A future mother always takes care of her baby in advance, trying to prepare as much as possible for his birth. In addition to buying clothes, bottles and diapers, she can knit something herself. And it will be the best gift for a newborn, because it is made with love. Knitting children's costumes is a great activity for a pregnant woman, because it helps to brighten up the waiting time for the little one.

Knitting needles and hook: what to choose?

In order for the product for the baby to be practical, some features of children's clothing must be taken into account in the manufacture. And first of all, pay attention that the product should be put on easily and quickly so as not to disturb the baby.

Children's costumes are knitted using knitting needles and crochet, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Knitted items will be very soft and elastic.

Crochet a children's costume implies that it will turn out to be of an unusual shape and with an openworkpattern.

You should choose a children's model, taking into account the experience. If the needlewoman has recently started knitting, it is better to pay attention to simple children's costumes. A little later, you can move on to more complex options, because experience is gradually accumulating.

What should a child's costume look like?

All of the above should be considered before knitting. Children's costumes up to a year old babies should be:

1. Hypoallergenic. Yarn should be chosen high-quality, natural, which will not cause allergies. Poor-quality threads may contain fibers of synthetic origin, which are not suitable for a small child, especially for a newborn. It is better that the composition of the threads be mixed: natural fibers with microfiber or acrylic. If you choose only cotton, then the thing will turn out to be harsh, and if you choose wool, redness and itching may occur. By the way, it is acrylic that is most often chosen for knitting children's things, it is ideal if you need to make a warm product for a baby.

2. Comfortable. If a mother started knitting a baby costume with knitting needles (up to a year old, babies should be comfortable in clothes), she needs to remember that he should not hamper the movements of the crumbs.

3. Soft. Since the skin of the baby is very delicate, the yarn should be chosen soft, not prickly. Additional elements in the form of fasteners or buttons should also not interfere with the baby.

Moms should pay attention to the seams: they should not be rough. Shovchiki can rub the skin of the child, because he eventuallybegins to move actively. Therefore, it is better to knit without seams or make them safe.

Knitting machines "Severyanka" are considered quite popular. Working on them makes it possible to create a knitted product with the most common pattern - a satin stitch. This means that on the one hand all the loops will be facial, on the other - purl.
