Mittens for babies: varieties and techniques of knitting

Content


With the onset of winter, mothers take up yarn in order to have time to knit warm mittens, scarves and other winter essentials for their children.
This happens especially quickly for mothers.newborn babies, because such clothes are very tiny, they can be knitted from a minimum number of threads and in a minimum time. But the joy from the result will certainly be maximum. Especially if novice knitters listen to our advice on how to knit mittens for newborn babies - this will help them avoid mistakes where they are not visible at first glance.






Requirements for mittens for newborn babies

Absence of stitches. Sometimes you can find descriptions of these products on two spokes. For newborn children, this is not recommended. Firstly, it will be extremely inconvenient to tinker with the sewing of tiny details, and secondly, the skin of babies is extremely tender, and the seams for it can seem rather rude and crush (therefore, for example, all children's clothes make sutures out). It is better if knitting is performed on 3 or 4 spokes - using one more working knitting.

Absence of seals. The reason is the same - so that nothing presses on the gentle handle. Therefore, it is not necessary to choose the bunched yarn and too textured patterns (including braids).
Lack of decorative details that can be put in the mouth and accidentally swallowed: ribbons, beads, pompoms, tassels, etc.
Important! Do not use fluffy angora and mohair, wool with lurex and polyamide fibers for children's clothes!
Wool for children's mittens
Considering that we knit things for very young children, who put everything into their mouths and have extremely sensitive skin, the yarn for knitting mittens for babies also needs to be selected carefully:

  • It should not be rough or stiff, it should not be pricked;
  • Yarn should not be fluffy;
  • It should not consist of synthetic fibers that can cause allergies;
  • The best option is yarn from alpaca or merino wool with a small addition of artificial fibers. It is light, warm, not piley, almost natural.

Good to know. Many recommend for mittens to newborn children (which knit with knitting needles at all) to perform at the base of the palm a path of crochets and double loops - then to draw in these holes a string that fixes a thing on the baby's handle.
But this is not always justified:

  • Cord can be inadvertently tightened tightly than necessary, which will disrupt the blood circulation in the handle of the newborn;
  • Such an outset children can easily put in the mouth and choke;

During a walk, a weakly tied cord will untie. If the mitten does not lose, then it must be re-tied.

Therefore, it is better to fasten the mittens not to the baby's pens, but to the outer clothing - with the help of buttons and air loops, or as our mothers and grandmothers did - by connecting them with a soft tape.
Models of mittens Their models are quite diverse. In addition to the mittens, which knit knitting needles for newborns (without fingers), for older children knit mittens in the classical way - with the thumb. For them, it is already possible to knit more fantasy models - in the form of animals, fruits, using a more active decor made with knitting needles (or ready-made jewelry), which for these children is no longer so dangerous.

On the stocking knitting needles a small amount is collectedLoops: 32-36, depending on the number of spokes and the thickness of the yarn. First, you need to tie a rubber band 6-7 cm. Then add 1 loop to each spoke and knit another face about 5 cm (you can estimate it by the handle of the baby, knitting should cover the little finger of the little finger). Now you need to perform a reduction to decorate the top of the mitten and close the knitting. To do this, the first three loops on each spoke are tied together (a 4-point reduction is obtained per circle). Continue knitting, while in work there will be no 2 pet., Which close, stretching one into the other. Thread the ends of the threads crocheted. The second article is similar. Mittens for newborns are ready. As you can see, there is nothing complicated, they are performed quickly, materials require a minimum.

For older children - two or more years old - they will need knitting of the thumb. The process of knitting such mittens is shown in detail in the video.

If you look carefully atsequence, then it will not cause any special difficulties: the finger is just one additional step in knitting children's mittens. But all your efforts will be more than rewarded by the joyful smiles of rosy-cheeked kids walking around in warm new clothes.
