Master class on knitting a long cardigan with a belt

To execute long cardigan, emphasizing the silhouette, for a woman of size 46-48, take: 1 kg of raspberry yarn “Maqic JAZZ”, knitting needles No. 3 (circular). When knitting a pattern, the thread is taken in two folds. Before starting work, you need to remember what generally accepted abbreviations are used in most knitting patterns. Here they are: r. – row, p. – loop, knit. Ch. – front stitch, purl. Ch. – purl stitch, cf. p. – middle loops, purl. p. – purl loop, knit. p. - front loop. To make a product, proceed according to the following scheme:

  1. Back.
    • We start knitting from this part of the product. Using regular knitting needles, we cast on 160 sts and knit 90 stripes with an “English rib”, which is done like this – purl one, knit one. To denote a knitting pattern in this technique, the following abbreviation is used - 1X1 OR 1/1.
    • In the next one - 91 rubles. we remove 50 loops evenly, leaving 110. We do it like this: we knit every third and fourth loops together.
    • 92-95 rub. will be done with stockinette stitch, and 96-99 r. - purl.
    • We knit the next 30 rows in stockinette stitch. We again repeat the alternation of 4 through 4 (purl and front stitch) - 129-132 r. knit purl Ch., and 133-136 r. – facial. We maintain this alternation order up to row 259, taking into account the knitting of the armhole.
    • Armhole. When you design this fragment for 211 rubles. close 5 sts on both sides (10 sts in total). To do this, in rows 211 and 213, after knitting the first edge loop, we take 3 stitches together once, and in rows 214 and 218. – 2 loops together 4 times in a row.
    • Neck line. At 253 r. We find the middle line, count 22 Wed. loops and begin to decrease them. To do this, in 2 rows, starting from 253 (i.e., in 253 and 255 rubles), we knit symmetrically on both sides, starting from 11 loops in the center, two loops together 4 times. In rows 254 and 256 we knit the central loops two together once.
    • 259 rub. - last. We close its loops. To do this, take two loops at once and knit them together, return the new loop obtained to the first knitting needle, again take it and another loop and knit it together. We follow this order until one loop remains. We pass a thread through it and tie a knot. That's it, the part is ready.
    • We knit the left shoulder in the same way.

  1. Right shelf.
    • We cast on 93 sts and knit 90 r. "English rubber band"
    • Working with 91 rows, cast off 30 stitches evenly – knit every 3rd and 4th stitch together.
    • In row 92, the far left. 10 loops will be knitted with a 1/1 elastic band, we knit the next 53 loops, alternating 4 knits. p. and 4 p.
    • Starting from the 93rd r., 30 rows we use only the front stitch, from 123 r. again alternating 4 by 4 (purl, knit stitch).
  2. Armhole. The procedure for working on this part of the right front is similar to knitting the back. At 211 r. close 5 loops on each side of the product (10 stitches in total). To do this, we knit them in rows 211 and 213 after the first edge loop (we take 3 stitches together once), and in rows 214 and 218. two loops together 4 times in a row.
  3. Neck. This part is knitted at 247 rubles. We remove 16 stitches from the left. Starting from 247, we take 2 loops together 4 times in a row (in rows 247 and 249). Row 248 and knit 250-258. Ch. 259 rub. – we finish knitting the part by closing the loops.
  4. Right sleeve. We string 75 p. and knit 35 r. "English rubber band" 36 rub. – remove 22 stitches evenly, knitting two stitches together every 3-4 stitches. 37-40 rub. – facial smooth surface, 41-44 r. - purl, so we alternate up to 113 rubles. For 49 rub. We expand the fabric by adding 1 loop 7 times in all 8 rows. To do this, we make a yarn over. We get 69 sts and knit knits. Ch. up to 163 rub.
  5. Starting from 163 rubles, in order to design the cuff line of the sleeve, we close three stitches on both sides of the front, knitting them together. Then in each even row (164,166,168, etc.) we decrease 2 stitches in two rows, 1 stitch in 9 rows, 3 loops once. You should get 23 p. Finish knitting the part 193 p., close it off.

