Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations with fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to be given to infants? How can you lower the temperature in older children? What medications are the safest?
Warmer for a mug “Snowman”, crocheted.
An ordinary mug can be decorated with a knitted warmer. Such decoration will even bring benefits. A knitted heating pad will warm your hands holding a hot mug and also protect your hands from overheating.
To make a heating pad you will need the following materials:
1. Dark blue threads (base of the heating pad).
2.White threads (edging and decoration).
3.Yellow threads (Snowman’s nose).
4. Two-color threads (forelock and ties).
5.Sewing threads in white and black.
6.Hooks 1 and 2.5 mm thick.
7. Scissors.
The process of making a warmer for a mug.
1.First of all, you need to take measurements of the mug. I propose to knit a heating pad measuring 25.5 cm * 9 cm. Using a 2.5 cm crochet hook, you need to pick up a chain. It will consist of air loops (AP) 25.5 cm long.
2. We start with a set of double crochets (DC) along the entire length of the chain.
3. We knit the fabric in this way until the desired height is obtained.
4. The heating pad should not go beyond the handle of the mug.
5. In order for the heating pad to have a beautiful outline, you need to tie the edge with white thread. To do this, tie a thread in the corner of the main blue fabric.
6. We tie the outline of the heating pad with single crochets (SC). We cut the thread and fasten it.
7.The base of the heating pad is ready. Let's start making the decoration. The main element is the Snowman. It will consist of two circles. We begin to knit a large circle. To do this, we collect 4 VPs on a 1 mm thick hook.
8.Using a connecting loop (SP), you need to connect the chain from the VP into a ring.
9.Then we dial 3 VP.
10. We make a set of 21 CCHs in a circle. We connect the last column to the beginning of the row.
11. We collect a chain consisting of 3 VPs.
12.Then we make a dc, catching it under the same loop from which the VP of this row was collected.
13.Next you need to dial 2 Dcs from each VP of the previous row. At the end we connect the row.
14. We tie the last row of the large circle using RLS.
15. We knit the second circle in a smaller size. The knitting technique is similar to large circle knitting.
16.Sew the circles to the heating pad.
17.Use black threads to make the Snowman’s eyes and mouth. We knit the nose with a yellow thread. We make a forelock for the Snowman using two-color threads. We knit snowflakes around the Snowman.
18.We get a beautiful winter composition.
19. In order for the heating pad to be attached to the mug, it is necessary to make ties. To do this, take 4 threads of the same size.
20.Fold the thread in half and pull the loop into the corner of the heating pad on the wrong side.

You need to knit a heating pad with yarn that is not coarse or too thick. This craft is a great gift for family and friends!
To knit a warmer for a mug we will need:
- Yarn (blue, white);
- Hook;
- Needle;
- Three buttons.
Crochet warmer for a mug. Master Class:
We begin to knit the main part of the heating pad. It is a long rectangle.
To do this, we collect air loops. We need to collect enough of them so that the length of the chain is equal to the height of the mug.
We knit enough rows so that we can wrap the mug in our fabric.
In the last row we will knit all the loops with single crochets and make buttonholes.
We distribute and mark with a marker the places where we will knit the loops.
We reach the first marker and knit six chain stitches. Then we knit single crochets into the next loops of the base. And we knit all the loops like this.
The loops are ready. Sew buttons on the other side of the warmer.
This is what the warmer on the mug will look like.
Now we will knit a snowflake.
We make five air loops. And we connect them into a ring. Now we knit a single crochet into this ring, then three chain stitches and again a single crochet. We need to knit six such arches.
From it we knit three air loops. Then seven more air loops and a connecting stitch in the seventh loop of the chain. Next we knit seven more chain stitches and a connecting stitch in the same place where we knitted it before. And we repeat once again our seven loops and the connecting column.
Now we knit two air and three more air loops. Next, we make a connecting post in the third loop and perform two more air loops. We knit a single crochet into the next arch.
And we repeat this throughout knitting the entire row. That is, our snowflake will consist of only two rows.
Sew on a snowflake...
The mug warmer is ready!
