Discharge kit
Many needlewomen are afraid of large descriptions with diagrams, but knitting for newborns is, as a rule, very simple .
These are simple round or rectangular yokes without additional calculations other than measuring the neckline. The caps are knitted according to the pipe principle, but you can also find continuous knitting patterns that also do not require heights of skill from the knitter. And the variety of booties makes your eyes wide open: classic boots, fishnet shoes, cute ballet flats, open sandals, high boots and all sorts of fancy options, including boots for a little gnome.
Knitted sets for discharge are more suitable for the summer season, and the baby’s skin is still very delicate for “biting” fine wool. It is better to use acrylic yarn, for example the Alize brand.
To work you will need:
- The main yarn is white, approximately 600 g.
- An additional color, for example blue, from the same company for tying - about 100 g.
- Hooks No. 2.5 and 3.5.
In addition, you should stock up on a good mood, because no matter how well a thing is knitted, if it does not have the soul of a master, it will not bring joy.
Blanket “Sea ripples”
Discharge sets come in a variety of varieties - from those consisting of one blanket to construction sets with 8 items. Consider the option of a crocheted set for a newborn : a blanket, a cap and booties.

For the presented beige sweater with blue stripes , you will need:
- Threads of corresponding tones: 45 grams of light beige yarn, 30 grams of light blue and blue tones.
- Matching buttons.
- Hook (choose its size according to the thickness of the threads).
Process description:
Start from the back:
With the main yarn (beige color), cast on 51 VP, start knitting a sweater according to the pattern:
Pattern diagram
When you knit about 15 centimeters, make small rollouts for the armhole. And having reached twenty-six centimeters in height, round off the knitting of the back.
The right part of the front is also knitted with threads of the main color; for this, cast on 23VP. And, again, knit the stitches according to the pattern given above. At a height of fifteen centimeters, reduce the loops for the armhole, when you reach 22 centimeters, close the stitches in order to decorate the neck of the blouse, and when you reach a height of 26 centimeters, finish knitting the front.
The left part of the front is knitted in the same way as the right - symmetrically.
To knit sleeves you will need threads of different colors. It is enough to dial 31VP, and then knit stitches according to the second pattern, which is presented above. At the same time, do not forget to alternate threads of different colors. The sleeves will widen closer to the shoulders, so you need to make increments in every sixth row five times, one stitch at a time, to make 41 stitches. When you knit 18 centimeters, decrease on both sides of the row four times, one stitch at a time, until thirty-three loops are obtained. At a height of 21 centimeters, finish the knitting process.
The pocket is easy to knit. It is made from beige threads from eleven V.P. Use the second pattern for knitting. After knitting six centimeters, finish knitting.
Crochet blouse
Connect the finished parts of the sweater with a crochet hook, and tie the front and edges of the product with colored threads, as in the photo above. Sew buttons, a pocket, knit buttonholes.
Yarn selection
It's no secret that many materials cause allergic rashes on the delicate, sensitive skin of a child, not accustomed to harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, the selection of yarn must be taken very seriously.
Doctors recommend giving preference to natural materials. For example, cotton yarn. It provides heat exchange. Also, its distinctive feature is high wear resistance.
An even more gentle option for babies is yarn with the addition of acrylic. This provides additional softness.
For clothing in the cold season, it is worth taking a closer look at non-prickly wool yarn. Firstly, this material retains heat perfectly. Secondly, it does not require frequent washing.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that yarn with sequins, lurex and long pile should never be used for knitting children's clothing for safety reasons.
Once the knitting threads have been selected, you can proceed directly to the process of creating the product.
Crochet for newborns - DIY cap
Bonnets for babies are an indispensable item for the wardrobe. Knitting a product is simple; an experienced craftswoman can create a headdress in one day. First you need to tie the ring. Then three V.P. are tied. with 11СН. The 1st, 3rd loops are connected for the first row of the cap.
Baby cap
IMPORTANT : All rows start with 3VP, then knit S.S. in the 3rd stitch of the previous row. Thanks to this, new rows are longer than the previous ones, and a hemispherical shape of the cap is formed. The cap should not squeeze the baby’s head; for this, twelve increments are made in a row and distributed evenly in a circle.
Sometimes in patterns the knitting is completed earlier, but externally the product is not yet ready. Therefore, you will have to independently complete what you started and do everything using the technology described here.
Process diagram:
- Cast on 3VP, then knit 11DC.
- At the end of the row, knit the last stitch with the 3rd stitch of the previous row.
- Knit a new row using the same pattern. And do this until you get the required size for the bottom of the headdress.
When knitting, you need to consider the size of your newborn's head. The back should match the measurements. If you do not take into account the measurements, the hat will not fit the child. The depth of the cap continues to be knitted according to a slightly different pattern. Start each row with 3VP. and 1 column, which will serve as a connecting element for the previous row. When the cap is finally knitted, make ties and add a beautiful openwork pattern to your headdress to suit your taste. See examples below:

