Knitting for children is a great way to show off your creativityyour imagination, experiment with colors and types of yarn. When choosing material for working with "adult" things, for example, for ourselves or our friends, we rarely opt for non-standard material compositions or bright color combinations. Not everyone is lucky enough to work with yarn for knitting children's things or toys, so I suggest knitting a bright, very warm and cozy children's scarf with knitting needles. Please your child, or make a nice gift to a young mother you know.

Knitting a children's scarf

We knit a children's scarf with knitting needles based on a unique master class from Ekaterina Kuryleva.
To begin with, let's choose a warm, soft "plush" one.yarn for knitting children's clothes. Despite its artificial composition, it is absolutely hypoallergenic, does not irritate the skin, does not cause itching, retains heat well, and, which is quite important for children's clothes, is very simple and unpretentious in care. Our
from the yarn "Bambi" from the brand Nazar, rich green color. This color will suit both a boy and a girl. In a skein of 142m / 50g, one will be enough for us to knit a scarf for a child.
Also, we will need a tool that matches the threads, in this case an accessory
No. 4,5.
To decorate in the form of strawberries will need yarnAny composition of red, white and green colors. These can be small glomeruli, which usually remain from the knitting of large things, the use of which is usually very difficult to find. I think every craftsman understands what he's talking about! The template will require cardboard, as well as scissors and a hook.
Our children's scarf has a fastener, so it will fit tightly around the neck, not fall off or twist. You can choose what it will be: hooks, buttons, snaps or velcro.
The pattern in which this scarf is knitted is called"fur". The product is not only very original, but also incredibly warm, because each loop gives additional volume. The pattern is not required for this pattern, just read the description carefully. We begin knitting by casting on 31 loops with knitting needles. In order to knit the fabric using the "fur" technique, cast on an odd number of loops. We knit the entire next row with face loops.

Turn the fabric over and start knittingloops of "fur". We remove the edge loop, insert the knitting needle into the next loop behind the front wall and immediately throw the working thread onto it. Now we wrap the thread around the index and middle fingers in two turns and knit the two resulting loops with the front one.

Next knit stitch (K).Next, we continue the pattern and alternation of the "fur" element and LP to the end of the row. In the next row, we knit all LP behind the front wall. Carefully hold the "fur" loops with your finger and knit LP. We knit a row with purl loops (IP). Again, all LP. Next comes the "fur" row.

We continue knitting the fabric according to the principle:one row of "fur", three rows of stocking stitch. Knit as much in height as you need to completely cover the child's neck. Finally, fold the fabric to get a tight-fitting scarf. Now you need to make a fastener. Here you can sew on several buttons, hooks, or what is even more convenient for an active baby - Velcro.

Let's decorate our scarf with a bright strawberry-shaped pompom.This decorative element is more suitable for a girl, but for a boy, using the same principle, you can make a pompom in the form of a football. Many needlewomen have had to make pompoms with their own hands more than once, but not everyone knows that there is a certain pattern, and if you follow the correct alternation of colors, you can get such an accessory. Such pompoms can be used to decorate any children's clothing: hats, mittens, sweaters. And you can also make pompoms together with children, this activity should especially captivate girls.
Let's start by cutting out two pieces of cardboardtemplate for a pompom. And here is the scheme of winding the yarn. Pass the green thread between the templates, at the end of the work we will fix it to the pompom. We start with the red yarn. We will wind it tightly around the template in two rows.

Now we need white yarn.Make four turns around the template. Now wrap the red thread tightly again in two rows. Make four more turns with white thread. And red yarn again.

Wrap the green yarn around several timesone side of the template. Using a hook, fix the free edges of the threads. The green thread that we initially placed between the templates needs to be pulled toward each other. Using scissors, cut all the turns of the threads from above. Tightly tie the green thread into several knots.

This is the pompom you get.