How does the morning begin? Of course, with aromatic coffee or scalding tea. But sometimes, during our morning routine, we often pour ourselves a drink and simply forget about it, and when we remember, it has long since cooled down.
But this problem can be solved by making a warm heating pad with your own hands that you can put on your mug. Thanks to it, tea or coffee will remain hot for a long time. And these warmers in the shape of the symbol of 2019 - a pig and a pig - will be an excellent gift for the New Year.
Warmer for a mug “Pig”
To knit a heating pad for a mug we will need:
1) Yarn “Denim” pink;
2) Yarn “Denim” black;
3) Hook No. 2;
4) Two black beads for eyes;
5) A small piece of red yarn;
6) Needle and thread;
7) Decorative button;
8) Scissors.
Using pink yarn, we put a chain of air loops on a hook, the length of which is equal to the height of the mug minus 0.5 cm. To measure the height of the mug, you can use a centimeter tape, a ruler, or measure it with a ready-made knitted chain, subsequently adjusting its length by knitting additional loops or , on the contrary, by reducing their number.
As soon as the chain is knitted, we make 3 more air loops for lifting, and then we knit a row of single crochets.
Again we make 3 chain stitches for lifting, and then, turning the knitting, we again knit a row of double crochets to the end of the row. And so on until the knitting completely wraps the surface of the mug - from handle to handle.
In the last row we knit single crochets without tying 6 stitches to the end of the row. Turn the knitting and then knit 9-10 double crochets.
Then we turn the knitting again and repeat the steps. And so 5 rows.
In the penultimate row, first we knit 3 single crochets, then 6 chain stitches, and then again 3 single crochets. You will get a button hole like this (pictured).
We knit the last row completely with single crochets.
After this, we tie the heating pad around the entire perimeter with black yarn in single crochets.
To knit an eyelet pointed in the middle, we cast on 4 chain loops, close them into a ring, and then knit single crochet stitches to the middle of the ring, knitting 2-3 loops in each loop. We turn the knitting, knit 3 air loops for lifting, and then knit double crochets to the middle of the semicircle, making 1 increase in the fourth loop. After this, we knit 3 air loops, then connect the last loop with the first air loop and continue to knit double crochets until the end of the row, making 1 addition 4 loops before the end of the row. After this, we attach black yarn to the edge and tie it around the edge with a pointed tip.
To knit a patch, we cast on 4 chain stitches, close them into a ring, and then knit a flat circle of 4 rows of single crochets. To prevent the circle from bending at the edges, we make additions in each row - in the first row - in each loop, in the second - every 2 loops, in the third - every 4 loops, in the fourth - every 5 loops.
After this, we make 1 air loop for lifting, and then insert the hook into the back segment of the nearest loop and knit a single crochet. We do the next loop in the same way. And so on until the end of the row.
We knit the second row with single crochets in the usual way.
We form the nostrils from a small piece of yarn using a hook.
We sew all the details to the main part of the future heating pad and form the pig’s mouth from a piece of red yarn.
Using a needle and thread, sew on black beads instead of eyes.
The warmer for the “Piglet” mug is ready.
Hot water bottle "Pig"
In this master class we will crochet a wonderful hot water bottle for a mug in the shape of a pink pig.
To knit such an accessory you will need:
- Yarn “Alize Baby Best” pink;
- Hook 3 mm;
- Scissors;
- Needle.
First we need to knit a fabric with a width and height depending on the mug on which we will knit a heating pad.
We assemble a chain of such length that it will be the height of the mug. Next, make 1 more loop and knit 1 single crochet into each loop.
Next we knit several rows. You should get a fabric that can be wrapped around the mug up to the handle.
In the last row we will make loops. We climb 18 loops. We skip 3 loops and perform 1 stitch in 4. Next we knit along the column, leaving 4 loops. We make 18 more loops and knit 1 single crochet into the very last loop.
Sew 2 buttons on the other end. A heating pad will be attached to them.
Now we will knit a muzzle for the pig. Let's start with the ears. We will knit 2 loops and in the very first we will knit 3 single crochets. Let's turn around. In a new row you need to add to the very first and very last loop. We turn around again and knit a row, but do not add any more.
