It's not difficult to do it yourself, you just need to have basic knitting skills, decide on the length and color of the product, and choose a model. Begin.
Tips for choosing yarn for a children's scarf
Today, handicraft stores have a huge selection of yarn of all colors. For a children's scarf, you can choose any color you like.
As for the composition, there are nuances. First we need to decide what season we are targeting. If it is winter, then acrylic, wool or acrylic + wool will do in a ratio of approximately 50/50, 40/60 or 60/40. We select the thickness of the thread at the rate of 150–250 g/100 m.
ATTENTION! Young children sometimes have an allergy to wool, in which case it is better to use acrylic yarn.
If you plan to wear the scarf in warmer weather, then cotton threads are suitable. You can also use acrylic or wool threads, but in this case, opt for thinner yarn, for example, 400–500 g/100 m.
Choosing a scarf model
There are many models of scarves, these include a hood scarf, a headscarf or bactu, a snood and, of course, the most common straight one. Each of these patterns can be made unique by using different knitting patterns or combining them with each other.
The most popular are the simple scarf and the snood scarf, as they are more comfortable to wear., and this is one of the most important criteria when choosing clothes and accessories for a child.
