How to knit a children's sweater: a detailed master class
Girls have a love for beautiful things since childhood. Each strives to imitate her mother and look stylish and beautiful. Today I propose to knit an interesting model of a sweater that will appeal to many fashionistas. It is not difficult to knit a product, you can choose the pattern that you like best, but do not forget to calculate the loops correctly, because with a different yarn density, their number changes.
In this case, the winter version of the Premier yarn from Pekhorka was used. The thread is thick, but rather soft, drawings with braids, rhombuses and other volumetric figures look good. The high gate lies beautifully.
Collar and top of the sweater
For a sweater for a girl of 6 years old, I needed 2 skeins of yarn.
The product is knitted according to the raglan type. As you know, there are two options for tying raglan from the bottom and from the top. I used the second method. To do this, cast on 52 loops on the circular needles and knit with an English elastic band 12 cm.If you are using thinner yarn, then the number of loops will be greater. Therefore, having knitted a little, try on so that the head passes freely in a circle.
This turned out the collar of the item. From bulky yarn, it turns out to be delicate, soft and cozy. Now, the main thing is to correctly distribute the loops into four parts (front, back and two sleeves). If you have a different number of loops, then distribute yourself. Please note that the number of loops for raglan need not be increased, but on the back and in front we leave loops twice as many as on the sleeves.
I got it like this: 12 loops - a "braid" pattern, 4 loops - on a raglan, 6 loops - on a sleeve, 4 loops - a raglan, 12 loops - a "braid" pattern, 4 loops - on a raglan, 6 loops - on a sleeve, 4 loops - for raglan. Knit down, adding one stitch on each side of the raglan until you knit to the level of the armhole. When adding loops, do not forget about the drawing. Even with thick yarn, I got 170 loops.
The "braid" pattern is shown below, the designations are standard:
- - seamy surface;
- o - yarn;
- empty cell - front surface;
- in the ninth row, a pigtail is intertwined;
- and between the crochets, knit 2 loops together, 1 broach.
Knit the sleeves with the wrong stitch, i.e. knit purl loops on the front side, and front loops on the seamy side. If your yarn is thinner, you can try to knit a pearl pattern.
After knitting the required number of rows to the armhole, close the loops on the sleeves and continue knitting down in a circle to the end of the product. Close the hinges.
The sweater for the girl is ready!