Three-color cardigan in the style of Lalo Dolidze – gradient of braids

For the lalo model, Alize Lanagold 800 threads are used, which contain 49% wool. For a jacket of size 44 you will need: 16 skeins of 100 g each in three shades (6/5/5), two pairs of knitting needles No. 5, length 60, 80 cm, 3 mm 40 cm (circular), holders for loops. The description will use generally accepted abbreviations used in most knitting magazines: p. – row, p. – loop, knit. ch. – front surface, purl. Ch. – purl stitch, cf. p. – middle loops, purl. p. – purl loop, knit. p. – front loop, chrome. – edge loop, nech.r. - odd row. Procedure for creating a product:

  1. The main fabric, including the front and back.
    • We cast on 228 p., take the thread in three additions. 2 r. we double the number of loops, to do this, after each simple loop we make a yarn over (take the thread in the form of a loop, throw it on the second knitting needle with knitted loops). This technique will add volume to the product and help round off the bottom.
    • The third row is done like this: 1 edge, 2 purls, 30 knits. We maintain this order until the end of the row; we knit the remaining three loops like this: k2, 1 chrome.
  2. Knitting braids
    • The entire jacket represents the presence of large braids. One such braid contains 30 loops. There should be 14 such patterns in total. From the 4th row we begin knitting braids by crossing 15X15 loops. To complete it, remove 15 stitches onto a spare needle, move them behind the work and knit the next 15 stitches. We pull the working knitting needle forward and leave the already knitted loops on the fishing line, then the knitting needle remains free.
    • Then we take an additional knitting needle in our left hand and perform it with the help of the working one - 15 knits. p. and 2 p. Again we remove 15 stitches onto a separate knitting needle and send them to work. We knit 15 loops. ch., pull through the working knitting needle. Having freed it from the loops (by displacing them onto the fishing line), we knit 15 faces. p. from an additional knitting needle. We continue until the end of the row. We knit the next purl row in the same way. This type of knitting will ensure crossover. The crossing must be repeated after 28 rows. The result will be 14 braids: three for the shelves, one for the armholes and 6 pieces. - on the back.

  1. Armhole.
    • The armhole edge is smaller than the back by 10 stitches and larger than the front by 20 stitches. Along the edge from the back, you will have to decrease one loop in all odd rows, knitting 2 loops together. Along the edge from the front we will close 10 stitches at once; to do this, you need to decrease 3, 3, 2, 2 loops alternately in odd rows. It turns out that 30 stitches of one braid will go to the armhole hem. First one shelf is knitted, then the second. We keep the height of the armhole edging at 18 cm.
    • Next, we close the loops from the 2nd and 3rd braids (this will be the shoulder), but we still have to knit 1 braid 10 cm, which will go to the collar. Then we close the loops here too. Let's return to the back roll. Here we reduce the number of loops one at a time in all stitches. R. As a result, the height of the edging of the back part of the product will coincide with the height of the edging of the armhole along the front.
  2. Sleeve.
    • We do it from bottom to top. We cast on 50 stitches in the second row, by yarn over we increase one loop after each loop, we get 100 stitches. We continue to knit braids, as on the main fabric. You can add 10 purls in each to increase the volume. R. one loop at a time. We knit all additional loops with knit stitches. We direct the braids on the left sleeve to the right side, on the other - vice versa.
    • Let's start rolling along the sleeve. The 10 loops added earlier will have to be removed. However, the hem along the back is flat, so you will have to remove 1 stitch in each purl row. On the front it is much deeper, so you need to close 7 loops at once, and then 3 times in each purl. R. 1 p. We finish knitting the sleeves by decreasing the number of loops on both sides in this order: 3, 5, 10 loops. Cast off all remaining loops.
  3. Connecting parts. The cardigan was knitted entirely at once, so all that remains is to sew the sleeves, the center of the collar, the collar itself to the back and sew the shoulder seams on top.

