Peculiarities

The closer the cold weather comes, the more interest we show in warm, cozy things. And the more functional the thing, the better. And knitted clothes are something that has been popular and in demand at all times. This, however, is not surprising, because, firstly, many people can knit. With a little patience, you can become a fashion designer yourself. And, secondly, from the moment the Italian fashion house presented knitted items on the catwalk at one of the shows, their popularity is only growing every year.

An important feature is that knitted sweaters, skirts and dresses have become an attribute not only of the cold season, but have also taken a strong place among the summer urban wardrobe of most fashionistas.

Currently, in the demi-season, knitted coats have become very popular. They are extremely comfortable to wear, soft, warm and have a completely different shape and texture. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a thing from adult fashion smoothly flowed into children's fashion. Many mothers can regularly create a unique knitted coat for their daughters, or they can buy coats in children's fashion stores.

How to choose

You need to select a knitted coat for a girl based on the child’s preferences and the functions for which it is bought or knitted. If you need an item for warmth and everyday wear, then you should pay attention to warmer items with a higher wool content. They will hold heat and shape better. If you need something for cool summer evenings, then you can take lighter models.

For children, it is important that outerwear does not interfere with their play and running, so girls most often buy flared models that are not very long. You can safely take a knitted coat one or two sizes larger, since rolled up sleeves, as a rule, do not spoil the appearance of the item.

Popular styles and models

A knitted coat for a girl can be warm, voluminous, or maybe thin and light. Such things are knitted in different ways, crocheted, knitted, machine. There are a huge variety of ways to knit patterns today. This includes simple knitting and voluminous patterns and various braids and contours.

The styles of knitted coats for girls, as well as for adult women, are very diverse. There are elongated models, below the knee, and sometimes even to the floor. Although it will be difficult for a child to walk in such a thing, it is better that the maximum length of the coat is above the ankle. The classic length of outerwear for girls is knee length. Then it will be warm, and the coat will not interfere with movement.

Particular attention should be paid to models with raglan sleeves. Shoulders and sleeves knitted in a single fabric create the effect of softness and smoothness. The shoulder line is not expressed as clearly as in the classic version, which adds femininity to the entire look.

If the coat is designed for warm weather, for example, a summer evening, then a short trapezoidal model will look interesting. Skinny trousers or a flared skirt of the same length can complement the fashionista’s look. Also, for fairly warm weather, you can buy or knit a coat-jacket. Jackets came into children's fashion from adults, adding zest to a child's look. The jacket may have buttons, or it may have no fasteners at all. The most commonly used is a wide collar with a lapel. Coat-jacket styles can be fitted, straight, trapezoidal.

A coat with a high stand and a slight flaring of the skirt can add sophistication and sophistication to any girl. If the buttons are sewn only on the top part, then such a coat will look like a poncho.

For true fashionistas, you can choose a coat with a fur collar and cuffs. In this case, suede boots and gloves will look good.

In the demi-season, it is very practical to wear a coat with a hood. This is additional protection from cold and wind and from light drizzling rain. As a rule, models with a hood have a more classic shape and long sleeves.

Knitted coats can also be fastened in completely different ways. The classic option is buttons. They can be sewn in an even row, or they can be sewn diagonally. The number of buttons can vary from one to eight, creating a harmonious ensemble. Often, hooks are used for knitted items. Their advantage is that they are not visible and do not disrupt the overall image. Although, before using hooks, you should think about how suitable it is for the child and whether he can fasten them himself.

The simplest fastening option in children's outerwear is, of course, a zipper. If a zipper is used on a knitted children's coat, it is usually plastic. This is because the child will not be able to scratch himself and the threads of the coat will not cling so tightly. If a metal zipper was added to the item, it was done to enhance the rough style. Often such coats are accompanied by leather inserts in the area of ​​the sleeves, pockets or belt.

Current colors

When it comes to colors, the most popular colors in girls' clothing are undoubtedly pink and white. It’s hard to argue with the passion of most mothers for these shades, because it is in clothes of these colors that the girl looks very gentle and fresh.

But, nevertheless, modern fashion diversifies the usual children's palette with unexpected and very successful solutions. For example, in collections of children's outerwear you can often see all shades of yellow. Starting with a lemony, light tone and ending with a rich, almost orange one. The yellow color itself is very positive and in things designed for cloudy autumn days, it is the best choice for lifting your spirits.

