Spring

In spring we want romance and bright colors, so a variety of colors and models are suitable for this season’s looks – both colorful and delicate.

Stylish beanie hat

This spring, a thin beanie hat has become a basic item in a woman's wardrobe. In many magazines, you can find knitted models, but a knitted hat looks much more interesting and original, especially with an unusual pattern.

Knitting such a thing with knitting needles for girls will not take much time. This option is ideal for a girl from 3 years and older. The main thing is to correctly calculate how many loops need to be cast on.

To work you will need:

• Any children's yarn with a thread thickness of 120 m/50 g. For a head circumference of approximately 52 cm, you will need about 1.5 skeins (80-90 g).
• Thin elastic band.
• You will also need circular knitting needles No. 2.5 for the elastic band and No. 3.5 for the main pattern.

This pattern is knitted in the round and when knitted loosely it is quite elastic, so it can be suitable for a head circumference of up to 54 cm.

Job Description:

1. The required number of stitches, corresponding to the child's head circumference, are cast on circular knitting needles No. 2.5. Then 7-9 rows are knitted with a 1x1 elastic band. It is better to add a thin elastic band to the knitting to give the edge more elasticity.
2. Next, you need to change the knitting needles to #3 and continue knitting with purl stitches in a circle, and in the front part of the hat, knit a feather pattern. For convenience, you can mark the area where the pattern will be with markers so as not to count the stitches.

Pattern diagram:

3. After the feather is completely knitted, knit 3 more rows, and begin decreasing on the crown of the hat. For even decreasing, it is necessary to divide all the loops into 4 parts and distribute them on double-pointed needles. Then knit according to the following pattern:

In odd rows, at the beginning of the needle, a decrease is made with a tilt to the right, and at the end of the needle, with a tilt to the left (2 loops are decreased on each needle). In even rows, everything is knitted with face loops. When 8 loops remain on the needles, they are pulled together and knitting is finished.

Cardigan "Swallow"

Knitting for girls allows you to create unique and stylish things. This spring, you simply can’t do without a cardigan with a simple pattern. This is a basic model that can be knitted for girls for 1 year (3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 9 years).

For work you need acrylic or mixed yarn of 100 g/65 m thickness. Consumption will be within 2-3 skeins depending on the size. You will also need circular and stocking needles No. 4.5 and 4 buttons.

The number of loops is indicated in the work, based on the knitting density of 1 cm = 2 loops.

Job Description:

• Cast on 68 (68, 71, 72, 75) stitches on circular knitting needles and knit 5 (5, 7, 7, 7) rows in garter stitch (all stitches are knit). In the next purl row, 3 stitches before the end of knitting, make the first buttonhole stitch.
• In the new row, the first 6 loops are knitted as front loops, forming a garter stitch strip. Next, 56 (56, 59, 60, 63) loops are knitted as front loops and 29 (33, 35, 38, 40) loops are added evenly. The row is finished with 6 loops of garter stitch.

Summer

Stylish romper for baby

Knitting for girls allows even the smallest fashionistas to dress in comfortable and practical clothes.

A cotton thread romper is a great solution for a hot summer. For work you will need cotton yarn with the addition of viscose of 100 g / 425 m thickness, circular knitting needles No. 2.

Pattern Description:

Job Description:

1. For convenience, it is better to knit 2 parts at once on one knitting needles, this will help to avoid confusion in the rows. Separately, 60 loops are cast on for each leg and 5 rows are knitted with the front surface. Then both pieces are knitted 12 rows with the main pattern.
2. After this, you need to make increases in the front rows. On both sides in the front rows, 3 loops are added, then 9 loops are added on one side to form a strip, and 3 on the other to maintain symmetry and uniform expansion.
3. Both parts are joined into one. There should be 162 loops on the needles.

Next, the whole fabric is knitted as follows: a hollow cord is formed from 3 loops, then 5 strap loops, 1 ip, the main part is openwork, 1 ip again, 5 strap loops and 3 loops are a hollow cord. So you need to knit 68 rows. After this, you need to make decreases to narrow the fabric. Knit 2 knit stitches, then 2 loops together with the front one, but without touching the strap loops. Knit another 20 rows this way.

