Crochet or knitting for your baby can be very rewarding whether you crochet for your own baby or for someone else. And babies usually get super cute in anything you do for them. However, there are some safety precautions to consider when crocheting or knitting for your new baby.

Let’s talk about crochet stuff

One thing to consider is the material. You want to make sure that your baby is not allergic, that it will not irritate your skin or that it will fall apart while the baby is using it.

Your safest bet is to keep the baby threads found in the baby section. At the same time, you still want to examine each new thread you work with, because sometimes the wires are called for various reasons.

Make sure everything is safe

When finishing your baby’s item, make sure everything is beautiful and safe. All buttons, appliques and embellishments can loosen if not placed properly, so be sure to use a strong material to hold everything. And also make sure to use a proper technique that holds the baby playing or pulling it repeatedly.

Another thing to check is the loose ends. The last thing you want is for the item to undo and strangle or suffocate your child. That would be a real tragedy.

Therefore, leave a tail longer than normal to have too much wire to weave in and out to ensure your work.

This applies to all baby items, from clothing to baby toys.

 

The correct size

A little too big an outfit for a baby is probably harmless. Just make sure it’s not too big, otherwise they might get in trouble.

But make sure you don’t cut your circulation by making crochet items that fit very tight. This goes for hats, sweaters, pants, shoes and anything else you decide to crochet for them.

Always check your meter to ensure it will come out of the desired size. And also, be aware of the material you use, as some materials will result in a much more comfortable fabric than others. Acrylics are usually elastic, while cotton is not so much.

Another thing to consider is income. You don’t want any holes big enough for the baby to get tangled up. A piece of lace, big enough for your fingers to pass, is usually safe, but you don’t want the whole hand to pass and get caught.
