Selection of schemes

Mothers always take care of their babies. Knitting for children is also a sign of caring. After all, from the first days of life, the baby receives warm booties or socks associated with love and patience. These items are knitted even by those who took up knitting needles for the first time.

Knitting for children is very exciting and not tiring. The items are small, the threads are pleasant to the touch, the colors are harmonious - a real pleasure to work with. You will need very little yarn; you can successfully use leftovers from other things.

I would like to highlight knitting for newborns as a separate topic. While expecting a baby, you have the opportunity to choose an interesting model, and those who don’t know how to knit have time to learn. Among the popular items are: rompers for newborns.

Blouses, pants and hats are very necessary in a baby's wardrobe. But when the newborn is in overalls, the mother is very calm. It keeps the baby warm and comfortable, and the baby is well protected from the wind. There is no need to be afraid that when the child moves, the panties will slip down or the blouse will unbutton; it is convenient for both boys and girls to walk in overalls.

There is no special pattern for knitting overalls for newborns. The main thing in this process is to understand the principle of knitting it and adjust the dimensions as you work. For girls and boys, clothes at this age are knitted without any special differences.

Overalls for newborns can be knitted both at the top and bottom. For beginner knitters, in the first case it is better to use raglan, in the second - a dropped armhole. Sleeves and pants can be made short or long. It depends on the season and the purpose of the overalls for the newborn.

Mothers really like to knit kits for their babies. Jumpsuits are often complemented and combined with:

Description of knitting overalls for a newborn

Any experienced knitter and an attentive beginner can master knitting a onesie for newborns at the top. In this case, you will have to calculate the raglan lines, so choose the method when you are confident in your abilities. It is advisable to knit a model with a raglan top with a zipper.

You can knit all the parts separately. This method is very profitable. You can easily knit a newborn onesie when your baby gets a little older. The parts will have to be spaced out and enlarged. Therefore, such a jumpsuit is sewn with a “hidden” knitted seam. You don't have to change the clasp. To expand the model, tie the strips and arrange them in front of the same zipper.

I would also like to say about a lightweight version of overalls for newborns. This is an envelope. In this case, you won't have to knit your pants.

Knitting patterns for overalls and envelopes for newborns are very diverse. You can choose a simple scheme for beginners, or you can connect a complex model with your own design. Any decision is correct. You are knitting overalls for your baby. Therefore, don't limit yourself.

A collection of patterns describing knitting overalls

Children's seamless overalls, made independently on knitting needles, are a very comfortable and practical thing for both children and parents. It can be worn on a child in cool autumn weather or used in winter, worn under winter clothes. You can even put your child to sleep in such a onesie, the main thing is that the yarn is soft and does not irritate the baby’s sensitive skin.

Learn how to knit a warm seamless jumpsuit for a baby

Knitting such a jumpsuit is quite simple - the main thing is to understand the principle of knitting, so even a needlewoman without much experience in knitting things can cope with this task.

To knit overalls for newborns or older children, you need to be very careful when choosing yarn. It should be natural, soft, hypoallergenic and marked baby on the packaging. In addition, before starting work, you need to decide how your overalls will be fastened - with a zipper or buttons. If you decide to make a fastener with buttons, then do not forget to knit the loops or knit it not too tightly so that the buttons can be threaded through the loops - this will even hold better.

In order to understand how to knit a seamless jumpsuit quickly and easily on knitting needles, we present to your attention a small master class on how to make it.

Master class on making seamless children's transforming overalls

To work we will need:

• Children's yarn;
• Long knitting needles (diameter depends on the thickness of the thread) – 2 pcs;
• Short knitting needles – 5 pcs.;
• Hook;
• Buttons.

Knitting will start from the neckline. We cast on 64 loops on long knitting needles and knit five rows with a regular 1*1 elastic band, alternating knit and purl loops. If you want the neck of the overalls to completely cover the baby’s neck, then knit 10 – 15 rows, depending on the size of the product.

After you have knitted the neck of the overalls, you need to divide all the knitting according to the pattern: 10 = 1 = 10 = 1 = 20 = 1 = 10 = 1 = 10, or, in other words, like this: front = 1 = sleeve = 1 = back = 1 = sleeve = 1 = front, where “=” is 1 yarn over.

We knit until the raglan line reaches 13 cm, then we remove the loops of the sleeves onto additional knitting needles, and we ourselves continue knitting to a length of 55 cm. After this, we divide the knitting in half and knit each pant leg separately for about another 20 cm. Closer to the elastic, we reduce the number of loops, knitting evenly two loops together 4 times. We finish knitting the legs with an elastic band 1*1 in the amount of 5 rows.