Shades of brown have also become very popular in the last season. This warm, rich color adds coziness and comfort to every item. In brown, heavier and warmer coat models that use large, voluminous knitting look good. Such things go perfectly with fur, whether it matches the coat or a contrasting color, for example, white.

Red is the brightest color in existence and the most extravagant. The red color in children's clothes, in addition to being beautiful, is also functional, since a child in red clothes is better visible. A red knitted coat is always impressive. Shades can vary from scarlet to burgundy. The warmer the item, the darker the color, preferably. The dark color is less easily soiled and looks more harmonious on bulky items.

Material

In order to knit a coat, you need yarn that must contain at least thirty percent wool. Merino wool or alpaca wool are often used. This coat will keep its original shape and will not fray or stretch. If the fabric is looser, the protruding parts will be pressed down.

In addition to wool, yarn may contain:

• polyamide;
• silk;
• mohair;
• cotton;

Separately, it is worth highlighting the grass yarn. This is a type of yarn with piles of varying lengths, usually from half to several centimeters. Like any complex yarn, you need to knit it using satin stitch, since the pattern will still be covered with fibers.

What to wear with

A children's knitted coat is quite practical to wear and can be easily combined with other things. For example, with a medium-length coat, knitted dresses with a bright print - floral or abstract - look great. The color of the dress should be in harmony with the coat.

A casual and practical option is a coat with jeans. It is important here that the style of the coat is not very strict, but has a more free character. It can be any color. Patent leather boots can add completeness to the look.

Autumn is coming. Knit this wonderful coat for your baby. If you think that it is very easily soiled, choose a different color of yarn. In any case it will turn out great.

Size: 1.5-2 years - height 86-92 cm.

You will need:

White yarn YarnArt Charisma (80% wool, 20% polyamide; 200m/100g);

white fleece for lining – cut 1.45m x 1m;

large buttons – 4 pcs.;

a little chocolate-colored velvet ribbon;

hook No. 3, knitting needles No. 2; knitting needles No. 3.

1. Elastic band: alternate in order 2 LP, 2 IP. From the wrong side we knit according to the pattern.
2. “Garter stitch”: We knit all rows with facial loops.
3. Checkerboard pattern: perform according to Figure 1.
4. We perform the “rice” pattern as follows: rows 1 and 3, as well as all subsequent odd rows: 1LP, 1IP – alternate. For purl rows (even rows), we knit all knit stitches with purl stitches, and all purl stitches with knit stitches.
5. We knit the “braid” pattern according to Figure 2.
6. We carry out the “braid” and “medallion” patterns according to Figures 3 and 4, respectively.

Back: cast on 98 stitches on knitting needles No. 2.5, that is, 2 edge stitches and 96 warp stitches. Next we knit 11 rows with an elastic band. Then we switch to needles No. 3 and knit 4 rows in garter stitch. After that, 9 rows with a “checkerboard” pattern - we get three squares in height. Next we knit as follows: 3 rows – garter stitch, 12 rows – “rice”, 4 rows – garter stitch. Then we knit 7 rows - stockinette stitch, while making additions in the last purl row. Next, we perform the “braid” pattern in three repeats. At the same time, in the last purl row we make decreases - for this we knit every 4th and 5th loop purl together. Next we knit 4 repeats with a braided pattern and move on to the medallion patterns. After we started performing “medallions,” we need to decrease for the armholes: 1 time * 4 loops, 4 times * 2 loops in every second row (that is, 12 loops in total). Next we knit two repeats, 2 repeats with “medallions”, knit four rows in garter stitch, then knit “rice”. Next, after 16 cm from the beginning of closing the loops, it is necessary to close the middle 18 loops, and in the subsequent front row we close 8 loops on each side, respectively. Already 18 cm from the beginning of closing the loops, we close the remaining 20 loops of the right and left shoulders, respectively. The back is ready. By the way, the trapezoidal shape is obtained solely due to the drawings; no reductions on the sides are necessary.
Right front of the coat: We cast on 60 stitches on knitting needles No. 2.5 (that is: 48 stitches + 10 placket + 2 edge stitches). We perform all the necessary patterns on 48 loops, and on the outermost 10 we always knit the bar in garter stitch.

