To date, in the demi-season period, knitted coats have found great popularity. They are extremely comfortable to wear, soft, warm and have a completely different shape and texture. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a thing from adult fashion smoothly flowed into children's fashion. Many mothers can regularly create a unique knitted coat for their daughters, or they can buy coats in children's fashion stores.
How to choose
You need to choose a knitted coat for a girl based on the preferences of the child and the functions for which it is bought or knitted. If you need a thing for warmth and everyday wear, then you should pay attention to warmer things with a high content of wool.They will keep warm and shape better. If you need a thing for cool summer evenings, then you can take lighter models.
For children, it is important that outerwear does not interfere with them to play and run, so girls most often get flared models and not very long ones. A knitted coat can be safely taken one or two sizes larger, since rolled up sleeves, as a rule, do not spoil the look of the thing.
Popular styles and models
A knitted coat for a girl can be warm, voluminous, or maybe thin and light. Knit such things in different ways, crochet, knitting needles, typewriter. There are a lot of ways to knit patterns today. This is a simple knitting and volumetric patterns and a variety of braids and contours.
The styles of knitted coats for girls, as well as for adult women, are very diverse. There are elongated models, below the knee, and sometimes to the floor. Although it will be difficult for a child to walk in such a thing, it is better that the maximum length of the coat is above the ankle. The classic length of outerwear for girls is the length to the knee. Then it will be warm, and the coat will not interfere with the movement.
Particular attention should be paid to models with raglan sleeves. Shoulders and sleeves knitted in a single fabric create a soft and flowing effect. The shoulder line is not expressed as brightly as in the classic version, which gives femininity to the whole image.
If the coat is designed for warm weather, for example, a summer evening, then a short trapezoidal model will look interesting. Skinny trousers or a flared skirt of the same length can complement the image of a fashionista. Also, for warm enough weather, you can buy or knit a coat-jacket. In children's fashion, jackets came from an adult, adding zest to a child's look.The jacket may have buttons, or there may be no fasteners at all. The most commonly used wide collar with a lapel. Styles of coat-jackets can be fitted, straight, trapezoidal.

In the demi-season, it is very practical to wear a coat with a hood. This is additional protection from cold and wind and from a light drizzle. As a rule, models with a hood have a more classic shape and long sleeves.
Knitted coats can also be fastened in completely different ways. The classic option is buttons. They can be sewn in an even row, or they can be sewn diagonally. The number of buttons can vary from one to eight, creating a harmonious ensemble. Often, hooks are used for knitted things. Their advantage is that they are not visible and do not violate the overall image. Although, before using hooks, you should think about how suitable it is for the child and whether he can fasten them himself.
The easiest way to fasten children's outerwear is, of course, a zipper. If a zipper is used on a knitted children's coat, then, as a rule, it is plastic. This is because the child will not be able to scratch and the threads of the coat will not cling so much. If a metal zipper was added to the thing, then this was done to enhance the rough style. Often these coats are accompanied by leather inserts around the sleeves, pockets or belt.
