It is necessary
- - yarn;
- - knitting needles;
- - knitting pattern.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick up the yarn before you knit. To do this, several factors must be taken into account. Firstly, babies often get dirty, so use threads for knitting that can tolerate frequent washing. Secondly, the yarn should not be stiff and prickly. The ideal option for knitting warm clothes for babies is alpaca wool or merino yarn. But if you want the item to last longer, then use acrylic threads or a blended yarn of wool and acrylic. For knitting summer clothes, natural cotton threads are suitable.
Step 2
Select knitting needles depending on the thickness of the yarn for knitting. Manufacturers usually indicate this information on the roll label. If you knit thin yarn with thick knitting needles, then the fabric will turn out to be loose, on the contrary, if you knit thick yarn with thin threads, then the knitting will turn out to be dense and rough.
Step 3
To find the perfect knitting needles for your yarn, always pre-knit the pattern. He will help you make the correct calculations for the typesetting row. Tie 10x10 cm, count the number of loops in the sample, divide it by the number of centimeters. This will give you the number of loops in one centimeter. Next, multiply your measurements by this size, and you get the required number of loops for a set. Make similar patterns for each pattern you choose.
Step 4
A very important factor in knitting clothes for babies is its safety. Children have small fingers that can easily get tangled in the sleeve of a sweater or sweater. Therefore, avoid using braid or lace. If you want to knit a multi-colored product, then when you change threads for the next color, try to hide all the knots. But it is still better to knit a solid color product or use melange yarn.
