Knitting for babies is an occupation that young mothers can only afford while waiting for the birth of a small miracle. As a rule, when a baby is born, it requires so much attention from its parent that she certainly is not up to knitting. But nine months of waiting is enough time to take care of the unborn child by knitting or crocheting original things with it.
However, if knitting for children up to a year with knitting needles or crochet is a process preceding their birth, then it is possible to express your attention and care to relatives and relatives through personal things connected throughout their life. They will be very grateful to you, believe me.
Knitting for kids is considered a slightly more complicated process than similar needlework using a hook. The small details that make up small things for newborns and older children are really easier to crochet. And all kinds of bows, ruffles and shuttlecocks, decorating such clothes in abundance, it is also much more difficult for many needlewomen to tie two “sticks” than one. On the other hand, knitting for kids implies the use of all kinds of colorful applications or prints that are almost impossible to crochet. In general, the choice of a tool directly depends not only on the habits and preferences of the master, but also on the type of product that should see the light as a result of its work.
Moreover, as a rule, many women use knitting for babies, creating winter clothes for them: warm blouses and pants, overalls, envelopes and, of course, hats, socks and mittens. But using the hook, you can knit just amazing things for kids for the summer season, especially for girls: dresses and sundresses, hats and shirts, blouses and boleros, swimwear and skirts.
Learning to knit and crochet is quite simple. But not every woman can succeed in this type of needlework. Although why only a woman? Some men are also keen on this hobby. True, I must admit, this is very rare. Having mastered the simple methods of knitting loops of only two types - front and wrong, the whole process of creating things knitted with needles is reduced to their use in one way or another.
Crochet by and large is an improvisation with columns that are knitted according to the same pattern. That is, this type of needlework, in fact, is very simple, absolutely everyone can learn to knit. But there’s not much to be learned so that it becomes a man’s favorite hobby. Knitting requires a lot of perseverance, patience and imagination. Only then, really beautiful and necessary things appear from under the knitting needles or hook of the master.

In these sources there are not only step-by-step instructions for creating these or those things, but also interesting ideas, which, by embodying, can give your baby an exclusive fashionable wardrobe.
