Things made from yarn have always been the best clothing option for the cold season, because they warm the body so well. Today they can also become a stylish element of the image. Let's take, for example, fashionable models of knitted women's sweaters.

This season they amaze with their volume and on girls they look as if they are knitted several sizes too large. But this is precisely where their special charm lies, because in this, albeit shapeless, image, the girls look stylish, harmonious, feminine and, most importantly, very seductive.

Advantages

The main advantage of a knitted sweater is that it suits absolutely all women, without exception, whether they are plump or thin, tall or petite, very young or already at an advanced age. And although you sometimes have to work hard to select the right model, if you get one hundred percent into the look, the sweater becomes a stylish and comfortable element of clothing that can be worn in the cool season, in the rainy season, and in completely frosty weather.

Another important advantage is originality. If a girl has handicraft skills, she can create for herself the kind of sweater she wants. By combining elements of various patterns and yarns of different textures, a young lady can show her extraordinary vision of style and definitely stand out from the crowd.

A knitted sweater goes well with any elements of your winter wardrobe, be it trousers, jeans, skirts or simple high boots, so you can play with your own look as soon as you wish.

Beautiful models

Fashion designers never tire of surprising young ladies with their own vision of the beauty of knitted items, and truly stylish ladies accept this vision. 2016 – 2017 is the era of oversize, so everything related to knitting simply must be voluminous, or slightly loose. So, feel free to take out old stretched sweaters from the closets and if they look decent and fit a little casually, this is the squeak of fashion.

If you don’t have any old sweaters in your wardrobe, we buy new ones, not forgetting to focus on the current fashion trends.

Large knit

Sweaters with voluminous textured patterns that are combined with each other to create an original effect are at the peak of popularity. They are often complemented by wide patch pockets, giving the product more volume.

Off-the-shoulder sweaters combined with a large pattern look casual but stylish. The armholes on such sweaters are usually slightly lowered and this is what is most appropriate in this case. This model is suitable only for thin people.

Coarse knit

Such sweaters are always knitted from thick yarn and look very original. Sometimes it feels like the patterns on them exist separately, they are so voluminous.

Coarse knit sweaters can be complemented with wide stand-up collars, narrow cuffs that stand out significantly against the background of flared sleeves, or collar necks. It’s interesting that the more intricate the pattern, the more unusual the sweater looks. It is suitable only for people who are too thin.

thick knit

Another type of voluminous sweater, which differs in that the patterns on it are always large and wide. Unlike the previous model, the patterns on a thick knit sweater may not be overly voluminous, but they always stand out against the general background of the sweater. Such sweaters are rarely loaded with additional elements such as buttons, but if they are present, they must be massive and voluminous.

Such sweaters are often worn naked, but there are also those that go perfectly with blouses. Some models of such blouses can be worn even by young ladies of average build.

Raglan

Raglan sweaters are in fashion now because they add a certain carelessness to the model and the overall image. The sleeve opening on such sweaters always falls off the shoulder, but in combination with the overall volume of the sweater it looks very good.

The image begins to be associated with relaxation and calm, which is why such sweaters are often chosen for everyday looka. The neckline on such sweaters can be round, V-shaped or completely closed. This model is suitable for a girl of any build.

For full

Overweight girls should not wear voluminous sweaters with textured patterns, but this does not mean that chubby girls cannot look fashionable this season. Loose-fitting sweaters with a small pattern are just perfect.

If the sweater is slightly flared from the chest, it will help hide a noticeable tummy, and elongated models to the middle of the thigh will hide the volume in the lower part of the silhouette. Women with full arms are better off avoiding models with bat sleeves, but models with sleeves flaring from the elbow can be a good option. Too voluminous breasts can be hidden behind a V-shaped neckline.

Free

It is also an “oversize” sweater - a real hit of the season and a godsend for lovers of comfort. This jacket does not restrict movement at all, and gives the image airiness and romance. It can be lengthened or shortened, but if it is not supplemented with an elastic band at the bottom, it may have an asymmetrical edge.

The original solution for such a model is a slightly tight sweater with excessively loose sleeves and vice versa. If you like the “oversize” style, please note that clothes should be at least 2-3 sizes larger than suitable.

