1. ADVANTAGE OF KNITTED CARDIGANS. HOW TO CHOOSE AND WITH WHAT TO WEAR THE MODEL SUITABLE FOR YOU

The cardigan is back in fashion and many women are happy to complement their wardrobe with new models of these knitwear. Classically, the cardigan looks like an elegant, soft, loose-fitting jacket without a collar or an elongated jacket with a V-neck, which fastens with snaps or buttons, and is also complemented by side pockets.

Some women prefer not to buy new models of outerwear, but knit fashionable things with their own hands according to patterns with a detailed description of all stages of work. We have already published several articles with video tutorials, master classes, diagrams and instructions, with the help of which our visitors have already knitted wonderful cardigans, jackets, blouses and vests with knitting or crocheting. On our site you can also find patterns and knitting lessons for different models of outerwear for overweight women, interesting options for cardigans and large tunics.

What cardigan model would you like to knit? Useful tips from stylists to help you choose the right option for the upcoming season.

How to wear a knitted cardigan:

Winter, late autumn. An elongated women's cardigan made of thick knitted wool will look perfect in tandem with a turtleneck or with a jumper. Bottom: tight knitted trousers, skinny leggings or thick, warm dark-colored jeans. Knitted cardigans decorated with fur along the edges look spectacular (just below the fastener line and further along the entire bottom).
Summer, early spring. You can knit a light model with a large pattern or pattern from thin threads with knitting needles. A short cardigan will look spectacular with a top, and a medium length one with a fitted light dress.

What is combined with a cardigan without fasteners and buttons. This option is at the height of fashion today and knitted clothes without buttons can be combined with different dresses. You will look feminine and stylish if you knit a cardigan, the length of which will be about the same as that of the dress. You can also wear dresses that are slightly longer than the cardigan.

An elongated midi cardigan (covering the hips) or knee length. This option is suitable for slender, short women. You can knit a model with short sleeves and a large pattern in the button area. You can wear it with different models of trousers - slightly flared at the very bottom or with straight lines with arrows. Shoes: a knitted cardigan + trousers, dark shoes (or boots - in winter) on a high platform or with heels will harmoniously complement the ensemble. This will make you look much slimmer and taller.

Long cardigan (below the knee line). Perfect knitwear for tall women! It will look perfect on both full women and women with a slender figure. A wide belt will perfectly complement the outfit (you can weave or knit with your own hands, and purchase a buckle), thanks to which your figure will look more slender and feminine.

A long knitted cardigan can be worn: with long fitted dresses, with black skirts, with a light blouse, with skinny jeans or knitted trousers. If the legs are slender, then you can wear breeches under the cardigan (or denim shorts in summer) and tights to match the breeches.

Short cardigan. In an ensemble with a fitted model, you can safely wear a pencil skirt, a stylish flared skirt and any dress up to a maple to match the top.
Short shorts or breeches with a plain T-shirt will look great in an ensemble with a short knitted cardigan in the summer season. Below is a photo of suitable clothing options for cardigans:

We choose the color of the yarn from which we will knit a suitable cardigan for a woman:

A cardigan knitted from red yarn will go well with yellow, white, black, and also golden colors.

Beige cardigan can be worn with clothes in languid, muted colors. A good accent is golden dwarf clothes and golden high-heeled shoes.

With a blue cardigan, you can create a very stylish ensemble, but you need to consider the following - for a cold and dark blue color, choose the option from
achromatic palette (black, gray or white), and under the warm and light blue clothing options are yellow, orange and even dark green. In an ensemble with a blue knitted cardigan, democratic options such as denim shirts, denim dresses and other denim options will look great.

Universal black cardigan. Under a knitted black cardigan, you can even wear an evening suit (both black and light). Suitable options: clothes in white, silver, light pink.

A.1 and all the additions in our work 244; 264; 284; 308; 340; 360p.

Instead, we collect 6 for undercuts; 6; 8; 8; 8; 10p., Putting M in the center of these loops. So we will designate the side seams.

