Knitting for children is a great opportunity to show their imagination and experiment with colors and types of yarn. When choosing materials for working with “adult” things, for example, for ourselves or our friends, we rarely opt for non-standard compositions of materials or bright color combinations. Not everyone is lucky enough to work with yarn for knitting children's clothes or toys, so I suggest knitting a bright, very warm and cozy children's scarf. Make your child happy, or do nice gift Your friend's young mother.
We knit a children's scarf using knitting needles based on a unique master class from Ekaterina Kuryleva.
To begin with, let’s choose a warm, soft “plush” yarn for knitting children’s clothes. Despite the artificial composition, it is absolutely hypoallergenic, does not irritate the skin, does not cause itching, retains heat well, and also, which is very important for children's things, is very simple and unpretentious to care for. Our baby scarf is knitted from “Bambi” yarn from the Nazar brand, in a rich green color. Such the color will suit for both boys and girls. The skein is 142m/50g, one is enough for us to knit a scarf for a child.
Also, we will need a tool suitable for the threads in in this case The accessory is knitted with knitting needles No. 4.5.
To decorate in the shape of a strawberry, you will need yarn of any composition in red, white and green colors. These can be small balls that usually remain from knitting large items, the use of which is usually very difficult to find. I think every craftswoman understands what we’re talking about!
The template will require cardboard, as well as scissors and a hook.
Our children's scarf has a clasp, so it will fit tightly around the neck and not fall off or twist. You can choose what it will be: hooks, buttons, snaps or Velcro.
The pattern in which this scarf is knitted is called “fur”. The product turns out to be not only very original, but also incredibly warm, because each eyelet provides additional volume. A diagram for this pattern is not required, just read the description carefully. We start knitting by casting on 31 stitches. To knit fabric using the fur technique, cast on an odd number of stitches. We will knit the entire next row facial loops.
We turn the fabric over and start knitting “fur” loops. We remove the edge, insert the knitting needle into the next loop behind the front wall and immediately throw the working thread onto it. Now we wrap the thread around the index and middle fingers in two turns and knit the two formed loops with the front one.
Next knit stitch (KL). Next, we continue the pattern and alternating the “fur” element and the LP until the end of the row. In the next row we knit all the LPs behind the front wall. Carefully hold the “fur” loops with your finger and knit the LP. We knit a row with purl loops (IP). All LP again. Next comes a row of “fur”.
We continue to knit the fabric according to the principle: one row of “fur”, three rows of stockinette stitch. Knit as high as you need to completely cover the baby's neck. As a result, we will fold the fabric to create a tight-fitting scarf. Now you need to make the clasp. Here you can sew on several buttons, hooks, or, which is even more convenient for an active baby, Velcro.
Let's decorate our scarf with a bright pompom in the shape of a strawberry. This decorative element is more suitable for a girl, but for a boy, using the same principle, you can make a pompom in the form soccer ball. Many needlewomen have had to make pom-poms with their own hands more than once, but not everyone knows that there is a certain pattern, and if you follow the correct alternation of colors, you can get such an accessory. These pom-poms can be used to decorate any children's clothing: hats, mittens, sweaters. You can also make pom-poms with your children; this activity should especially captivate girls.
Let's start by cutting out two pompom templates from cardboard. And here is a diagram of winding yarn. Pass a green thread between the templates; at the end of the work we will fix its pompom. We start with red yarn. We wrap it tightly around the template in two rows.
Now we need yarn white. Make four turns around the template. Now we again tightly wrap the red thread in two rows. We make four more turns with white thread. And again red yarn.
We wrap green yarn several times on one side of the template. Using a hook, secure the free edges of the threads. The green thread that we placed between the templates at the beginning needs to be pulled towards each other. Using scissors, cut all the threads from the top. We tie a green thread tightly into several knots.
It turns out like this pom-pom.
Now, using scissors, you need to “cut” the pompom so that its shape begins to resemble a strawberry.
All that remains is to sew the strawberry onto the finished product. You can make several of these strawberries and sew them along the edge. An original knitted children's scarf for your baby is ready!
From early autumn to mid-spring, a scarf is one of the most popular accessories in our climate. It performs two functions at the same time: it covers the neck from the wind and allows you to complement and complete the image. A children's knitted scarf for every mother is a real field for self-expression.
Fashionable styles and models
Scarf collar
In everyday life, such a scarf is called a shirtfront. Very functional item! This accessory does not get lost when moving, fits snugly to the neck and covers part of the chest and shoulders. Pay attention to the edge of the shirtfront: it can be rounded or square. Usually boys prefer the square version, while girls prefer the softer, rounded one.
