Today we invite you to try knitting an original and at the same time simple sweater for a girl. A detailed description of each stage will help even a novice needlewoman cope with the work.

Technique for performing the work

For work, prepare:

yarn LIRA 50 g / 150 m – 4 skeins;
knitting needles 2 mm;
stitching needle.

In the master class we will knit a sweater for 6 years old.

Technique for performing the work

Start knitting the product from the bottom. Up to the armhole, knit the back, front and sleeves separately. Then connect the pieces and continue knitting in the round until the neckline.

The elastic will look much more beautiful if, instead of regular knit stitches, you use crossed knit stitches (i.e. loops knitted behind the front wall).

How to knit front sweaters

Cast on 80 loops on the knitting needles and knit 3 - 4 cm with an elastic band:

1 row – 1 edge loop, * 1 knit behind the front wall, 1 purl loop, * 1 edge loop; repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Knit the 2nd and subsequent rows according to the pattern, knitting the front loops at the front.

Now add 14 stitches. To do this, knit two from every fifth loop. 94 loops are formed on the knitting needles.

Up to the armhole, approximately 27 - 30 cm, knit the front part of the sweater in stockinette stitch, without adding or subtracting stitches.

1 row - facial loops;
Row 2 – purl stitches.

Transfer the work to stocking needles, and move on to working with the back.

Knitting a sweater back

Cast on 80 stitches on the knitting needles and knit 3 - 4 cm with an elastic band and increase stitches to 94, as indicated above.

There is a pattern running along the back that will add some color to your product. Therefore, distribute the loops as follows:

1 edge stitch, 36 stockinette stitches, 19 pattern stitches, 37 stockinette stitches and 1 edge stitch.

Knit the pattern according to the pattern below.

Knit purl rows according to the pattern. The filled squares are for symmetry and indicate the absence of a loop; do not pay attention to them when working.

Having knitted 27 - 30 cm to the armhole, transfer the work to stocking needles and proceed to working with the sleeves.

How to knit sleeves with knitting needles

Cast on 40 stitches on the knitting needles and knit with an elastic band of 4 cm.

Add 15 loops. A total of 65 loops are formed.

Now distribute them evenly: 1 edge stitch, 22 knit stitches, 19 pattern stitches, 22 satin stitches, 1 edge stitch.

Knit with fabric, without adding or subtracting stitches for the length of the sleeve to the armhole, I got 30 cm.

If desired, the drawing can be moved to the right or left. When finished, transfer the sleeve to the stocking needle.

Knit the second sleeve in a similar way and also transfer it to stocking needles.

How to knit raglan with knitting needles

Thus, you have knitted four pieces up to the armhole. To knit raglan, arrange them in the required order:

back;
sleeve;
front part;
sleeve.

Please note that the product lies with the wrong side down, the front side up.

Start knitting the sweater completely, in the round. For convenience, knit 3-4 rows, following the pattern, but without making a raglan.

Now knit the raglan. To do this, when knitting the back and front, in each row, decrease one loop on each side, leaving 2 - 3 stitches for the raglan, i.e. Knit the third and fourth loops on each side together.

Since you have fewer loops on the sleeves - 65, here decrease on each side through the row, also leaving 2 - 3 loops for raglan.

As a result, you will get a beautiful and even strip of raglan.

Continue working until you have knitted the entire armhole.

Making a neckline with knitting needles

Now you have thirty stitches left on four needles. It's time to move on to designing the neckline.

To highlight this area, knit 4 rows with a hollow elastic band:

Row 1 – knit 1, purl 1;
Row 2 – knit 1 knit stitch, remove the purl one, and leave the thread before working, and so on.

Then knit 3 - 4 cm with a regular elastic band and bind off the loops.

You need to finish the work correctly so that the neck does not tighten the product and at the same time does not hang. Pay attention to the correct closure of the elastic loops. This is not difficult to do, the video tutorial will help you with this.