3. The main fabric is divided into 3 parts: 54 loops remain for the back and 36 loops for the shelves. To form the armhole in each front row, you need to decrease 1 loop 3 times and then knit 12 rows.
4. To form the neckline on the shelves, decreases are made in each front row according to the pattern 9-3-2-1-1-1. After 10 rows, all loops are closed and shoulder seams are sewn.
5. A clasp and decorative trim can be added upon request.

Shorts with ruffles

For older girls, you can choose this original model of knitted shorts:

Basic pattern:

Pattern Description:

• Rows 1–6: all stitches knit.
• Row 7: 1 knit stitch, yarn over, 2 knit stitches, 3 knit stitches, 3 knit stitches, yarn over, 1 knit stitch.
• Row 8: all knit stitches.
• Row 9: repeat row 7
• Row 10: all knit stitches.
• Row 11: repeat row 7.
• Row 12: all knit stitches.
• Row 13: repeat row 1.

For work you will need cotton yarn with the addition of viscose, but not too thin, about 100 g / 300 m. You also need to take the appropriate knitting needles.

Step by step execution:

1. Knitting starts from the bottom. In order for the shorts to fit better and the edges not to curl, it is better to knit the first row with a double thread or crochet the edges at the end. For each back part of the leg, a number of loops is cast on equal in length to ¼ of the hip circumference. To this number of loops, another 11 loops must be added for the gusset.

Considering that the pattern repeat is 12 loops, the number of loops should be a multiple of this number. In order for the pattern to converge evenly, on the right leg you need to finish the whole repeat and knit 11 loops, and on the left leg knit the same 11 gusset loops and then start with the whole first pattern repeat.

Having dialed the required number of loops, you need to knit about 11 cm, and then make decreases according to the scheme 3-3-2-1-1 in each row. Both parts are knitted the same way, and then connected on one knitting needle, and if all the decreases are done correctly, the pattern will match the rapports. Then the required height of the product is knitted vertically (side seam) and the loops are closed

2. For the front part of the shorts, 2 leg pieces are also cast on. The number of loops for them is equal to ¼ of the hip circumference + 18 gusset loops. They are placed on the knitting needles in the same way as for the back part. The gusset is formed by decreasing 5-4-2-2-1-1-1.
3. The legs are joined into a single piece and knitted again to the desired height, then closed. If desired, the edge can be made hollow to insert a drawstring or elastic band there later. The front and back parts are sewn along the side seam.

Autumn

Robin Hat

This Coco Chanel-style hat has been leading fashion trends for years now. The best thing about it is how easy it is to make.

For work you will need yarn with a mixed composition of acrylic and wool and knitting needles of the appropriate size. To make the brim of the hat hold its shape better, you can knit it with knitting needles 0.5-1 mm smaller than the crown.

The size of this hat should be calculated based on the head circumference + 5-7 cm for the wrap. Moreover, the wrap shelf is also knitted with knitting needles of a smaller diameter than the main fabric.

Job Description:

• First, knit the brim of the hat. They can be knitted with garter stitch, but so that the fabric is quite dense. You can also try a pearl pattern of alternating front and back loops.
• You need to cast on enough stitches so that the width of the fabric is 15-20 cm. Then you need to knit 5-7 cm of the future wrap. After that, switch to knitting needles one size larger and knit a strip of length corresponding to the circumference of the head. In this case, you need to take into account how the thread stretches.

• Join the resulting fabric into a ring with an overlap and secure. Cast on stitches along the top edge and knit 1-3 rows without decreasing with face stitches. Then start making uniform decreases so that the narrowing goes in a spiral. When there are 8 stitches left, cut the thread, leaving a long end and pull the crown with it.

The finished hat can be decorated with large buttons or a brooch.

Lalo style cardigan

Knitting for girls is impossible to imagine without this bright and stylish wardrobe item. Cardigans in the style of "Lalo" are very popular among adult women and little fashionistas. This voluminous thing is very cozy and is perfect for autumn.

