Video on the topic of the article

In this article we will look at how to make a knitted coat for a girl. Unlike a cardigan, which has a similar pattern, it is obviously knitted more loosely - after all, it is worn over other clothes. Therefore, both the front and the back should be wide, and it is especially important not to make a mistake in the depth of the armhole and neckline so that the child can move comfortably. Whether to use lining and insulation is up to you. On the one hand, they will make the item warmer, but on the other hand, the product can turn out to be bulky. It is better to use yarn for a baby's coat that is dense and quite thick. Patterns should be chosen that are not loose and hold their shape. However, there are also options for a summer, openwork coat for children.

On the Internet you can find a great many articles like “Knitted coat for a girl with knitting needles with a diagram and description.” However, many of them are aimed at an audience of experienced needlewomen, which means that it is quite difficult for beginners to figure out what’s what. For those who cannot yet confidently call themselves a master of knitting needles and crochet, it is necessary to select simple patterns and simple patterns. In this case, our article will be an excellent assistant for your “manual” creativity.

“Simple, but tasteful”

It is very easy to master knitting for children; a coat for girls will be the first right step in this. This thing is ridiculously simple to knit, but looks quite stylish. Even a craftswoman who has barely started knitting can handle it without difficulty. The main pattern is garter stitch.

The coat is quite versatile, as it may well suit both newborns and older children. You just need to choose the right size. The description of the work is presented for knitting things for a child aged 1 year.

The following measurements were used:

• Chest 61 cm;
• From the shoulder 28 cm;
• Sleeve, including roll-up cuff, 19 cm.

For the coat you will need 100% wool yarn (about 8 skeins, 50g/104m), knitting needles No. 3.5 and No. 4, several buttons.

Regarding work density: 48 rows of 22 loops - 10 cm using number 4 knitting needles. We start knitting from the back.

1) Back. Cast on 67 stitches on 4mm needles. Approximately 16 cm is knitted with knit stitches only, the final row is made of purl stitches. To complete the armholes, you need to close 4 loops at the beginning of the next two rows, a total of 67 loops will remain 59. Next, we knit according to the pattern until the length of the work is approximately 21 cm, finishing with a purl row. The shoulder bevel is performed as follows: close 15 loops at the beginning of the next. 2 rows, then the remaining 29.

2) Pockets. To prevent our coat from looking like an ordinary linen bag, we will decorate it with pockets. To do this, 16 stitches are cast on number four knitting needles, which are knitted face down for up to 34 rows. Then this part of the work is put aside and patiently waits in the wings.

3) Left shelf. In order to knit the left front, you need to perform 33 rows of 48 loops using knitting needles No. 4. After this, a pocket is placed. The next row is knitted according to the pattern: 3 "face", 16 loops before the edge close. Next we continue to process the pocket. We knit 29 knit stitches, perform the same loops along the pocket, finish with 3 knit stitches. After this, the work continues with the “garter stitch” pattern for the next 16 cm, the last row is performed with purl stitches.

Making the armhole: close 4 loops at the beginning of the “first” (after purl) row, and in the next row – 44 loops. You should continue straight until the length of the fabric reaches 28 cm. We do shoulder bevels, starting from closing 11 loops to the end of the row; then we knit 1 “front” row and set aside the rest of 29 loops.

4) Right shelf. 33 rows of 48 stitches using 4mm knitting needles. We place the pocket, knit 29 stitches face down, and close the last 16 stitches. The next row consists entirely of knit stitches: first 3, then working the pocket and knitting to the edge. We continue garter stitch up to 9 cm from the beginning, finishing with a purl row.

5) Button holes. Knit 3 stitches facewise, yarn over, combine 2 loops and knit stitches, knit 19, knit stitch again, yarn over and knit stitches to the edge. Next again, garter stitch approximately 16 cm, finish with the front row. To make an armhole, cast off the first 4 stitches in the first row, and 44 stitches in the next row, counting from the beginning. Then about 17 cm and purl row. Again, the diagram for the button “window” (it is performed in the same way as the first one). Next we knit 28 cm to the armhole. We perform a shoulder bevel by casting off 15 initial stitches and knitting the remaining (29) stitches. There is no need to cut the thread, just put the work aside.

6) Hood. But first you need to make a shoulder seam. To do this, take the right shelf, knit 29 stitches face down, cast on a new 34. We do the same with the left shelf. We got 102 loops, which we knit until we get 24 cm of fabric. Purl the last row, bind off the stitches.

7) Sleeve. Cast on 35 stitches using 4-number knitting needles and knit 17 rows of a “shawl” pattern. Knitting needles No. 4 are replaced with No. 3.5. Another 16 facial rows are made, and 4 mm knitting needles are taken again. Add 1 stitch on both sides of the next row, and then 8 each until the number of stitches is 53. Then 24 cm in garter stitch, purl row. The last row is marked with markers or pins and another 8 are knitted (for the cuff). The hinges are closed.

8) Assembly. The hood is folded in half and the top seam is sewn. Using the edge of a set of loops, we attach this part to the back, or rather, to its neck. The middle of the edge of the loop closure is aligned with the shoulder seam, the sleeves are sewn into the armholes. The end of the row after the closed loops is connected to the edge of the closed armhole loops. Then finishing work, namely: processing the side seam and sleeves, pocket burlap, attaching buttons.

Such a simple and warm thing will be equally good for both a 1-2-3 year old girl and a 4 year old girl. As you can see, children's knitted coats for girls do not require any special skills, except for attentiveness and patience!

