The classic knitted jacket consists of six cut details: two shelves, a back, a pair of sleeves and a turn-down collar. A familiar model of clothing can be modified to suit every taste: make a solid front, a stand or a beautiful collar; complicate the silhouette and decorate the product with an intricate pattern. In the process of work, you will often encounter the need to close the loops. Practice reducing the canvas, then work on the ready-made samples.
It is necessary
- - two straight knitting needles;
- - yarn;
- - knitting pattern;
- - pattern;
- - a needle for stitching parts.
Instructions
Step 1
Start knitting the sweater according to the pattern of the product. For example, make a feminine silhouette with a turndown collar in sizes 42-44. First, cast on 90 stitches on straight knitting needles and knit 6 rows with only knit stitches (garter stitch). You should get a fabric 3 cm high (knitting density - 21 loops and 24 rows in a knitted fabric square 10 by 10 cm).
Step 2
Go to the front surface and follow the back fabric. You will need to fit the cut piece a little, narrowing it up. To do this, on the right and left sides in each 10th row, you need to take out of work 3 times in a loop until only 84 loops remain on the needles.
Step 3
Close the loops at the beginning of the front row (right side of the back) as follows: grab the bows of two adjacent loops with a working knitting needle and knit them as a front one. Then turn the work over and proceed to the purl row. Now the first two loops are knitted together with the purl.
Step 4
Continue to knit the knitted fabric, constantly checking the pattern. When you knit to the place of the future attachment of the sleeves, you will need to close the loops of the sweater to smoothly round the line of the armholes. Start work when 40 cm of the back is tied from the bottom of the product.
Step 5
Decrease 6 loops in each 2nd row, then close another loop on the right and left parts a couple of times. Do it in the following sequence: at the beginning of the front row, the edge loop is removed on the knitting needle; the front loop is knitted; a knitted one is pulled through the removed bow. According to this pattern, the fabric is cut into the required number of loops. At the beginning of the next row, also remove the purl loops.
Step 6
Make sure you make the deductions correctly. In this example, the back pattern should have sleeve armholes 4 cm deep. Only 68 loops should remain on the needles.
Step 7
Knit the sweater in straight and reverse rows until you reach the beginning of the neckline of the garment (this will be at a height of 18 cm from the armhole). Now you need to close the 18 center loops. Do this by pulling the knitted loop through the loop that was removed (see point 5).
Step 8
On the right and left sides of the cut, round off the cutout: in each 2nd row remove first 3 loops, then 2. To do this, knit the loops together (see point 3).
Step 9
Work on the end of the back using yarn from two different balls. At a distance of 20 cm from the armholes of the sleeves, bind off 20 loops on the left and right sides (see paragraph 5). To get a neat edge on the part, do not tighten the last buttonholes too tight. The width of each shoulder is 9.5 cm.
Step 10
Tie the rest of the jacket, using the finished back of the product as a sample. You will have to close the loops repeatedly. If you need to take out of work a small number of loops (1-3), then see point 3; if it is large (more than 3-4) - see paragraph 5.
Step 11
In the shelves, the loops are reduced for the armholes (as in the back) and the neckline. To deepen the neck of the front, close more loops than you did on the back of the garment. First, remove 18 stitches in the middle, then (through a row) 3, 2 and 2 more times - one loop on each side.
Step 12
Start knitting the sleeves of the sweater with 48 stitches, making 6 rows of garter stitches for the cuffs. Then you need to give the details a wedge-shaped shape. To do this, the fabric from the edges will be added: in every 20th row from the transverse thread between the two initial loops, it is knitted along the loop. When there are 58 loops on the needles, and the sleeve becomes 46 cm long, you need to close the loops again - to round off the part.
Step 13
Remove the loops from both sides of each sleeve in this way: first, 6 loops at once; then - through a row - 2 each; and 3 times in the loop. Then start making decreases in every 4th front row, closing the loop a couple of times. And again through the row: 3 times in the loop; times 2, 3 and 4 loops. The finished round should be 16 cm long, 8 loops will remain on the needles. Close them.
Step 14
Sew all the finished parts of the knitted sweater and type along the neckline of the loop for the collar. Tie a 10 cm wide garter stitch and close the last stitches of the garment.
