Instructions
Step 1
The basis for knitting cardigans is the same. The choice of yarn depends on the season. A warm cardigan is knitted from thick woolen yarn, a product made from bouclé yarn looks very good. For summer models, it is better to take cotton yarn.
A raincoat or coat of a suitable size is suitable for the pattern. It is necessary to measure the length, width of the back, width of the shelves, length and width of the sleeve. You also need to determine and outline the depth and width of the cutout.
To determine the number of loops that need to be cast on the knitting needles, it is necessary to calculate the number of loops in one centimeter by knitting a small sample from the selected yarn.
Step 2
The back is knitted with a straight fabric without subtraction from bottom to top. The hinges all close in one row. The shelves are knitted in the same way, but the loops are reduced along the cut line.
To simplify the work, the knitted fabric must be applied to the pattern and clearly follow the cut lines. The sleeves are knitted from the bottom up, starting with the elastic. Tie the elastic by alternating the front and back loops. On the sides, add one loop in every fourth row on both sides. Having knitted the desired length of the sleeve, close the loops in one row.
Step 3
You need to sew the details of the product with woolen thread on your hands. Then, along the edges of the shelves and the neck, dial the loops. To do this, it is better to use long circular needles (needles connected by fishing line) 1 size smaller than the main needles. Having knitted 3-4 cm, close the loops freely.
A cardigan knits much faster on a knitting machine. The principle of operation is the same. When the details are sewn, you can use the sewing machine. On the edges of the shelves and the neck, dial the loops on the knitting needles. Having knitted 3-4 cm, close it in one row freely - this will form a neat neck and edge of the product.
Cardigans need not be afraid to knit even for novice knitters.
