Here is a video with a detailed analysis of knitting leaves


Scheme of leaves with video

Here is a video of knitting such a sweater - size 46, lanagold classic yarn




Well, now, let's start selecting yarn and making calculations.
As I see it, this sweater can be knitted from a wide variety of yarns, the main thing is to knit a sample and calculate everything for your specific yarn, knitting needles and knitting density.

When calculating the quantity of a sweater needed for this, I relied on the information in this post, where a girl had already knitted such a sweater Http://www.stranamam.ru/post/12192503/

So, there was yarn 50g - 225 m, in two threads, consumption of 14 skeins (700 grams).
Thus, with a meter of 100 g - 225 m, the total length of the thread is 1575 meters.
Based on this calculation, it is possibleapproximatelyestimate how much yarn we need of different sizes:
yardage 100 g - 175 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 175 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 900 g of yarn
yardage 100 g - 200 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 200 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 800 g of yarn
yardage 100 g - 225 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 225 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 700 g of yarn
yardage 100 g - 250 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 250 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 650 g of yarn
yardage 100 g - 275 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 275 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 600 g of yarn
yardage 100 g - 300 m (knitting in 1 thread), 50 g - 300 m (knitting in 2 threads) - 600 g of yarn in total
yardage 100 g - 450 m (knitting in 2 threads) - total 750 g of yarn


For this sweater I bought Superlambs Special Nako yarn (49% wool 51% acrylic), 100 g - 200 m, color like this, 181.


Now calculations

The top photo is my drawing.These are the measurements of the girl for whom the sweater is knitted, size 40-42.
The bottom picture is already in cm, what a sweater should be, according to my calculations...

I want to make the elastic tighter so that it holds the sweater a little, and it slouches a little on top. I added 5 cm to the overlap. I calculated the width of the fabric as follows: chest volume + 20% + 2 cm for stitching.
I’m not sure about the neckline yet, we’ll see as we knit.

Now we knit a sample. Girls, I highly recommend doing this! This will help avoid unnecessary work. Yes, maybe you’re lazy, you don’t want to wait until you knit it until it dries... but have mercy on yourself and your work!

My sample


After we have washed the sample, we steam it (if the yarn allows) and now we can take measurements. I took measurements in a fixed form, as in the photo, that is, I stretched it a little. I was probably lucky with the yarn, because both before and after the second the sample sizes are the same.

Below are my calculations of the loops based on the sample sizes and measurements.

Well, now you can get started!

At the bottom I will have a 2*2 elastic band, then a pattern of leaves on a branch of 3 knit stitches, the leaves will be parallel to each other, I think it will be possible to fit 3 pairs of leaves. Knitting needles for elastic band No. 4, for main fabric No. 5

Based on the available patterns and the knitting pattern in the video above, I made a diagram of the leaf, enlarging it a little. The diagram shows only knit rows, purl rows are knitted according to the pattern. The second leaf is knitted in a mirror image.


Here's my start. Having knitted one repeat of leaves, I tried it on, everything agrees with my calculations, so I knit further


I immediately knitted one report, after finishing the leaf I started knitting a second one, but it seemed to me that they were spaced too widely. So I started knitting the second leaf on the 33rd row of the pattern (the one I drew with a pen). In the end it turned out what is in the photo, I liked it better length 27 cm.


Here it is ready before!
I closed the neck according to the diagram below. Since the neck will be tied with an elastic band, its depth is suitable, well, I think



I closed the neck of the back using the same pattern, only I closed the loops not so deep, but higher.

I immediately made the sleeve straight, without widening, but it didn’t look very nice and was tight. That's why I made an extension.

For the sleeve, I cast on 32 stitches and knitted 13 rows with an elastic band. Then add loops up to 45 (27 - repeat, 9 purl on each side). And we knit three leaves.
And when the fourth sheet begins, its first row, this will be the first row in the following increase pattern:

We make increases on both sides (near the edge) in the following rows - 3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31,35,37,39,41. We knit a total of 45 rows and close the loops.

The next stage for me was the WTO. I washed parts of the sweater in cold water with shampoo, let the excess water drain off and dried them on a horizontal surface. Then I steamed all the parts, especially the edges because they will need to be sewn together.

Having sewn the two halves of the hangers on top, I began to tie the neckline.


