In many educational institutions, knitted vests have become mandatory elements of school uniforms. Factory models are not always suitable for a child, especially with a non-standard figure, and sometimes they are quite expensive. At the same time, it is enough to learn a simple scheme of a classic product, and you can quickly knit a simple vest for school. The universal model will suit both a girl and a boy - it is enough to choose the desired embossed pattern and color of the product.
V-Neck Buttoned School Vest: Back
Try knitting a simple school vest with a simple embossed pattern and a V-neck if your school's uniform requirements permit. The classic V-neck sleeveless jacket with buttons not only looks stylish, but also easy to use - it is easy to put on, and girls will be able to let out a beautiful frill blouse.
Start with a sample of 10x10 cm fabric and determine the density of your knitting - this will determine the length of the bottom edge of the product. So, for the back of a simple vest to school for a child 12 years old (hereinafter all calculations for this age), you need to dial 117 loops with knitting needles, provided that the density of knitwear on knitting needles No. 3 is 26 loops and 37 rows. Tie a 2x2 elastic band on needles # 2, 5 a 3 cm high canvas, then go to needles # 3.
Stitch the back of the school vest with the front stitch until you reach the line of the armholes of the sleeves. Calculate the distance from the bottom edge to the beginning of the decrease individually using fittings. For a 12-year-old child, armhole shaping can be started after about 134 rows of knitting. Close on opposite sides, stepping back a couple of loops from the edge, 1 time by 3 loops, 2 times by 2 and 6 times by 1.
After 54 cm from the beginning of the elastic (calculated individually), begin to make bevels of the shoulders of the vest symmetrically from opposite edges: take out of work 4 times 6 loops every other row. When you start the first decreases, measure out the center 33 loops, close them for the neck and go to knitting with two balls. On the left and right of the cutout, make decreases through the row: first, 3 loops at once, then 1 time in two. Leave the last rows of the back open.
School vest shelves with buttons
Begin to knit the left - the shelf of the tank tops with a V-neck. Determine the length of the inlaid edge individually, taking into account the finished back of the product and the required width of the fastening strip. Here: 55 initial stitches. Having knitted an elastic band 3 cm on the needles No. 2, 5, go to the needles No. 3 and carry out the front of the vest with the selected pattern. Make the armholes and bevels of the shoulders according to the pattern of the back, and fitting will help determine the beginning of the V-neck. In this example, the notch decreases start at the same time as the armholes are formed.
For a triangular neck, step back from the knitting edge a couple of loops and make decreases: 3 times in the loop through the row, 15 times in the loop in every fourth row. Complete the shoulder line following the pattern of the sleeveless back, leave the last thread arms open. Follow the right shelf of the product symmetrically.
Tie together the common fastener and cutout planks. Here: the inlaid edge consists of 159 loops, an elastic band 2x2 is knitted on the needles No. 2, 5. Perform the holes for the buttons in the following sequence: 5 rows with an elastic band; Tie 3 loops with an elastic band; 2 close; Tie 28 loops; Close 2 and repeat to the end of the row. Subsequently, over the closed thread arches, dial a couple of new ones, knit 3 rows and complete the work without closing the loops. Knit the plank on which the buttons will be sewn on needles No. 2, 5 without any reductions.
Assembling the V-Neck School Vest
Sew on the shoulders of the sleeveless cut with a knitted stitch along the open loops. With a kettle, join the plank with the edges of the shelves and cut-out, sew side seams. Along the edge of the armholes of the school vest, cast evenly loops on circular knitting needles No. 2, 5 and tie the strap with a 2x2 elastic band 3 cm high. You just have to sew small buttons to match the knitwear to the sleeveless jacket.
Simple embossed pattern for school vest
You can knit a simple vest for school with the front satin stitch, or decorate it with two symmetrical, unobtrusive rapports. The uncomplicated and at the same time spectacular reliefs include classic harnesses based on crossing loops. Try the Keg pattern.
In the first row, make a purl; 4 facial; purl, in the second, continue along the drawing. In the third - purl; remove the front knitting needle on the auxiliary knitting needle and place it in front of the canvas; knit 3 subsequent facial ones, then the removed one. Complete the rapport with a purl. It will be enough for you to knit symmetrically one strip of the "Keg" harness on the left and right shelves.
How to make it easier to knit a school vest: helpful tips
- You can tie a simple vest to school even faster if you complete only two details of the cut: the back and, according to its model, the front. In this case, one strip of embossed pattern in the center of the product will be enough.
- The armholes of the school vest can be crocheted with two rows of single crochet posts.
- If you are not good at knitting on open loops, close the last rows of the vest's shoulder line and carefully join the cut from the wrong side.
- With a little dexterity, the neck strap can turn out to be artisanal, start to puff up. In places where the canvas is rounded, make an elastic band, alternating 2 front and 3 purl (2x3) and in the process of doing the work, reduce the pattern to 2x2.
