How to wear a baby in winter so that he goes for a walk in a good mood and does not freeze on the street? An excellent choice would be bright and original scarves, clamps or snoody. Many are accustomed to associate this accessory exclusively with the female wardrobe, and it is completely in vain.
Such a thing will reliably protect a child in bad weather from snow and wind. And if you choose a model decorated with a cheerful animal muzzle, then your little one will wear it with pleasure every time, and it will be easier to come up with games on the street.
What is a snud?
It is also called the round scarf, scarf-yoke and scarf-tube. It performs the function of two wardrobe details at once: a scarf and a cap.
In recent years, LIC has become super popular. It can be seen in the collections of many fashion designers. There are models for girls, for elegant ladies, for children, and even for the representatives of the stronger sex.
Ordinary scarves are pretty much fed up with everything, and Lens can be worn in different ways. A distinctive feature of this accessory is its unusualness.
Everyone can make their image more original at the expense of sleep, give it a slight rebellious carelessness or refined sophistication. The main thing to show imagination and skillfully pick it up under the other details of their outerwear.
Benefits
If we talk about children's wardrobe, then LIC has several advantages:
- Firstly, it cannot be untied, which is so often the case for children during the winter games.
- Secondly, many models can be worn on both sides and on both edges, which means it will be easy for the crumbs to put it on their own without spending much time on it.
- Thirdly, with it your little mod can stand out from the crowd. After all, most children wear ordinary scarves and hats, which differ mainly only in color.
- And, finally, the most important advantage of Snud is its universality. Since it warms both the neck and the head, it can always be carried around with you as a backup. He will help out if the baby loses a scarf or hat while playing outside, or if the weather worsens, and he needs to warm up additionally.
Models
Snudy suggest a large variety of models. Wide and narrow, short and long, with and without decorative elements.
As a rule, materials for these parts of the wardrobe are voluminous, which allows you to experiment with them to your liking and create different forms.
A thick yarn snud can have a clasp, with one button being enough, and it will hold the position like that. Such a scarf-collar, complemented by a lapel, looks impressive. The collar can be worn both under the outer garment and on top of it.
Very pleased with the kids model, with which they can be reincarnated in animals. This item of clothing can be linked independently.
For mommy, this will be a great opportunity to realize his creative potential, and the baby will receive an unusual winter thing in which he wants to walk again and again in the yard in any weather. For example, a snood-hood similar to a hood made of red yarn with ears will make a fox out of your crumbs, and a gray wolf cub.
Materials
At the height of fashion today knitted tansy. This canvas, made in the technique of large binding. Since these scarves fit the delicate skin of the face and neck, the yarn should not be pricked.
With all the advantages of natural wool in its pure form, it will not work. It would be preferable to use threads of wool with acrylic. Alpaca wool is the most delicate, but expensive. Given that the children's scarf thread does not need much, you can buy it.
Knitwear is also popular, as it will go in waves or beautiful folds. The most "winter" and expensive options are made of fur. No less warm, and at the same time more affordable for the price - fleece scarves. Sports models are quite popular among boys, as they perfectly complement the ammunition for winter sports.
Dimensions
Snud can be worn by children of any age, with the exception of newborns. The main thing is that it fits snugly and does not fall when the baby is walking on the street.
If we talk about the most popular shoes, which are twisted at least twice, the recommended sizes will be as follows:
- 4-5 years old children can be purchased or knit a snood 15 cm wide and 99 cm long;
- children 6-8 years old fit a width of 20 and a length of 120 centimeters;
- children 9-12 years old can offer models with a width of 20 and a length of 127 centimeters;
- children from 13 years old fit a width of 22 and a length of 141 centimeters.
A younger child can also wear a sleep, but finding a model for him in the store will not be easy. You can knit the collar yourself, choosing the size individually.
How to wear?
With the help of the collar, you can create new images every time, for this purpose it is put on in different ways. Here are the most popular ones:
- like a scarf;
- like a hat;
- like a hood;
- like a hat and scarf.
A short yoke just put on the neck and straighten. As a rule, it has a volumetric texture, which allows it to better keep warm. Such round scarves look more original than ordinary ones.
If the scarf-collar is not too wide and not long, then it can be folded in half and put on the head. So the dream will cover the ears like a hat.
Like a hood, they put on rather wide and short models. They are especially suitable for girls in combination with a fitted down-padded coat or a coat.
Now we will tell about the most popular way of wearing a scarf-collar. We take a long snud, throw it over two hands and twist it to make a "eight". We throw one circle on the neck, and the second on the head, while the intersection of the G-8 is in front. However, it may be in the back, but then the neck will not be so securely closed from the cold.
When there is no hood, the snood, worn in one or two turns, can be simply straightened along the length of the neck. If your child’s jacket has a hood, it will not prevent him from wearing a snood. Put the product on your neck and pull the hood up or put the hood on your head so that the scarf is placed under it, and then lower the hood back onto your shoulders.
DIY Scarf
The original children's snood is better to knit from thick threads. Create such a fashionable thing is easy. At the same time, you will receive a unique accessory that only your child will have in a single copy.
Even for those who never took knitting needles and yarn in their hands, it will not be difficult. There are lots of schemes for beginners who allow you to create a scarf step by step.
On the packaging of the thread is usually written the desired thickness of the needles for knitting with specific yarn. It is easiest to create an unusual model using the simplest binding, for example, a garter (all the loops are facial), but using threads of different colors. This will be quite enough for a simple model with buttons or without fastener.
Also in the shops there is a huge selection of accessories for every taste, which will allow you to decorate your creation with sparkles, decorative stones, stripes or even fringe.
Not bad for this scarf are different types of rubber bands. If you are already familiar with many knitting techniques, you can try various patterns, such as plaits, berries, etc. They will be very effective for decorating your child's volume fun.
You can also sew knitwear for your child on your own. In this case, its width is calculated based on the girth of the head minus 1-2 centimeters. Since knitwear is well stretched, it will not be difficult for a child to wear such a product. In this case, the fabric will be very tight to the neck of your child and it will be warm even in the worst weather.
The recommended height of the product is 25-30 centimeters, while the front can be 5 centimeters longer than the main length. First, we sew together two layers of material, turn out, and then connect the two edges of the resulting product with a seam.
Knitted care
- Remember that knitted products must be handled with care so as not to spoil it. This is especially true for handmade wool snoods. They need to be washed in water is not hotter than 30-40 degrees. As you know, at too high temperatures, things from wool sit down.
- You should skip the soaking stage, and it is better to dry the product on the table, spreading it on a towel.
- You can not rub too hard and squeeze a thing out of wool, otherwise it will quickly lose its neat appearance and shape.
- Special powders for wool more gently affect it, so preference is given to them better.
We hope that our advice will help you to choose the most suitable child for the child and he will be happy to walk in any weather.
