm and very beautiful. The work is not difficult, but there is a lot of pleasure.
It is necessary
Knitting needles, yarns and inspiration
Instructions
Step 1
The yarn should be only natural - woolen or cotton. Better unpainted natural or white. Dyes can be harmful to a newborn baby. For knitting, you need to have two knitting needles. The thickness of the knitting needle should be approximately equal to the thickness of the selected thread.
Before starting work, you need to choose a knitting pattern. It is better to knit children's things with the front satin stitch. (Front rows - front loops, purl rows - purl loops). Then you need to knit a sample, about 20-30 loops wide, 20-30 rows high. Remove this knitted piece from the knitting needle. Crumple it in your hands, stretching it in different directions. Then count the loops, how many loops are in one centimeter.
Step 2
Novice craftswomen are better off starting with a simple model. For example, you can knit a small blanket or a blanket for a baby. To do this, you need to determine what size of the blanket you want to get. We need the following initial data - width and length. To determine the number of loops, the width of the future product in centimeters must be multiplied by the number of loops in one centimeter. You will get the right number of loops. Then knit a straight fabric twice the length of the original size. Close the loops. Steam the resulting canvas with an iron through a linen cloth. Then fold the canvas in half, sew with woolen thread along the edges. You will get a warm, beautiful blanket.
Step 3
Then you can move on to more complex things. A blouse or pants for a baby is also easy to knit. Also, first you need to measure all the details with a centimeter. Length, width of the product, sleeve length. Remember or write down the results obtained. If it is necessary to knit a larger size, a few centimeters are added for all measurements.
You need to start knitting with an elastic band. When knitting, alternate the front and back loops. For an elastic band, it is enough to knit two centimeters. Then the main fabric is knitted. In the process of knitting, it is necessary to apply the knitted fabric to the selected pattern as often as possible, so the detail will be knitted more accurately. After the work is completed, it is necessary to steam all the connected parts through a linen cloth. Sew parts by hand with woolen thread.