Main part

With us, it will be tied out of 154; 166; 182; 198; 218; 238p. We continue according to the picture - the main fabric is stocking knit, the straps are garter. After 4 cm from the undercuts, we subtract 1p. on each side of M - see decrease 1. Repeat the series of decreases every 4 cm from the undercuts twice more. After 18cm from the undercuts, increase by 1p. from M according to the algorithm of additions 2. We repeat the additions twice more every 4 cm. Through 33; 33; 33; 33; 33; 34cm go to sp. No4. We knit 4p. garter knot. Again we change sp. on No5 and close all the stitches. The cardigan at this stage has a height of 56; 58; 60; 62; 64; 66cm

Sleeves

We transplant the deferred stitches on the knitting needles No5. Raise 6 along the edge of the undercut; 6; 8; 8; 8; 10p. In the center of these points we put M, denoting the beginning of the circular row. We have 57; 61; 67; 71; 77; 81p. We knit in a circle, distributing the loops so: 0; 2; 1; 3; 2; 9p. stocking pattern, A.2A, A.2B on the next. 48; 48; 56; 56; 64; 72p., A.2C, 0; 2:1; 3; 2; 0p. stocking pattern.

for the S-ra in all 4th circular rivers;
for raz-ra M in all 3 circular rivers;
for cuts L and XL in all 2nd circular rivers;

We have 41; 41; 43; 45; 47; 47p. Loops that are not related to the rapport of the pattern, we knit stocking ch. After 18; 16; 15; 14; 12; 11cm from the undercut go to sp. No4, we knit 4p. scarf pattern. Let's go back to sp. No5. We replace the thread with alpaca wool with mohair. Next, we knit the sleeve with mohair yarn in two strands. We do 1r. facial loops. If we count by the number of loops, then we have 41 of them; 41; 43; 45; 47; 47 pieces, i.e. the quantity has not changed. But, each of them is knitted with a double thread. For ourselves, we accept that the number of items we have is 82; 82; 86; 90; 94; 94, i.e.: one thread \u003d one loop.

We remove one mohair thread and then knit the sleeve with one thread of mohair yarn. The algorithm is as follows: * from the first paragraph we knit 2l. - one of each thread, 1n., from 1p. - 2l., as mentioned above *. From * to * repeat until the end of the river. We end up with 123; 123; 129; 135; 141; 141p. Further - 5r. facial. Close p.: * close. 1p., 1n.,

On the left side we pass a loop through it *. From * to * repeat until the end of the river.

Assembling the front, along the edge, sew on the buttons.

On the same left side, starting from the collar, we raise along the edge with a mohair crochet in two threads of 1p. from each 2nd p. plank to the bottom of the shelf. We transfer the item to sp. No5. We have 116-138p. (if you count the stitches along the threads of the yarn, as on the sleeves). Following. out. row: 1l. (we knit this double stitch as one), * 2i. from trace. p., 1n., 2i. from trace. n. * repeat from * to * until the end of the river. We finish the 1st person. n. (we knit this doubled n. as one).

Selection of schemes

A cardigan is a large, spectacular thing, so knitters want it to sit perfectly on the figure, look beautiful and have an interesting texture. It is most convenient to knit a cardigan with knitting needles on a fishing line, as you can immediately dial in many loops for knitting large details, for example, a back or a shawl collar.

A knitted cardigan is not necessarily a buttoned product, so even novice knitters who find it difficult to make loops can be taken for it. The product can be made with plowing floors on the belt, and knitting it with knitting needles is much easier than fiddling with loops. There are styles of cardigans with a fastener on one button using an air loop, although then it will not work out only with knitting needles: you will have to pick up a crochet hook. But to connect an elementary chain by closing it into a loop is a very unpretentious procedure.

With good crocheting skills, you can decorate a finished cardigan knitted with knitting needles around the edges with various elements. It is not bad to tie flowers and leaves that can become an adornment of a product on a collar or in the form of a brooch on the chest. Such a cardigan can even be smooth, made with a garter or front (stocking) knit.

