During pregnancy, any future mother wakes up a desire to do something for her child, whether it's a bonnet or booties, and if there are knitting skills, then you can tie whole little suits. For some women, this desire remains unrealized, because of the complete lack of assiduity, skill, because of the lack of time, and other women are more willing to create some kind of children's thing.
Plaid for the newborn
In anticipation of the child, parents buy new clothes for the baby, choose a stroller, prepare the nursery. Many things a future mother can do on her own.
To do this you will need
- Hook;
- 200 grams of yarn.
We select the thread for the rug. Linen, cotton threads, special acrylic yarn for children will suit him. For the rug you need 200 grams of thread. For boys, the best color is blue, for girls, according to tradition, pink is considered the best. But, the children's rug can be tied with any bright color that the future mother will like, or you can pick up the threads to match the color of the children's room - gently-lilac, beige.
If you first picked up a hook, you need to learn some kinds of loops, you can use them when knitting a plaid. We will begin work with the set of chain of air loops. To tie one such loop, tie a knot and stick a hook into it. Hook the thread and thread through the hole in the knot, so we get the first loop.
To tie a chain, let's hook the hook to the loop, hook the working thread and pull it through the 1st loop, so we get the second loop. In this way, we will fasten the air chain, the length that you need. This will be the width of the children's blanket.
The main technique, which we will knit a children's blanket, will be columns with a crochet. To make such a column, we will thread the thread on the hook, let it pass to the next loop, since we did this while tying the air loops, pulling the thread through it. Now there are three loops on the hook, we will connect them in pairs in 2 steps.
We make a chain from the air loops with columns with a crochet, and in each loop we uncoil the column. After we finish the series, we will tie three air loops and begin to knit another row of columns. We are etched until the plaid reaches the desired length. When we finish knitting, we will decorate the plaid with thimbles, we sew on its perimeter lace, we will paste amusing applications.
The second variant of knitting of a children's rug
If you do not have much knitting knowledge, then we'll tie a blanket for a newborn baby, putting in it a trembling expectation and love. To facilitate the work of the rug we will tie the knitting needles, creating small squares, which we can easily join together into a large whole plaid. Having knowledge of a crocheting hook, you can create a refined work, and in your creation weave interesting patterns.
Threads for a plaid fit - linen, cotton, acrylic for children's products, ribbons and laces, they will decorate the ready-made plaid. When choosing a yarn, we take into account where it will be used in the future - for street walks, like a blanket at home, or as a bedspread in a stroller. This children's rug is good for every day.
If the desire and time allows, you can tie several blankets, the main beautiful plaid will be for the delivery room. In the same place, the first photos of the newborn will be made and your relatives will meet you with bouquets of flowers.