These cardigans can be knitted in one piece or from separate strips, which are then connected according to the following pattern:

Braid options for "Lalo":

• A more complex option is the Asian spikelet.

This pattern turns out to be more openwork and voluminous, and also does not require the use of additional knitting needles and is suitable for beginners.

Pattern Description:

1. The number of loops that corresponds to the desired length of the braid is collected. It should be a multiple of 6. Edge loops are included in these loops.
2. Knit 4 rows of stockinette stitch. This is the base of the braid. You can knit 2 rows or 6. The main thing is that knitting the first half of the spikelet begins with the front row.
3. The first 6 loops are knitted as front loops, then the knitting is turned and these loops are knitted as purl. So these 6 loops are knitted for 10 rows with front surface. In the 11th row these 6 loops are knitted and 3 more loops are knitted as front loops from the main fabric.
4. The work is turned again and the second row of 6 purl loops is knitted. Another 3 loops remain on the needle. Knitting of a new "grain" of the spikelet is repeated from rows 3 to 10. In row 11, 3 loops are again added from the main fabric. So the "grains" are knitted to the end. In the last grain in row 11, the first 3 loops are removed, and the next 3 are knitted as faces.
5. After this, 4 rows are knitted again with the front surface. After this, knitting of the second half of the spikelet begins from the inside. They are knitted according to the same principle, only now the back rows are considered odd.

The sleeves are knitted according to the following pattern:

The finished product is assembled from parts that are sewn together. The convenience of this cardigan is precisely that it can be easily adjusted to almost any size, and the braids provide some freedom in assembly.

For such a hat you need to take mixed yarn with a thickness of approximately 50 g/225 m. Needles No. 3 for the main work and No. 2.5 for the elastic.

Job Description:

1. Knitting begins with an elastic band around the face. It is knitted in a circle and for this, use knitting needles No. 2.5. Having knitted about 5 cm with a 1x1 elastic band, you need to close the loops into a hollow cord so that you can insert the ties, and then knit 2 more rows and move on to knitting needles No. 3.
2. The loops under the chin can be temporarily closed or dropped onto an additional knitting needle. The main part of the hat is knitted using the same principle as the heel of the sock. All loops are divided into 3 parts and only the central one is knitted with the capture of the outer loops from the two side parts. This should be continued until there are no more loops left on the sides.

The pattern used for this part is:

3. The remaining loops and the loops that were dropped onto a spare knitting needle are transferred to one knitting needle and the neck is knitted in a circle with a 2x2 elastic band. After the main length of the neck is knitted, all the loops are divided into 4 parts according to the raglan pattern and the collar is knitted.
4. Increases on both sides of the raglan line are made every other row. At the end of the work, the loops are closed, and the crown of the hat can be decorated with pompoms made of yarn or fur.

Overalls "Morozko"

For work you will need thick threads with the addition of wool and acrylic of about 50 g / 250 m, knitting needles No. 3 for the front surface and No. 2.5 for patterns and elastic bands.

 

Job Description:

1. Knitting starts from the top. To do this, cast on a number of stitches that corresponds to the child's chest circumference. Then knit 10-15 cm with a 4x4 braid pattern or a simple 2x2 elastic band. This part should be knitted with knitting needles No. 2.5.
2. It is necessary to switch to knitting needles No. 3 and continue knitting with the front surface. If necessary, you can make uniform increases, especially if such pants are knitted for a small child and it is assumed that they will be put on over a diaper. You need to knit the required number of rows and reach the place where the pants will diverge into 2 legs.
3. The number of loops on the knitting needles should be a multiple of 2. Having divided them in half, one part should be transferred to an additional knitting needle, and the remaining loops should be distributed evenly on the double-pointed knitting needles and knit a leg of the desired length. At the end of the leg, you can repeat the braid pattern or elastic. The second leg is knitted in the same way.
4. Close a small opening at the junction of the legs, knit the straps. They can be collected directly from the edge loops, or knitted separately. All that remains is to sew on the buttons and the overalls are ready.

When choosing a knitting model for girls, you need to take into account the parameters of the child, then, having adjusted the model according to all parameters, you can get a unique and stylish piece of clothing that will attract attention to its little owner.