How to knit a beautiful cardigan with knitting needles, where to start

The most spectacular cardigan is openwork knitting. There are many patterns for knitting that have an interesting relief or even look like lace. A light cardigan with such a texture will look charming and warm well in cool weather or on an evening walk in the summer. To make such a thing, you need to study the elements of openwork knitting with knitting needles: crochets, front and back loops. A warmer product can be made with knitting needles and a special pin for weaving loops. “Pigtails”, “ropes”, “diamonds”, “bumps” - these are the main elements that you have to master for such a cardigan.

You also need to provide cut details:

back;
shelves;
coquette;
collar;
sleeves;
cuffs.

It is good to knit a cardigan with knitting needles with a raglan style, which involves a minimum of details that will have to be sewn together. Beautifully connecting them is also a certain art that requires the acquisition of new skills. You will have to master the knitted and knitted seams (vertical and horizontal). Alternatively, you can connect the details with a crochet hook, knitting single crochets or half crochets.

The choice of model and knitting pattern

Starting to make a cardigan with knitting needles, you need to choose a model that would ideally fit the figure. Next, you need to understand what is the consumption of yarn per product. If you have a little yarn, then it is better to knit an openwork model: it is more economical. If you knit with larger needles, then the work will be done faster, but the threads should also be thick enough so that the finished cardigan does not look too loose and does not lose shape when washed.

The knitting pattern depends not only on the style, but also on the pattern. Those who know how to perform complex ornaments well with knitting needles should knit the sample with the selected threads in order to calculate from it how many loops will have to be dialed in width. The height of the part can be adjusted in the process of working on a pattern or by measuring with a centimeter.

For those who are not well versed in patterns and patterns, it is advisable to choose a finished model with a pattern and clearly follow the recommendations for selecting yarn and knitting needles.

Selection of yarn and tools

The thread should not be thicker than the needles, otherwise it will be inconvenient to knit. If its diameter is much smaller, then the knitted fabric will lose elasticity, which will lead to deformation of the cardigan. The thickness of the yarn is indicated on the label to the skein. With paired knitting needles, it's even easier: their shanks are often stamped with a number that is their diameter. But what about the knitting needles on the fishing line, if they have been on the farm for a long time, and it is impossible to remember what was written on their label? You can use a caliper, and if you don’t have one, then just pierce a sheet of graph paper with a knitting needle and estimate the diameter of the resulting hole. It is convenient to simply compare the thickness of the thread and knitting needles by eye, and if they are approximately the same, then start knitting a sample of the selected pattern.

New models of cardigans for women and girls

Among the new models of cardigans, there are many samples made with knitting needles. In most cases, knitting with interlacing is used. These are large "braids" or "strings", as well as their variations. Such a relief texture will make even a direct product unforgettable. There are practically no shaped tight cardigans among the newfangled designs. Therefore, before you start knitting a cardigan with knitting needles, you should practice with a weaving pin.

It should be remembered that the overlap of the loops slightly narrows the resulting canvas, and the holes, on the contrary, expand. This means that you should not be lazy to knit a large pattern, for example, 20 loops for 20 or 30 rows, in order to correctly calculate the number of both per cardigan detail.

With the right calculation, you will get a beautiful product. Examples can be seen in the photos. There are also options for a very simple knitting of yarn of different colors. Spectacular stripes make all the weather. Garter stitch with thick threads and large knitting needles is another way to make a cardigan interesting.

How to knit a cardigan with knitting needles - lessons for beginners

The easiest to knit is a dense cardigan, made with facial loops of multi-colored yarn. You can choose only black and white threads of the same type to make a spectacular product. The cardigan pattern needs to be drawn into strips of unequal width (like a barcode laid on its side), calculate how many rows will turn out in each of these strips, and start knitting the back and shelves with knitting needles. Yarn can be selected with a thickness of 4 to 5 mm. If it is thinner, then you can knit in two threads. You can even knit a cardigan with 7 mm knitting needles, but it is important to remember that the thread should not be very thin.

