Knitting is one of the most common female hobbies. And this is not surprising, because you can not only perfectly choose your style, color and composition, but you can not go wrong with the size. If you knit sweaters for yourself, you will significantly save your budget.

Instructions
Step 1
To knit a sweatshirt, you need to learn how to dial loops, knit front and back loops, close and decrease loops, and also knit armholes of sleeves and a neckline. The jacket is knitted with several details that are connected at the end of knitting.
Step 2
Before you start knitting, you need to make a pattern. Check out fashion magazines, online catalogs or go shopping. You need to decide on the style of the jacket. So, for a pattern, you need to take measurements from the waist and chest, as well as measure the length of the sleeves and the depth of the neck.
Step 3
Sweaters that start with knitting an elastic band look very nice. There are a huge number of different rubber bands. For example, simple elastic bands - alternately 2 facial, 2 purl; 1 front, 3 purl; 3 facial, 3 purl, etc. Complex elastic bands - English, Polish, French, fluffy, oblique, etc. The height of the elastic can be any, but take into account the width based on the fact that the elastic will shrink several times.
Step 4
After the elastic, start knitting the main fabric of the sweater. You can choose a pattern that you like for knitting, front or back stitch. So it is necessary to knit to the armholes of the sleeves. At the height of the armholes, close the 5 outer loops on both sides, and then 2 times 3 loops each. Continue knitting to the height of the neckline.
Step 5
The neckline is the most difficult part of the jacket, since it is it that gives a beautiful and spectacular look to the product. Since the jacket is the most common part of the wardrobe, it does not have such specific features as a sweater, pullover or vest. Therefore, the neck can be any: round, square, V-shaped, with a neck, a collar, etc.
Step 6
The sleeves need to be knitted from the bottom. Be sure to make an elastic to prevent the sleeve from curling up or rubbing off. A 3/4 sleeve will look interesting, but you can also knit a regular one. The pattern for the sleeve is drawn separately, and use the diameter of the arm at the wrist, elbow and shoulder as measurements. You can dial the buttonholes for the sleeve from the pre-sewn parts of the front and back, but in this case, carefully monitor the addition of loops on both sides so that the sleeve does not turn out to be too narrow.
