The original knitting pattern knitting sweater without seams. A simple master class with a step-by-step photo.
Craftswomen, I offer you myanother creation - a seamless knitted sweater "Knitted Geometry". The beauty of this model is that it is knitted without tearing the thread from the part, and you do not have to then take a needle in your hands and sew everything together. It sounds, of course, scary and confusing, but in fact, everything is simple. You just have to take the knitting needles in your hands, choose the thread from which you want to knit and start creating, following the description below. Well, let's begin.
For knitting the sweater I used Nako Sirma threads and #3 circular knitting needles.
During the process of making the product, several types of knitting will be used:
- Garter stitching (all rows are knitted with facial loops)
- Front stitch (front side - front loops, back side - back loops)
The knitting of this sweater is modular, i.e.we start with one square, then we tie the next one to it and so on until the whole product is ready. Below is a description of the square, all the others will be knitted similarly to the first one. We cast on 37 loops on the knitting needles.
1 row.We knit 17 face loops (while always removing the first one, as an edge loop, without knitting), then we need to knit 3 loops together, and the middle one should be on top. To do this, we need to remove the first 2 loops in places and put them back on the knitting needle, changing their places (in reverse order), i.e. we kind of twist 2 loops between themselves, after which we knit 3 loops together with the front one. We also knit the remaining 17 loops with the front ones.
I would like to draw attention to the fact that in this model,When knitting squares, the last stitch in each row is always knitted as a front stitch, contrary to the accepted custom of doing this as a back stitch. We do this in order to get a “knotted” edge of the fabric. Row 2. The next row is knitted with just front stitches. Row 3. Knit 16 front stitches, 3 stitches together (as in the first row), 16 front stitches.

Here we have our first square ready. Next, we cast on 17 loops along the edge of our square.
We cast on the remaining 19 loops onto the knitting needle to make 37, and knit the next square.
So for the first row we need 6 squares,while knitting the last 6 square we tie it to the first one. To do this, in every second row we need to knit the last loop, capturing the outer loop of the first square in the corresponding row. Here we have the first row ready.
We knit the remaining 2 rows similarly to the first.We cast on loops along the edge of the nearest square (keep in mind which way you choose the bottom square, that is the direction the diagonal stripe on the next square will go) 17 loops, the remaining 19 loops are cast on from the working thread.
We knit the first square of the second row in the same way as all previous squares.
To knit the next square, cast on 17 loops along the edge of the square just knitted, and the remaining 19 along the lower corresponding square.
Then we continue knitting using the same principle.all the rest of our squares, until we get three rows. In the fourth row, you need to knit 2 front squares and break the thread, skip one lower square and, based on 4 and 5 squares from the 3rd row, knit 2 more squares of the 4th row. As a result, you get 2 squares, skip one and 2 more squares. Thus, we knit armholes for the sleeves. But they turn out too square, so you need to finish knitting small triangles in the corners.
It is done this way:Along the bottom edge, cast on 6 loops and knit them, in the next row, knit the outer 2 loops together with the front one, and so on in each row, knit the 2 outer loops together with the front one and go up the wall of the side square until the loops run out. You need to knit 4 of these triangles - 2 on the front side and two on the back. That's it, the main part is ready, all that's left is a little work - the sleeves and the neck of the sweater! Sleeve Cast on 30 loops on the knitting needles. 1 row, all loops are purl, at the end of the row, make an increase (knit 2 from one loop of the bottom row). 2 row, all loops are front, at the end of the row, make an increase and knit the last loop, capturing the upper loop of the square to which our sleeve is attached.
3rd row all loops purl, last loopwe tie it to the edge of the back square. Since our product is seamless, we tie all the parts to each other during the knitting process. This is how we attached the beginning of our sleeve to the right front and back square of the main part. We continue to knit in the same way the front rows with front loops, the back rows with back loops and go down the armhole of the sleeve until we reach the end of the armhole.
Next, we connect all the loops into a ring, and move onfor convenience, on stocking needles of the required size and knit the sleeve in a circle, now all the time with face loops, adding 2 loops in every second row in the place where we connected the sleeve into a circle (from one lower loop we knit 2 and from the next lower loop we knit 2). At the same time, for the braid in the middle of the sleeve in every 2 rows, starting from the 7th row, we knit 3 loops together, according to the same principle as we did in our squares.
We knit a sleeve of the length we need and at the end 1 cmhollow elastic band. This is done as follows: 1 row: after each loop, make a yarn over, thus doubling the number of loops. 2 row: knit each front loop, and remove the yarn overs onto the knitting needle without knitting, while passing the working thread in front of them. 3 row: knit all yarn overs as purl, and remove the front loops without knitting, while leaving the working thread behind the front loops. Repeat the 2nd and 3rd rows 2 times. Thus, we have divided our fabric into two, making it hollow inside. Close all the loops, knitting not as usual 2 together, but three loops together.
The second sleeve is knitted in the same way.Neckline Along the edge of the product, we cast on loops from one to one and knit on circular or stocking needles (as you find more convenient) all the time in a circle, a row of front row of back loops. Starting from the 2nd row on the right and left side of the neckline, opposite the decreases on the sleeves, we make decreases, knitting 3 loops together according to the same principle as we did in the squares. We repeat the decreases in every second row 7 times. We knit the neckline of the sweater of the length we need and finish with a hollow elastic band, just as we did on the sleeves.
That's all!Hurray, the seamless knitted sweater "Knitted Geometry" is ready. All that's left is to trim all the threads, carry out wet-heat treatment (wash or steam, depending on the yarn you choose) and you can go show off!