Usually begin to knit details from the bottom of the product to its top. The fronts and back are knitted straight, without decreasing stitches, up to the point where the sleeves will be sewn in. If you do not reduce the loops here, then you can make a cardigan with a low armhole, which is also welcome in this fashion season. The sleeve pattern must fully correspond to such an armhole, otherwise it will be difficult to sew it into the product.

The fastener can be made with a “zipper”, which will have to be stitched on a typewriter, setting a large stitch. You will have to make sure that the machine does not tighten the floors of the cardigan.

Knitted cardigans with knitting needles - diagrams with a description

More advanced in knitting, you can safely take on an openwork cardigan. Even if it is knitted with relatively thin knitting needles, the result will still be obtained quickly. Air knitting does not require a large number of loops and rows. The consumption of threads on the cardigan will be less.

Knitted openwork cardigan

Openwork cardigans are good for full and thin people. As soon as a full lady chooses a “trapeze” silhouette, a cardigan thrown over her shoulders will slim her. A large pattern for an openwork cardigan with rounded elements is better for owners of a thin figure. The main thing is to find a knitting pattern on the Internet. A tight-fitting cardigan, the ornament of which has a diagonal direction, can also give harmony. If you add an elongated silhouette, then the correction of the figure due to clothing can be considered finished.

Will it be possible to knit a cardigan with knitting needles in the Art Nouveau style, if you choose the puffy style “Lalo”, which is loved by many, as a basis? Modern involves curved lines, which means a tight silhouette. “Lalo” are voluminous ropes, which are called braids in many schemes. The cardigan turns out to be straight, but due to the volume, it acquires a barrel-shaped outline. This cozy cocoon can be worn with a belt, and then the figure will take on an hourglass silhouette. And this already fits into the concept of modernity. And the flowing "ropes" cannot be called straight lines either.

The “Rope” pattern for a cardigan is knitted with a special pin (hairpin, additional knitting needle). In the product scheme, weaving is done in a section of 30 or 32 facial loops. To do this, 15 or 16 loops (respectively) are strung on a pin and the work is skipped forward, and the remaining 15 or 16 loops are knitted with facial ones. Then the removed loops from the pin are sent to the non-working knitting needle - attention! - without twisting and are knitted in the same way with facial ones. Since we have only two interlacing lines of loops - this is a classic "rope". The "braid" consists of three "strands" in the same way as it is woven from hair. For example, 30 loops, it looks like this: after 16 rows from the beginning, the first 10 loops are removed on a pin and folded forward work. Another 10 loops overlap with them - the average of 30. Next, 16 more rows are knitted, after which the first 10 loops are knitted with facial ones, the second ten is removed with a pin and skipped behind the work, and the last 10 loops out of 30 are knitted in front. Then the loops are removed from the pin, and it is the turn to knit them with knitting needles.

The “Lalo” cardigan can also be made with “braids”, then the weaving will turn out one and a half times smaller, the puffs will not be so convex, which is just favorable for women with a full figure.

It is easy to make a non-voluminous cardigan with knitting needles for a full figure, as it is knitted simply - with a garter stitch. With it, turning the work, you continue to knit only the front (or only the wrong) loops. You can knit without much thought. The main thing is to correctly calculate the loops and rows according to the pattern. In order for garter knitting to come out embossed, it is worth arming yourself with large knitting needles and a thick thread. The turn-down collar of such a model will give those same diagonal lines that perfectly hide the fullness.

You can make asymmetrical shelves with knitting needles by adding loops; this will require a special pattern. The asymmetry of the cardigan consists in the diagonal line of the right floor, which can be fixed with a single large button at the standing collar. The rest of the fastener should be made secret - on buttons or Velcro.

Long knit cardigan with hood

If you want to knit a cardigan with a hood with knitting needles, then you should take a responsible approach to choosing a pattern. It is easy to knit a cardigan with knitting needles from alternating vertical stripes of purl and facial loops. Often this pattern is complemented by the interlacing of "strings" or "braids". But it is precisely this texture that can fail, and a cardigan with a hood will turn out to look like a bathrobe.

