An unusual knitted Adidas suit for boys often becomes the first suit for beginners. Despite its rather complex appearance, the suit is suitable for those who are just starting to understand knitting. Such an experiment will not only brighten up the leisure time of a mother on maternity leave or a retired grandmother, but will also become a practical gift. An Adidas suit can become an original home suit for a child, in which you can also go for a walk. Attached to this article are diagrams and patterns of a knitted Adidas suit for boys.

Technically, this costume can be based on any tracksuit that matches your yarn. For the main fabric, you can use knitting needles No. 2.5 and No. 3; we recommend crocheting elastic bands No. 2.5. On average, a knitted suit for a 1-2 year old boy will need 7 skeins.The most important thing is not to forget about the stripes and initially lay the grooves on the side parts using purl loops, and the stripes themselves can be crocheted on top. Depending on your skills, you can add pockets and a hood to the suit.

The history of the Adadas brand, and why its style is so recognizable

Let's first look at why this particular brand has inspired many craftswomen to experiment with such an unusual type of costume. Despite the fact that the Adidas company (more precisely, at first it was a small family workshop of the Bavarian Dassler family, which only after the 1940s would become the iconic Adidas) appeared in the 1920s in Germany. Initially, craftsmen made shoes intended exclusively for athletes. The first iconic sweatpants with three stripes (and subsequently suits) appeared only in 1952. Initially, the famous Adidas pants had only three stripes located in place of the stripes. The famous trefoil, which became one of the variants of company logos, appeared only 10 years later, in 1972. The fashionable and practical Adidas suit for boys reached Russia only in the 1990s - and became the favorite clothing of many Russians. And at the end of the 1990s, Adidas became a real global concern.

Fashion for knitted items

In 2020, a fashion for knitted tracksuits appeared, and the “sporty chic” style was enriched with a collection of stylish and cozy suits in which you can safely go out not only to take out the trash, but also to meet with friends. Fashion designers are clearly not going to stop - the 2021 collections are consolidating the trend for comfortable and stylish knitted suits of all shades.

Where did the idea of ​​knitting an Adidas suit come from?

The trend for a knitted suit for Adidas boys has spread so much that on the Pinterest website, when you search for “knitted Adidas,” you can find hundreds of photos of finished products. Judging by the signatures, most of the authors are Russian-speaking or residents of former Soviet republics. This love for Adidas suits can be explained by nostalgia for the 1990s, which neither the main contingent, grown boys who wore Adidas tracksuits, nor reputational scandals could overcome.

Caring for a knitted suit for boys Adidas

Like any product, the condition of a knitted Adidas suit largely depends on the quality of the yarn. You should not skimp on this point, even if you are just starting to work with knitting needles and crochet.

Here are some universal rules for caring for knitted items:

• Turn your tracksuit inside out before washing;
• knitted items suggest that washing should only be done by hand in cool water, otherwise the item may become damaged;
• use a special detergent for washing woolen items or a detergent for washing delicate fabrics;
• strong friction can also negatively affect the condition of the product, so the best option would be to soak the tracksuit in lukewarm water, and then dry it at room temperature on a horizontal surface, after wringing it out in a towel (it is not recommended to twist knitted items).
