How to knit a women's sweater with knitting needles: description, patterns, patterns

A warm sweater, knitted from high-quality yarn, is able to warm and decorate us even on the most cloudy and dank day. Instead of freezing in autumn or winter in huge overalls and countless acrylic vests, it's enough to get one good piece of wool and forget about discomfort.

Why is the quality of the yarn important?

Many beginner knitters who choose material by eye, and not according to the data indicated on the label, make the same common mistake: they buy acrylic. Visually, it can look like cotton, rayon, wool or even mohair. However, this does not change the fact that acrylic is an artificial fiber. He does not possess the properties of those materials that imitate.

Acrylic yarn can be chosen for making products that will not be used frequently (dolls, decor, disposable suits). If you plan to create clothes, you should take care that the thread does not roll down, do not stretch, it does not deform and does not contribute to the appearance of the greenhouse effect.

Knit a women's sweater with acrylic knitting needles - the same as preparing a festive dinner from an instant vermicelli: efforts are spent, and the result is lamentable. One thing is good - money is saved. However, the value of such savings is questionable.

In acrylic clothes it is usually either very hot or cold, it does not let in air and causes unpleasant sensations (especially if it's an imitation of mohair).

Of what, then, knit a woman's sweater with knitting needles?

There is a huge amount of decent yarn for making a variety of clothing items. Their price is determined by the quantity and quality of natural fibers that make up the material.

Among the woolen yarn, the championship is retained for alpaca and merino. These threads are the warmest and the toughest, they can be 100% of yarn or be diluted with cotton, acrylic, viscose, bamboo or nylon.

An excellent warm sweater will come from threads based on sheep's wool. For winter products, you can use a completely woolen thread, and a mixture (at least 50% wool). The thickness of the material can be completely different: from 100 m / 100 g to 400-500 m / 100 g.

If the craftsman plans to knit a women's sweater with spokes with a braid pattern, then the optimal yarn thickness is in the range of 200-350 m / 100 g. For patterns from the front and back hinges, absolutely any thread fits.

Pattern location

The most popular is the classic arrangement of patterns on sweaters: a strip of braids on the details of the transmission and on the sleeves. Enthusiasts also decorate the back of the sweater.

Interesting and unusual look products with non-standard placement of decorative elements. For example, braids that pass from one sleeve to another, as in the photo presented in our article.

Also original looks model with ornament only on the sleeves and on the neck. To emphasize this technique, the craftsman used different types of yarn: for the main details she used a fluffy angorka, and tied braids from three-dimensional wool.

Female sweater with knitting needles with the description: the magnificence of the Arans

In the photo, we also see a sweater in the article, most of which is covered by braids (they are also strands, they are also arans).

Here, and classic braids from a small number of loops, and intricate ornaments of six strands, forming a Celtic weave. Their combination looks extremely organic, so when creating this model, it is better to stick to the specified layout of the elements.

This sweater - youth, female - with spokes is made of yarn with a thickness of about 160-200 m / 100 g. For the product of size 44, it will take at least 500 g.

All the parameters on the patterns that are available in the article are indicated in inches, the figures for the knitting of different sizes are given in parentheses. If there is only one digit, then this parameter is relevant for all sizes.

The diagrams clearly show the direction in which to cross the loop, so there is no need to decode all the icons and symbols. The empty cell is the front loop (L), the cell with the dot is the purl (I).

Each craftswoman will knit a women's sweater with knitting needles from her own yarn with unique parameters (thickness, density, torsion), so there is no point in indicating the density of knitting for the product in the photo. It will not help much, it will only confuse.

Calculation of loops

To determine the density of the binding of the chosen pattern, a knitter should make a small fragment using his material and outline. After it has been washed and dried, you can judge how many loops and rows fall on 10 cm of canvas.

For example, a 10x10 cm square is formed by 22 loops and 18 rows. Based on these data, you should calculate the number of loops for the set edge of the product. For example, to obtain a 44-cm-wide cloth, you need to type 44x22 / 10 = 97 loops (plus 2 edges, total 99 loops).

Knitting details are transferred

Now let's give a sequence of how to knit a women's sweater with knitting needles (with a description for size 46).

Dial 122 loops and execute 3 inches of 1x1 rubber, then follow the specified order. Edge, 2 And, the braid C, 2 I, 1 A, 2 AND, the scheme A, 2 AND, 1 A, 2 AND, the braid C, 2 AND, the small braid B, 2 AND, the scheme B, 2 AND, a small braid A, 2 AND, the braid C, 2 AND, 1 A, 2 AND, the scheme A, 2 AND, 1 A, 2 AND, the braid C, 3 I.

Next, knit by the appropriate schemes, focusing on the dimensions given in the drawings.

In the event that the loops in the pattern are too many for knitting the canvas of the chosen size, the ornament can be cut by removing the extreme elements. The reverse method (the addition of several braids) is achieved by expanding the part. If you want to increase the size can also be due to the implementation of strips with a double pattern.

Back knit with facial smoothness.

Manufacture of sleeves

Collect 60 loops and perform a 2 inch rubber band, then proceed to form a pattern. Edge, 8 loops with a double pattern, 2 AND, a braid C, 2I, 1 A, 2 AND, scheme A, 2 AND, 1L, 2 AND, the braid C, 2 AND, 9 loops with a double pattern.

The expansion of the web is achieved by adding one loop at the beginning and at the end of the row at regular intervals. The number of rows for adding a master must be calculated independently.

Finished parts must be washed in warm water (in any case not in hot, otherwise the wool will shrink), decompose and dry. Then perform side seams and stitch the sleeves.

At the last stage, knot the neck. Hinges for it can be typed from the edges of the parts of the gear and the backrest onto the circular knitting needles or can be knitted separately and sewn with a knitted suture.

Creating women's sweaters with knitting needles, with schemes you can do anything you like. So, if the master does not need such a large number of arans, she can leave only the central large braid, and the rest of the canvas can be tied with a double pattern.