How to choose the right yarn and knitting needles

Cardigans are knitted using machines and by hand. In the latter case, the choice of knitting needles becomes especially important. There is an opinion that their thickness should be 2 times the yarn. The most popular knitting needles for knitting cardigans are No. 3, 4 and 5. The number indicates their thickness. Knitting needles vary in material: aluminum, steel, plastic, bamboo. They are also classified by type: open, closed (there is a limiter at the end) and circular (connected with a tourniquet).

Now there are a huge number of yarn options. The result of all work depends on her choice. Some contain 100% natural threads (chinchilla, cotton, angora), others are supplemented with synthetic threads (melange, Pingouin Familia, Alize Lanagold 800). It is important to take into account the thickness of the fibers, structure, length in the skein, and the presence of color effects. To make warm clothes, it is better to take mohair, angora, alpaca (natural goat and rabbit wool). Products made from them are warm, soft, and light. Let's look at a few of the most popular types of yarn:

  • Wool is fiber made from the hair of animals (camels, dogs, sheep, rabbits). It varies in thickness, strength and fiber length. The most durable wool is camel wool. The general qualities of this material include softness, high thermal insulation, and hygroscopicity. The disadvantage of wool is the formation of pellets on things.
  • Acrylic is a synthetic material. In its qualities it resembles wool, and is resistant to weak alkalis, acids, and sunlight. Can be painted well. Acrylic clothing is not eaten by moths, it does not stretch or shrink. Used as an improver of the properties of natural yarn.
  • Mohair is considered one of the warmest types of yarn. It is the wool of Angora goats. The best mohair comes from cutting kids. It is used in the form of a mixture with synthetic fibers, due to the fact that pure mohair cannot form a thread and breaks down into fibers.

Cardigan Flower. Work of Hope

For a plump woman, it’s difficult to choose clothes of the “something acceptable” type - this makes her look fat, this is too small, she doesn’t like this color. In this case, knitted items always come to the rescue. If you create them yourself, you can choose a suitable model that can hide some flaws and highlight the advantages of a large woman. Cardigan knitted for overweight women is the perfect option to show off her attractiveness. In addition, you don’t often see a similar model in branded clothing stores - knitted cardigans are not popular among fashion designers, but women have a different opinion, considering this item the most comfortable to wear in the mid-season period and on cool summer evenings.

A plus-size woman can look more attractive if she chooses the right clothing model and pattern for her cardigan. As a rule, tight or fitted clothes do not look fat. It is worth paying attention to long and loose styles without bulky fittings. The most ideal for curvy ladies are classic clothing options.

The large size requires you to carefully choose the type of yarn and knitting needle size. The texture of the item knitted for a full lady depends on this. A more textured item will make a plump woman visually even more magnificent. A suitable yarn for knitting is one that is smooth, elastic and flowy. You should not use huge relief drawings when knitting parts. A small pattern can be placed on an accessory: a scarf or handbag. In no case should you put large patch pockets and shoulder pads on a cardigan - this will make the figure of a large woman comparatively fuller.

For overweight ladies, color choice is also important. knitted items. Priority should be given to dark, rich tones - they will make a woman slimmer and taller. Warm tones can be used, but extremely rarely - they will emphasize and highlight extra pounds in the figure. You should also be careful when combining colors in one product; too many shades can spoil the overall impression. An acceptable option is a combination of no more than three tones.

Openwork patterns should be selected carefully - these motifs can form “hills” when draped over the torso. Large motifs, patterns with geometric overtones and horizontal stripes visually increase the parameters.

Cardigans with a low waist are suitable for a full figure, and the length should not coincide with the fullest part of the figure. To avoid this, you should make the item a little longer - it is advisable to completely cover your hips. At the same time, you will become visually taller. You can hide your full breasts with a cape-shaped neckline or large vertical relief patterns at the top of the product.

As a result, it turns out that for overweight women, yarn of a dark shade of medium thickness is chosen. A simple pattern is chosen for knitting, which significantly simplifies the technique. A cardigan is a jacket that is nice to throw over your shoulders in cool weather and on Evening Dress while at the reception. To make it, yarn of any composition is taken, but always thin. This is especially true for curvy women.

