The birth of a child is a big holiday for the whole family. I want this day to remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
Photos taken upon leaving the maternity hospital always capture a wonderful event with sweet details. Here and happy parents, and a huge bouquet of flowers, and grandparents, and doctors, and closest friends. The baby is so tiny that he is shown in the picture only as a three-dimensional bundle. A beautiful blanket, knitted by yourself and tied with a beautiful ribbon - it’s so traditional, but at the same time very touching.
Despite the fact that during pregnancy a young woman expecting her first child usually has a lot of free time, especially in the last months, for superstitious reasons she should not engage in sewing or knitting. This sign can be treated differently. Some people laugh at old prejudices, while others are sure that in this case It’s better to play it safe than to make a mistake that you may later regret. The fact is that it is believed that if during pregnancy you engage in work related to threads, the child runs the risk of becoming entangled in the umbilical cord.
There are a lot of signs associated with the birth of a new person. In particular, this: before the baby is born, parents should not purchase any things for him. Where does the dowry for the baby come from? After all, from the very first days of his life he needs a lot of all kinds of things. The answer is simple - parents do not gain anything, but their own mothers and fathers can collect the dowry secretly from them. This approach is very reasonable, as it unites relatives who are not very well known around the young family. The blanket for discharge from the maternity hospital is usually knitted by one of the grandmothers. As a rule, women at this age already know how to knit, so making something beautiful is not difficult for them.
Knitting a beautiful blanket to wrap a newborn in is not at all difficult. You just need to decide on a few questions. Firstly, what time of year the baby is expected to appear. Secondly, what gender is he? And thirdly, which pattern will be most suitable.
It is better to knit a blanket for discharge in the summer from cotton, viscose or silk yarn. The baby will not be hot, and the face, covered with a light cover, will not be exposed to the rays of the bright sun and will be protected from both dust and the evil eye.
If the birth is expected in winter, then a warm woolen blanket will come in handy. In yarn stores you can find excellent wool threads designed specifically for children. They are particularly lightweight. It is better not to take fluffy ones, such as mohair or angora, as they are fluffy and the lint can cause anxiety to the baby. It is better to make a knitted blanket for discharge from soft cashmere.
The color can be any. Tender ones are especially suitable for this occasion. pastel shades. The blanket for a girl is pink, and for a boy it is blue. White bedspreads with a contrasting ribbon threaded along the edge look very nice.
If for some reason the gender of the child is unknown, then white will be the best option.
A crocheted blanket for discharge for newborns (patterns are presented in this article) is preferable to knitting. The fact is that such a blanket can be easily tied if the need arises. There is another plus - such a blanket is practically not deformed, that is, its edges do not curl, as happens with straight fabrics made on knitting needles.
A fairly thick winter woolen blanket can be knitted with a simple net, and a silk ribbon threaded around the perimeter. It is important that the pattern is without bumps or other thickenings. They will interfere with the baby, creating discomfort when he lies in a stroller or crib. You can get creative with the patterns if you crochet a summer blanket for newborns’ discharge. Patterns for thin canvases are usually quite complex. In addition to the main pattern used for the central part, you need to choose a pattern for the border. This work is for an experienced knitter, as it requires the ability to calculate and adjust repeats.
Crochet blanket for discharge for newborns, diagrams and photos of summer and winter version which are presented in the article, requires calculation relative to the size of the canvas. As a rule, it is standard - 1 m x 1.2 m. It is inconvenient to wrap a child in a blanket that is too large or too small.
The blanket can be knitted with fancy openwork, or it can be knitted with a simple fillet with a laconic pattern in the form of flowers, hearts or stripes.
Thin threads require thin hook. This blanket takes a long time to knit. For thick wool you should use a thicker hook. A skilled knitter will need no more than two weeks to crochet a woolen blanket for newborns for discharge (patterns of a simple fillet of double crochets and two or three chain loops between them are visible in the photo below).
It is better to knit with loose loops - this will make the item more flexible.
Before starting work on the main fabric, you should knit a small sample. It must be measured in length and width, and the numbers written down. After this, the sample must be washed in the same way as you are going to subsequently wash the entire blanket.
The dried and ironed sample must be measured again and, by comparing the initial and final dimensions, the loops must be calculated.
The most common, one might say, universal blanket is made from square motifs. They are knitted in single colors or multi-colored. The connection occurs during the knitting process or after all the elements are ready. Then they can be connected with the same yarn using a hook or sewn with a needle with threads of a matching color. Blankets knitted from threads of two or three colors that match each other are very beautiful. You should not tie voluminous flowers into the squares of the blanket on which the child will lie. Although it looks very beautiful, the inconvenience caused by the thickening from the flowers to the fragile bone skeleton is too great.
Another version of a universal blanket is a fabric knitted from the middle. The sides of such a canvas are the same length. The knitting process is extremely simple - stitches are added at the corners of each next row. For this reason, the number of columns and air loops becomes larger and larger with distance from the middle. This option is characterized by the fact that the corners of the canvas are somewhat elongated - not rectangular, but sharp, and the straight parts, accordingly, are slightly compressed. For a small blanket made of thick threads, this feature is quite acceptable. With this method of knitting, the choice of patterns is very limited, but you can play with color. In addition, it is somewhat easier to tie a square fabric with an openwork border than a rectangular one. The border can only be tied on two opposite sides, then the blanket will take on a standard size.
Machine washable on the “Wool” cycle or by hand. The spin is only very delicate. Cotton ones can be safely machine washed, and white ones can even be bleached.
Experienced knitters are able to create real masterpieces using a hook and yarn, but even for beginners it will not be difficult to crochet a plush blanket. Despite the fact that this product is quite large in size, the process of its manufacture is very simple and interesting. Armed with diagrams and everything necessary materials, you can safely start knitting, as a result of which you will be able to create your own masterpiece.