With a zipper

Such sweaters are rarely too loose, because the fastener itself does not imply this. Often, such sweaters serve as additional insulation and are worn over turtlenecks and T-shirts in windy or cold weather.

Perfectly combined with a sporty style and suitable for an everyday look. Quite often there are very elongated models of knitted sweaters with a zipper, but without sleeves. Knitted zip-up sweaters with ¾ flared sleeves are the trend of this season.

With a collar

Knitted sweaters with large and wide collars – transformable ones – are now considered incredibly fashionable. Such a collar can be completely turned away and used as a headdress, or it can be folded around the neck like a collar.

A rather interesting and popular solution could be to pull such a collar over the shoulders to expose them. Thus, the same sweater can look completely different, depending on how this collar is used. Often a snake is also sewn onto such collars, so that by unfastening it you can completely change its usual shape.

With a throat

The classic version of a warm knitted sweater is a turtleneck sweater. In this case, the neckline can be different - single or double, with or without a lapel, reaching the chin or only slightly covering the neck.

There are also models with a wide or very narrow collar. Such sweaters are always worn on a naked body. This particular model is ideal for an everyday look.

English rubber band

A sweater in which the front and back stitches are alternately knitted looks restrained and laconic. Nowadays it is fashionable to knit elongated sleeves in such models. A loose fit is welcome this season, so the “English elastic” can be easily adjusted to fit the oversized parameters.

Often, only the cuffs, trims and necklines on the sleeves are knitted with this kind of knitting, and the remaining parts of the sweater are complemented with more original patterns. It is worth considering that even such a knitting can be made very unusual and fashionable, you just need to take larger knitting needles and thick yarn.

With round yoke

A very unusual model, which has a round neck. Often unusual patterns are knitted around the collar area to draw maximum attention to this area. Sometimes the resulting pattern creates a pleated effect, making the sweater model very feminine. Such models can be knitted either from warm yarn or from lighter yarn and can be worn in the warm season. Such necklines look great if they are crocheted.

With bat sleeve

This sweater is now at the peak of popularity, because it fits perfectly into the oversized parameters. A jacket with wide sleeves will help hide excessive thinness of the arms, but overweight people should not choose such a model.

The sleeve in this case can be very long and flared or reach the elbow. There are also models with 3/4 sleeves, which are complemented by elastic cuffs. Often such sweaters are worn over light knee socks and mesh sweaters.

Patterns and drawings

This season, it's fashionable to decorate knitted sweaters with abstract and floral patterns. Geometric motifs and ethnic designs are also in trend, but only if they are bright and colorful. Lovers of sea motifs, your time has come, because sweaters with anchors, shells and stripes are at the peak of popularity. Cartoon images in the form of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck can now decorate not only children's sweaters, but also teenagers' sweaters. Those who prefer to knit a sweater themselves can adopt several mega popular patterns today.

With braids

The braid pattern can be called timeless, because it seems that it will never go out of fashion. Braids can be wide or narrow, intertwined with each other or other patterns, but they are always a decoration for a knitted product. This season, it is fashionable to knit wide braids, so that they are textured and add additional volume to the sweater. The most popular patterns are the twelve-loop braid, the shadow braid, and the Lalo-style royal braid. Asymmetrical braid and spikelet pattern are also at the peak of popularity.

With diagonal braids

This pattern is often called an aran and consists of several braids intertwined together. Sometimes diagonal braids can become the central decoration of a sweater and stand out very much against the background of another, less textured pattern. A rather interesting solution is to knit several versions of a volumetric braid diagonally at once and gradually connect them together.

You can decorate only the sleeves of a sweater with diagonal braids, and knit the remaining parts with a simpler pattern, say, with an elastic band. But most advantageously, diagonal braids look on the front of the sweater, because such beauty should be noticeable.

With deer

A funny, but very stylish print has not gone out of fashion for several seasons in a row. Deer have literally taken over knitted items this season, so if you don’t already have a sweater with a deer, hurry up and buy it and join the fashionable society. Deer on sweaters can be cartoon or running, and can also be complemented with other winter designs, such as snowflakes or Christmas trees. Quite often, a voluminous pompom in the shape of a red nose is sewn onto a knitted portrait of a deer; it looks very cute and unexpected.