Peculiarities

The closer the cold weather comes, the more interest we show in warm, cozy things. And the more functional the thing, the better. And knitted clothes are something that has been popular and in demand at all times. This, however, is not surprising, because, firstly, many people can knit. With a little patience, you can become a fashion designer yourself. And, secondly, from the moment the Italian fashion house presented knitted items on the catwalk at one of the shows, their popularity is only growing every year.

An important feature is that knitted sweaters, skirts and dresses have become an attribute not only of the cold season, but have also taken a strong place among the summer urban wardrobe of most fashionistas.

Currently, in the demi-season, knitted coats have become very popular. They are extremely comfortable to wear, soft, warm and have a completely different shape and texture. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a thing from adult fashion smoothly flowed into children's fashion. Many mothers can regularly create a unique knitted coat for their daughters, or they can buy coats in children's fashion stores.

How to choose

You need to select a knitted coat for a girl based on the child’s preferences and the functions for which it is purchased or knitted. If you need an item for warmth and everyday wear, then you should pay attention to warmer items with a higher wool content. They will hold heat and shape better. If you need something for cool summer evenings, then you can take lighter models.

For children, it is important that outerwear does not interfere with their play and running, so girls most often buy flared models that are not very long. You can safely take a knitted coat one or two sizes larger, since rolled up sleeves, as a rule, do not spoil the appearance of the item.

Popular styles and models

A knitted coat for a girl can be warm, voluminous, or maybe thin and light. Such things are knitted in different ways, crocheted, knitted, machine. There are a huge variety of ways to knit patterns today. This includes simple knitting and voluminous patterns and various braids and contours.

The styles of knitted coats for girls, as well as for adult women, are very diverse. There are elongated models, below the knee, and sometimes even to the floor. Although it will be difficult for a child to walk in such a thing, it is better that the maximum length of the coat is above the ankle. The classic length of outerwear for girls is knee length. Then it will be warm, and the coat will not interfere with movement.

Particular attention should be paid to models with raglan sleeves. Shoulders and sleeves knitted in a single fabric create the effect of softness and smoothness. The shoulder line is not expressed as clearly as in the classic version, which adds femininity to the entire look.

If the coat is designed for warm weather, for example, a summer evening, then a short trapezoidal model will look interesting. Skinny trousers or a flared skirt of the same length can complement the fashionista’s look. Also, for fairly warm weather, you can buy or knit a coat-jacket. Jackets came into children's fashion from adults, adding zest to a child's look. The jacket may have buttons, or it may have no fasteners at all. The most commonly used is a wide collar with a lapel. Coat-jacket styles can be fitted, straight, trapezoidal.

A coat with a high stand and a slight flaring of the skirt can add sophistication and sophistication to any girl. If the buttons are sewn only on the top part, then such a coat will look like a poncho.

For true fashionistas, you can choose a coat with a fur collar and cuffs. In this case, suede boots and gloves will look good.

In the demi-season, it is very practical to wear a coat with a hood. This is additional protection from cold and wind and from light drizzling rain. As a rule, models with a hood have a more classic shape and long sleeves.

Knitted coats can also be fastened in completely different ways. The classic option is buttons. They can be sewn in an even row, or they can be sewn diagonally. The number of buttons can vary from one to eight, creating a harmonious ensemble. Often, hooks are used for knitted items. Their advantage is that they are not visible and do not disrupt the overall image. Although, before using hooks, you should think about how suitable it is for the child and whether he can fasten them himself.

The simplest fastening option in children's outerwear is, of course, a zipper. If a zipper is used on a knitted children's coat, it is usually plastic. This is because the child will not be able to scratch himself and the threads of the coat will not cling so tightly. If a metal zipper was added to the item, it was done to enhance the rough style. Often such coats are accompanied by leather inserts in the area of ​​the sleeves, pockets or belt.

Current colors

When it comes to colors, the most popular colors in girls' clothing are undoubtedly pink and white. It’s hard to argue with the passion of most mothers for these shades, because it is in clothes of these colors that the girl looks very gentle and fresh.

But, nevertheless, modern fashion diversifies the usual children's palette with unexpected and very successful solutions. For example, in collections of children's outerwear you can often see all shades of yellow. Starting with a lemony, light tone and ending with a rich, almost orange. The yellow color itself is very positive and in things designed for cloudy autumn days, it is the best choice for lifting your spirits.

Shades of brown have also become very popular in the last season. This warm, rich color adds coziness and comfort to every item. In brown, heavier and warmer coat models that use large, voluminous knitting look good. Such things go perfectly with fur, whether it matches the coat or a contrasting color, for example, white.

Red is the brightest color in existence and the most extravagant. The red color in children's clothes, in addition to being beautiful, is also functional, since a child in red clothes is better visible. A red knitted coat is always impressive. Shades can vary from scarlet to burgundy. The warmer the item, the darker the color, preferably. The dark color is less easily soiled and looks more harmonious on bulky items.

Material

In order to knit a coat, you need yarn that must contain at least thirty percent wool. Merino wool or alpaca wool are often used. This coat will keep its original shape and will not fray or stretch. If the fabric is looser, the protruding parts will be pressed down.

In addition to wool, yarn may contain:

• polyamide;
• silk;
• mohair;
• cotton;

Separately, it is worth highlighting the grass yarn. This is a type of yarn with piles of different lengths, usually from half to several centimeters. Like any complex yarn, you need to knit it using satin stitch, since the pattern will still be covered with fibers.

What to wear with

A children's knitted coat is quite practical to wear and can be easily combined with other things. For example, with a medium-length coat, knitted dresses with a bright print - floral or abstract - look great. The color of the dress should be in harmony with the coat.

A casual and practical option is a coat with jeans. It is important here that the style of the coat is not very strict, but has a more free character. It can be any color. Patent leather boots can add completeness to the look.