The shirtfront can be worn over the head, or it can have a clasp at the back. Clasp types:
- buttons;
- hooks;
- "Velcro" - Velcro.
If the hooks and Velcro remain inside, then the buttons can be a decorative element and be in the most visible place.
When choosing a collar scarf, it is worth considering that it is worn under outerwear. Accordingly, it does not necessarily have to be combined with a jacket or coat. But there should be harmony with what is worn underneath - a blouse, a jumper, a bodysuit. You can have several similar scarves in different colors, or you can get by with one universal one.
With pom-poms
Fluffy wool balls add fun and lightness knitted clothes! You can no longer hide such a scarf inside; its place is on the neck of the coat. Most often, pompoms are located at the ends of the scarf - one at a time or several at a time.
The absolute hit of recent seasons is large fur pom-poms. They can be purchased at sewing supply stores or online. The accessory, decorated with a pompom made of natural fur, looks expensive and stylish.
Pom-poms sewn along the entire length look very elegant on a children's scarf. They can be strengthened randomly, or you can lay out some kind of pattern with them.
With the help of pompoms you can diversify any banal scarf that you have. Choose a suitable color combination and make pompoms with your own hands, as shown in the picture:
By the way, tassels look no less original on children's scarves. This option is good for both boys and girls.
Knitted sets
The combination of “hat + scarf” (and maybe also gloves or mittens) is the culmination of the image. A harmonious combination of a headdress and a scarf with each other and with outerwear always attracts the attention of others.
- Kids and their mothers really like animal-themed accessories. Owl hats, hats with ears (hares, bears, cats), hats with eyes - the scope for imagination is unlimited.
Please note that the headdress in this case is the main accent. The scarf is more modest and only supports the main motive. But it can also be the other way around. Animal scarves, for example, a cat scarf, a snake scarf, a crocodile or a dachshund, look original and exclusive. The hat here should be laconic so that the image is not overloaded.
- For older children knitted set may be close to the adult version. However, an interesting knitting (for example, with “bumps”), bright colors of yarn or an interesting pattern will definitely emphasize the young age of the owner.
Scarf tie
Unusual model scarf that is suitable for both adults and children. At one end of such a product a loop is knitted into which the opposite end is threaded. The accessory ends up crossed on the neck, like a tied tie. At the same time - no knots, which children don’t like so much!
At first glance, this is more of a girlish scarf, although you can also find a “boyish” version: it’s all about the color, length and possible design of the ends. For kids, you can knit an animal face or any other decoration on the loop. This accessory is quite appropriate to wear not only outdoors, but also indoors.
Colors
Children's yarn is full of bright colors. The choice of color is limited only by the desire of the child and the compatibility of the color of the scarf with outerwear.
- Girls prefer bright colors - red, yellow, orange, pink. To young ladies Delicate colors are also great, for example, beige, soft blue, dusty pink.
- For boys - blue, brown, green, gray, which can be diluted with bright colors if desired.
Material
The more natural fibers a material contains, the better. For children's clothing, this is an almost unshakable rule. The most warm views yarn:
- angora;
- alpaca;
- merino;
- goat fluff.
They are pleasant to the touch and conduct air well, which means they conserve heat. But a small percentage of synthetics should still be present - this gives the product strength and elasticity. The ideal combination is 80% wool and 20% acrylic.
Mercerized cotton is good for demi-season scarves.
How to wear
The simplest and most unpretentious option is to tie a scarf around your neck with the ends hanging freely. This is how ordinary scarves are tied so that they perform the main function, i.e. warmed up. The knot on the neck can be hidden by straightening the scarf so that the ends hang on the chest exactly one above the other. Children can tie a knot at the back. If a child goes down the slide or plays in the winter active games, it is safer to tidy up the ends of the scarf.
The cold season is the best time to spend weekday evenings and weekends in the warmth of home. On such days, you want to do something calm and pleasant to maintain a peaceful mood and not succumb to boredom.
Stop your choice on knitting and you will immediately understand that this is the most best option. Why? If only because it is relaxing and fits perfectly into the general sleepiness of gray, cold days. This is also a great way to diversify your wardrobe with a beautiful scarf with pom-poms, with which even the coldest winter will become warmer and brighter.
As easy as shelling pears
A scarf is one of the easiest items of clothing to knit. Therefore, you will not experience any particular difficulties in creating it. It is perfect for those who are still new to knitting. And to be 100% sure of the result, download the pattern and procedure for knitting a scarf with pom-poms at the end of this page.