Leaf pattern

Knitting leaves on sweaters is now as fashionable as braids. They can have completely different shapes, both natural and completely outlandish. Quite often, the leaves are supplemented with braids, which ultimately act as branches from the tree trunk. On the same trees with leaves they can knit “cones” that are somewhat reminiscent of berries or fruits. Simply put, this pattern allows you to show your imagination to the maximum.

Current colors and prints

If last season animal print lost momentum a little, then this season it is gaining popularity again. So you can safely knit the outlines of pandas, wolves, lions, tigers, foxes and bears on knitted sweaters. The leopard color will take on a rather unusual look in a knitted version, but this particular look is extremely fashionable and emphasizes originality. Quite extraordinary individuals can safely choose sweater models with images of skulls - they are trendy nowadays. What about the color scheme?

Black

Timeless classics are always relevant and suitable for any occasion. A black sweater is good because it is completely non-staining, and this is an important characteristic for warm clothing. In addition, it does not make your figure look fat at all, so even a rather voluminous model in this color will not make your figure shapeless. And this color goes well with absolutely all elements of your wardrobe, so you don’t have to worry about style for a long time. And if you want to dilute the dark palette, you can always choose such a model, but with a contrasting print, say, white.

Blue

A sweater in the color of purity and nobility will definitely brighten up gray winter days. The good thing about blue color is that it has a rich palette of shades and all of them can be used to create your favorite sweater. The color of aqua or azure is pleasing to the eye and has a calming effect, while heavenly and light cornflower blue will remind you of warm summer days. You can also opt for a darker color scheme - denim, azure blue and cobalt colors are also in trend.

Two-color

The combination of black and white is unlikely to surprise anyone, but it is the one that is classic. Nowadays there are quite unusual combinations - pink and gray, blue and yellow, purple and orange, lilac and cornflower blue, light green and gray. The most popular model now is the half-sweater model, when one part is knitted in one color and the other in another. It’s interesting that the color transition can be either horizontal or vertical.

Grey

A gray shade does not always mean nondescript, and this season's fashionable knitted sweaters fully confirm this. A jacket in steel and silver tones will definitely make you stand out from the crowd if you pair it with a green scarf and burgundy trousers. It is better to combine a mother-of-pearl sweater with black wardrobe elements, and a pewter sweater with pink ones. A gray sweater will look great with regular jeans, as well as other types of blue clothing.

Striped

One of the most versatile prints is stripes. It can make an image romantic and cheerful if it combines bright and colorful colors, or fill it with efficiency and restraint if created in discreet colors. This season, white-blue, pink-gray, blue-green and sand-white stripes have gained the most popularity.

Burgundy

Red color is incredibly popular now, and its dark brother in the form of a burgundy shade is the best solution for this winter. A burgundy knit sweater pairs well with other trendy colors including white, grey, black, blue and pink. The most fashionable combination this winter is burgundy and sand.

White

Not the best option for the winter period, but if you want to add solemnity and romance to your look, a white knitted sweater is just what you need. Despite its soiling, a white sweater has one valuable advantage - it goes well with all elements of clothing. This season, sweaters of this color are chosen when they have a fluffy texture. It is the fluffiness that gives the image lightness, and in combination with the white color it evokes an association with snow.

How often do we confuse these terms, including me. Let's try to figure out together what the similarities and differences are.

Women's jumper models and patterns.

A jumper is a knitted garment without fasteners or with a partial fastener at the top, which is worn over the head. It can be with or without a collar, but not with any collar, the difference is the sweater, we’ll talk about that below. The neckline can be of any shape, size and length. Well, it seems clear.

I’m sure on our website from the collection of fashionable models of women’s clothing you will definitely choose some version of a women’s jumper, with detailed descriptions and diagrams.

Women's pullover.

A pullover is a type of jumper and has neither a collar nor a fastener. It fits tightly to the body and usually has a V-shaped neckline.

Women's sweater models and patterns.

A sweater is a knitted garment for the upper body that has a two- or three-layer collar that fits around the neck, that is, round around the neck.

