Every year knitting becomes more and more popular. People want to stand out, but the goods from the store do not allow. Therefore, in the article we present step-by-step instructions for making knitted sweaters with our own hands.

A few words about the preparatory phase

Before you start knitting, you need to choose the style of the product and the pattern for it. After that, buy yarn. It should be chosen according to your taste. But it is important to consider that gradient, motley and other threads are not suitable for a patterned and openwork pattern. If the jacket is knitted for a child, it is wiser to use special yarn that does not cause allergies. The tool, in this case the knitting needles, is preferable to choose metal ones. The main thing is that they have a well-turned tip. Then they will not cling to the yarn and scratch your fingers, provide the necessary glide and help you make a knitted sweater quickly and efficiently.

Measuring technology

Any piece of clothing must meet certain sizes. To correctly identify them, you will need to prepare an elastic centimeter, a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. After thatthe person to whom the products are knitted will have to expose the upper body to the underwear. Next, the knitter proceeds to measure the following body parts:

• shoulder width - A;
• neck width - B;
• sleeve length from the tip of the shoulder to the bottom edge - B;
• chest circumference - G;
• armhole depth (from the armpit to the bottom edge of the sleeve) - D;
• armhole height (from the bottom edge of the jacket to the armpit) - E;
• product length (from the base of the neck to the bottom edge of the product) - F;
• girth of the widest part of the arm - Z.

If the knitted sweater is fitted, you should also determine the waist circumference. If desired, you can measure the level of the gate. Especially on the front of the product.

Why is the pattern important?

Beginner knitters, having de alt with the preparatory stage, immediately start knitting. However, professionals note that it is first necessary to make a fragment of the pattern. This will help to calculate the number of loops and rows. After all, it is extremely inconvenient to make a knitted sweater, constantly applying it to the model or measuring it with a centimeter. Therefore, we take prepared knitting needles and yarn, study the selected pattern and knit a sample about 10x10 centimeters in size. After that, we count the number of loops and rows in it. We divide the notation by ten. And we get two important parameters:

• P - number of loops;
• P - number of rows.

The designation is calculated for one centimeter. And thanks to them we will be able to knit a product thatFits true to size.

Calculate the number of stitches to cast on

To cast on stitches to make any product, for example, a knitted sweater, you need to know exactly how many stitches you need. Beginners very often "wind" an arbitrary number of loops on the knitting needles, measure them, and then compare them with the required value. However, in the process of knitting, the product narrows or, conversely, stretches. Therefore, the calculation is often inaccurate.

To prevent this, you should turn to mathematics:

1. If you want to make products consisting of a back and a front, you need to divide the G parameter by two, and then multiply by the P parameter.
2. To make a seamless sweater - multiply the parameters P and D. It is important to note that this option is knitted in a circle on four knitting needles.

Determine the level of the armhole and waist

There are a large number of models of knitted sweaters. In most of them, the hand holes are designed in the form of a neat arc. But in order to correctly determine the moment of the beginning of this part, we should again turn to mathematics and multiply the parameters P and E. This is how we find out how many rows we need to knit until we have to make an armhole.

It is also worth noting that manufacturers often offer customers fitted products or decorated with peplum. To do this at home, it is extremely important to correctly determine the level of the waist. To do this, take a centimeter and measure the distance from the intended lower edge of your idea to the waist. We must write down the value, and then translate it into series: we multiply it by the parameter P. Thus, we get the answer to the question of interest.

Knit armhole

In the current paragraph, we will analyze one of the most difficult stages of describing a knitted sweater with knitting needles. After all, it causes difficulties not only for beginners, but also for many professionals. And all because it is not always possible to arrange a beautiful armhole the first time. And even from the fifth attempt, the detail comes out somehow awkward and crooked.

To help the reader cope with the task, we suggest studying the instructions:

1. First of all, we calculate the number of loops that we can use to knit armholes. If we knit the back and front separately, subtract parameter A from the current number of loops. However, the final number combines the loops of the two armholes. Therefore, we divide it into two, and then separate it along the edges of the canvas. Another thing is if the knitter performs a seamless product. In this case, the final number remains unchanged, because the armhole covers both the front and the back.
2. Having de alt with the calculations, let's get creative. In a seamless knitted sweater for a woman, a man or a child in the middle of the armhole, close the fourth part from the "extra" number of loops. When performing the front and back, we divide this number by two and reduce the "unnecessary" loops on each side.
3. In the next two rows, bind off three more loops on each side.
4. Then we decrease three rows by two loops.
5. And in the rest, except for the last three, one by one. Product lengthdefine as follows: multiply the parameters R and W.
6. After that, we add one loop in each next row. Three new ones in total.

