The word "vest" comes from the French gilet, meaning sleeveless men's or women's clothing. It is believed that the name of this comfortable clothing comes from the male name Gilles, a character in the comic French theater, whose images in a vest have been known since the 17th century. Many people love vests, but a bright, exclusive one, so that no one has, and even a warm vest for a girl is what you need. It can be crocheted or knitted from any yarn: wool, acrylic or cotton.
It is necessary
250 g of plain yarn, straight needles No. 4, circular needles No. 3, 5, hook No. 3, 4 buttons to match the yarn
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start knitting, make a pattern to calculate the number of stitches and knitting density. You can choose any pattern for a vest, an ordinary scarf or hosiery, a pearl pattern is also suitable for it. Various braids look beautiful on a sleeveless jacket. If you will be using different patterns, then make samples for each of the patterns. Calculate the required number of loops for the first stacking row. For this. Divide the width of your pattern by the number of stitches. For example, in a 10x10 sample, 20 loops and 35 rows were obtained. Therefore, in 1 cm - 2 loops. Multiply the width of the back by 2. this way, you will get the calculation of the required number of loops for the first set of rows. For a girl of 7 years old, this will be 86 loops.
Step 2
Tie the back part first. Cast on 86 stitches on the needles number 4 and knit with a pattern. In the 39th row from the typesetting row, add one loop for the side bevels once. After 21.5 cm from the typesetting row, close four loops on both sides for armholes once. Then, in every second row, two more times, two loops, two times, one loop. As a result, 68 loops will remain on the needles. Having knitted 38 cm from the inlaid edge for shoulder bevels, close once five loops on both sides, then in every second row once five loops, then six and four loops. Simultaneously with the first decrease for the shoulder bevel, close the middle 28 stitches for the neckline and finish both sides separately. In order for the neckline to be rounded, close three loops once and two loops once from the inner edge in every second row. All loops should be used 40 cm from the inlaid edge.
Step 3
Knit the shelves in the same way. But if you want to make a vest with a fastener, then cast on 43 loops. After a few rows, make a hole for the button on the left shelf, and make the rest of the holes after 19 rows. On the right side, perform a side bevel, armhole and shoulder bevel, as on the back. After 2o cm from the inlaid edge for the V-neck, perform a double decrease on the left side once, and then, in every sixth row, 8 times in a double decrease and once a simple decrease. After 40 cm from the typesetting edge, close all the loops. Knit the right shelf symmetrically.
Step 4
Sew shoulder and side seams. Crochet the edges of the neckline and front cutout with a single crochet. One row will be enough. At the edges of the armholes, cast on 96 loops on the circular needles No. 3, 5 and knit three circular rows. Close the hinges. It remains to sew on beautiful buttons and the vest for the girl is ready.