It is precisely this distinctive feature in the shape of the collar that immediately sets the sweater apart from all types of knitted women's clothing. It is very convenient and indispensable in the winter or cold seasons, protecting our neck from hypothermia. Our knitting website Vyazhi.ru has an excellent collection of fashionable knitted sweater models, for which there are diagrams and descriptions.

Now a small clarification or apology.

On our website there is a large selection of translations of knitting for women, fashionable models of pullovers, jumpers and sweaters with descriptions and patterns. I’ll say right away that sometimes the names are chosen incorrectly, without fully understanding how to correctly name this type of clothing. Yes, and there is such a nuance: when translating, we give the name in the same way as the designer named it, and this goes against generally accepted norms for determining the gradation and type of clothing. Please don't judge us harshly.

Handmade is increasingly becoming fashionable. People create many beautiful things. But the most interesting thing is to make with your own hands what you will use.

For a beginner, you only need to master a few patterns, loops and learn how to cast on loops with knitting needles. Learn a little about yarn, its main types, what knitting needles and what to knit.

How to choose the right threads for knitting

There is no need to choose complex threads for yourself just yet. For a beginner, a uniform and medium-thick thread is required.

How to choose good knitting needles

There are a few things you need to know about knitting needles - they vary in thickness and each knitting needle usually has a thickness number on it.

There are also models for knitting simple fabric - these are for ordinary knitting needles. Circular - respectively, a circular product with a fishing line. Hosiery - stockings, socks, hats, mittens.

How to arrange a workplace

It is absolutely important to have a comfortable seat and preferably a small table next to your workstation. The most important thing when knitting is a good mood.

Important! The ball of yarn should be fixed and not roll around on the floor.

What additional tools may be needed?

There are many accessories for knitting. For the first knitting lessons, a beginner should acquire the most necessary things:

These are basically the basic things, but a beginner may also need additional accessories. Even though he may not immediately begin to make complex patterns, he simply must learn how to knit braids, because this is a very beautiful element of the pattern. Therefore, for braids it is worth purchasing special knitting needles for creating braids - very convenient knitting needles.

Special pins- also a necessary thing, especially if you don’t need to close the loops in any place, but it is very vulnerable and just an additional knitting needle can easily fly off. For example, when a knitter knits stitches on the thumb of a mitten, it will be easier for her to secure them with a pin later.

Marked rings are like a text marker that will highlight an important word in the whole text. Only he can highlight an important row in the whole canvas.

It is also worth paying attention to such pleasant and convenient accessories as thread separators and knit density meters.

Reviews of simple patterns for knitting a sweater

There are a couple of patterns that will help you create a sweater without problems. Let's get straight to the first diagram. The pattern for it will look like this.

The pattern shows that you will need to make a sleeve that is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top with a smooth transition to the top point of the shoulder. Similar smooth cutouts follow the front shelf and back. Each product is knitted from the bottom - usually a small elastic band and then a fabric. The difference between the front front and the back is that the front will have a neckline, while the back will not have one at all. This distinguishes this model. It has a high collar and therefore the back does not have a neckline. After creating the back and front front, the collar is knitted from raised stitches along the edge of the cutout of the front front and along the edge of the back where the collar is provided.

From such patterns the following product can be obtained.

The following pattern represents more classic patterns. Its difference from the first one is that there is also a cutout for the neckline on the back. Therefore, a high collar would be inappropriate here. A collar around the body no higher than 4–5 cm is more suitable here.

The result may be a sweater model like this.

For adults, the raglan model has recently become quite widespread.

The point of this model is that the sleeves and fronts are practically merged together. The seam does not follow the classic line of the armhole, but rather angularly. Raglan can be knitted in three ways. The first is to complete each detail separately, but according to the specified scheme. The second way is to knit raglan from the bottom (the back and front front in this case are knitted together to the armhole, the sleeves are also knitted in one piece in a circle to the armhole, then all together with decreases and to the collar). The third is when the raglan is made on top. It starts at the neckline, then comes the raglan and increases, and in the armhole line all the details are separated (the sleeves can be knitted separately, the back and front front can be done together or separately).

As a result, you may end up with such an interesting model using the raglan technique.

Create simple knitting patterns step by step

A beginner needs to initially master a set of stitches for knitting needles, although there are extremely many of them, one classic one will be enough for now.