Finishing the gate

When making a knitted sweater with knitting needles, as well as crochet, it is important to take care of the gate line. To correctly design this part of the sweater, you need to determine how many loops you need for it. To do this, you will again have to turn to mathematics: multiply the parameters P and B. After that, decide on the shape of this part. Traditionally, sweatshirts are decorated with a round and v-neck. In modern models, there is also a square, and in some original copies even wavy.

Professional knitters note that the square is the easiest to do. Products are simply knitted to the desired level, the loops for the gate are transferred to an additional knitting needle and two straps are completed separately. If this option seems uninteresting, you can make a v-shaped. To do this, we determine the point of the lower edge and measure the distance from it to the base of the neck. We calculate the number of loops for the gate and rows - to decrease them. After evenly close the "unnecessary" as knitting.

The round gate is performed a little differently:

1. The whole process begins twelve rows before the end of the piece.
2. First of all, the knitter marks the loops reserved for this part with colored thread.
3. Then knit two straps separately.
4. In the middle we close twelve loops.
5. In the next rows two times - five,then four, three, two.
6. In the last rows, the loops decrease one by one.

The provided description for a knitted sweater will help you decorate the front collar. On the back, it is performed in the same way, but it starts a little later - seven rows to the end: first twelve loops, then one time five, four, three, two and the remaining one in each row.

Knit sleeves

Each knitter determines the length of this part independently. Manufacturers offer elegant lace blouses with "wings", and warm winter ones with wide and long sleeves. When choosing your option, it is necessary to take into account the purpose and season of wearing the product. Now young people often wear thick sweaters made of woolen threads instead of jackets in autumn. At the same time, they look very original, stylish and fashionable.

Having decided on the option of sleeves, we proceed to execution:

1. Cast on the required number of loops. To find out their number, multiply the parameters P and Z.
2. Then it is desirable to knit a few rows with an elastic band, and then move on to the pattern.
3. Through the required number of rows, multiply parameter P by parameter D. We begin to knit the upper edge of the sleeve. At the same time, we focus on the technology described for the armhole. But at the end it is important to leave six loops.
4. The length of the product is determined as follows: multiply the parameters P and B.

T-shirt

The knitted sweater shown in the photo looks very original. To complete it, you need:

1. Calculate the number of stitches needed for the front piece.
2. Then knit in a flat fabric to waist level.
3. Add on both sides the number of loops equal to the length of the sleeve.
4. Knit the product to the shoulders.
5. In the middle, close the loops reserved for the gate.
6. And immediately restore them in the next row.
7. Knit the sleeves to the waist and close the loops by going to the back.
8. Finish back.
9. Sew along the side seams. If desired, add a collar and sleeves with cuffs.

Jacket with round yoke

Another original knitted sweater for a woman with knitting needles knits quite easily. And then we will talk about it in detail.

1. First of all, you need to measure the girth of the upper body in the shoulders. And multiply the resulting value by the parameter P.
2. Also determine the distance from the expected level of the gate to the point at which we measured the shoulders. Multiply this number by parameter P.
3. Now we take hosiery knitting needles and dial the number of loops for the collar, focusing on the wishes of the customer.
4. After that, we divide the parameter obtained in the first paragraph of the current instruction by the one calculated in the second one.
5. As a result, we will find out how many loops we need to add in each row in order to expand the product to the desired size.
6. Knit a jacket, moving in a circle.
7. Having reached the desired level, we knit a few more rows to the level of the armpit.
8. After that, we separatesleeve loops on the sides.
9. Adding new loops for armholes.
10. And we knit the main part of the product with an even cloth, moving in a circle.
11. Having reached the desired length, close the loops.
12. Tie up the sleeves.

Most people strive to stand out, show their character, show their personality through clothing. A thing made according to one's own idea will help to achieve this.
