A sleeveless jacket is a comfortable and beautiful piece of clothing that is suitable for both cool and warm summer weather. By knitting a sleeveless sweater from thin cotton yarn, you will present yourself with a new element for a summer wardrobe that can be combined with any other clothing - trousers and skirts of various lengths, as well as with a variety of accessories. In order to knit a sleeveless jacket for size 46-48, take 200 g of cotton yarn and hook No. 1, 5. Also prepare a pattern for the product and find a pattern for an openwork pattern that you will include in knitting.
Instructions
Step 1
Calculate the knitting density and start knitting the back with a chain of thirteen chain stitches and three lift chain stitches. Knit with the main pattern, repeating the rapports and from the third row begin to make increases, adding one rapport in every second row.
Step 2
Measure the fabric from time to time - when the width reaches 46 cm, start knitting straight without adding. At a height of 46 cm from the bottom edge in every second row, leave 1 rapport 2 times for the armholes. Measure from the beginning of the armholes 12 cm and arrange the neckline of the back.
Step 3
Without knitting the middle seven repeats of the pattern, finish both halves of the back separately. Decrease one rapport twice every 5 cm to get a beveled neckline. For the shoulder bevel, leave three rapports twice every second row from the outside edge.
Step 4
Having knitted the back, proceed to knitting the front of the sweater, which is knitted separately from three parts - separately knit the lower part, the openwork insert of four stripes and the upper part. After tying openwork stripes (2 x 28 cm and 2 x 19 cm), iron them.
Step 5
Knit the lower part of the front of the jacket in the same way as the back, performing the bevel in a mirror image. At a height of 13 cm from the edge, divide the work in half into left and right parts. Knit the left and right sides of the front separately.
Step 6
Sew the openwork stripes together in pairs and sew them to the right and left sides of the bottom. Then knit the top of the front of the sweater by taking on a chain of seven chain stitches and knitting one repeat of the main pattern.
Step 7
Knit further the main pattern, adding rapport to the right and left in each row. Bevel the shoulder 6 cm from the neckline. Sew the upper part of the front to the openwork stripes.
Step 8
Tie a 31-rapport stand-up collar, then assemble.
