A master class with photo on knitting with needles will help to create a children's sweater that will warm in any weather. The use of bright yarn will make the thing unique and beautiful.
A sweater knitted with your own hands is not onlywill keep the child warm, but will also always look beautiful and unusual. Knitted items on the baby will always say that his mother is a caring craftswoman. A sweater made from a combination of different colors of yarn looks fashionable, beautiful and original. The yarn used in this product is sixty percent wool, so a fashionable knitted item will always keep the baby warm in bad weather.This sweater is designed for a child 0.5-1.5 years old, itslightly elongated, so it can be worn even when the baby is learning to crawl without exposing his back. A detailed master class with photos will help you understand all the intricacies of creating a sweater, master the step-by-step steps of work.
We always start work with the fact thatchoose yarn. Since this is a children's sweater, the threads should be bright and unusual. The lower part of the sweater was knitted from yarn that changes color from red to orange and back throughout, and the upper part was knitted from a single-color yellow thread. White yarn was used for the trim, which helped to separate the contrast and make the thing more interesting. When choosing yarn, focus on "boyish" (light blue, blue) and "girlish" (raspberry, pink) colors, but you can create a sweater from medium tones that usually do not indicate the gender of the child, these are yellow, green, purple. Red, etc. You will need about 70 grams of yarn of the color that the lower part of the pattern consists of, also prepare 60 grams of the second color, from which the upper part of the fabric will be knitted, for the trim you need a little white thread. The sweater is created in stages: first, you need to knit the front part, then the back, sew these parts along the shoulder line, and pick up new loops in the armhole area, from which the sleeve of the product will be created. At the final stage, the side of the product is sewn from the cuff to the waist. We start by picking up loops first. The pattern repeat (that is, the repeating part) consists of 15 loops, so the number of elements picked up should be a multiple of this number. But if you do not add several loops on the sides, the beauty of the pattern will be lost, since the edge of the pattern will simply tighten into the seam line, so add five loops from each edge. If you use medium-sized threads, as in this sample, then 45 loops are enough for the front of the sweater for three repeating parts of the pattern, then add 5 loops twice, which will increase the side part and you also need two loops for the edge, that is, the first and the last. Thus, a total of 57 loops are required. The loops are picked up on both knitting needles, and then one is removed. We begin to knit the first row according to the pattern. First, knit four front loops. To do this, take the knitting needle with loops in your left hand, and with the right knitting needle, without knitting, throw over the first loop (this is always done with the outer first loop), then pick up the front part of the second loop, the working thread should be located on the back side of the knitting tools. Throw the yarn onto the right knitting needle and take out a new loop, the knitted loop from the left knitting needle simply falls down. Having knitted four loops with front loops, we create a yarn over and then knit one loop and a yarn over again.
Now we form a repeating report of sevenface loops, then you need to knit three loops together, but in such a way that the middle one remains in front, and the outer ones are hidden behind it. To do this, remove one loop to an additional knitting needle or hook, then transfer the next loop to the right knitting tool, return the loop from the additional tool to the left knitting needle, then transfer the loop from the right knitting needle back to the left and pick up all three elements, then knit them together like a face loop. Again, you need to knit seven face loops in sequence, create a yarn over and one face loop, after which you need to throw the thread on the right knitting needle again. Yarn overs allow you to make up for the decrease when three loops are knitted and therefore the knitted piece does not change its width. Next, knit the pattern twice more and finish the row with face loops. The last loop is always knitted purlwise so that the edge of the piece is even and beautiful. Turn the work over and start knitting the second row. It, like all the other purl rows, is created using a simple principle - all loops are knitted according to the pattern, that is, according to the type of purl elements. Start creating a new third row with the same pattern as the first: 7 front loops, three together so that their central one lies in front), 7 front elements again, 1 yarn over, 1 front loop and yarn over again. Knit the purl row again entirely from purl loops. Create 5 centimeters of a single-color pattern, and then attach the white yarn. It is necessary to knit two rows from a contrasting thread, but not according to the pattern. Attach the white thread on an odd row and knit a row of continuous purl loops from it. Then turn the work over to the wrong side and knit an even row with front loops, then another purl row will be created on the front side of the product.
On a new row, return to the colored thread and againcreate several rows according to the principle as you knitted from the first row. After five centimeters, again make contrasting rows from white thread, which will highlight the pattern and make the knitted sweater brighter. Knit the third part according to the same principle as the first two components. We proceed to the transition to single-color yarn. On an odd row, attach a new thread and knit 10 rows with the same pattern as the rows with flower yarn, that is, we continue to knit 7 front loops, three together, again 7 front loops, yarn over, 1 front loop and yarn over. Purl rows are always formed only with purl loops throughout the entire length of the product. Now you need to move on to creating the front surface, that is, the odd rows are all knitted along the face, and the even rows are front loops. This is how you need to knit to the neckline. How to knit the neckline:
Now measure the middle loop, that is, the 27th andstarting from it, remove the central 15 loops onto an additional knitting needle (7 to the left and 7 to the right of the central loop). These loops will remain at the bottom. Now knit the side loops step by step, leaving one loop on an additional knitting needle every two rows. First, create such a descent on one side, then on the other. Then lift all the loops onto one knitting needle and knit two rows with a purl stitch from a white thread. Close the white loops, and the first front piece is ready. The back is knitted in the same way as the front piece, but the neckline should be smaller. Now fold the pieces together and start sewing the upper edges, that is, along the shoulder line. Straighten the pieces, mark the desired armhole size so that the sleeve is free, and start casting on loops from the armhole. It is more convenient to cast on loops with a crochet hook.
Knit several rows in plain yellowyarn, they should be 6-7 cm in total. The knitting is the simplest - according to the principle of the front surface. Then tie the white yarn and create two rows in white.
The new row needs to be made from colored yarn,knit on the front side with the wrong side, and turning the work over - make a row of front loops. Then knit 5 cm with the front surface of white threads. Then the pattern is formed from two rows of colored yarn, then the white thread is included in the work again, closer to the end of the row, connect the colored yarn. The last row for closing the loops is created from white threads. which slightly tighten the end of the part. therefore, knit loops two at a time with tension.
Sew the side seams so that all the transition rows match on the two halves of the product. At the last stage, sew on the buttons.
A beautiful knitted sweater for a child is ready, itYou can wear it on a cool walk as outerwear or in winter under a down jacket. Your baby will definitely like such a colorful sweater and will wear it with pleasure.
