Instructions
Step 1
Decide whether you want to crochet or knit. A fork for baby clothes is not very suitable, well, unless you decide to knit a small shawl or scarf as an addition to an elegant dress. Openwork patterns with large holes and large braids are not very suitable for children's things. The smaller the child, the simpler the pattern should be.
Step 2
Check out knitting books and magazines. There are many Russian and foreign publications in which exclusively children's things are published. And in the magazine where models for adults are printed, there are sure to be a couple of children's blouses or dresses. As a rule, the designer indicates the thickness of the threads, the number of knitting needles and hooks, a description of the work, a pattern and a diagram. If you have the yarn specified in the instructions, follow the job description. As a result, you will get exactly the same product as in the magazine.

It may also happen that you like the pattern, but you would like to knit it from threads of a different quality. Tie a swatch and see how it looks. It is possible that you will want to look for something else.
Step 4
There are many sites for needlewomen on the Internet. Type in the search engine "Patterns of patterns for knitting children's clothing." You will see several pages of links in front of you. If you use Yandex, sort links by relevance. Go to several sites, links to which are located at the very top of the page. Some sites have diagrams and descriptions of single-color and multi-color patterns. In the latter case, instead of designating different types of loops, a color layout is given.

You can also ask about patterns there. Read the community guidelines carefully and follow them strictly. You can find such a community by specifying "knitting" among your interests in your profile.