Next, learn how to knit knit stitches and how to knit purl stitches. As long as there are enough such loops, there is no need to immediately study complex elements. All yarn overs and intertwined loops should be left for later. Moreover, the combination of front and back loops already gives a rich imagination of patterns not only for a beginner.

If these patterns seem simple to a beginner, he can dilute them with different colors of yarn.

Checkered pattern

Reminds me of a chessboard. This is a combination of knit and purl stitches according to the following pattern.

Small checkers are suitable for a younger needleworker. But adults can think about creating larger checkers.

The finished fragment of such a diagram will look like this.

Lightning Pattern

No less attractive lightning pattern. The difficulty lies in the constant transfer of facial loops; there must be a small step to shift the pattern.

The following notations are given for this fun pattern.

The lightning fabric diagram itself will look like this.

A beginner should also pay attention to the fact that schemes have rapport. This is the number of loops in a row, along which one element of the pattern goes. This is usually indicated in the diagram itself. This will make it easier to calculate how many loops need to be made so that the pattern comes out symmetrically along the entire length of the specified fabric.

Rice pattern

For such a pattern, in addition to the name “rice,” they often use the name “tangle” or the very beautiful “pearl” pattern. It is divided into two types depending on the caliber of the pattern.

The first is a small pattern, often called “small rice”, “small confusion” or “small pearls”.

This is what a simple scheme of an attractive pattern looks like.

The second is a larger pattern and is a large “rice”, “tangle” and, accordingly, “large pearls”.

This is an interesting scheme for him.

These are the types of patterns a beginner can try to knit. It will be useful to add several types of rubber bands to your piggy bank. For example, the most popular elastic band with knitting needles is the 2*2 elastic band. She is often tried on blouses, socks and almost every product.

This necessary storehouse of knowledge may well be useful for creating a scarf, and perhaps even a larger product. For example, a simple sweater with simple patterns and designs.

Knitting a simple sweater: step-by-step instructions for beginners

A beginner will be able to knit such an elegant sweater using thick yarn and knitting needles number 6-7. The quick result will not turn him away from new creative works and will only inspire him for a new model. Useful instructions that will help you do this quickly and without errors.

Calculation of loops.

The first thing the craftswoman must do is determine how many stitches she will need to cast on with knitting needles. You just need to knit a small sample, for example, of 20-30 loops. Then use a ruler to measure how many loops there are in 10 cm and calculate how many loops are needed based on the waist circumference. Divide the indicator by 2.

Stage 1: back.

This model is designed for size 46. You need to cast on 52 loops with knitting needles and knit 7-9 rows with an elastic band. Here we use a 1*1 elastic band (one knit stitch and one purl loop).

Knit the fabric only with facial stitches, even in purl rows. This will create a garter stitch pattern. It should look like very large purl stitches. Knit like this until the neckline. This model does not have a cutout for sleeves. The result will be drooping shoulders. For the neckline, you will need to close off 20 middle loops and then knit the right and left sides separately (these are the shoulders).

Stage 2: front.

This detail is very similar to the back. You need to knit it in the same way with the same set of loops. Just start the neckline a few rows earlier.

Stage 3: sleeves.

This sleeve model is very convenient for a beginner. There are no armholes here. Therefore, you need to cast on 24 loops and knit the same number of rows with an elastic band as on the front shelf (7–9). Increase by one stitch every fourth row. So knit about 30 rows with the main pattern.

Stage 4: assembly.

There is no need to rush to sew on the finished parts. It is advisable to soak them a little and let them dry on a towel. After complete drying, sew the front and back along the shoulder seams, then sew in the sleeves and create side seams along the sleeves and the entire product. All that remains is to knit the neckline. It’s very difficult, but a beginner can cope with this, especially since he is driven by getting the result of his work. You will need to cast on loops along the edge of the neckline and make several rows of elastic.

So, even a beginner can knit a sweater with a detailed description.

How to knit a baby sweater: step-by-step instructions for beginners

A beginner can definitely knit a sweater for his child. To do this, he just needs to choose a simpler model. This front one in combination with a 2*2 elastic band and a small neckline for a high collar is perfect. Multi-colored threads of multi-yarn will help make the model more interesting.

