Children's scarf-snood (collar)

How to dress a baby in winter so that he goes for a walk in a good mood and is not freezing on the street? Bright and original scarfs-collars or snuds will be an excellent choice. Many are accustomed to associate this accessory exclusively with a women's wardrobe, and in vain.

Such a thing will reliably protect the child in bad weather from snow and wind. And if you choose a model decorated with a cheerful animal face, then your baby will wear it every time with pleasure, and it will be easier to come up with outdoor games.

It is also called a round scarf, a collar scarf and a pipe scarf. It performs the function of two wardrobe parts at once: a scarf and a hat.

In recent years, snood has become super popular. It can be seen in the collections of many fashion designers. There are models for girls, for exquisite ladies, for children, and even for the stronger sex.

Ordinary scarves are already tired of everything, and snood can be worn in different ways. A distinctive feature of this accessory is its unusualness.

Everyone can make their image more original due to the snud, give it a slight rebellious negligence or sophisticated sophistication. The main thing is to show imagination and skillfully pick it up for the rest of the details of your outerwear.

If we talk about children's wardrobe, then snud has a number of advantages:

• Firstly, he cannot unleash what happens so often in children during the winter games.
• Secondly, many models can be worn on both sides and on both edges, which means that it will not be difficult for the crumb to put it on their own, without spending a lot of time on it.
• Thirdly, with it your little mod can stand out from the crowd. Indeed, most children wear ordinary scarves and hats, which differ mainly in color only.
• And, finally, the most important plus of the snud in its versatility. Since it warms both the neck and the head, you can always carry it with you as a fallback. He will help out if the baby loses a scarf or hat while playing on the street, or if the weather worsens, and he needs to additionally warm up.

Snoods suggest a wide variety of patterns. Wide and narrow, short and long, with or without decor elements.

As a rule, the materials for these parts of the wardrobe are voluminous, which allows you to experiment with them to your liking and create various forms.

Snood made of thick yarn can have a fastener, and one button will be enough, he will hold the position. Such a scarf-collar, complemented by a lapel, looks spectacular. The collar can be worn both under outer clothing and on top of it.

Kids will be very pleased with the model, with the help of which they can transform into animals. This piece of clothing can be knitted independently.

For mom, this will be a great opportunity to realize her creative potential, and the baby will get 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 chanterelle out of your crumbs, and a gray wolf cub.

At the peak of fashion today, knitted snoods. This fabric is made using the technique of coarse knitting. Since these scarves adhere to the delicate skin of the face and neck, yarn should not be pricked.

With all the advantages of pure natural wool, it will not work. It will be preferable to use threads made of wool with acrylic. Alpaca wool is the most tender, but expensive. Considering that you don’t need a lot of threads on a children's scarf, you can also purchase it.

Knitwear that will go down in waves or beautiful folds is also popular. The most “winter” and expensive options are made of fur. No less warm, and at the same time more affordable in price - fleece scarves. Sports models are quite popular among boys, as they perfectly complement the ammunition for winter sports.

Snood can be worn by children of any age, with the exception of newborns. The main thing is that he fit snugly and does not fall off when the baby is walking on the street.

If we talk about the most popular snoods that are wound minimally doubled, the recommended sizes will be as follows:

• children 4-5 years old can purchase or knit a snood 15 cm wide and 99 cm long;
• children 6-8 years old will fit a width of 20 and a length of 120 centimeters;
• children 9-12 years old can be offered models with a width of 20 and a length of 127 centimeters;
• children from 13 years old fit width 22 and length 141 centimeters.

A young child can also be worn, but finding a model for him in the store will not be easy. You can tie the collar on your own, choosing the dimensions individually.

With the help of the clamp, you can create new images every time, for this it is worn in different ways. Here are the most popular ones:

• like a scarf;
• like a hat;
• like a hood;
• like a hat and a scarf.

A short collar is simply put on the neck and straightened. As a rule, it has a volumetric texture, which allows it to better keep heat. 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 your head. So snood will cover his ears like a hat.

Wide and short models are put on like a hood. They are especially suitable for girls in combination with a fitted down jacket or coat.

Now let's talk about the most popular way to wear a scarf-clamp. We take a long snood, throw it on two hands and twist it to make the “eight”. We throw one circle on the neck, and the second on the head, while the intersection of the G8 is in front. However, it may be behind, but then the neck will not be so reliably closed from the cold.

When there is no hood, the snood, worn in one or two turns, can simply be spread along the length of the neck.If your child’s jacket has a hood, this will not prevent him from wearing snood. Put the product on the neck and pull the hood up or put the hood on your head so that the scarf fits under it, and then lower the hood back onto your shoulders.

The original children's snood-clamp is better to knit from thick threads. Creating such a fashionable little thing is easy. At the same time, you will receive a unique accessory that will be only for your child in a single copy.

Even for those who have never picked up knitting needles and yarn, this is not a big deal. There are lots of schemes for beginners, which allow you to create a scarf step by step.

On the packaging of threads is usually written the desired thickness of the knitting needles for knitting with specific yarn. The easiest way is to create an unusual model using the simplest knitting, for example, a scarf (all the loops are front), but using threads of different colors. This will be quite enough for a simple model with buttons or without a fastener.

Also in stores there is a huge selection of accessories for every taste, which will allow you to decorate your creation with sequins, decorative stones, stripes or even fringe.

Different types of elastic bands are suitable for such a scarf. If you are already familiar with many knitting techniques, then you can try various patterns, such as bundles, berries, etc. They will very effectively decorate your baby’s voluminous snood.

Also, you can sew a snood pipe from knitwear for your child. In this case, its width is calculated based on the circumference of the head minus 1-2 centimeters. Since the knitwear stretches well, it will not be difficult for a child to wear such a product. At the same time, the fabric will fit very tightly to the neck of your child and it will be warm even in bad weather.

The recommended height of the product is 25-30 centimeters, while the front part can be more than the main length by 5 centimeters. First, we sew together two layers of material, twist it, and then connect the two edges of the resulting product with a seam.

1. Remember that knitwear must be handled carefully so as not to spoil it. This is especially true for handmade wool snoods. They need to be washed in water not hotter than 30-40 degrees. As you know, at too high temperatures, things from wool sit down.
2. It is worth skipping the soaking step, and it is better to dry the product on the table, spreading it on a towel.
3. It is impossible to rub and squeeze a thing out of wool too intensively, otherwise it will quickly lose its neat appearance and shape.
4. Special powders for wool more gently affect it, so it is better to give preference to them.

We hope that our tips will help you choose the most suitable snood for the baby and he will be happy to walk in any weather.