Classic style cardigan

For this model, tape-type nylon threads are used. The product is made using a simple relief pattern - its repeat is only 2 rows. The knitting technology is as follows: the front panels and the back yoke are knitted together. Classic style The product is designed for both plump and slender women. The update can be safely worn with classic trousers or a skirt.

It is necessary to purchase yarn in the quantity for which size the model is designed. If you take 100% nylon, a 50 g skein of which has 110 meters, then approximately 14-16 skeins will be required. Circular knitting needles with a thickness of 5 mm are also required.

Description

The bust size should be taken as a basis. In the presented example, we will consider a chest volume of 110 cm, and the length of the product will be 51 cm. The main pattern in this model is the following pattern:

First row: front side - remove the edge, front, and from the next loop the rapport begins, including - purl, front - knit the entire row in this way. Purl the last stitch so that the edge is even.

Second row: slip the first stitch, purl the rest.

From the third row, repeat from the beginning and so knit the entire product. The result is a simple but quite interesting canvas.

Back

Cast on 115 stitches and work 5 cm with the main pattern. The last row should be purl. In the next row, decrease one stitch on both sides. Then make 4 more such decreases at a distance of 6 cm, so that 105 loops remain on the knitting needle, and the length of the back becomes 32.5 cm. In the next two rows, starting from the wrong side, you need to make notches for the sleeves. Why do you need to cast off 8 stitches at the beginning of the row? Then decrease one loop on both sides 11 more times, so that 67 loops remain. Continue knitting the remaining stitches to a height of 16 cm and bind them off from the wrong side.

Shelves and back yoke

Left shelf. Cast on 89 stitches on the knitting needles using any usual method and knit with a main stitch of 5 cm. At the beginning of the row, decrease by one loop, then 3 more times at a distance of 9 cm. There should be 85 loops left on the knitting needle. Having knitted 32.5 cm, at the beginning of the front row, close 8 pieces at once to cut out the sleeves. Then do the same as for the back, that is, decrease a loop 11 times in each front row, so that 66 loops remain. Tie to the height of the neckline in the same way as in the back, and mark with another thread. Next, knit with the addition of loops in the following order: one loop in each front row, do this 5 times so that 76 loops remain on the knitting needle. Mark in the final row with another yarn.

Back yoke. Knit a yoke from the last mark to a height of 35 cm and also mark with another thread. Knit the right front, continuing to do this, symmetrically to the first, starting with decreasing 5 loops in each front row.

Sleeves

Cast on 39 stitches on a knitting needle and knit 2.5 cm with the main pattern. Then, from the front side, start adding one piece at a time on both sides. Increase every 2 cm 13 times for a total of 67 stitches on the knitting needle. Having completed the sleeve to a height of 45 cm, begin knitting the head of the sleeve. Starting from the wrong side, in the next two rows bind off 8 loops on both sides, and then remove one piece on both sides in each 4 row 4 times, then in each front row 6 times, and then in each row 4 times. There should be 23 loops left on the knitting needle - bind off all of them at once.

Assembly

Sew the back to its yoke using any seam, between the two marks. Then sew in the sleeves and sew the side seams - on the overall product and on the sleeves.

It gives slimness and hides all the “extra” roundness in the figure. It would be good for every woman to have such an update in her wardrobe - the cardigan is suitable for all styles of clothing (businesslike and romantic).

The presented cardigan model is made without fasteners - in the example we will consider size 50-52. The technique of knitting the product is presented from top to bottom on circular knitting needles without seams. The sleeves are also knitted from top to bottom without seams.

Rib 1x1: knit and purl stitches are knitted alternately.

Knit stitch: knit one row, purl the next.

Facial surface in circular rows Knitted only in knit stitch in the round.

Garter stitch: knit and purl rows are made with knit stitches.

Pattern “braids and slipped loops”: consists of 22 loops, do as shown in diagram No. 1. Knit the wrong side according to the pattern. Repeat rapport from rows 1 to 4. Please note: the pattern is given for the left shelf; on the right shelf, knit a pattern symmetrical to this - cross 4 loops not to the left, but to the right.

“Skapped loops” pattern: make from 7 loops according to pattern No. 2. Knit by repeating 1-2 rows. Schemes with symbols are presented below.

