Marilyn Monroe is not only a famous actressHollywood, but also a famous needlewoman. In some movie scenes, as well as in life, Marilyn wore sweaters and cardigans that she could knit herself. At the same time, she was a skilled craftswoman, and not every beginner needlework enthusiast will be able to repeat the things she knitted. One of her most famous sweaters, for some reason called "necklace", can be tried to knit, focusing on a photo of the actress.

Preparatory stage

Let's take a closer look at how to knit a sweater fromcelebrities. This will allow you to make a clear description, and at the same time calculate the correct distribution of the patterns used. If you look at this model carefully, it turns out that almost any of the novice craftswomen can knit such a sweater with knitting needles for women. You just need to "disassemble" it by the openwork used.
So, the bottom, cuffs and top are knitted with a regular elastic band. Pattern: 2 IZ + 2 LP, then according to the pattern. You will not need to add loops after the edging. This women's sweater is knitted with an even fabric.
The sleeve is simple, not raglan.The main product will have a notch for the armhole. There is one subtlety: the side braids on the canvas should end exactly before the beginning of the sleeve. This pattern is picked up, since the same strip will go down the arm in a braid. The neck is wide, the top is later knitted separately with an elastic band and sewn in. It turns out a narrow "boat".
The center of the front of the women's sweater is knitted with boucle. The same pattern on the sleeve is broken up by braids. For this detail, you will need a clear pattern, as for the main parts of the sweater.
This women's sweater is also decorated with diamonds. They go along the side parts of the front. The back of the sweater is knitted with boucle, not counting the braids at the seam itself. You can see how the boucle will look in the picture.

In this diagram: 1 - IP, 2-LP. So the picture shows the type of knitting on the face. Therefore, we knit the purl rows so as not to break the alternation, we read the diagram in reverse.
Knitting braids is not particularly difficult evenfor beginner needlewomen. When you knit a sample, your hands will get used to working with three knitting needles, or using a pin for removed loops. On this sweater for women, 6 sts are involved in the braid, that is, we interlace 3x3. But the removal will always occur before knitting, and not after it. The braid is woven only in one direction. The pattern of diamonds of a women's sweater will look like the one shown in the picture.

The same designations apply here: 1 – LP, 2 – IP.But the diagram shows only the front rows, the back is knitted according to the pattern, over the LP - LP, over the IP - IP. In this case, the displacement of the walls of the rhombus is knitted as in a braid. That is, the last LP is removed to a separate knitting needle or pin, 2 IP are knitted, then LP. The same is in the case when you need to shift the IP.
Once the patterns are sorted out, you can start composingdescription of how to knit a sweater "necklace" for women. We will need 8 skeins of semi-woolen yarn of any color to your taste. The length of the thread is no more than 300 m in 100 gr. That is, we take not very thick threads, which are better knitted with knitting needles No. 2.5.

We take measurements and knit a sweater

Here we will give approximate data for women 42-44 size:

Length of sweater: 65 cm;
Back width: 40 cm;
Armhole: 25 cm;
Shoulder: 6 cm;
Sleeve: 55 centimeters.

For the front part of the sweater, cast on 126 stitches.p. Knit 10 cm with an elastic band. Now we divide the fabric into patterns. 3 SP indentations, of which one is edge. Braid 6 p. and 2 p. after it. Stripe 2 LP. Then comes a rhombus - 16 p. We repeat the stripe and two braids.
We calculate how much we have left on the fieldboucle. The side patterns together make up 47 sts. The formula is: 124 – 47x2 = 30 sts. This is how we knit the first row of a women's sweater. Next, according to the pattern, observing all the elements of the openwork, we create the fabric. You need to knit 30 cm. Then close 9 sts from each edge. This is how we mark out the armhole. Now we have one less pattern – the braids on the sides have ended.
When we finished another 15 cm.we begin to knit the neck. We perform patterns to the middle of the fabric, to the boucle zone. This is 39 sts, we close the middle - 30 sts, we knit another 39 sts on the other side. Now systematically in each row we remove 1 st. from the side of the neckline until 13 sts remain. It remains to finish the entire length of the sweater up to 65 cm and close the shoulder.
The back of the sweater is similar in volume.front part of the women's model. The main fabric is boucle, only on the sides there are 3 IP indentations, a braid and 2 sts. behind it. Knit everything according to the pattern to the armhole, and further. Total 50 cm. The last 5 cm are the neckline. Close 46 sts. There will be 30 sts left on each edge. Remove 1 st in each row until the shoulder remains - 13 sts. Finish the full length of the sweater and close the loops.

The sleeves are knitted last.The width of the women's cuff is 16 cm. Cast on 42 sts, knit a 10 cm elastic band. Then add 7 sts in the first row of the main fabric. Next, calculate the patterns. The indent and braids, as on the front of the sweater, in total this will be 11 sts from each edge. Another braid and two stripes from the LP in the middle. This is 14 sts. The rest is boucle. Two pieces of 7 sts.
But then, with traditional knitting, on every 6th row.Add 2 sts on the sides. The boucle field will grow, but the braids will have to be carefully moved to the edge so that they always go along the side of the piece. So 40 cm are knitted. Then we close the loops.
Assemble our sweater for stylish women. Sew the shoulders, sew on the sleeves, join the side seams. To make it easier, steam each piece first. All that's left is to sew on the collar.
This women's sweater has a special necklineirregular boat. To knit it, cast on loops along the entire neck using a long hook, and then simply knit 8-10 cm. with an elastic band. And here is the women's "necklace" from Marilyn Monroe ready.
