Cardigan is a truly unique thing. At least several models of this little thing are in the wardrobe of any woman. With a little skill and a great desire, you can tie yourself a new thing in anticipation of the cold weather. Cardigans are knitted and crocheted. In this article we will analyze both options.
Knitted cardigans, new models
Knitted cardigans are worn both in the cold and in the warm seasons. Summer models are decorated with openwork and airy patterns. Among the insulated models, the most relevant cardigans-coat with a fastener and without, pockets. There are models with fur collars.
Very large knitting is also in fashion. Here, braids, aranas and other voluminous patterns look harmoniously. Another trend - Lalo - a cardigan with a color transition from lighter to dark or vice versa. Volume braids are taken as its basis. There are tons of instructional videos. In order to tie a creative Lalo cardigan, even experienced craftswomen need more than one week.
Therefore, today we will focus on simpler, but no less effective models of blouses, which are not so difficult to do with your own hands and quite quickly.
Selection of yarn and tools
For lightweight, versatile models, it is worth choosing cotton-based material. Perfectly keep the shape of cotton with viscose. You can also use strings of acrylic. Acrylic yarn is soft to the touch, pleasant to wear, does not shrink when washed. You can use yarn made of linen, silk and other types.
IMPORTANT: Acrylic products accumulate static electricity and, when exposed to ultraviolet rays, can lose their shape over time.
For insulated cardigans, thick woolen threads are best suited. They are made from 100% sheep wool. Often, acrylic is added to them so that the product keeps its shape better. Often used yarn from merino wool, it is soft and delicate, her thread is thin. You can also use refined cashmere, mohair, angora, etc.
Sweatshirts can be knitted or crocheted. Usually, warmer, three-dimensional cut models are knitted with needles, while crocheting turns delicate and elegant products (photo).
We knit a cardigan
Different knitting methods are used for different patterns. They differ in the ways of knitting the sleeve:
- Raglan bottom.
- Raglan on top.
- Vtachnoy.
- One-piece seamless.
There are so many patterns. Choosing them is based on the purpose of the product. For the insulated model, beautiful voluminous patterns are suitable: braids, aranas, in the form of hexagons, alternating knitting of the front and back rows or loops also look great. They are the most simple in execution, but they look original and unusual.
