Knitting for young children is a pleasure. Caps, blouses, pants and other knitted things that you make with your own hands will not only warm your baby, but also "transfer" your energy, which is also important for a child.
Necessary
- - yarn
- - knitting needles or crochet
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a model for a future product, you need to adequately assess your capabilities. Novice needlewomen are advised to choose a simpler model, having familiarized themselves with the designation of abbreviations. The cap can be knitted or crocheted. When owning any of the listed tools, it is better to use your skills.
Step 2
Mothers usually know the volume of a baby's head, but children grow quickly, so it is worth measuring it with a centimeter. If the figures specified in the instructions do not match, the circuit will need to be modified to fit the required dimensions.
Step 3
Due to the fact that thermoregulation is poorly established in young children, caps are usually knitted from natural cotton or woolen threads of one or more colors. The thickness of the knitting needles or hook, the so-called No., is selected according to the thickness of the yarn.
Step 4
It is quite easy to knit a children's cap according to the already selected scheme. Usually, when using a crochet, the headdress is knitted from the base. First, an air loop is made, from which the single crochet is knitted, then, in accordance with the instructions and the size of the child's head, the product itself is knitted in a spiral, adding loops. Having reached the size of the head volume, then you should knit without adding loops, until the required height of the cap is tied.
Step 5
It is easier to make a cap with knitting needles. Build a pattern first. As a template, you can use an old bonnet of the appropriate size, cut at the seams. Guided by the pattern, knit the workpiece. Then sew it with seams outward.
Step 6
Tie the finished cap with contrasting threads, decorate with decorative elements, knit or sew strings. It is best to wash the bonnet with baby detergents before use.
