Bright and stylish sweater for girls, knitted with needles, is a universal wardrobe item. Warm yarn will warm the baby, and she will not catch a cold. Clothing does not have buttons, that is, it will not interfere with movement.
How does any knitting start? Of course, with a choice of yarn. Since we are talking about products for little girls, special requirements are imposed on threads.
Yarn selection
Firstly, the yarn should be pleasant to the touch, not prick and not shag. Therefore, for children's things mohair and angora are not allowed. Let the baby grow up, then the time for fluffy strings will come for her. Secondly, yarn should not cause allergies. The third requirement is practicality. Children's things are often messed up, because the material for them must withstand repeated washing and ironing, without losing any external characteristics.
When choosing yarn to knit a sweater for a girl with a knitting need to look at the composition of the fiber. It is better if it is made from natural materials. Synthetics are allowed, but not more than 50%. An exception is quality acrylic yarn. Many manufacturers have in their range a line labeled Baby (or Children's ), you should pay attention primarily to it.
There are no requirements for the color scheme of yarn. But traditionally it is considered to be shades of pink for girls. We offer to move away from the stereotype and choose threads of other colors: blue, bright orange or elegant white. Another win-win option is melange yarn.

After the composition of the threads is considered, you need to decide on the model. An option for mothers who are just mastering knitting is to make a sweater with a front or wrong side stitch.
A light pattern and a small blouse size - these factors allow you to knit a sweater for a girl with knitting needles for several evenings. If there is no desire to tinker with the calculation of loops and knit raglan, details of the front and back are performed without armholes. Sleeves are two rectangles that are then sewn to the base of the pullover.

For needlewomen who have mastered knitting perfectly, the jumper, proposed in the next photo, will not be difficult. The rest will have to work hard.
The specifics of the sweater - it fits in a non-standard way - from top to bottom. The number of loops with each row is gradually increasing, the result - the product will be quite free and not restricting movements, which the baby will like. Round yoke requires a special pattern. Firstly, it should look good in an “inverted” form. Secondly, allow the docking of the pattern rapports when knitting in a circle. Ornaments in the form of leaflets, zigzags and lace stripes satisfy the requirements. The main canvas of the product is knitted with satin.

In conclusion - a children's jumper for a girl and a hat. The basis of the picture is a braid pattern located in the center of the front canvas. If desired, it can be duplicated on the back. Sleeves are made of a continuous canvas with front stitch.
To prevent the jumper from stretching, the details begin to be knitted with elastic, alternating 3 front and 3 wrong loops. Avoiding additional seams allows the execution of a pullover on circular knitting needles. After collecting the required number of loops, the jumper is knitted from the bottom up. To form the armholes, the front and back are disconnected.