A baby blanket can be a blanket in a crib or in a stroller for a walk; it can be taken to discharge or to the clinic. When the baby grows up, such a thing quickly turns into a play mat. If you are going to the store to buy such a product, then do not rush, because detailed master classes Below will help you create a blanket for a newborn with your own hands.
Even a novice craftswoman can easily crochet a blanket for a newborn. This product is simply a square. It does not require complex patterns or calculations, and decorations can be made in the form of flowers, hearts, bows or other elements. It is not necessary to adhere to the specified dimensions and strictly square shape. The optimal length ranges from 80 to 120 cm, but its specific value depends on your preferences. Below you will find specific examples of small and large blankets.
The first master class examines the simplest blankets for newborns for discharge, which can also be knitted. The first option is made from threads of only one color, while the second has a striped pattern. You can choose the shade depending on the gender of the child. For a boy, it is better to take white and blue, and for a girl, replace the latter with pink. Both blankets have dimensions of 80x100 cm, so you will need about 350-500 g of yarn. To add density, you can use a double thread.
To calculate the initial number of loops, knit a sample with approximate dimensions of 12 by 12 cm. You need to leave it to lie down, and then use a ruler to measure the number of air loops (AC) per 1 cm. All that remains is to divide one of the dimensions of the blanket by the calculated value. This will be the initial number of VPs. The description of the rows for knitting a baby blanket is as follows:
Crochet blankets for newborns with patterns of various motifs, for example, “granny squares,” become more interesting. This model is good because it is easier for a beginning craftswoman to handle it, because it is always easier to create several small parts and connect them than to knit a large fabric. In addition, you don’t need to buy a lot of yarn of different colors - leftovers from past projects will also work, which will be enough for 1 square. Additionally, you can even knit a pillowcase this way.
The product itself will have dimensions of 1.1x1.3 m. It will require 1800 g of yarn of different colors, but of the same structure and thickness. Hooks are required numbered 3,5 and 4. In addition, you will need scissors and a needle. For beginners, it is better to use simpler motifs, as shown in the diagram. The work steps look like this:
This blanket for a newborn is crocheted in the following dimensions - 125 by 125 cm. It will require about 100 squares, i.e., the side of each is 12.5 cm. The yarn needed is multi-colored, but its total quantity should be about 1500 g. It is better to take a hook number 4, although different thicknesses of thread may require a thinner or thicker one. The sequence of work is as follows:
This blanket for a newborn requires more diligence and skill from mothers or grandmothers. But the product turns out to be very beautiful, which is what is required for such a celebration as the baby’s discharge from the hospital. It can also be used for baptism of a baby. The dimensions of the finished baby blanket are 92 by 114 cm. The following materials and tools will be required:
You can take any color, but white or pink or blue will look good depending on the gender of the child. To begin, cast on a chain of 196 VPs and knit according to pattern 1. You need to make 21 repeats in width, and 31 in length. The description of the rows of this pattern is as follows:
After creating such a border, you still need to tie it with fans, which echo the main motif of the product. The result should be 6 such elements in width and 7 in length. Make an openwork binding according to scheme 2, using the symbols on it. Next, thread the ribbon through the holes in the border, tying it with a bow in one of the corners or even two.
Newborn blanket This is not just a decoration for a crib or stroller, but a necessary item in a baby’s dowry.

Nowadays, stores sell a lot of different interesting yarns, so recently parents and needlewomen prefer to buy acrylic plush yarn for children's products. The bedspreads are soft and gentle, but not very warm. Yarns like Alize baby, Himalaya Dolphin Baby are fluffy and hypoallergenic. You can knit from it the most simple patterns, the growth of the canvas occurs very quickly. The cost of such blankets is not very high.
Someone knits children's blankets from acrylic yarn the old fashioned way. And some people like half-wool or half-cotton. Of course, for the winter, if it is known that your baby does not have allergies, and the yarn you have chosen does not prick, it is better to buy woolen threads. For summer or spring, a mixture of cotton and acrylic is suitable.

Description of crocheting a blanket:
The size of the finished blanket along with the openwork binding is 92 cm by 114 cm.
We cast on a chain of 196 loops and knit exactly according to the pattern to the desired length. In my case, the width of the blanket to the binding is 71 cm. - 21 reports.
1st row: air loops;
2nd row: alternate 5 and 4 air loops;
3rd row: *9 double crochets, single crochet*
4th row: * double crochet, chain stitch *
Row 5: *single crochet, 3 chain stitches*
Next, we continue knitting from the first row.
I ended up with 31 reports in length. After the main fabric is ready, select the binding. I really liked the binding that I used, it resembles large fans, and the main fabric resembles small fans. That's why it worked out good combination and harmony in the pattern.
We tie all the edges of the blanket with single crochet stitches, counting the stitches so that there are the same number of stitches on parallel sides. Next, we knit 2 rows with double crochets, in the corners for even expansion we knit 5 double crochets in one loop. Next, we knit a row under the ribbon as follows: *3 single crochets, 3 chain loops, while skipping 3 base loops*, repeat the entire row. in the corners we knit like this: 3 double crochets, 3 chain stitches, 3 double crochets in one base loop.
We knit another row with a double crochet and proceed to the actual piping according to the pattern.
I got 6 fans in width, 7 in height, and 4 fans in the corners.
The blanket turned out to be very soft and tender. And it knits up quite quickly.
You can decorate with a ribbon of any color, I just have bows in 4 corners, since this blanket is intended for a newborn boy.