Now let's return to our sleeves. We transfer the loops that we removed onto auxiliary knitting needles to short ones, dividing them into four parts and knitting another 18 cm of sleeves. Closer to the beginning of the elastic band, we also reduce the number of loops and complete the knitting with five rows with a 1*1 elastic band.

Lastly, we knit the strips for buttons and loops. They can be knitted or crocheted. If you use a crochet hook, then on the side where the buttons will be we knit two rows of single crochets, and on the side of the loops - two rows of single crochets and one row of chain stitches for the holes.

Sew on the buttons and the warm and cozy transforming overalls are ready.

If you are knitting a jumpsuit for the first time, we advise you to knit it with regular knit and purl stitches, and on the next models, when the knitting principle is completely clear, you can experiment with patterns. For example, knit such a chic product with arans.

Just don’t forget to knit the sample first to understand how much space the pattern takes up and correctly calculate the number of loops for a symmetrical arrangement of the pattern on the overalls.

The jumpsuit can also be knitted with a closed leg. To do this, you do not need to knit an elastic band at the end of the legs, but finish the knitting with a sock.

Seamless children's overalls can be knitted not only from the neck, but also from the legs. To do this, you need to knit each leg separately, then connect them on circular knitting needles in a row, adding several loops to connect the legs. Continue knitting upwards, but do not combine the knitting into a circle - the beginning and end of the circular row with this knitting coincides with the middle of the front, where the fastener bar is knitted. The front neckline on the front and back is knitted separately, as on a regular jacket, and for the sleeves additional stitches are cast on from the armhole line. At the end of knitting, a gusset is knitted between the legs.

In conclusion, we suggest watching videos about the step-by-step production of children's seamless overalls, so that you no longer have questions or incomprehensible moments when knitting a cute overall for your beloved baby.

Clothing for a baby in stores is often more expensive than clothes for an adult, which is why children's knitting is widespread and popular today. Many needlewomen knit stylish booties, hats, and raglan overalls for children with their own hands. The yarn consumption for such work is minimal, so you can safely choose the most expensive skeins.

In addition to the fact that knitting for children allows you to save a lot of money, hand-made raglan clothing made from soft yarn in melange or gradient colors looks stylish and attractive. Knitted stylish raglan overalls for children can be decorated with an original ornament or pattern using patterns.

We knit overalls for children

Every mother tries to dress her baby in stylish, original things. To have 100% confidence that the clothes for the child are made from natural yarn, many mothers make baby knitted items with custom knitting needles or master the technique of creating clothes for children themselves. Therefore, creating children's things with knitting needles has become a favorite hobby for many. Stylish and modern mothers share their patterns and publish their work on websites.

First, it is recommended to watch video lessons on knitting things for children, which have the most views, learn how to cast on loops for things, knit with stockinette stitch and finish the work. Knitting children's clothes with raglan is characterized by the absence of seams, which makes the work more comfortable for the baby.

Before you start making clothes for children using patterns, you will need to take all the necessary measurements or use special tables that indicate standard sizes by age of children. You will need:

• Yarn (the number of skeins is indicated in the description with diagrams);
• Circular knitting needles (the number is indicated on the yarn label);
• Stocking needles;
• Markers for marking raglan stitches.

What is raglan, methods of knitting top and bottom

Children's knitting is characterized by the absence of seams in children's clothing. To make clothes look like they came from a store, they are knitted using raglan, a cutting method in which the sleeve is knitted together with the front and back; patterns are used for this. Children's knitting of overalls from above begins with a diagram: draw a circle divided into 4 sectors: front, back, two sleeves.

Modern, stylish overalls with a raglan top look neat.

Raglan overalls are knitted in two ways.

Method 1. Top to bottom.

The method involves knitting children's clothing with raglan from the top, starting from the neck.

Before starting work on knitting things for children, you need to measure the circumference of the neck, and also make a sample of yarn for work in order to count the number of loops in 10 cm.

We take a sheet of paper and begin to write down calculations for the work, as in the example:

• Neck circumference – 25 cm. 10 cm contains 20 loops, which means 25 cm – 50, +2 edge loops;
• For four lines of raglan clothing, select 2 loops, 8 in total. From the resulting total number for the neck 52, subtract 8, leaving 44;
• Divide the resulting number by 3. 44:3 = 15+15+14 (15 for the back and front, 7 for the sleeves). To prevent the sleeves from becoming wide when adding raglan loops, we reduce the number for the sleeves of the garment by 3 each, and increase the back and front by 3. We get 18+18+4+4;
• Needlewomen know: to prevent a jumpsuit with a raglan top from pulling back, the back neckline must be raised. To do this, additional lifting rows are knitted on the back side, which means the number of back loops will be greater. To balance, subtract 2 from the total number for the back and add them to the front loops of the garment. We get 20+16+4+4;
• If you plan to knit stylish overalls for children with buttons, you need to make a placket. For a strip, 4 will be enough, on each side, we knit the strips overlapping, so you need to add another 4 to the number of front loops. Final data: 24+16+4+4, 48 in total.