For knit stitch it is necessary to knit knit stitches in knit rows and purl stitches in purl rows. Make this pattern 50 cm in height and cover all the loops.
2. Before. It is necessary to knit in the same way as the back, but at a height of 45 cm, make the closure of 18 loops for the neck. In the next row cast off 2 stitches and then only one. This will create a neat rounding of the gate. After a height of 50 cm, also close all loops.
3. Sleeves. For the sleeve you need to make a set of 26 loops. Knit 10 rows with an elastic band 2*2 and return to the stockinette stitch. Work approximately 25 rows and overlap stitches. Make increments every 5 rows and only one loop at a time.
4. Assembly: It is important after making all the parts to moisten them a little and dry them on a horizontal surface. Then sew along the shoulder seams, sew in the sleeves and make side seams on the sleeves and the whole jacket.

The crucial moment is casting on the neckline and knitting the collar loops. The collar is a 2*2 elastic band. You need to knit it to a height of approximately 23 cm. The product is ready. You can call the owner of this thing and try it on.

How to decorate a knitted sweater

You can decorate a finished sweater using a variety of techniques. For example, ordinary ribbons tied with neat bows will look elegant.

Special appliqués will help make the sweater more fun.

Moreover, you can make them yourself or buy ready-made options.

Adult models can be easily decorated with beads to match the product.

For those who like to work with their hands, it will not be difficult to do embroidery.

Variations of lace bring femininity to any product.

Even a small stripe at the bottom changes the appearance of the whole sweater.

This is not all that you can do to decorate your things.

Creating chic things with knitting needles is easy. The main desire is to get something unusual. Therefore, you can open your apprentice and start making exquisite things.

A knitted pullover is a basic wardrobe item for fall or winter. These clothes emphasize the advantages of the figure, and can also be used to embody various stylish looks, from everyday to office.

What it is?

A pullover is an element of knitted clothing. It is considered to be a type of jumper. A distinctive feature is the processing of the neck. The pullover has a V- or U-shaped neckline at the front. It fits perfectly, emphasizing the roundness of the body. Another difference between a knitted pullover and a jumper and sweater is that any model is presented without a collar.

The knitted pullover was very common in England. It was worn by men as outerwear. Since the twentieth century, women also began to wear a pullover due to its convenience. Designers began to create women's pullover models, offering new styles and colors.

Fashionable knitted pullovers for women

Designers constantly surprise the fair sex with unusual, stylish and original styles of pullovers. Each model has a twist, which lies in non-standard combinations or the type of knitting.

Stylists pay attention to texture, combining different materials and often use asymmetrical cutting. But don’t forget about the classics, because they are also in trend. Semi-fitted pullovers look unique in any style.

Models decorated with three-dimensional patterns look impressive and fashionable. The pullover can be represented by openwork diamonds, braids, waves, shells and other patterns that give the product mystery and originality.

The combination of several types of knitting looks beautiful. For example, several strands or inserts of lace patterns against the background of facial loops will become a spectacular decoration of the model, adding charm and charm to it. You can depict any design on the pullover using professional weaves.

A pullover is an excellent choice for girls with curvy figures. It fits perfectly to different body types and allows you to hide its imperfections. Plus-size ladies should give preference to a classic knitted pullover with a V-neck, which will balance out your figure. Short wing sleeves hide full arms and broad shoulders. For plump girls, it is better to purchase plain models, since not every print suits them.

A pullover with a hood is suitable not only for embodying a sporty look. Openwork models that are used to create a romantic look look very beautiful. Young people often prefer this option. Stylish and comfortable.

Chunky knit pullovers are trending this season. They are available in both short and long models. Such options are made mainly in one tone. Pullovers decorated with abstract patterns are often found.

Garter stitch patterns look simple, laconic, but at the same time stylish and beautiful. Designers offer models in bright, rich colors that can be combined with different wardrobe elements.

A pullover with an openwork yoke is ideal for embodying a romantic look. It looks feminine, original and unusual. The variety of patterns allows you to create charming models. A pullover with an extended back is an excellent solution for the cold season. Practicality and convenience, as well as a stylish design, are the main advantages of this model.

