When the child is still young, many mothers say that it is very inconvenient for them to take a baby blanket with them for a walk . Of course, it is not so big in size, but taking a place in the stroller deprives the baby of living space. Without it, it will also be very difficult to be outdoors for a long time. Especially in the winter. Of course, the baby will be dressed in a warm jumpsuit and covered with all available covers. However, this may not save from the harsh Russian winter, and therefore it will not hurt to cover it with another layer. In this case, a children's blanket will be very handy.
This product can be purchased directly from the store. As a rule, a special, tested material is used for sewing it, consisting entirely of synthetic fibers or containing a certain percentage of wool. In size, it corresponds to a baby blanket, so the advantages of such a purchase are difficult to assess.
If time allows, it will be better if you make a children's plaid yourself. To do this, you can use knitting needles and crochet. The sequence of knitting will depend on the yarn you have.
If you do not want or cannot buy new threads at the moment, then you can use multi-colored balls, which will certainly be found in the house of each needlewoman. To do this, from the remains of the yarn, you can knit geometric shapes of arbitrary shape and then sew them together, forming a finished product.
If you have enough threads, you can crochet a children's plaid. This will be especially true for the warm season, when the child needs to be sheltered, but you should not wrap him up. It is desirable that the yarn is 100% cotton. This will guarantee that the finished product will not irritate the baby's skin, and therefore, during a walk, he will certainly sleep longer. You can also choose special threads for children. They can be 100% acrylic. However, the manufacturer has already taken care of its quality. That is why such a yarn will have a stable color and be particularly soft.
You can knit a children's plaid with a whole cloth. For this, it will only be necessary to choose a suitable pattern, which should not include arches consisting of a large number of loops, or they must be filled in the process of knitting.
Children's plaid can be knitted. With this method of manufacturing, the product will turn out even thinner. Especially if you give preference to thin yarn and knitting needles No. 1.5 - 2. Of course, it will take more time to work, but the result will surely please you. After all, such a plaid will not take up much space in the stroller. And if it is knitted from thin woolen threads, then it will also turn out to be very warm.
The size of the finished product will depend on its purpose and the needs of the mother. Many knit baby rugs and bedspreads in a car. With their help, it will be possible to create comfortable conditions for the baby during a long trip.
As a recommendation, I would like to note that after knitting a plaid, do not throw away the pattern and leave the threads. In this case, when the child grows up, you can increase its size.