For 48 loops + 2 edge loops we knit 11 rows with an elastic band. Then we switch to needles No. 3 and knit 4 rows in garter stitch. Then we knit 9 rows with a chessboard (it turns out three squares in height). Then we proceed as follows: 3 rows – garter stitch, 12 rows – “rice”, 4 rows – garter stitch. Then we knit 7 rows of stockinette stitch and in the last purl we make an increase in this way - we pull out the crossed purl between the loops after every 4th loop. Next we knit a braid pattern in 3 repeats. In the last purl row we make decreases - we knit the 4th and 5th loops together with a purl loop. Next we knit a “braid” - 4 repeats, move on to the “medallions”. After that. how we started the “medallions” pattern - we begin decreasing for the armholes - 1 time * 4 loops, 4 times * 2 loops in every second row (12 loops in total). We knit 2 repeats of “medallions”, then we perform 4 rows in garter stitch, then we knit in “rice”.
Next, after 13 cm from the beginning of closing the loops, we close for the neck of the coat, starting from the left in every second row - 10 loops of the bar, then 1 time * 4 loops, 2 times * 3 loops, 4 times 2 loops. Then, 12 cm after the beginning of closing the loops, it is necessary to close the remaining 20 shoulder loops. The right shelf is ready, We knit the left one in the same way, symmetrically.
Coat Sleeve: We cast on 44 loops on knitting needles No. 2.5, that is, 42 sts. + 2 edges. We knit 17 rows with an elastic band, switch to needles No. 3 in the last purl row and make additions - pull out the crossed purl between the loops after every fourth loop. Next we knit a braid pattern, 2 repeats. After that, “braid” 2 rapports and move on to “medallions”. In this case, after the elastic band, we make additions on the sides, one loop in every fifth row.
Further after that. As we began to perform “medallions”, we need to make additions on the sides - respectively, 1 loop on the sides in every third row. Thus, having knitted one repeat of “medallions” (74 loops are obtained), we begin the formation of a round sleeve roll. To do this, we proceed as follows: in every second row we perform decreases on the sides - 1 time * 5 loops, 3 times * 4 loops, 4 times * 3 loops, 4 times * 2 loops, 1 time * 5 loops, then close off the remaining 10 loops.
We knit the second sleeve by analogy.
For the hood: cast on 44 stitches on knitting needles No. 3 (32 + 10 bar + 2 edge stitches). In this case, we perform the patterns on 32 loops, and 10 loops of the strap - all the time in garter stitch. For 32 loops + 2 edge stitches, we knit 12 rows with “rice”, at the same time we perform increases on the left in every second row - 1 time * 3 loops, 3 times * 1 loop. Next we knit 12 rows with “checkerboard”, 2 times with garter stitch, and then continue with “rice” - 8 rows. Then we move on to the “medallions” pattern - we knit 2 repeats. Next, we knit 8 rows with “rice”, and on the next eight rows we make symmetrical decreases in every second row on the left - 3 times * 1 loop, 1 time * 3 loops. Next we make the symmetrical detail of the hood. We knit 16 rows with a “rice” pattern. At the same time, we simultaneously make increases on the left in every second row - 1 time * 3 loops, 3 times * 1 loop. Next we knit two repeats using a medallion pattern. Then we continue with the “rice” pattern for 8 rows, 2 rows of garter stitch, “checkerboard” - 12 rows. Next we knit 6 rows of the “rice” pattern and on the next six rows we make symmetrical decreases in every second row - 3 times * 1 loop, 1 time * 3 loops.
Lining. Before you start, you need to wash all knitted parts of the coat in the wool mode, at a temperature of 30 degrees. Dry everything on a towel on a flat surface and steam with an iron. Next, we place all our parts on a sheet of paper and carefully trace them, while taking into account the bends of the lining. The lining should be shorter than the entire product by the width of the elastic band. We sew together all the lining parts and sew them to the coat, starting from the middle of the fold of the hood.
We make pockets and loops.
We cast on 28 loops. We knit 2 repeats and 5 rows with a “braid” pattern – stockinette stitch. In this way we make two parts (pockets).
For the loops, we crochet 24 loops and tie them with a single crochet. We will need 8 such parts. We sew the ends of the four parts together with white thread to create a loop. We thread the remaining strips through the button and sew the ends together. Assembly: we make all the seams of the knitted parts. We decorate the pockets with bows made of velvet ribbon. Next you need to carefully baste the fleece lining. We sew eyelets and buttons to the straps, and sew a velvet ribbon bow to the hood.
