Choosing clothes for a newborn is always difficult. Things should be soft, warm, beautiful. The little man needs a special quality of fabrics and materials. If you don’t like any of the assortment of stores, you can knit clothes for your baby yourself. How to tie a suit for a newborn? Knitting or crocheting - does not play a role. It is important to choose the right material and not miscalculate strongly with the size.
Knitting for beginners
Any craftswoman wants to do a worthy thing. If knitting only appeared in the life of a craftswoman and skills are not yet fully developed, do not immediately set difficult tasks. To beginner to knit a suit for a newborn with knitting needles, an easy way is not only possible, but also necessary.
The peculiarity of the method lies in the fact that the suit will consist of two things - panties and blouse. For a small child it is convenient - to change clothes, there is no need to unfasten a large number of buttons (like on overalls).
To work, you will need:
- circular knitting needles No. 2,5;
- yarn of selected shades - 2 skeins (yarn consumption corresponds to that recommended by the manufacturer for the selected thread and thickness of knitting needles);
- tapestry needle (any thick needle with a blunt end will do);
- extra long knitting needles.
Calculations for knitting
The width of the shoulders is 25 cm. In 1 cm there are 3 loops. The width of the hips and tummy with an increase in freedom of fit is 24 cm. 24 * 3 = 72 loops are dialed into circular loops.
Hosiery (the first one is removed, all the loops are front, the last is always the wrong side, the wrong side is the first one, all the loops are the wrong one). The height of the back from the hips to the shoulder blades is knitted. This distance is 20 cm. Having knitted 20 cm, the thread is cut.
Knitting sleeves and necks
A centimeter measures the length of the handle from the shoulder to the tips of the fingers. This length is necessary so that the baby is warm, as the fingers are often freezing. The length is 20 cm.
Now 20 * 3 = 60 loops are typed on an additional spoke. An additional knitting needle continues to knit a number of previously made paintings. The pattern must match so that the canvas does not pull. At the end of the row, another 60 stitches are drawn onto the same working needle.
Then 3 rows are knitted, then the loops from the first sleeve are removed to an additional knitting needle, and the average 25 loops are closed. The remaining loops are knitted according to the pattern. The shoulder blade 10 cm high is knitted, the thread is cut, but the loops are not removed from the knitting needle. Now loops from the pending additional knitting needles are knitted. When the height becomes the same, the canvas closes. To do this, close the loop of the sleeve on both sides, and knitting the front will continue until the height becomes equal to the back.
The result should be a kind of "plus sign" with a hole for the head in the middle.
Now the jacket is stitched. A needle with a thread that knitted a jacket, all the loops of the sleeves and side seams are sewn. Jacket turns out.
Knitted panties
To fully tie the suit for the newborn (with knitting needles, for example), it is necessary to make panties.
On the same circular knitting needles gain 72 loops. 4 cm is knitted with an elastic band 1 x 1 (1 front is knitted, then 1 wrong side. Wrong row - as the loops look). Further knitting continues with stocking knitting 10 cm. This is the height of the seat. Measured from the waist to the bottom of the priest (the place where the thigh is felt). At this level, half the loops are removed on an extra spoke and left. The second half is knitted according to the drawing on the leg length - 22 cm. The last 3 cm are knitted with an elastic band. The thread is trimmed, and the second leg is also knitted.
When one half is ready, you need to tie another such part of the pants. Two parts are stitched together and turned out.
The result is a warm knitted suit for the newborn. Knitting with knitting needles is easy, and the result will be excellent.
