As your hands tie a sweater, the master class will help you
How to knit a sweater you saw at a random placepassers-by and really liked it, when there is no way to find a detailed description of the work, and your own knitting experience is measured in several meters of neatly knitted scarves? For example, you saw a sweater like this:
Isn't he adorable? How to knit a sweater to achieve the same freedom of fit, such an interesting play of colors? Preparing for work
You were happy to note that unknown to youthe master used only two types of patterns, or rather – one. This is elastic on the sleeves and at the bottom. The rest – facial surface. You can do this. By the way, if you sew it correctly, without seams, you could wear it inside out… The elastic is apparently 1x1. Alternate 1 knit stitch and 1 purl stitch. In principle, this is not so important. 2x2 looks quite good too. Yarn I hope you felt this sweater unnoticed. Otherwise, how to knit a sweater, from what? Judging by the “murmuring” the structure of the knitwear, as if flowing along the curves of the body, is silk. Why does the front surface look not smooth at all? And due to the material, and even more due to the color. But you can and should experiment with color. The main thing – maintain contrast in melange. The black and white version is beautiful. But you can go hotter: hot pink with brown – How do you like it? What about delicate turquoise and dark blue? Go for it! It’s not good if two identical sweaters meet in the same city, is it? Spokes
There is one more important question left:how to knit a sweater? Knitting needles, yes. And what? The texture of the front surface in this case cannot be called dense. This means that the knitting needles should not be number two, but at least number four. It is necessary to warn about certain difficulties of such knitting. Silk – extremely slippery thread. Metal knitting needles – Same. And if the knitting needle slips out (and it will definitely do this more than once), the loops will irreversibly creep down, you will be tortured to lift them, and it will not work out straight. Wooden knitting needles are good. They are not that slippery. And you will need exactly these – round, if you want to knit a sweater with virtually no seams. The actual work Knit a sample from the selected yarn with the required knitting needles. Wet it and dry it. Iron. Count the rows and stitches in one square centimeter – in length and height. Record the data. Then take your measurements. Or lay out one of your blouses that fits your size on the table and measure it. Measure the bottom of the front of the blouse/future sweater. Calculate the number of loops and feel free to start knitting an elastic band, 5-6 centimeters, no more is needed. Then in the last row of elastic, add one loop evenly every 10-15. And move on to the smooth surface. What's next?
Knit just like a scarf, without further ado, untilthe time has come to decorate the neckline with a boat. Divide the number of loops in half, count half the loops from the middle of the distance you intend to expose, mark this place with a contrasting additional thread or a special marker and count the same number of loops in the other direction from the middle. Having knitted the row to the first marker, bind off all the loops to the next one and bring the row to the end. Going back, cast on exactly the same number of loops as you cast off. Be careful with this. Most often, loops cast on by weight when knitting turn out to be substandard. But you try and you will succeed. Have you noticed that you have already started knitting the back? So, we understood how to knit a sweater without instructions. Now knit to the elastic band, then the elastic band, and close, with God, all the loops. There are sleeves left. Be bold, brave little tailor, measure the width of the sleeves, carefully mark the place where you will tie them to the main part. Sleeves and finishingIt is recommended to measure this place with an exact count.rows, not by eye! Be sure to write everything down, mark it with markers or knitting threads! And if you haven’t lost, but have gained additional courage, take on two sleeves at once, whatever. Right along the edge of the front and back, hook 2 loops each and pull a new loop onto the adjacent knitting needle. Don't miss out on the face and back of the sleeves! The product itself is temporarily deformed, but you will soon be able to straighten it and admire it once you have tied about a third of the sleeves. In the meantime – forward and straight! And don't ask me how to knit a sweater anymore. A third of the sleeves were tied – start decreasing 1 stitch on each side in every 6th row. 20 loops will definitely have to be tidied up. But just in case, don’t part with your measuring device! This is how you tie it to the elastic band. And you can even tie an elastic band. Then close the loops. Now you will sew – that's all.
