Have you already mastered the basics of knitting with two needles? Try knitting a simple sweater. If you make it from thick yarn and thick knitting needles, the work will not take much time, and you will have an exclusive item.
It is necessary
- - 500-600 g of yarn;
- - knitting needles No. 6 and No. 7;
- - circular needles number 6;
- - threads;
- - a needle or sewing machine.
Instructions
Step 1
Whenever you knit, always start with a control piece. A small rectangle or square will help you avoid many mistakes and therefore rework. The sample will show whether the size of the needles corresponds to the thickness of the selected yarn and whether they are suitable for a given pattern.
Step 2
Stretch the resulting sample slightly and measure with a measuring tape. Count the number of stitches and divide by the width of the specimen. The resulting number of loops in one centimeter, multiply by the measure of the part you are going to knit (the value is indicated on the pattern), or make a calculation according to your measurements.
Step 3
To knit a back, dial the required number of loops on the knitting needles, according to your calculations. Knit with a 1x1 elastic band (alternate one front and one purl) 5 centimeters. Then go to the needles number 7. Knit the canvas straight 65–79 cm, close the loops.
Step 4
Before knit in the same way as the back, only knit the neckline. To do this, after 60 centimeters from the beginning of knitting, close 10 loops in the middle and knit each side separately. Decrease for rounding in every second row 5, 3 and 3 times 2 loops. Close the remaining shoulder loops after 65-70 cm from the beginning of knitting.
Step 5
Next, start knitting the sleeves. Cast on needles # 6 about 40 stitches and knit with 1x1 elastic. After 3-4 cm from the beginning of knitting, go to the needles number 7 and knit with the front stitch. For beveled sleeves, add one stitch in every sixth row. Close all loops after 50-55 cm from the beginning of knitting.
Step 6
Pin all the details to the pattern with safety pins, moisten and let them dry flat on a horizontal surface. Complete all seams. Sew sleeves into armholes.
Step 7
Raise the stitches on the circular needles around the neck and knit with a 1x1 elastic to the desired length of the facing. The golf collar is knitted in the same way. The seam can also be tied separately and sewn by hand with a stitching stitch to the neckline.
