Features of crocheting a suit for a newborn
Before you begin the workflow, you should choose what parts your kit will consist of. This could be traditional pants and a jacket. Or you can complete it with an openwork jumpsuit, a flirty blouse and a hat. You can also include a sundress, jacket and booties in a set for a girl. The choice will depend on your desire.
You also first need to prepare the following material and tools:
- Yarn. It is purchased based on seasonality and density, but in any case it must be natural fiber.For winter - wool, alpaca or angora, and for summer - cotton, linen and silk. Pay attention to the quality of the threads, they should be soft enough;
Attention! To find out if the yarn is soft enough, touch your cheek with a skein. If you do not experience discomfort from the touch, then the material is suitable for work.
- The tool is selected according to the thickness of the thread. To do this, the fiber must be folded in half and compared with the thickness of the hook head;
- Decorative elements and fasteners. Most often, buttons are used in children's clothing, and it is better to use embroidery and ribbons as decoration.