Assembly and finishing of the product
We fold the finished shelf and back face to face and sew the shoulder seams. Then we sew on the sleeves. And only then we sew the sweater on the sides. The last step will be the seams on the sleeves.
Now you can move on to finishing. For this we will use single crochet stitches. We tie the bottom of the sweater, neck and cuffs in a circle with 3 rows of single crochets. In the photo, the binding is made in blue, but you can use any color you like. A knitted crown is used as an applique on the chest. If you are not yet very good at knitting, then you can use ready-made iron-on adhesives. This decor looks very impressive.

The product should be knitted with a dc and start the process by creating the back. To do this, dial 44VP, raise it by twenty-one rows. Then make 91VP, close on the other side, which is connected at the very beginning of the set of columns.
Pattern diagram for overalls for a baby
Knit six rows with an elastic band: 2Dc, 1Dc (with knit stitches). After the dc, knit twenty rows.
When you reach the middle, knit the gusset so that you get it right, do this:
- In the first row : knit 26dc, in one column make 2dc, after 66dc, again 2dc from one loop, 40dc to the very end of the row.
- In the second row : 27DC, 2DC in one loop, repeat again (2DC in 1P), 67DC, 2DC from 1P, 2DC from 1P, 40DC.
- In the third row : 28Dc, 2Dc in 1P, 2Dc in 1P, 69Dc, 2Dc in 1P, 2Dc in 1P, 41Dc.
- In the fourth row : 29DC, 2DC in 1P, 2DC in 1P, 71DC, 2DC in 1P, 2DC in 1P, 42DC.
Knit the left leg of the overalls. To do this, knit 31Dc, 4VP, 44Dc. V.P. start from the gusset side. Then knit thirty rows in a circle. In the next row, decrease 39 stitches. Knit five rows with an elastic pattern:
- 1СН, 1СН Persons.P.
Knit the second leg in the same way as the first.
Crochet overalls
All that remains is to select thirty-nine loops in the middle of the front of the overalls and knit them with a DC - thirteen rows. And in the 14th, make holes for buttons. Then knit two rows of dc, and make hangers on the back of the product (raise 12 dc by 14 rows). As you can see, the product can be knitted in a single color or combined in different colors. Use flowers or other accessories to decorate things.
Blouse for a princess
The next option is for little princesses. This crochet blouse for a newborn girl will be very soft, delicate and elegant. Whatever color you make it in, it will look great.
This effect is achieved due to the selected pattern. And it is not at all necessary to use thin threads for knitting. Even made from fairly thick yarn, this crocheted blouse for a newborn (the knitting pattern is shown below) looks gentle and elegant. Only one button is used as a fastener.
The knitting pattern is quite simple. The sleeve in this model is made from top to bottom. For it we knit a chain of 10 chain stitches and continue knitting with double crochets. Having knitted half the sleeve, we proceed to the openwork pattern. To do this, in the first row of the openwork we knit three double crochets, then a ring of 3 chain stitches, then again three double crochets. In the second row, we knit 3 double crochets into a ring of chain stitches. In each subsequent one, we increase the number of double crochets by 1. And in the intervals between the columns we make air loops. This way the sleeve will take the desired shape. Having knitted the desired length, we finish knitting with single crochets. The back and front repeat the sleeve pattern. The lower curly edge is obtained by using an openwork pattern and piping using the picot technique. To perform this finishing, you need to knit a chain of 5 chain stitches in the last row through an equal number of single crochets and secure it to the same stitch.
