We knit an envelope for a newborn: a diagram with a description

The birth of a child is a great event not only for young parents, but for all their friends and acquaintances. If the young mom and dad are only busy with their baby, then the relatives need to choose a gift for the first acquaintance with the baby.

In the search it is necessary to stop your choice on something simple and functional. Perfect for gift gift knitting needles envelope. The scheme can be absolutely any, the main thing is that it is warm and soft, pleasant to the child's delicate skin.

Purple Envelope

In order to properly associate such a warm accessory, a scheme of the envelope of the newborn should be drawn up. For calculations it is necessary to know the growth of a baby or make a calculation with a margin. If the envelope is slightly larger, it's absolutely not scary. In such an envelope it will be possible to touch the baby with a warm overall or suit.

Length calculation

Most children are born with an increase of 52-56 cm. Assuming that the growth is 56 cm, it is necessary to add to this parameter half the growth. Total: 56 + 56 + (56/2) = 140 cm. This is done so that the envelope well covers the back of the child. Now the height of the hood is calculated. To do this, take the full length of the child's body, this is 56 cm. The total length of the envelope blank: 140 + 56 = 196 cm. Let the original figure not be scary of the needlewomen. Folded in half due to the seams and fitting of the figure, the envelope will be to the child at the time.

Schematic description

The scheme of knitting an envelope is simple and understandable even to novice craftsmen.

Knitting an envelope starts from the bottom. The first 3 cm of cloth knit with garter stitch: a series of facial loops in the purl series - again a series of facial. So - until reaching the required height.

When 3 cm is tied, knit like this: 10 stitch garter stitches, then English gum 1 x 1 (front / back, repeat to the end of the row). The last 10 loops, not counting the edge, are knitted similarly with garter stitch.

In the purl series, knitting goes, as loops look. Where there was garter stitching, knitting continues garter stitching .

This pattern knits 5 cm canvases. Then 3 cm is tied with a handkerchief. Then the pattern repeats: 10 loops of loaf, an English gum, 10 loops of handkerchief, edge.

So knit until the length of the envelope reaches 137 cm. The last 3 cm is knitted with garter stitch.

Now proceed to unfasten the hood in the envelope. The scheme can be continued from the main fabric, but it can be made simple and easy - to tie the entire length with garter stitch.

The last 3 cm is preferably connected with an elastic band 1 x 1 (front / back). Then the envelope will cover your head well.

Assembling the product

The considered scheme of a knitted envelope for a newborn does not involve assembling a large number of parts. The resulting canvas is turned out with a knitted suture (the needle is inserted into each loop of the edge, without missing), first the right and then the left half of the envelope is sewn up to a height of 130 cm. There remains a small section that lies between the hood and the pocket of the envelope. This part is necessary for the hood to "sit" on the baby's head well and to cover it even in a warm hat. To form the hood, the upper part of the fabric must be folded. To do this, the right and left corners are lowered to form a triangle. Parties sew the same knitted suture.

The resulting bag is turned out. For decoration on the sides are sewn large multicolored buttons. It is desirable that they are bright. The material can be chosen any - plastic or wood, leather or knitted buttons. With the help of long circular knitting needles, the edge can be tied with an elastic band of 1 x 1. For this, the edge edge is used as typing, the needle is inserted into the gap between the loops of the closed row and is output to the front side, as in conventional knitting. Bind the edge is recommended only when it does not interfere with the pattern. If the pattern is voluminous and accentuating yourself, then the strapping is best not to do.

Envelope "spikelets"

An interesting envelope is obtained, the knitting pattern consists of a pattern of "spikelets". Externally, the pattern is very similar to pigtails or spikelets of wheat. The pattern is voluminous, dense, excellent for a warm envelope in the cold season.

Description of the pattern

Rapport is 22 x 40 (22 loops for 40 rows). The elements are repeated in staggered order. The pattern is complex only visually, in practice it is easy to tie an envelope, the scheme of which is explained in detail.

