Increasingly, you can see the word "transformer" in stores and fashion magazines. A transformer can be a dress that has many wearing variations, harem pants, a trumpet scarf that turns into a bolero, or a vest. Such things are original and multifunctional. But such clothes can not only be purchased in stores, but also made with your own hands, for example, knitted. Let's take a closer look at how to knit a transforming vest with knitting needles (diagrams and a description are attached).

How to wear?

Why is this vest called a transformer? The fact is that in addition to the usual vest, this thing can be worn in many ways. For example, as a bactus scarf, draped around the neck, or as a shawl, thrown over the shoulders.

Transformer vest (you can see its photo in the article) will look great in several wearing options:

• Like an ordinary long asymmetric vest, without a fastener, with flowing sides.
• Like a cropped tank top when wrapped tightly around the waist and tied in a knot.
• Like an elongated tank top, if you fasten one edge to the opposite shoulder and pin with a brooch.

If you make a model in two colors, then the product can be draped around the face in different shades.

Choice of yarn and tools

From what yarn to knit a transformer vest with knitting needles? Diagrams and descriptions usually recommend a specific yarn for each specific model, but in fact, you can feel free to experiment.

For a winter product, thick woolen yarn is perfect. It is very warm, the thing will look stylish, but then the edges of the vest will not flow as if the product was made of finer yarn. Although there is a way out of this situation: if you prefer bulky yarn, choose knitting needles one or two sizes larger than recommended, then the transforming vest will be not only warm, but soft and airy.

For a stylish accessory for spring and early autumn, thin woolen or denser cotton yarn is suitable. A thread with lurex or small sequins will look very nice. The product can be connected with an openwork pattern, then it can be worn in summer.

Choosing pattern

Such a complex and original thing as a transforming vest knitted with knitting needles does not have to be overloaded with a complex pattern:

1. For thick bulky yarn, especially if it is melange, a garter stitch is perfect - this is when all loops are knitted in each row.
2. A simple pearl knit also looks beautiful. In the first row, alternate one facial and one purl loop, and in the second, knit each facial purl, andvice versa.

These patterns are good because they are double-sided, so no matter how you tie the transformer vest, it will look neat.

If a simple monotonous knitting is not for you, then you can decorate the product with braids, arans or lace. The image shows a diagram of a simple but interesting pattern with weaves. The pattern repeat is seven stitches and twenty-seven rows.

Pattern and description

Let's consider how to knit a scarf-vest (transformer) with knitting needles (diagrams and description will follow). For work, sectional dyeing yarn, consisting of wool, mohair and acrylic or polyester, is suitable (about 400 g in size 36-42). Choose needles recommended by the yarn manufacturer.

Knitted transformer vest with knitting needles (the diagrams and description, as well as the pattern confirm this) is a triangle with slits-armholes in the middle.

1. Start with a set of seven loops.
2. Knit five rows in garter st.
3. From the sixth row, start adding one loop on both sides in every second row. You can work the entire piece in garter stitch or alternate it with stockinette stitch or pearl stitch.
4. Additions can be made from a broach or by knitting two from the edge loop (one behind the back wall, the other behind the front).
5. After 90 cm from the start of work, you need to leave space for armholes. Divide the fabric in half, after 16 cm from the middle, close a few loops for armholes and continueknit in the opposite direction, not forgetting about the additions on one side of the product. Then knit the middle part, and then the third part. Having knitted the armhole height, again work on one canvas. Close the loops after 20-30 cm.
