Warm envelope
The materials that are necessary for knitting a simple warm blanket are easy to pick up. The main thing is that the yarn should be natural, hypoallergenic, not prickly or fall off. The baby should be warm and comfortable. Any envelopes for discharge for newborns, knitted by hand or machine, should be comfortable. The composition of the threads is always indicated on the label, manufacturers often specifically designate yarn for knitting for children as “baby” or baby soft.
To tie such an envelope for a newborn with knitting needles, schemes are not needed. An envelope is knitted on 4 knitting needles in a circle, the 5th knitting needle is a working one.
Yarn - 100% merino thread, knitting needles - from 20 numbers.
Knitting begins with a set of 20 loops and distributing them on 4 knitting needles. It turns out 5 loops per needle. There are no hem loops in circular knitting. In order not to get confused, the first loop is marked with a marker. Having reached the marker, making a circle, they understand that the series is completed.
After tying 15 rows, 8 loops are closed and they continue to be knitted on two knitting needles with classic rotary knitting. So they knit with a front smooth surface another 10 rows. At the end, the last row is closed and the sides of the rectangular valve, obtained at the top, are sewn from the wrong side.
Summer envelope
You can tie an envelope in which the child will not feel hot in the summer, according to the openwork pattern.
The diagram shows the classic conventions:
- The vertical dash is the front loop.
- Circle - yarn.
- Lambda to the right - the front loop knits two loops together with a bias to the right side.
- Lambda to the left side - two loops are knitted one together with a bias to the right side.
- Omega is a crossed loop knitted with a facial loop.
- A sign that looks like a video camera looking down to the right is knitted with a crossed front loop at the same time 2 loops, while making a tilt to the left. For knitting, the first loop of the front crossed is removed, the second must be tied with the usual front loop, and then stretch through that loop the one that was removed earlier;
- A sign that looks like a video camera looking down to the left - with a crossed face loop, knit two front loops with an inclination to the right side. For knitting, the first loop is removed from the knitting needle, then the second is removed from the rear wall, then the second and first need to be hooked with the left knitting needle and then transferred to the left knitting needle. After that, knit together the loops for the front walls.
- The blue cell is “no loop”. It should be understood that there is no loop - this is an indication that it is necessary to start knitting the next element according to the scheme - the yarn, the front or another loop. This is due to the fact that the scheme refers to patterns in which the number of loops in a row varies.
Only facial rows are described in the diagram; in the wrong loops are knitted according to the figure.
If you manage to figure out how to knit a pattern, you get an openwork pattern that is perfect for a summer envelope.
To knit an envelope, you need to knit a fabric with a width of 50 cm and a height of 110 cm. The pattern report is 22 loops and 30 rows. Side tracks consist of 3 loops and 4 rows. After calculating the density of knitting, gain the required number of loops and knit according to the scheme.
Having reached the required length, the loops of the latter are glad to close. The side seams are sewn with a knitted seam - it holds its shape well, it will not stretch. The product is turned on the front side and steamed so that the yarn takes a three-dimensional shape.
Simple summer envelope
Summer envelopes for discharge for newborns do not have to be openwork.
An unusual envelope looks good in simple loops that do not distract from the shape of the canvas.
Such an envelope is knitted with thin knitting needles of the front or garter stitch. The height of the product should be equal to the height of the child + 25 cm for the formation of a cape on the head, and the width - 3.5 girths of the body - about 70 cm.
A rectangle is knitted, the length and width of which correspond to the measured parameters. Then it is necessary to tie a strip 3 cm wide and 50 cm long. It will act as a belt, which fixes the envelope. When the strip is ready, it is sewn to the corner on the right side.
The kid is wrapped in such an envelope, as if in a cocoon, and bandaged with a belt.
Envelope with a pattern of rhombuses
Summer envelopes for discharge for newborns look easy and airy if knitted from cotton yarn with thin knitting needles. In them, the child’s body breathes, the baby is warm and comfortable. Cotton yarn holds its shape well, so lace patterns are knitted from it.
Symbols in the diagram:
- + - the front loop (in the wrong row to connect the wrong one);
- point - the wrong loop (in the wrong row, knit the front one);
- 0 - yarn (in the wrong row - wrong);
- a triangle with a slope to the right side - knit two loops simultaneously with a slope to the right side;
- a triangle with an inclination to the left side - like the previous one, only an inclination to the opposite, left side.
Envelope of motives
Envelopes for discharge for newborns, knitted from motifs, look unusual and beautiful.
First you need to choose the motive from which the envelope will be knitted. Then you need to tie the test sample. The sample must be washed, dried and steamed - the yarn after heat treatment can behave unpredictably, which will affect the appearance and size of the product.
Then, based on the obtained parameters, a pattern is drawn. It is a rectangle made up of motifs. On the pattern, you need to calculate how many motives you need to knit to get the product of the required size. For a children's envelope you will need 100 motifs measuring 10 x 10 cm + 25 motifs to process the hood.
When all the parts are connected, the parts are first stitched together, and then the fabric is laid out and stapled like a regular envelope. Those. the lower corner of the rectangle is sewn on the sides to the right and left sides, and a few more motifs are sewn on the upper corner to make a visor.
