How to choose yarn for knitting
When choosing yarn for children's things, you should remember a few simple rules.
- For summer things, try using cotton threads. If viscose is added to the composition, then in the sun the finished product will glisten very beautifully. However, it will not be hot, and the risk of overheating of the child will be minimized.
- Do not choose dark or faded shades of yarn. Always remember that this product will be worn by a girl, therefore it is better to buy colors that are cheerful: pink, blue, white, lilac ... It is ideal if you also take into account the preferences of the child when choosing yarn. Let's say she likes the color blue. Well, let the new thing be, if not purely blue, then, for example, in blue and white!
- If you decide to crochet a summer sundress for a girl, then carefully read the inscriptions on the package. The skein must have at least 400 meters of thread per 100 grams of yarn. Otherwise, the thing will turn out to be thick, and the child will be uncomfortable.
How to choose a model
If you are just starting your journey as a knitter, then you should not immediately try to connect the thing with a complex pattern and silhouette. Let's say you decide to crochet a sundress. For a girl, you can make a simple model, and then decorate her with flowers from the same or suitable quality yarn. In the center of each flower, sew a beautiful bead or several pieces of beads. And if on the shoulder or around the neck carelessly sprinkle glass beads or shiny stones, then not one girl can resist such beauty! Of course, you need to observe the measure in everything and not go too far with decorations ...