Method 2. Bottom up.

On various forums and specialized websites you will find many recommendations with patterns for knitting things with raglan from the bottom up, i.e. starting with the legs for the overalls. In this case, having reached the junction of the front, back and sleeves, along the raglan lines they begin to decrease the stitches of work, 8 per row.

Seamless stylish onesies with raglan top for baby

To knit a children's jumpsuit with raglan top, you need to study the patterns on specialized sites for needlework. The sequence of work is as follows:

• Knitting raglan overalls for children with knitting needles begins with a set of loops, in accordance with the calculations carried out for things for children. We knit a stand-up collar with an elastic band 1x1 3-5 cm;
• Next, we knit the main pattern of overalls for children. If you use bright yarn for the product, you can make the work with stockinette stitch. Knitting plain items for children can be decorated with a relief pattern, for example, a pearl pattern, diamonds or braids, using patterns. We knit the bar with an elastic band;
• We knit raglan. In each front row, i.e. after 1 row, add 1 loop on each side of the raglan, 8 in total, the raglan line is usually knitted with knit stitches. Those for whom children's knitting has long ceased to be just a hobby, calculate the number of loops for the back and front, and upon reaching this number they complete the raglan;
• The loops for the sleeves are moved to auxiliary knitting needles, then we knit the front and back. Since knitting overalls for children is seamless, after 20-22 cm, having made half the loops, we transfer the work to 3 stocking needles and create a trouser leg. After completing the first leg, they begin the second one, then the children are knitted booties;
• All that remains is to knit the sleeves. We complete the children's knitting of overalls with elastic bands on the sleeves 1x1. In addition to the overalls, booties and a hat can be knitted.

With the birth of a baby, many mothers want to dress him in beautiful clothes created with their own hands. It’s just that due to their inexperience, they don’t know where to start.

This article contains materials that can help even the most inexperienced knitter make a wonderful thing.

To knit, you will need yarn, knitting needles or a crochet hook and a knitting needle. You can purchase these things by visiting a handicraft store, which is available in any city.

But before you go shopping, decide on the model that you will implement.

Yarn

When purchasing yarn, base your choice on the following points.
Consider the season for which the knitted baby jumpsuit is intended.

• For the winter model, it is better to choose yarn containing alpaca or merino wool with the addition of high-quality acrylic.
• For the summer option, cotton, viscose and silk are suitable.
• High quality acrylic items are suitable for any season.

Knitting needles and needles

It is preferable to select knitting needles based on the following method. Fold the thread of yarn you have chosen for the future product in half, twist it slightly and compare the diameter of the resulting thickness with the thickness of the knitting needle you are purchasing. If it matches, then the knitting needles are guaranteed to fit.

A knitting needle will be useful for assembling the finished product. Its distinctive feature is a blunt tip that will not destroy the structure of the yarn fiber.

Details and pattern of knitted overalls

First of all, create a pattern for the future overalls for newborns and knit a knitting pattern. This will help you make the correct calculations.

Using two rulers, count the number of loops that fit in a 10-centimeter segment. And you also need to count the number of rows that fit into the same height.

Based on the data obtained, the required number of stitches to be cast on is calculated, and the increases and decreases in the pattern are also calculated.

But if you do not want to make the calculations yourself, then you can use ready-made calculations.

Attention! When using ready-made calculations, pay attention to the consistency of the density of the sample you are connecting with what is stated in the description.

The overalls pattern can be created using the dimensions of your baby. You can also use a printed ready-made pattern. The diagram below can serve as an example of a pattern.

• The first size applies to the age group from 0 to 3 months.
• The size in brackets is from 3 to 6 months and above.

Calculation of loops for knitting a hood

When knitting a jumpsuit with a hood, you will have to pay extra attention to this detail.

• At the age of 0 to 3 months, the baby’s head volume is 35-40 centimeters.
• At the age of 3 to 6 months, these figures are 42-44 centimeters.

By linking the sample according to these indicators, you can independently calculate the pattern of increases and decreases in the hood of the product.

Knitting overalls

Knitting needles are the simplest knitting device that even the most inexperienced knitter can master.