In the new row we continue to increase the eye, so we knit with increases on the sides. That is, in the first and last loops. And we will knit 1 more row without adding. And once again we add in the 1st row and knit the row without adding.
We do not cut the thread, but make a binding. When making the binding, we knit 2 loops in the corners.
We knit a patch. We make 5 loops. In the 2nd loop we will perform 2 single crochets. Next we knit in 2 loops, 1 single crochet. We will knit 3 stitches into the last loop. We knit the connecting post into the lifting loop (5th loop of the initial chain). Make 2 loops on top in the center. We start the row with single crochets. We knit 1 stitch. And in the 2 loops in the center that we marked, we knit 1 half double crochet and here 1 double crochet. In the next loop we first knit 1 double crochet and then 1 half double crochet. We finish the row with single crochets.
In the new row we will knit from the back half loop. We knit 1 single crochet. We knit 1 more row with single crochets. 
Sew on the ears.
We stuff the patch with padding polyester and sew the patch on. Now you need white felt. Cut out the eyes and glue them on with hot glue. Use black nail polish to paint the pupils and nose.
The crochet mug warmer in the shape of a pig is ready! It will be an excellent decoration for the New Year's table.

We knit a new heating pad for a teapot with the symbol of the year - cute monkeys
The New Year holidays are getting closer and closer. Some have already stocked up on gifts for family and friends, while others are still getting ready. Since 2016 is the year of the monkey, I propose to knit these simple, funny monkeys.
I have them living on teapot warmers. But if you attach a loop to the monkey, you will get a keychain for a child’s backpack or a pendant for the car. You can attach the monkey to the main gift, or you can hang it on the Christmas tree. You can also glue a magnet to the monkey’s back. Using the same principle, you can connect a wide variety of monkeys. You just have to change the color of the yarn or add decorations. Imagine!
In order to knit a monkey you need to be able to: knit an air loop, a connecting stitch, a single crochet; make increases and decreases; knit in the round (in a spiral).
Materials:
- yarn of different colors for the monkey itself and clothes (more details in the text);
- red thin yarn (for the mouth);
- white yarn of medium thickness (for the whites of the eyes);
- two black beads or ready-made eyes;
- monofilament or thin thread to match the color of the yarn;
- holofiber or other filler;
- optional: small buttons, acrylic paints or pastels.
Tools:
- crochet hooks;
- needle with a large eye;
- sewing needle;
- ruler.
We knit all the parts that are knitted in the round in a spiral (without lifting loops). We knit with single crochets.
For a monkey, it is better to take yarn of medium thickness - acrylic, half-wool or wool.
I knitted the head and paws of the monkey from acrylic yarn of unknown thickness and yardage. Therefore, in the master class I will give the dimensions of the resulting parts. As you work, you will understand how many rows you need to knit. The knitting patterns are simple - there shouldn't be any difficulties.
Head
1. We knit 6 single crochets into the amigurumi ring and knit according to the circle pattern (that is, we make 6 increases in each row).
You should get a circle about 4 cm in diameter (photo A). For this, I needed to knit 4 rows.
3. We knit one row, making 5 decreases (photo B). The diameter of the resulting hole in the “cup” should be approximately 2-2.5 cm. If it turns out a little larger or smaller, it’s not scary. Monkeys, they are different).
4. Again we knit without decreasing, approximately 1.5 cm (photo D).
This is what the pear looks like:
Knitting ears
Before knitting the ears, mark with something writing where they will be located (2 dots per ear). Make the ears in the middle of the head or slightly lower. If you do it higher, you won’t get a monkey, but an unidentified animal.
1. Insert the hook under the post at the first point of the ear. Pick up the thread and pull out the loop (photo A). Leave the “tail” long, it will participate in knitting.
2. Knit a chain of 3-4 chain stitches. Knit with both threads (working and tail) (photo B).
3. Attach the chain with a connecting loop at the second point. You will get a loop-the base of the eye (photo B).
4. Turn your head around and tie the base with single crochets. At the same time, knit only with a working thread. Place the “tail” along the base loop and tie the base together with it (photo D). I got 6 sc. Depending on the thickness of the yarn, you may have more or fewer stitches.