It is better to choose for such a product an openwork ornament that is easy to knit with knitting needles. If this thing does not seem warm enough to you, then it is even better to knit a cardigan with knitting needles with a garter or stocking pattern.

If you do well with knitting needles with threads of different colors, then you can come up with a semblance of letter prints or just geometric shapes, put a cardigan on the pattern and build a knitting pattern on it. Often, advanced knitters can keep such a pattern in their heads, and already connected rows will serve as a “beacon” for them.

Children's cardigan with a honeycomb pattern for girls - knitting

Do not think that a cardigan, especially with an elongated silhouette, is clothing exclusively for adults. Children's cardigans have also become fashionable and have become an essential attribute of children's wardrobe. Knitting a cardigan for your daughter or granddaughter is an opportunity to hone your skills, learn how to cut and count loops. After all, a small cardigan is knitted, which means that the work goes faster and the result becomes visible earlier.

Pattern "Honeycombs"

Today, a children's cardigan made with the "Honeycomb" pattern is popular. There are several variants of these "hundreds". There is a spectacular two-color pattern for crocheting, it is also proposed to knit it with a crochet and knitting needles at the same time. That is, the upper and lower lines of honeycombs, which ideally have a slope of 120 °, are knitted with knitting needles, and the vertical ones are then added with a hook.

The second option is performed exclusively with knitting needles. The cardigan turns out to be monophonic, with a relief pattern, which is based on the technique of overlapping loops described above. But you will have to work on them much more than in the Lalo cardigan. To imitate the sloping lines of a honeycomb, you will have to “move” the loops in each row, moreover, both in the front and in the back.

The complexity of knitting such a pattern with knitting needles will not make the work too long, since the cardigan is for children, that is, small. But in such a product, the baby will be warm.

It is good to knit a cardigan with knitting needles for a boy. For a baby, you can not choose complex and artsy patterns. Two-color "Honeycomb" is useless here. But to knit convex "honeycombs" with knitting needles, choosing threads of a dark cold tone - it is quite possible even for a schoolboy.

The cardigan is not only women's clothing, and it was invented by a man of a very harsh profession. This Englishman was an officer and had a surname, you guessed it - Cardigan. It is not known what exactly these warm clothes for soldiers were then knitted with knitting needles or crocheted, or knitting machines were in use. But for the army men who spent a lot of time in the field, this turned out to be a real salvation in the cold.

Dear ladies, knit cardigans for girls and boys: the children will become warm.

A cardigan is an interesting and fashionable accessory in the wardrobe of a modern woman. The variety of shapes and styles of the cardigan allows you to wear it with anything: with a skirt, dress, dress pants and ripped jeans. Needlewomen have been knitting cardigans for more than a year, because they are in trend. Of particular interest are models of cardigans knitted with knitting needles from thick yarn or from thick braids - imitation of bulk knitting: cardigans with Lalo knitting needles, cardigans with merino knitting needles, etc.

Knitting a cardigan with thick yarn is easier because the work progresses quickly and requires much less time and patience. After all, not every craftswoman will find the strength to knit one thing for 2-3 months. So, if you are not ready to stock up on long patience, choose thicker yarn, larger knitting needles and interesting master classes.

If your clothes are an office option, then feel free to choose shades of gray, cold blue or rose quartz. And if you wear more casual, denim clothes, then buy saffron or electric blue. Although gray also looks good with jeans.

The consumption of yarn for knitting a cardigan is quite large 1-1.5 kg. In this case, you can save money by buying yarn by packaging in the online store, and not by the piece at retail. It's even better to do this:

buy 1 skein of 2-3 yarn options
knit a pattern for a cardigan
wash it and make the calculation of the loops.

As a result, you will know the quality of the yarn: whether it sheds or not, whether the yarn shrinks, whether it holds the pattern you have chosen well. Such careful preparation will save you from the frustration that can be experienced in case of incorrect yarn selection. Or, alternatively, buy only the yarn recommended by the author of the model you have chosen. It is not worth experimenting in this case.
