It is necessary
- - 500 g of yarn;
- - knitting needles number 4 and 5;
- - circular needles No. 4.
Instructions
Step 1
Before starting work, be sure to tie a 10x10 cm sample. It will allow you to determine the density of the knit. If in the resulting sample there are more loops than necessary in accordance with the model diagram, take the knitting needles to a size thicker. If, on the contrary, more, then one size less. The knitting density will depend on the thickness of the thread, knitting needles and your particular knitting style.
Step 2
Back To knit a back, cast 126 loops on the needles No. 4 and knit 6-7 centimeters with a 1x1 or 2x2 elastic band. so that it does not stretch during the process of wearing, knit it very tightly. Sometimes experienced knitters add a thin rubber streak to the thread. However, it is quite difficult to find a vein of a suitable color if you do not want your piece to take on a mottled shade. Then go to knitting needles # 5 and continue knitting with the front stitch. Usually, no ornaments are made on the back of a men's vest. At a height of 35 centimeters from the elastic, close ten loops on each side for the armholes, and once five loops, and then in every second row three loops and two loops. Then knit without subtraction. For the neckline, close 42 loops in the center of the part at a total height of 65-67 centimeters. After four rows, close the remaining loops on both sides and finish knitting the back.
Step 3
Before Knit the front in the same way as the back. But at a height of 43-45 centimeters from the beginning of knitting, divide the work into two parts in the middle and knit separately. On both sides, subtract one stitch 21 times in every second row. At a total height of 65-67 centimeters, close all loops.
Step 4
Assembly Moisten the front and back parts, lay them out on a flat, flat surface and let dry for 24 hours. Then fold the right sides together and sew the side and shoulder cuts by hand with a needle-forward stitch, or sew with a narrow zigzag stitch on a sewing machine. To tie the tape, lift the loops along the neck using the circular knitting needles # 4, and knit with 1x1 elastic band back and forth for 5-6 rows. Sew the binding in the center, putting its ends on top of each other. Knit the sleeve tape in the same way or round. Finish knitting according to the pattern. The men's vest is ready.