For the first experiment, it is easiest to take a model knitted with stockinette stitch as a sample. This type of knitting is based on knitting all the loops on the outside with knit loops, and on the inside, respectively, with purl loops.

For a more attractive result, use yarn of different colors. The best solution would be to make cuffs and piping in a contrasting color or a smooth transition from one color to another.

For products intended for babies under three months, pastel colors are better suited, while older children prefer contrasting, bright colors.

There are several stages of knitting that significantly affect the result.

Step-by-step instructions for beginners

• For your first job, choose simple models with diagrams and detailed descriptions.
• There is no need to look for options whose beauty is based on the complexity of the knitted pattern. It is better to combine a spectacular color combination and the front surface.

Important: never combine a complex pattern and variety of colors in a model, it looks vulgar and ridiculous.

• For the first work, medium-thick yarn (about 300 meters per 100 g) and knitting needles with a thickness of 3.5 are best suited. Using tools with a thicker diameter, you will end up with a very loose knitted product.
• The same will happen when using fine yarn. If you take thick yarn, you will get a thing that is rough to the touch. When used, it will irritate the delicate skin of babies.
• For an inexperienced knitter, it is ideal to choose the raglan option for the first implementation. This is a fairly simple option in execution and calculations. It is also the easiest to assemble.

Pattern and description of knitting the top of overalls with raglan sleeves

The construction of the calculation of the cast-on loops, as well as additions and decreases, entirely depends on the size of the neck circumference of your child.

It is this indicator that affects the number of loops cast on in the initial row.

• From the resulting quantity we subtract 8 loops (2 pieces for each raglan line).
• We divide the remainder into three parts. Two equal ones are the front and back, the third part is divided in half for the sleeves.
• When making the necessary increases, keep in mind that the increases on the front and back should be twice as large as on the sleeves.
• Another important point is that when dividing the knitting into four parts, it is necessary to knit several incomplete rows for the back.

The figure below shows an example of calculating a raglan for knitting with the pattern shown in Fig.

This pattern, made by alternating knit and purl stitches, is the most used pattern for children's clothing.

Another very effective move is to use braids on the raglan line.

Knitting pattern for “bear” overalls with ears

The next most popular overalls for babies is a model made in the form of a funny teddy bear costume, with ears on the hood. It is the last detail that gives this item its unique tenderness and charm.

For the execution of this model, yarn of a single color is great.

It is best not to use intricate patterns. Knit the overalls using the raglan technique or from bottom to top according to the above pattern.

And after assembly, simply sew pre-knitted ovals to the hood, imitating animal ears. Or crochet them.

Embroidered eyes just below will help enhance the cute effect.

Attention! Do not use plastic eyes suitable for sewing on for this purpose, as they can injure the baby’s delicate skin.

It will be useful for a novice craftswoman to first watch a video with knitting tips.

Crochet overalls for a newborn

Crocheted overalls for a newborn are a much more complex model to make than knitted ones.

• Firstly, crochet patterns are more complex than knitting patterns.
• Secondly, such a model will require more yarn.
• Thirdly, be patient, you will need it, because this type of jumpsuit will require you comparatively more time.

Completing of the work

But if you still decide to risk this experiment, then you should know a few simple rules and follow them step by step.

• This type of product requires fine yarn. It is best to use samples with readings of 500 meters per 100 grams. If you take thicker yarn, you will end up with a rough fabric that will rub your baby’s delicate body.
• Use simple combinations of patterns in the model: various options for columns, shells and fans.
• Ideally use a 2.0-2.5 hook. To obtain a plastic and pleasant thing, this tool is perfect. A thicker number will create through holes and require the use of a liner.
• As in knitting, all calculations are based on measuring the knitted sample and making a pattern. It is from them that the knitting pattern for children's overalls is calculated.
  Here is one sample pattern to use as an example.

Crocheted children's items have a special charm and charm. Unlike knitting needles, these models have special tenderness and sophistication.

It is best to use crochet for summer jumpsuits. They are not so dense and allow the baby's skin to breathe freely.

And finally, a few recommendations

• Do not use complex openwork patterns for infant onesies.
• The most beautiful children's clothing is made in a discreet, in some ways even strict, manner.
• If you want to decorate your baby's clothing, use embroidery.
• Do not decorate knitted items with beads and brooches. Once in children's hands, they can cause a lot of trouble.
• If you are making a model with a front clasp, know that to knit the placket you only need to knit four additional rows.
• Use buttons without shanks to make fasteners. Firstly, they are attached more securely and it will be more difficult for the baby to unscrew them. Secondly, they, without sharp protrusions, are not pressed into delicate skin.
