Every time before you go to visit them, you decide what to give the child.

You should not choose complex patterns, children's things look great using simple patterns. Pay more attention to the color of the product and its finish.

How to choose yarn for knitting

Choosing yarn for children'sthings, you should remember a few simple rules.

• For summer things, try to use cotton threads. If viscose is added to the composition, then in the sun the finished product will gleam very beautifully. It will not be hot, and the risk of overheating of the child will be minimized.
• Do not choose dark or faded shades of yarn. Always remember that this product will be worn by a girl, so it is better to buy cheerful colors: pink, blue, white, lilac … Ideally, if you also take into account the preferences of the child when choosing yarn. Let's say she likes the color blue. Well, let the new thing be, if not pure blue, then, for example, white and blue!
• If you decide to crochet a summer sundress for a girl, then carefully read the inscriptions on the package. There must be at least 400 meters of thread per 100 grams of yarn in a skein. Otherwise, the thing will turn out thick, and the child will be uncomfortable.

How to choose a model

If you are just starting your knitting journey, then you should not immediately try to knit a thing with a complex pattern and silhouette. Let's say you decide to crochet a sundress. For a girl, you can make a simple model, and then decorate it with flowers from the same or suitable quality yarn. In the center of each flower, sew a beautiful bead or several pieces of beads. And if glass beads or shiny pebbles are carelessly scattered on the shoulder or around the neck, then not a single girl can resist such beauty! Of courseyou need to observe the measure in everything and not overdo it with decorations…

You can also knit a sundress using the "tatting" technique. To do this, prepare various motifs in advance, for example, flowers, leaves or berries.
