For many, women's knitted sleeveless jackets are becoming one of the most favorite ways of warming in the cold season. This type of clothing is indispensable if you need to wear a light outfit in winter. The sleeveless jacket is simply removed along with a fur coat or down jacket and left in the wardrobe. Vests can be used in place of a cardigan when it's still too warm to take out jackets.

In addition, women's sleeveless jackets (knitted or crocheted) are simply indispensable for those girls and women who are forced to work in cool rooms.

Be careful, 100% wool

It should be clarified that any knitted clothing will be warm only when made from natural material. Of course, knitted sleeveless jackets for women with knitting needles made of 100% wool will be best for warming. True, they may have some disadvantages:

• Quite a lot of weight. If you use a thin thread, the product will be lighter and still warm.
• Prone to shrinkage. Therefore, such women's knitted sleeveless jackets should only be washed by hand in warm (not hot) water.
• The appearance of pellets. This phenomenon is almost inevitable. Inexpensive wool rolls stronger and faster than high-quality yarn, but in any case, hated balls and fluff will appear sooner or later. This usually occurs in places where the vest comes into contact with other clothing (under the armpits, around the pockets and waistband, if any).

Felting becomes the extreme degree of wool rolling. If you allow the product to be machine washed or often wear it under a sheepskin coat (with a pile inside), you can find the appearance of areas resembling felt. In fact, he is.

Secrets of a warm vest

What to choose for knitting a sleeveless jacket? Wool blend yarn, which contains at least 50% natural fiber, is best suited. The recognized leaders are merino wool and alpaca. Of the simpler types of yarn, sheep's wool is widely used, as well as angora (rabbit down) and mohair (long and soft goat hair).

If necessary, women's knitted sleeveless jackets can be insulated with a padding polyester or fleece lining (you don't even need a machine to sew the latter, you can carefully attach it with a needle manually).

Selection of material

Yarn should be chosen taking into account the specifics of the future product. Simple knitted women's sleeveless jackets can be made from almost any material. However, to form patterns, you will have to work hard:

• A smooth thread is suitable for openworkwith tight twist. Behind down or long mohair, the pattern will not be visible.
• Tows look great when knitted with smooth medium weight yarn (250-400 m/100 grams).
• For jacquards it is necessary to use smooth multi-colored threads of the same thickness. Ideally, it should be the same kind of yarn.

Simple knitted women's sleeveless jacket with knitting needles: diagram, pattern and description

The photo below shows one of the most basic tank tops imaginable.

It can be called a product for beginner knitters. To make such a vest, you will need about 400 grams of yarn of medium thickness (for small or very large sizes, the yarn consumption will be different).

Since there are no decorations (no patterns, no embroidery, no beads), you should choose an interesting and attractive yarn. In addition, you will need to pay attention to the quality of the execution of the main pattern - the front surface. Uneven, twisted, tight or loose loops are not allowed here.

It is interesting that this knitted sleeveless jacket for women with knitting needles (pattern diagrams confirm this) is two rectangles.

Where to start knitting?

First of all, you should determine the density of knitting. This is done by making and measuring a control sample. As a result, it will be known how many loops and rows fall on 10 cm of the fabric in height and width.

Based onof this data, you need to calculate how many loops you need to dial for knitting fabrics. For example, let's take the following numbers: 22 loops are 10 cm wide, and 18 rows are 10 cm high.

So, to start working on the product of the 56th size, you need to dial 123 loops.

The two extremes will be edging, and for the strips connected by a garter stitch, you need to take 7 loops on each side.

First 14cm front and 21cm back should be worked in 2 x 2 Rib. Work order: 8 sts in garter st, 107 sts in rib, 8 sts in garter st.

Next, you need to move on to knitting the main fabric of the details. We get the following algorithm: 8 stitches in garter stitch, 107 in stockinette stitch, again 8 stitches in garter stitch.

Two pieces are knitted separately, stitching the shoulder seams at the end of the work and tying the neck.

Attention! Buttonholes

Slots for fastening buttons are performed only on the front fabric. Their size is calculated based on the diameter of the fittings.

After 2 cm from the end of the elastic band, the following sequence is performed in the manufacture of planks:

• Edge, knit 2 loops, bind off 3, knit 2.
• Work 107 sts.
• Planck at the end of the row: knit 2, cast off 3, knit 3.
• Next row: hem, knit 2, yarn over 3, knit 2.
• Work 107 sts.
• Planck at end of row: knit 2, yarn over 3, knit 3.

Next, yarn overs (which are cast on in the same way as the loops at the beginning of the very first row) are knitted asregular loops in a pattern. The result should be the same number of loops as at the beginning of the row.

After 7-10 cm repeat the algorithm.

In the same way, women's sleeveless jackets are made, knitted on buttons with two shelves.

How to make shoulder bevels and neckline?

If the width of the canvas is 56 cm, the width of the neck is 16 cm (35 loops), then 20 cm will remain on each shoulder (following the example of 44 loops).

When the part is knitted to a sufficient height, you should close the central 23 loops. Further, each shoulder is performed separately:

• Bin off 2 sts from center of fabric, work 98 sts.
• Cast off 10 sts, work 88 sts.
• Cast off 2 sts, work 86.
• In the same way close from the center one more time 2 loops, and from the edge 3 more times 10 loops and once 4 loops.

The second shoulder is performed in the same way.

Finished parts should be sewn, focusing on the picture. On the closed loops of the neck, you need to dial the loops (using a hook or knitting needle). They are put on circular needles and the neck is knitted (from 2 to 18 cm).

If the craftswoman wishes, she can use some pattern instead of the front surface. Such a knitted sleeveless jacket for women with knitting needles (the scheme can be absolutely any) is useful for women of various builds.