Knitted pullovers that combine several colors look impressive. For example, the kaleidoscope model will become a bright element of an elegant bow and will attract the attention of others. The patchwork pullover not only combines different colors, but also a variety of knitting techniques. Such models look original and fashionable.

What to wear with

A knitted pullover is suitable for creating spectacular looks in different styles; it can be combined with a variety of elements of a woman’s wardrobe.

To create a unique look for every day, a knitted pullover should be worn in tandem with jeans, which can be of any style. The combination of a pullover over a shirt with a denim skirt looks beautiful.

The top and bottom of contrasting colors look impressive. For example, a white shirt can be worn under a brown or blue pullover. With an ultramarine model, you can wear a shirt in a soft blue shade.

A pullover in basic colors is perfect for embodying a business look. You can even choose models with a laconic print. For office style, you should give preference to models in black, brown, beige or gray. When choosing a bottom, you should wear a classic shirt in a snow-white color. To create a business ensemble, you can choose a formal skirt or straight trousers.

To create a creative look, a combination of a black knitted pullover with a bright skirt in styles such as sun, small pleated or models presented in flying silhouettes is ideal. In this look, the skirt is the highlight, which can be emphasized with a matching accessory.

Young people prefer to wear knitted pullovers with prints, which look great in tandem with boyfriend jeans, leather or suede mini-length skirts. The pullover can be worn naked or over a turtleneck or shirt.

Color solutions

Designers use the entire palette of colors when creating women's knitted pullovers. Every fashionista can choose the shade that will highlight the beauty of her eyes and will successfully harmonize with the color of her skin and hair.

Knitting is increasingly attracting young girls to realize their fantasies - and this is in the presence of an abundance of things in stores and shopping centers. They are driven by the desire to be individual. Of course, learning to knit on your own is quite difficult for beginners, but it is possible - if you show maximum patience and accuracy. It is better for beginners to start knitting a scarf or any other simple product. Those who have already coped with a similar, and at first glance, impossible task, can start knitting a sweater. The article will provide detailed information on how to do this with minimal difficulty.

Choosing yarn

To begin with, you should pay attention to the choice of yarn, which is purchased in specialized stores. Often, knitting experts work here, so they can advise you on the choice. Otherwise, give preference to acrylic, wool mixed with acrylic (50/50) or cotton - today there is a huge amount of cotton yarn, which, unlike the usual thin and stiff thread, is soft and retains heat.

You should not take angora, mohair or yarn with lurex for your first experiment. It is also not recommended to choose 100% wool, as there will be many problems with it - the wool shrinks, so you may make a mistake in calculating the size. Beforehand, the wool, while still in skeins, is soaked in warm water and dried on a warm radiator or in another warm place - this gives full shrinkage to the skein, so you can knit taking into account the natural dimensions of the model.

Choosing tools

A women's sweater can be knitted on both metal and wooden knitting needles. Wooden ones are better for beginners because they prevent unscheduled “falling off” of hinges, which is a disaster for beginners - they will not be able to “plant” the hinges again, they will have to undo everything.

As for selecting the diameter of the knitting needles for the yarn, follow the available recommendations from the yarn manufacturers - the labels indicate which knitting needles and crochet are recommended for knitting from the selected thread. Here there is an indication of the characteristic density, but you should not pay attention to them, because everyone’s knitting style is individual - some knit loosely, while others pull the thread tightly on their finger.

Be sure to prepare circular knitting needles - knitting needles on a fishing line - of the same number as the main ones. They will be needed to tie the neckline.

Loop calculation

To calculate the density, you need to cast on 20-30 loops on the knitting needles and knit about 10 cm with the pattern chosen for the sweater. The resulting sample should be steamed with an iron or moistened and dried properly so that the sample takes on its final form and shape. Afterwards, calculations are made of the number of loops per 1 cm of fabric, as well as the number of rows per 1 cm of height. Record your results.

Pattern selection

Before considering the question of how to knit a sweater, you need to decide on a pattern. For beginners, use simple garter stitch - it is knitted only with knit stitches. For clarity and for beginners in the presented type of needlework, there is a video of a set of loops on knitting needles and a master class on knitting facial loops. Having studied the technique, you can start knitting a sweater yourself. The instructions are presented step by step, so there will be no problems.