Another benefit of having pompoms is that they make the scarf quite interesting without the need to use material different colors. However, if you like a variety of bright colors, then go for it. Your imagination is limited only by your desires.
For adults and children
Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful children's accessory. Any child will be delighted with such a wonderful gift and will wear it with great pleasure.
But adults should not refuse such a bright element of clothing. How else to maintain a cheerful mood in the fall and winter, if not with the help of a bright and cheerful outfit?
And if men prefer to look more serious, then girls and women definitely should not limit their image to ordinary things. After all, this is a great way to attract attention and significantly rejuvenate your image.
I have already written that there are now a lot of yarns on sale that are interesting in texture. One of these is pom pom yarn. The yarn is beautiful... But what to do with it? How to knit with pompom yarn? Today we will learn how to knit a scarf from such yarn... And at the same time, we will take a closer look at the techniques of knitting yarn with pom-poms
How to knit with pompom yarn - master class
The main thing is to remember that we are only knitting the thread between the bobbles...
First way: twist the thread with your fingers, creating a loop and put it on the knitting needle Second way:
take a hook and make a loop in each stretch between the pompoms, as for crocheting))) and immediately transfer each loop to a knitting needle, or you can transfer it later)))
We cast on the required number of loops... Now,
A guide to knitting yarn with pompoms
- When knitting yarn with pompoms, the edge loop is not removed, but is always knitted!
- We only knit the thread between the pompoms!
- 1. Option: knit all the loops
When knitted this way, the pompoms seem to “look in both directions”, the knitting is loose, knitted very simply and quickly))) Garter stitch is used between the pompoms.
When knitting in this way, the pompoms seem to “look in one direction”; on one side you will see such braids, but on the other side they will not be visible))
With this knitting, the fabric will be denser than the previous one...
To create a very dense product, you can cast on two loops between the bobbins initially, using the first method, and knit them with stockinette stitch (option 2) 
I’ll say right away that I haven’t knitted anything in this way))) But it might be useful for something)))
how to bind off stitches when knitting yarn with pompoms
This is probably the most difficult thing in this process)))
The bottom line is that we knit one loop as usual, with a working thread, then we pull the next loop through it, which we then knit with a working thread, etc. It’s not clear, right?)))
Let's look: 
Here you have the last row in which you need to close off the loops. 
We take the hook in the right hand))) it will be more convenient... and knit a loop, as if we were just knitting a row... i.e. working thread between the pumps... 
you have a loop on your hook... now grab the loop from the left needle and pull it through the loop that is on the hook... There is a loop on the hook again, we will knit it with a working thread (from the ball) and so we will alternate until we have closed all the loops... 
You'll get something like this)))
And one more thing... it happens when the thread runs out and you need to continue it... of course, you can simply tie the threads together, but here it is possible that you will get a different distance between the pumps... and this is “not good”))) I suggest doing this : 
I assure you that this thickened pump will not stand out and no one will see it except you)))
I hope that you now understand how to knit from yarn with pom-poms and you can knit a scarf from such yarn, although in my case it’s more like a stole, its size is about 45 cm by 170 cm. Knitted from 250g. Turkish yarn with pom-poms “Verena” with knit stitches))) 
You probably noticed that my stole has something similar to tassels...
How to make scarf tassels from pom-pom yarn
How to do this... It's simple... when casting on loops, you create a loop not in every broach, but after two, i.e. skip 3 pompoms. Cast on 10 loops. 
it looks like this
We knit all subsequent rows loops through one pompom.
We knit until we get tired of it))) to the length we need. Don't forget that edge loops are knitted, not removed!
Knitted?))) Now we need to close the loops so that we get the same “tassels” as when casting on. We proceed as follows: we make loops, as I described above, but when you knit a loop with a working thread, skip three pom-poms))) 
When you have closed all the loops, cut the thread so that you have one “extra” pompom left. It needs to be secured, pull it through the last loop (from right to left) and simply sew it to the nearest pompom. Also sew on the pompom that “dangles” at the very beginning of the product (we got it when casting on loops))) 
All!!! Yarn scarf with pompoms is ready!!!
Of course, you don’t have to knit a scarf the same size as mine))) Just cast on not 10 stitches when you start knitting, but less, well, for example, 5... and your scarf will be much narrower and it will take half as many threads )))
Knitting a children's scarf with knitting needles is not difficult. You can take any pattern: stockinette stitch, 1x1 elastic, 2x2 elastic, tangle, determine the length and width of the scarf and that’s it.