5. Knit a connecting stitch in the same place where you started knitting.
6. Unfold the knitting again and knit a row of connecting stitches. Knit the last connecting stitch to the second starting point of knitting (where the chain of air loops was attached when forming the base) (photo A). Cut the yarn leaving the second “tail” longer.
You have an ear with two “tails”.
7. Thread the upper tail into the needle. Insert the needle into the base of the ear and out at the back of the head (photo B). Pull the thread and secure with a knot.
8. Thread the lower “tail” into the needle as well. To make the eyelet more neat, insert the needle under the first connecting post of the row (photo B).
9. Insert the needle into the base of the ear and out at the back of the head (photo D). Pull and secure the thread.
10. Symmetrically to the first, tie the second eye.
If desired, you can tint the face with acrylic paint. To do this, moisten the desired areas with clean water. Dilute the paint to liquid ink and apply it to the face with a brush. I tinted the upper part of the muzzle with brown paint. I painted my cheeks and ears with red paint.
Attention! If you tint, like me, with acrylic paint, do this before you embroider the nose and sew on the eyes. If you plan to do the tinting with pastels (you can use pastel pencils or even powder), then only after you have embroidered the nose and made the eyes.
Before further work, mark the places where the nose, eyes and mouth will be located. Our monkey is, of course, stylized. But in order for it to be recognizable, the details must be correctly positioned relative to each other.
Remember what features apes have? Absence or complete absence of the bridge of the nose. Often a wide nose. Eyes set close to each other, powerful lower jaw. Sound scary? But it is precisely these features that need to be emphasized so that the monkey turns out to be a monkey, and not a little man.
Embroidering the nose
For the nose, use the same yarn as for the head or a lighter one. You should not make a black or brown nose.
1. Fasten off the yarn and make a cover of cross stitches (Photo A).
2. Perpendicular to the first layer, make a second layer. Place the stitches close to each other, without overlaps or gaps. If you want a more convex nose, then do a couple more layers (photo B). Bring the thread to the back of the head and secure.
In the future, the place behind the head, where all the knots will be, will be covered by the upper part of the body - mark this place in advance.
If desired, the nose can be tinted.
Making eyes
1. Sew beads with black thread. Place them close together and close or almost close to your nose. The same applies to ready-made eyes if you attach them.
2. Attach a white thread to the back of your head. Bring it near the bead (photo A).
3. Wrap the thread around the eyes. Insert the needle into the starting point and bring it to the back of the head (photo B).
4. Pull the thread and secure (photo B). The resulting loop should not slide off the bead. If the white of the eye seems too thin and unnoticeable, apply a second layer and repeat all steps again.
5. Place the needle on the face again, this time around the second bead, and repeat the entire procedure (photo D). Fasten the thread to the back of the head.
Embroidering the mouth
We will embroider a wide mouth, almost to the ears. And let's place it low, away from the nose.
1. Take a red thread (I have “Children’s New”) and secure it to the back of the head. Bring onto the face and embroider the base of the mouth using a backstitch (photo A).
2. Now pick up each resulting stitch with a needle one by one and pull the thread through it. Do not pierce the fabric with a needle. The thread should only pass under the stitches. You seem to wrap around the stitches of the original seam (photo B). Always insert the needle in one direction. If you started, for example, from right to left, then continue that way (photo B).
3) It turns out such a neat lace (photo D).
Knitting the body
Well, we knit the body, that’s a big word :), we knit a bell coat.
I knitted from Alize fine yarn (wool blend, 390 m/100 g).
1. We start knitting with 6 single crochets in an amigurumi ring.
Do not forget to shift the increases relative to the increases of the previous row.
We knit until the height of the bell is approximately 6-7 cm. We knit tightly so that the bell holds its shape well.
2. Having finished knitting, we tie it with yarn of a different color. It will look elegant and winter-appropriate if you tie it with textured yarn. I knitted with Alize softy yarn (100% micropolyester) in two threads. Using the same yarn, but in one thread, I made a chain stitch using a hook along the bell coat.
