How to choose yarn
Every loving mom wants to dress her baby in the most comfortable, convenient and safe clothes. Therefore, it is best to select a special yarn from the lines for children's knitting, which includes acrylic and natural fibers: sheep or merino wool, alpaca wool, mohair, cotton and linen. The range and color range of such yarn is now quite wide.
- On sale there is Russian-made yarn Troitskaya "Children's", which includes 20% merino wool and 80% acrylic, Pekhorskaya "Children's novelty" made of high-quality acrylic. Products made from such yarn are well washed, dry quickly, do not deform and do not shed.
- The name of the Turkish company "NAZAR" is well known to Russian needlewomen. The texture of the Krokha yarn of this manufacturer, similar to a boucle, allows you to use the simplest crochet stitches, front and back loops in knitting, while getting an elegant fabric.
No need to strive to buy pure wool yarn. It can cause allergies or irritation on delicate baby skin. Yarn with scratchy shiny threads is strongly not recommended.When choosing yarn, in order to understand its suitability for knitting, you need to carefully feel the skein with your hands, lightly attach it to your lips. Barbed thread is not suitable for knitting.
Choosing colors and patterns
Clothes for babies are traditionally knitted from threads of light pastel colors. Good natural shades of peach or melon, chicken light yellow, mint, pink, blue, white, lilac.
When knitting children's models, simple patterns are usually used that combine front and back loops. Collages of various knitting motifs are widely used. The combination of longitudinal and transverse directions of knitting looks great in products. Refreshing and revitalizing the finished work is a fun play of stripes from the remnants of yarn in different colors.
How to decorate
The craftswoman's fantasy suggests many options for decorating finished clothes. Cheerful appliques, delicate embroidery, knitted flowers, ribbons, beads, pompoms, cute ears in contrasting colors or in tone with the main knitting organically look on children's things. The main thing is that all decorative elements are securely sewn.
