Many expectant mothers on maternity leave begin to prepare in advance for the appearance of the baby. They buy clothes, diapers, bonnets, booties - everything that a child will need in the first months of his life.
There is a sign that during gestation in the womb, the baby should not be knitted. However, this is an outdated opinion, and recently more and more future mothers are knitting. What could be nicer than making your own thing the thing your baby will wear? However, it is necessary to adhere to a certain scheme and rules in order to knit pants for the newborn with knitting needles.
Step One: Material Selection
Before proceeding directly to knitting, it is necessary to pick up working tools.
First, decide on the knitting needles. Pants for newborns with knitting needles for stocking are easier to create than with a circular tool. And it’s almost impossible to knit trousers with double knitting needles.
Next, select the yarn. It should be soft and gentle, pleasant to the touch. Imagine that these panties will touch the delicate skin of the baby and, starting from this, acquire thread.
Remember that the working thread should not be thicker than the knitting needles. Their size must be chosen approximately the same.
Step Two: Loop Set
So, we knit with knitting needles for newborn pants.
For a baby from 50 to 60 cm tall, you need to dial 54 loops. If a large child is expected, then do 58-60. Knitting pants for a newborn with knitting is carried out in stages. First one leg is created, then another.
In order to avoid rough seams, knit with a seamless technique. To do this, take stocking knitting needles and dial the number of loops, a multiple of four. After that, divide the typed knitting into all knitting needles evenly. Knit with a double elastic band 3 centimeters.
The third step: knitting the canvas
After the loops are typed and the preliminary gum is connected, proceed to the direct creation of the canvas. If you are a novice master, discard complex patterns. Especially if this is your first difficult job. Knit with facial stitch. In this technique, all the front loops are knitted with the front ones, and the wrong ones are the wrong ones.
Knit pants for babies neatly. Use knitting needles not to pull the thread. Watch the sequence of loops so as not to get confused. From the elastic band, knit 20 centimeters with the front stitch, then transfer the knitting to circular knitting needles.
Proceed to create a second leg. Similarly to the first, dial the required number of loops on the knitting needles and divide them. Knit 3 cm with a double elastic band and begin to knit the fabric. Tie 20 centimeters. Make sure that the number of rows made on the legs is the same and they look symmetrical.
Stitching parts
When your pants for newborns are almost ready, knit them into one job with knitting needles. To do this, transfer the second part to the circular knitting needles where the first leg is located. Next, knit another 10 centimeters with the front stitch, leaving a small hole between the legs.
After that, you need to start creating gum. To do this, transfer the surface to the gum, knitting the next row of 2 front and 2 wrong loops. Knit another 5 centimeters in this style, and then proceed to close the loops. Make sure that the thread is not tightened too much. Close carefully and slowly.
Knotting a gusset
In order to finally complete the work, it is necessary to supplement the knitted pants for newborns. Knit a gusset with knitting needles. It was for her that the cut was left. It is necessary so that the baby could freely chat with his legs and nothing would hamper his movements. Since now most mothers put a baby on a diaper, gusset will come in handy.
To create it, knit a rectangle on two knitting needles with 10 loops. Its length should equal the width and be about 10 centimeters. Knitting should be done with the same facial smoothness. After that, sew a gusset between the legs, turning the work inside out. Try to make minimal seams so that they do not rub the delicate skin of the baby.
Recommendations
Take your time to get the job done quickly. Otherwise, you may not get the desired result. If you are not a professional in this matter, create a sketch for yourself and write down when and how much to knit. This scheme will help you a lot.
Do not start knitting a few days before giving birth. If you want to make clothes for the future baby with your own hands, take care of this in advance. Do not take knitting with you to the maternity hospital. Believe me, you will not be there before that.
Knit in advance, with pleasure and do not believe in various signs and superstitions. Think about how pleasant it will be for your baby in warm and soft pants, which his mother created with love and tenderness, with her own hands.