Sew the head to the body
Knitting paws
We knit a chain of air loops of the required length. We knit a series of connecting posts on it.
For the upper legs we knit two blanks. For the lower ones - one long one.
Knitting mittens
I also knitted the mittens from Alize fine yarn, but yellow.
1. We knit 6 single crochets into an amigurumi ring.
2. In the second row we make 3-4 increases.
4. We put the mittens on the paws and sew them on.
Knitting felt boots
It’s good to knit felt boots from some fluffy yarn.
I knitted from Alize real 40 Angora in two threads.
1. We knit the sole with single crochets according to the oval pattern. I did not present the diagram here. If you have never knitted an oval before, then look on the Internet - there are sooooo many patterns and patterns!
I started knitting with a chain of 6 chain stitches, plus a rise loop. To get the sole size I needed, I needed to knit one row. In order for the toe of the felt boot to be wider than the heel, I started knitting the second row by making three increases from the toe side (see photo).
2. Then we knit without increasing/decreasing until the end of the row.
You should get something like this. We make the size of the “bast shoe” hole to your liking. The main thing is that the monkey's paw fits into it.
4. We knit the boot (is that what it’s called in a felt boot?). In the first row, from the heel side, make 1 decrease.
6. In the last row, from the toe side, make 1-2 increases.
Finish knitting with a connecting stitch. Leave the “tail” longer. Then you will use it to sew the felt boot onto the monkey’s paw.
Place a small lump of filler in your felt boots socks.
Sew the upper legs to the monkey's body.
She is already looking with lust at her future feet in felt boots.
We put the lower legs into the bell body and sew them on.
Knitting a hat and scarf
For the scarf, knit a chain of chain stitches of the required length.
Knit several rows with single crochets until the scarf is the desired width.
I knitted a scarf from Alize real 40 Angora yarn in one thread, Bosnian knitting.
Bosnian knitting is knitting with connecting stitches.
I knitted each row only in the back half loop. The result is a fabric similar to knitting.
Since the fabric in Bosnian knitting is very dense, it is better to use a thick hook. Then the scarf will turn out soft. One more point - when knitting with connecting stitches, at the beginning of each row, a lifting loop is also made.
We knit the hat in the same way as the bell body. Only in each row we do not 2, but 1 increase. We knit until the hat fits on the monkey’s head.
Making a pompom is not difficult. Then it can be sewn or tied to the top of the hat.
Doing your hair
The previous monkey has a cap on its head. It is sewn on and therefore I did not do the hair.
If you want, you can make our monkeys' hairstyles.
1. Prepare pieces of yarn (photo A). It is better to take yarn that can be easily unraveled into separate threads and combed. We make the segments longer, with a margin. Then you can trim everything.
2. Insert the hook under the post on the monkey’s head (photo B).
3. Fold a piece of yarn in half. We hook it and pull it out (photo B).
We pull the “tails” through the resulting loop and tighten (photo D).
We tie this around the entire top of the monkey’s head.
Let's trim. We unravel the yarn with a needle and comb it with a brush. We trim again.
This is the kind of forelock this monkey boy got
And this shy girl with a ponytail on top of her head, warmed herself with a knitted bandage.
Bandage:
1. We knit a chain of air loops along the width of the bandage.
2. Knit in single crochets until the bandage is the desired length.
We knit only in the back half loop - you get an elastic band.
3. Sew the ends of the bandage and put it on the monkey’s head.
I dusted my monkeys with snow. To do this, I applied undiluted white acrylic paint to a semi-dry brush. I removed the excess by poking a napkin and touched up the monkeys. It has become completely winter.
And this is a monkey from warm countries. She also has a ponytail on top of her head. And the bandage is not for insulation, but for beauty.
Here the headband is two chains of air loops decorated with beads.
And, by the way, about the tail. Not just the one on the top of the head, but the one on the butt.
The tail can be knitted in the same way as the paws were knitted and sewn in its proper place.
As I already said, my monkeys live on heating pads. For example, on this one.
How to knit a heating pad itself, look at this Master Class .
By combining two master classes, you can easily knit an elegant winter warmer for yourself or as a gift.