Back and shelves

On circular knitting needles No. 3.5, cast on 80 stitches and knit in the following way: remove the edge stitch, knit 6 loops with garter stitch (this will be the right front panel), 66 loops with 1x1 rib (this will be the neckline) and 6 pieces with garter stitch (left front panel) , the last one will be edge. So knit 4 cm, this will be the neckline.

Then, on the front side, distribute all the loops as follows: edge stitch, 6 stitches for knitting the placket, 8 stitches in stockinette stitch (left front), purl (will imitate a raglan seam), 12 stitches in stockinette stitch (these are sleeve loops), purl (imitation seam) , 22 back loops, purl, 12 right sleeve stitches in satin stitch, purl, 8 stitches in satin stitch - these are right front loops, 6 garter stitch placket and edge stitch.

Attention! For convenience, you can separate sections using plastic loops or a contrasting thread in the chosen shade for knitting a cardigan.

Knit the reverse row according to the given sequence. The next front row is also knitted according to the given principle, but you must start from the raglan line. To do this, add one loop before and after the purl loop, which imitates a seam. 8 stitches should be added per row. Make the addition only on the front side - knit in the presented manner until the length of the raglan seam reaches 31 cm.

  1. After the front row with an increase in stitches, knit back to the middle of the right sleeve (6 pieces) and turn the product.
  2. Knit the next row from the front side to the center of the left sleeve and turn the work again. On the front side, do not forget to make additions to form a raglan seam.
  3. Knit the next purl row to the center of the right sleeve and add 3 more stitches, turn back.
  4. From the front side of the next row, go to the center of the left sleeve and add 3 more pieces to them, turn back.
  5. From the wrong side, knit to the center of the right sleeve and add 3 more loops to 9, only then turn back. Here also knit to the middle of the left sleeve and add 3 more pieces to 9.

After this, put all the loops into operation. Having knitted 5 cm from the neckline, begin to make “braids and slipped loops” patterns. Knit the pattern maintaining symmetry on both strips. Carry out the work until you get 31 cm in the raglan seam and you can make armholes for the sleeves.

From the front side cardigan, knit the loops of the right front, remove all the sleeve loops on an auxiliary knitting needle, cast on 9 pieces on circular knitting needles, knit the back loops, remove the sleeve loops, cast on 9 loops again and knit the remaining loops of the left front.

On the back side work according to the pattern, knit 5 of the cast-on stitches in all purl rows - it will imitate the side seams. Following the given algorithm, knit 42 cm, not forgetting to make patterns and a shelf. Having reached the last row, decrease 20 stitches evenly across the entire width of the product. Then make a plank with a 1x1 elastic band for a length of 6 cm.

Sleeves

Slip the sleeve stitches onto short circular needles and add 9 new ones. Knit rows in the round, highlighting the fifth loop, which acts as a seam. To make bevels, you need to decrease a loop 17 times in every fifth row. Having knitted 25 cm in this way, start making a “skimmed loops” pattern in the center of the sleeve according to pattern No. 2 - it should be 19 cm long. When the length of the sleeve from the cast-on 9 loops becomes 44 cm, switch to a 1x1 elastic band and make it 7 cm. All loops close and knit the second sleeve in the same way.

Cardigan This is a knitted wool jacket, tailored to the figure, without a collar, with buttons, with a deep neckline.

As we see, in the world of needlework, sometimes we can safely apply the term coat to a cardigan, and vice versa, when it comes to a collar, or rather the absence of one. On the other hand, is it so important what we call this irreplaceable part of the wardrobe?

Knitted coat has become a part of our lives, and recently it has become very stylish and fashionable. It is much more pleasant to walk in something original, rather than bought in a store and often found on the streets of the city.

A coat knitted from thin threads gives its elegance in the warm season. Oh! this tenderness and airiness, pay attention to the thin mohair! After all, this is a fairy tale, the mohair cardigan flows, it’s airy, and you definitely won’t go unnoticed.

Are the days cold? A cardigan is indispensable here knitted with braids, weaves, or even textured knit and purl patterns.
