Knitted bib for a girl. Pattern and description for beginners, children's on buttons

A bib is an indispensable accessory in the cold season. This article provides diagrams and descriptions of knitting this product with knitting needles. This practical and fashionable wardrobe item is suitable for both girls and boys.

What is a bib, its advantages and disadvantages

To warm the child's throat in cold weather, you need to use a scarf, which is not always convenient. An alternative is a bib - a warm knitted collar, like in a sweater, which smoothly goes to the chest and does not interfere with the child.

The advantage of this accessory is that the child will not be able to take it off by himself, thus the throat always remains warm. The bib is easy to put on and take off, this is also important, since children do not like this process.

There can be only one drawback - it is incorrectly selected yarn. The yarn should be soft and lint-free, prickly yarn can cause irritation on the baby's skin, and lint gets into the eyes and mouth.

Types of bibs for children

There are different types of bibs:

• with buttons on the side or without buttons at all;
• smart;
• openwork;
• raglan bib.

Preparation, calculations, necessary materials.

A knitted collar for a girl (the diagram and description of the knitting process will help you knit a convenient and beautiful accessory step by step) is knitted in 1-2 days.

Yarn.	Before you start working, you need to choose yarn, preferably natural. For example, cotton or bamboo, angora wool or merino wool.
Knitting needles.	After selecting the yarn, you need to buy a set of knitting needles. On the skein of threads, there is a tag, on it you can find the optimal size of the knitting needles needed for work and the length of the thread. It is better to buy circular knitting needles rather than straight ones, they are more convenient for knitting.
Markers.	These are multi-colored paper clips, designed specifically for knitting, they are needed to mark the beginning of a row, the places where loops are added or raglan lines begin.
Measuring tape.	It is needed to take measurements and to measure the final product.
Sample.	You can't refuse to knit a sample, it is necessary for further calculation of the number of loops for knitting. It is necessary to cast on twenty loops and knit ten cm with the main pattern. When the sample is knitted, it must be washed and ironed, then measure with a measuring tape and make calculations.
Taking measurements.	It is important that the bib is easy to put on and at the same time fits tightly around the neck. To do this, you need to take the following measurements: head circumference and chest circumference.
Calculations.	To find out how many loops you will need, you need to measure the circumference of your head and multiply the resulting number by the number of loops in one cm. The collar will be knitted to a certain length, so you need to know how many rows you need to knit. To do this calculation, multiply the required length by the sum of rows in one cm. Do all calculations according to the sample.

Selecting threads and knitting needles

The needles are numbered according to their thickness. On needles numbered 1, 2 and 3, openwork items are knitted from thin yarn. For needles numbered 3, 4 and 5, thicker yarn is needed. There is a label on the skein of yarn that helps to determine the required number of needles for knitting.

It happens that there are knitting needles, but the number is unknown, for this, a sheet of paper is taken and a hole is made in it with the same knitting needle, the hole is measured, which coincides with the number of the knitting needles.

If you have threads, but they are without a label, and it is not clear what number of needles is needed, you need to know one rule: the thickness of the needles should be 2 times greater than the thickness of the thread. You need to put 2 threads together and measure their diameter. Accordingly, needles of the same diameter are needed.

Knitting needles come in different types:

• blankets and sweaters are conveniently knitted on long, straight knitting needles;
• Socks and mittens are best knitted on short knitting needles: there should be 5 of them.

Knitting needles are made from various materials:

• trees;
• plastics;
• aluminum;
• metal.

For beginner knitters, it is better to take metal needles, they are slippery and loops move well on them, they are durable and do not bend, these needles are used for any type of yarn. There are different types of yarn for knitting: wool, synthetic and natural yarn.

Wool yarn is a thread made from animal hair, such as:

• merino;
• alpaca;
• angora;
• mohair.

There are many advantages of this yarn: it is soft, warm, light. There are also disadvantages: during wear, the product may felt, fluff may roll up, the appearance will change. To prevent this from happening, yarn manufacturers began to add synthetic or natural yarn to wool thread. The yarn becomes more practical, and the price is much cheaper. Products knitted from wool yarn will warm you in winter.

Natural yarn is made from natural fibers of cotton, bamboo and flax. This yarn is good because it is pleasant to wear in the warm season and leaves a comfortable feeling even in extreme heat. But there is one drawback of cotton yarn - it shrinks a lot when washed.

Synthetic yarn is acrylic. The advantages of acrylic: soft, light, comfortable, moderately warm, but it is not suitable for warming up in the cold season. Like any synthetic thread, acrylic does not absorb moisture at all, so knitted products made of acrylic will show themselves better in spring and autumn.