The diagram shows only the front rows. All the purlins are knitted according to the pattern. The loops, which are marked with black dots, are always knitted, both in the front and in the back.

The braids are formed by crossed loops.

Calculation of loops should take into account that one pattern block is equal to 22 loops + 2 edge bands.

1 (this is how the 7, 13 and 19 series fit together): * 2 rel. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 3 out. Loops, intercept of four persons. With an inclination to the right, to intercept from four persons. With a slope to the left, 3 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 2 out. Hinges. Repeat until the end of the row.

2, and also all even ones: * 4 rel. Loops, 3 persons. Loops, 8 purl loops, 3 faces. Loops, 4 out. Hinges. Repeat until the end.

3 (5 and 9, 11 and 15, 17 rows are the same): * 2 rel. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 3 loops, 8 persons. Loops, 3 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 2 out. Hinges. Repeat until the end.

21 (so fit the 27, 33 and 39 rows): * Intercept from four persons. With a slope to the left, 3 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 4 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 3 out. Loops, intercept of four persons. With a slope to the right *. Repeat until the end of the row.

23 (25 and 29, 31, 35 and 37 rows fit like this): * 4 persons. Loops, 3 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 4 out. Loops, 2 persons. Loops, 3 out. Loops, 4 persons. Loops.

Conventional notation

In order to correctly read the crocheting patterns of an envelope, it is necessary to understand the catch designations. On the diagram:

• An empty box - the loops are knitted according to the pattern (the front in the front, the purl in the purl);
• An empty square with an empty, exact inside - knit in the opposite direction to how the loops look (purl in the front, front in the purl);
• Empty square with a full (black) exact inside - the loop always matches the wrong one;
• The arrow through 4 squares shows from left to right - to intercept from 4 facial with a slope to the right with a slope to the right. 1 and 2 loops are removed at the same time on the additional spoke, leaving for work. First, the 3 and 4 loops are primed, only then loops from the additional spoke;
• Arrow through 4 squares shows from right to left - intercepted from 4 facial with a slope to the left. 1 and 2 loops are removed before work, 3 and 4 are sewn, then loops from the additional knitting needle.

Assembling an envelope

Envelope stitches on the sides, then, as in the version above, the hood is sewn. The envelope turns out. To decorate the envelope, you can tie a brush and sew it to the hood.

Heat insulation of the envelope

To get a warm envelope with knitting needles, the patterns are used only for knitting the outer part of the envelope. For interior finishing, it is better to use a simple facial smoothness or a kerchief. You can also sew a warm fleece lining. To do this, a rectangle is cut from the fleece by the same dimensions as the envelope itself. The lining is stitched, turned inside out and manually sewn to the knitted casing.

Envelope for beginners

To knit the most simple envelope without a hood, you need a soft wool blend yarn, circular knitting needles, a fleece cut.

First, a pattern is made. On the pattern, a fleece lining is cut out.

English rubber band 1 x 1 (1 face loop alternates with 1 purl) all knit.

In order to know the length and width of the canvas, you need to know the height of the child and the circumference of the head. To these parameters is added 20 cm. Total, a long envelope is required, the scheme of which does not require special skills in knitting.

Knitting can also be used for dressing. In this case, all rows are knitted with only the wrong loops. The assembly is carried out in a standard way - if there is a hood, then it is formed from the upper corner, if there is no hood, then the side parts are sewn and there remains a small lining under the head of the child.

The finished fabric is sewn together with the lining. To do this, the lining to the knitted cover is first marked, then sewn with the sewing machine from the back part. The envelope is turned out and finished with lace or braid. The tape is measured according to the length of the perimeter of the envelope + front strip. You can sew by hand, or you can - crochet.

When an envelope for newborns is tied, it is necessary to get acquainted with the description and diagrams at the very first stages. The important point in work is the right choice of yarn. The skin of a small child is very tender, so you need to choose those threads that do not cause allergies, will not stab and flutter. A thread with angora or a large amount of wool is also poorly suited for knitting an envelope to a child - fluffy villi will interfere with the baby.
