All sleeves, whether raglan, flashlight or bat, add a special, unique silhouette to any item. Lantern sleeves look particularly sophisticated and feminine. This element will become the main trump card in an exquisite pullover.
It is necessary
- - woolen threads;
- - knitting needles.
Instructions
Step 1
Adopt a few general rules. First of all, in order for the sleeve of the flashlight to hold, tie a tight cuff. You can thread a string or elastic into the cuffs. Add loops evenly, preferably in the last row of elastic. Increase the number of loops by 3-4 times, the sleeve will be fluffy. Measure the desired length, if you need a short sleeve, it can be knitted evenly, without additions.
Step 2
When making an okata, use a pattern, this is the only way to get the correct shape of the sleeve. Sew the part to the product, collecting the folds of the part from the top. When choosing a flashlight sleeve model, consider the quality of the thread. The flashlight will "hang" if the threads are too soft. Correct the situation with the "hanging" flashlight, sew a "wing" to the inner side of the armhole seam. Make it from foam rubber or synthetic winterizer.
Step 3
Sleeves that clearly shape the style and emphasize the silhouette can be easily distinguished from the rest of the “set”. It is important to knit such a model correctly, in any case, use a pattern in your work.
Step 4
Calculate the number of loops you need based on the thread thickness. Tie a sample, take into account the difference between the additions, measure the length of the sleeve to the round. When knitting, carefully count the rows and added loops. Mark additions with pins or colored thread. The marks will come in handy when you knit the second sleeve.
Step 5
When starting to knit an okat, keep in mind that the edge of the canvas should turn out to be rounded. In order for the rounding to be concave, close the loops in sequence - 5, 4, 3, 2 loops. In order for the rounding to turn out to be convex, increase the number of loops.
Step 6
Consider the height of the armhole, it should match the height of the eyelet. For a consistent calculation, follow the knitting density taken from the sample.
Step 7
The overall appearance of the sleeve is influenced by many factors. When choosing a flashlight sleeve, consider the pattern, the thickness of the threads and knitting needles. Make sure to match the width and length of the sleeves.
