Instructions
Step 1
Before you knit a sweater, you need to decide on the knitting method. You can knit as well as crochet. This will depend on what kind of sweater you want. If you are looking for a warm sweater, it is best to knit the sweater. The knitting is tighter and you can choose from a wide variety of patterns. If you need a sweater as a decorative tunic, and protection from cold is not critical, then it is easier and faster to crochet such a long sweater. Crochet types involve a variety of openwork patterns.
Step 2
Then you need to choose a sweater model. This can be done both with the help of specialized knitting magazines and by searching on the Internet. To do this, you need to type in the search box "knitting sweaters" and select from the links provided the model that you like best.
Step 3
After you have decided on the model, select the threads. The thicker the threads, the denser the sweater will be, and vice versa. Pay attention to the composition of the threads, if there is a lot of wool in them, the sweater will be prickly.
Step 4
Then pick up your knitting tools - a crochet hook or knitting needles. The classic picking principle is that the thread should be twice as thin as the tool. But if you plan to knit fishnet things, then you don't have to adhere to this principle.
Step 5
So, start knitting a sweater. Read the sequential description of knitting carefully. Then knit a sample for calculating loops (10x10 cm), wash it, steam it off and compare the number of loops in your knitting with that indicated in the description.
Step 6
If you need an adjustment in quantity, count the loops and knit as described. The sweater can be knitted both in a circle and from separate parts, it depends on the model. The main thing is to follow the instructions correctly and accurately.
