Children's scarf

With the onset of cold weather, many parents think about how to update their baby’s wardrobe. After all, the vagaries of nature should not become an obstacle to walking. Especially in the winter there are so many interesting activities: you can play snowballs, go ice skating and sledding! In order for the child to spend enough time in the fresh air, he must be warm and comfortable in any weather.

In addition to winter clothes, the baby needs functional and vibrant accessories. Take for example a scarf. So that the baby does not catch a throat he is simply necessary. Sweatshirts and jackets with a high collar can hardly do this job so well.

If you approach the choice of a children's scarf creatively, it can not only protect your child from wind and frost, but also give him a good mood.

It is especially difficult to choose a model for a daughter. The range of scarves for girls today is simply huge. Little fashionistas always want to be beautiful, and winter is no exception! Couturiers are aware of this and do not forget to create children's models in accordance with current trends in the fashion industry.

Most often, you can see the following types of scarves:

• classical;
• clamp (snood);
• stole;
• arafatka.

The first option is the basic and most popular. Most often, it’s the classics that are bought for children. However, such an element can be found in the wardrobe of every person, regardless of gender and age.

Snud is good at replacing a hat. It is used as a hood or spread around the neck.

The stole is a wide scarf that will warm not only the neck, but also the shoulders of its owner. Some models even reach the lower back. Usually fine knitwear or other not too bulky materials are used. Since it is very wide, embroideries and large patterns fit easily on it.

Arafatka is a small scarf, it is tied like a scarf.

Previously, they were made exclusively from fabric, but now you can see knitted arafatki. It turns out very original products that can perfectly complement the image of both men and women.

What scarves are popular in the winter of 2016-2017? Fluffy scarves of pastel and bright colors, emphasizing the charm of young beauties, are in fashion.

For energetic babies who cannot sit still for a minute, more practical products are suitable. For example, from knitwear, he is still in trend.

Many girls like bright models with cartoon characters. They can be embroidered with multi-colored threads or knitted and attached to the fabric.

A fox scarf is another interesting option for lovers of original solutions. You can play with him like with a toy, which means that most likely he will like the crumb more than an ordinary scarf. Winter children's snuds with muzzles of animals are also popular today.

Older girls will certainly appreciate the elongated large-knit models. These seemingly massive accessories only emphasize the fragility of their owners. In general, knitwear still confidently holds a position in the charts. Designers do not get tired of coming up with new chips that breathe new life into a good old knitted scarf.

Thanks to this, even teenagers wear them. They can be of various modifications: collar-scarf, scarf-pipe, scarf-throat ... Similar models are produced from a variety of materials.

For those who do not want to tie a scarf around their neck every time, there are many alternatives. This is a shirt shirt, Velcro products, a scarf with buttons or with a loop.

Scarves for carrying a baby or slings serve more for the convenience of mothers, and not for warming babies. They are usually made of finer materials. Slings can be bought or made independently. With the help of the ring, a wide scarf becomes a real cradle for the baby and evenly distributes the load from its weight.

It is believed that 1.2 meters is the optimal length for a children's scarf. She will allow to wrap a scarf twice around a neck of the child. You can take it shorter. If you buy a product with a length of 70 cm, then this is only enough to tie a knot. For winter clothes this will not be enough. A scarf width of 10 cm would probably be the best. Moreover, if the yarn is easily stretched, then you can simulate its parameters, which is very convenient.

However, no matter how beautiful and interesting the scarf for children needs to be remembered, no less important criterion when choosing it is its material. Polyester products quickly lose their shape and often their appearance after several washes significantly deteriorates.

More often, viscose is taken for the production of scarves. Products from it are more pleasant to the touch and not so quickly lose their presentation.

And the best choice, although perhaps not cheap, would be natural materials - cashmere and wool. Fleece models are good in that they allow the skin to breathe and keep the temperature, despite the lightness and stretch. The material removes moisture, which means the child will not catch a cold.

It is very important that the material does not irritate the baby’s delicate skin. This is especially true when it comes to hand-knitted scarves. Unfortunately, not all yarn marked “baby” on the shelves is suitable for creating children's things. It can be prickly and even cause redness. Soft coat such as alpaca is preferred. Mohair is not the best option, as his long pile often ends up in the baby’s mouth.

Knitted patterns can decorate various braids, bumps and other unusual relief decorations.A knit such as an English elastic band, which consists of alternating front and back loops, is suitable for a scarf.

There are other gum options:

• twisted (Bulgarian);
• igzag;
• lock;
• Polish
• with the loop removed;
• Semi-English
• Norwegian

To make the scarf more original, you can make any openwork pattern, but such delights are more appropriate when knitting women's summer scarves or scarves. Tight knits with rhombs, checkers or waves, perhaps, will suit more. There are a lot of knitting options, the main thing is to show imagination.

When choosing jewelry, color is taken into account. Is the product monophonic or combines several shades? No less important is the texture of the model. If the knitting is large, with bundles or other ornaments, then crocheted flowers will obviously be too much. In this case, it is better to add fluffy fringe, for example. The child will like that his favorite scarf has changed, and the product itself will look harmonious.

Miniature flowers or beads will look better on a thin canvas, preferably a pastel shade. You can pin a brooch or badge to it, but this is not the best option for a children's accessory, since the needles do not always hold securely in the clasp.

As an option, scarves are decorated with embroidery or even small pompons. Sometimes you can find a variety of models with toys. The main thing is that such jewelry is securely attached, otherwise after the first wash, only a glue stain or a loose thread will remain from them. The same applies to rhinestones. Cheap products with artificial pebbles and sparkles usually do not stand the test of water.

Here, perhaps, there can be no strict recommendations. One thing is for sure: children prefer vibrant colors. Threads of gray, blue, white or other calm colors are usually chosen to work on a scarf for a boy.

But when choosing a color scheme for girls, the palette of shades is simply huge and can be limited only by the colors of her hat and other things.

If we talk about ornaments, then animal prints will be very helpful. Also, children like their favorite cartoons on things, and a scarf will not be an exception.

Nevertheless, the striped print is perhaps the most popular. Narrow multi-colored stripes look good on children's scarves, but you can expand them to wide inserts and connect parts of the product with colored threads. Gradient transitions look pretty elegant. This effect is easy to achieve if you buy special threads.

Many well-known brands create clothes and accessories for children. Among them are Gaudi, Denny Rose, Finn Flare and others.

Hallo Kitty products are popular with girls.

Among the various brands that are in demand, Reima can be noted. These items have earned the trust of customers for their practicality and high quality. Reima products are certified and meet all requirements and standards, are completely safe for the child.

So, summarizing the above, we say the following. The scarf should be:

• practical;
• soft for the skin;
• pleasant colors for the baby;
• blend in with the rest of the clothes

Also look carefully at how the child looks in this product. Some scarves are so large that they cover the baby's face. Perhaps such equipment will be redundant. Will he not interfere with the baby running and leaning, will the child be comfortable turning his neck and looking around? If the model does not have these shortcomings, then the scarf is chosen correctly and you, like your baby, will be happy with the purchase.