Knitting a sweater

The step-by-step instructions allow you to knit a sweater with knitting needles, as in the picture. Here, bulky yarn and knitting needles number 6-7 are used - this allows you to quickly master the knitting technique and also quickly achieve the result. The quick result inspires new fantasies for beginners and draws them into the craft.

Back

It is better to start knitting a product for women with knitting needles from the back - if you make a mistake with the size, you can make the front a little wider for the chest. So, knitting the back occurs in the sequence:

1. Cast on 52 loops on the knitting needles - 50 loops will go into the fabric, and 2 loops are edge loops, which are never included in the calculations of knitting the fabric with knitting needles.
2. Knit the first row with a 1x1 elastic band - 1 knit loop, 1 purl loop. Continue in this alternating manner to the end of the row. Turn the work over and continue knitting the elastic using the “pattern” method. If you have an even number of loops, you will end up starting the second row with a purl stitch. Knit 7-9 rows with an elastic band.
3. Start knitting the main fabric from the front row - the front row “looks” at you. Start further knitting the back to the height of the shoulder line, not reaching 3 cm, only with facial loops - this is how you get a garter stitch. Beginners should not spend a lot of time knitting armholes - this will make it difficult and a little confusing for the craftswomen. Make your first sweater by knitting with the sleeves dropped.
4. Having reached the shoulder line, start knitting the neckline. To do this, knit 15 loops on the front side with knit stitches, bind off 20 loops, knit the remaining 15 loops. Now you will knit the shoulders separately, but do not slip the stitches on the auxiliary needles.
5. Turn the work over, knit a total of 12 loops - the last 3 are “removed” by knitting 2 loops together according to the pattern.
6. Turn the work over again and knit another row of 12 loops. Close the loops if you already have 3 cm for the neck.
7. Attach the thread to the edge of the second shoulder and make a symmetrical decrease, bind off the loops, tear off the thread.

Before

Now start knitting the front, which if necessary, make it a little wider (if your chest is larger than size 3). Knitting is carried out similarly to the back, but 5 cm is not knitted to the edge of the shoulders - the neck is knitted in the same way. But with slight changes in loop calculations:

1. Knit 19 stitches, cast off 12 stitches, knit the remaining 19 stitches.
2. Turn the work over and knit a row with 15 loops.
3. Turn the work over again, bind off 3 loops, knit 12 loops - so knit 5 cm of the neckline.
4. Similarly, symmetrically tie the second part of the front.

Sleeve

The selected model is knitted with the sleeves pulled down, that is, without knitting the armhole. Accordingly, you will not have to knit the sleeve armhole line. Here you just have to close the loops after finishing knitting. The sleeve knitting sequence is as follows:

Assembly and strapping

How to knit a sweater for a woman with knitting needles - it turns out that this is not such a difficult task. The majority of even experienced craftswomen throw away already knitted products and do not want to bother with the assembly. For beginners, this is not a threat in principle - they are driven by the desire to get results. The presented model does not require complex actions.

It is better to soak pre-finished parts in water and place them on a towel for proper formation and drying. After the parts are dry, connect the parts in any convenient way. Sew the shoulder seams first. Then sew on the sleeves, and only then sew the side seams. Iron the resulting seams.

If the sewn sweater is the right size, proceed to tying the neckline. To do this, using circular knitting needles, begin to pull the loops of the neck of the sweater. This is done from the middle of the back. Carefully pull the loops onto the knitting needles - make sure that there are an even number of them.

Now start knitting the neckline - knit the binding with a 1x1 elastic band like cuffs (7-9 rows will be required). Sometimes you have to reduce or increase the number of rows of neck binding - this does not lead to dire consequences, so it is allowed to do so. Moreover, beginners may not immediately guess the size of the neckband.

When knitting the neckline, there is no need to reduce the number of loops - the elastic band is elastic, so the binding of the collar area will fit properly on the girl’s neck. A detailed technique for tying the neckline is presented in the video.

So, knitting a sweater for a girl, even if she is a beginner, is not as difficult as it seems at the very beginning. The main thing is to simplify the work as much as possible - choose a thicker thread, light yarn, give preference to a simple pattern. Then knitting will not be difficult, but enjoyable.
