Hand-knitted baby sweaters will perfectly complement the wardrobe of the most picky fashionista . The choice of stylish models is so diverse that you can delight girls with wonderful new things all year round.
A beautiful sweater will also prove your concern for her fragile health. This is especially true in winter inclement weather or autumn damp. A few recommendations will help you in this difficult job.
What will be needed for work
With sufficient desire, you can get a stylish little thing on the first attempt. Moreover, the network has a lot of training materials and detailed workshops. Just be patient and assiduous. It is these two qualities that will allow you to get a warm and beautiful new thing from a ball of thread.
Choice of model and pattern
Before you go to the store to buy material, you should choose a model. For a beginner needlewoman, it is better to dwell on a simple option and a simple pattern.
Most suitable product, which runs from the bottom up and does not have complex parts: pockets, collar or belt.
Of the patterns, the simplest is the front surface . From the front, everything fits with l. n., and from the inside - and. P.
And also quite simple to perform handkerchief binding . In this case, all the loops are knitted as face.
Knitting needles
Having decided on the model, you can go to the store for materials.
Yarn
When buying yarn, it is worth considering several nuances.
- For the cold season, choose warm yarn : wool, mohair, alpaca or angora.
- For a summer evening, give preference to linen, cotton, silk or viscose.
- If you want to get a thing that you can wear in the offseason, use high- grade acrylic .
Reference! If you want to get beautiful, bright clothes, take colorful sectional yarn.
Knitting needles
- When choosing a knitting needle, look at the size . Typically, the yarn label contains information on which number to knit this thread.
- The thickness of the knitting needles can be determined by folding the thread of the future clothes in half: they must match.
- Not the last criterion will be the material of the purchased tool: wood, plastic or metal. A wooden tool is convenient, but quite fragile and prone to deformation.
Important! If you opted for metal knitting needles, wipe them well with a soft cloth before work. This will remove plaque from them that can stain yarn.
How to knit a sweater for a girl with knitting needles
After you have chosen a model and bought yarn, you should take measurements and build a pattern for the future product. To do this, measure the following parameters:
- girths of the waist, chest, neck;
- sweater length (measured along the back from the base of the neck to the supposed edge);
- the length of the sleeve.
Then, according to these sizes, a pattern is drawn and a sample is tied. On their basis, future work is calculated.
Important! When constructing a pattern, do not forget to throw a couple of centimeters from all sides on the seams and loose fitting.
A simple model for a beginner
If you picked up knitting needles for the first time, then this model will suit you best.
To have enough for a children's sweater, you need to purchase sectional dyeing yarn with the characteristics of 400g \ 100m and knitting needles 2.5. It is important to achieve compliance with the sample: 10x10 cm = 19 loops per 30 p., On a sweater for a nine-year-old girl you will need approximately 200 g (3 skeins of 100 g each or 4 skeins of 50 g each).
Patterns
The model is executed in two patterns.
- Facial surface: in 2, 4 and the remaining even ones - facial, in 1, 3, 5 and further in odd - wrong.
- "The rope." In each row, the first and last loops are edge. Then we make a pattern of two loops. The first is knitted on the wrong side, the second is removed (also on the wrong side), while holding the thread in front of the product. We knit the second row according to the drawing, while each loop is again removed as the wrong one, only the thread is this time at work. Alternate the first and second row.
Back
- The part is made of 82 loops. Now the “rope” is not performed on the entire product, but is diluted with satin finish (2 rows to 2 rows). Thus, we knit 38 cm in height.
- We continue to work with facial smoothness.
- To get an armhole, we make a decrease. On each side, we reduce 4 times 1 p. Loops are reduced in the second rows.
- Thus, we knit 10 cm, after that we close the central 18 loops. Next, we knit the back separately: the right and left sides of the neck.
- To round the neckline, we reduce the loops on the wrong side of the back. Rounding pattern: once - first 1, then 2 loops, then another three times 1 p.
- We make 2 more p. and finish knitting the back by closing all the loops.
Before
The front part fits in the same way. But so that the neckline is deeper, we begin to perform it already 6 cm after the armhole has been outlined. The first closure in the center is performed from 8 p.
Then, in each row, close on each side 1 time for 1 p., 1 time for 2 p., 3 times for 1 p.
Knit 1 p. without decreases, then deduct 1 p., another row without decreases, after which again 1 p.
Knit two rows without decrease and close all the loops.
Sleeves
Dial 82 loops and knit as follows. 2 p. "Rope", 2 p. front stitch, 2 - “rope”, (6 cm front stitch and 2 p. “rope”) repeat () to a height of 32 cm.
Next, knit the front surface. To perform a bevel of the sleeves, simultaneously with the second repetition of the pattern, reduce 1 point
Evenly in five rows, remove 6 p.
Then roll over the sleeve: in every second row you need to remove 4x1p, in every fourth 2x1p, in every second 3x1p. And on the next row, reduce two on one side and one loop on the other.
Repeat the next row in the same way. Then remove on the one hand 3 p., And on the other. Close the remaining loops. The second sleeve is the same.
An openwork sweater is best suited to protect your daughter from the cool of a summer evening. This stylish little thing is best done in plain material. Of course, you can use the multi-colored option, but there is a risk that the beauty and grace of the pattern will be lost during the game of colors.
For the manufacture of this model, cotton yarn 250-300 g \ 100m is best suited. You will also need knitting needles 3, 5 and 4.
The bottom of the product is made according to scheme 2, and the top according to scheme 1.