Here are links to very beautiful and neat necklines, excellent MKs

Wonderful sweater from a craftswoman Pilipyan.


Used yarn Alize Lanagold 800 in 3 folds. Consumption is about 300-400 g. Circular and stocking needles No. 4.5 - 5. Needle for stitching parts. I made a description of a children's model for the age of 3 years; to knit such a sweater of a different size, you definitely need thicker yarn and all calculations need to be done for a different size.

We start knitting the sweater from the bottom up, from the elastic band to the neckline.

We cast on 102 sts. We knit a 2 by 2 elastic band about 7 cm in a circle. After 50 loops, I placed markers on both sides to clearly separate the front from the back. I drew the diagram of the leaves exactly the way I wanted to knit them. On the front, as well as on the back, I included 2 rapports (2 branches with leaves). Between the rapports in front it turned out to be 2 purls. loops. And on the sides of the sweater there are 4 purl. p. If you need a sweater a little wider, you can easily add a few loops in these places and the chest circumference of the product will increase. Next we knit according to the pattern to the desired size. All purl rows are knitted according to the pattern. When knitting this pattern in the round, it will be difficult to keep track of the pattern rows and purl rows. In fact, every second (i.e. even) row will be considered purl. This can be quite difficult for those new to knitting. In this case, I can advise you to knit the product in rotating rows, i.e. separately for the back, separately for the front and then sew it together. It will be easier.
25 cm from the bottom I divided the sweater into front and back. There is no need to knit the armholes of this sweater, that is, we just continue to knit straight, first the front part separately.










Approximately 6-7 cm from the division into halves we need to close the gate opening. To do this, divide the halves into 26 sts and close in the central part like this:
Row 1: decrease 4 stitches at the beginning of the row
2 r. and all even rows: purl (no changes)
3 p.: 3 sts at the beginning of the row
5 p.: 3 p. at the beginning of the row
7 p.: 2 p. at the beginning of the row.

Further the shoulder is straight another 4-5 cm.

We close the loops of the shoulder and knit the second half of the collar and the other shoulder. Here, when forming the collar, we do all the decreases in the same way, only we do the decreases at the beginning of the purl rows (even), and we knit the front rows (odd) simply according to the pattern. After this, we perform and close the second shoulder. The back is knitted in the same way, but we begin to close the collar 8 cm from the separation of the sweater halves.

After this, we connect the shoulder seams. Now you need to cast on the loops for the collar. Carefully cast on 68 sts along the edge of the armhole. Be careful not to pull the collar. We knit 3 cm with a 2 x 2 elastic band. Close elastically.

Sleeves. For them we cast on 28 stitches on stocking needles. In a circle we knit 5 cm with an elastic band 2 by 2. Then I knitted the second sleeve in exactly the same way and after that I transferred both sleeves to 1 circular knitting needle. I did this so that the entire pattern and all the additions could be knitted simultaneously on both sleeves. This is very convenient because you don’t need to remember or write anything down, and both sleeves are knitted exactly the same way. The disadvantage of this method is that constantly moving the knitting and changing the thread after each row - this greatly slows down the work process. As a result, I knitted a branch on top of the sleeve and it turned out to be 2 repeats in height. To widen the sleeve, you need to add 16 points. The increases are distributed evenly along the entire length of the sleeve and are made at the bottom of the sleeve, in an inconspicuous place. We close the sleeves and sew them to our first part. We hide the threads and the sweater is ready! The sweater turned out to be stylish and noticeable; already on the first walk, passersby complimented it!

Add 1 stitch on both sides in the 7th row, then in every 10th row 3 times, then in every 8th row 3 times, then in every 6th row 4 times (total 11 stitches on each sides). Finish the sleeve on the 12th purl row of the leaf pattern (at its widest part) = 65 stitches. Loosely close the loops.

Knit the second sleeve in the same way.

Completion

Lightly steam the parts.

Sew shoulder seams.

Neck trim

From the front side, attach the thread to the left shoulder and on 4 mm circular needles, evenly raise 84 loops along the neckline. Place a marker at the beginning and join the row into a circle. Knit 2 knits, 2 purls with an elastic band about 6-7 cm and bind off all the loops according to the pattern.

Sew side seams and sleeve seams.
