Knitting cardigans with knitting needles. Elegant model with a wide tight hip belt on the buckle, turn-down collar-a shawl and a loose-open top

Knitting by many women is not perceived as hard work, but rather, on the contrary, as an opportunity for self-expression, the embodiment of one's creativity and even as a process of cure for nervous diseases. On a special place here is the making of large things, for example, knitting cardigans with knitting needles.

Cardigans are a certain kind of warm outerwear, a big jacket. They are very fashionable today. But it is worth noting that the model of this wonderful clothes came to us from a distant past. However, then the cardigans were sewn, beautifully decorated with skilful embroidery, and wore them mostly as a dressed, weekend dress.

Today, cardigans are worn as a casual outfit, using them for warmth, and as an elegant outfit model on the way out. All depends on the selected style and material for the manufacture of the product.

In ancient times, cardigans were sewn from dense fabric. Knitting cardigans with knitting needles appeared much later, but very soon became one of the favorite needlework classes. This can be both knitting cardigans for men, and knitting female cardigans. Possessing certain skills, it is easy to master knitting with knitting needles of a cardigan model for every taste: as elongated, freely hanging from the shoulders, with one clasp on top, and free from above, but tightly fastened with a wide belt from below.

By the way, a wide belt buckle at the bottom, very similar to a short, narrow skirt, is well suited for women with not very wide hips, but already having a small tummy, for young mothers with not quite yet formed waist after birth and for pregnant women. After all, knitting cardigans with knitting needles with a wide belt below suggests a rather loose sagging on top of the model, which together with a tight-fitting wide belt creates the impression of harmony.

Begin knitting cardigans with knitting needles from the preparation patterns of the model. The back is slightly longer than the usual jacket, the sleeves are extended downwards. Before the model should be foreseeable. That is, the shelves should be flipped at the very bottom by 20 centimeters. Patterns are laid out on an old blanket on a large table or on the floor.

The main details of the cardigan are supposed to be knit in one thread with thin knitting needles with usual viscous facial loops. After the back, shelves and sleeves are connected, the parts are washed and laid out on top of the patterns, and along the edges they are sewn with sewing pins. In this position, the parts must dry and take the desired shape.

While the main details dry, you need to perform finishing: cuffs and belt. These details are best knit in two threads with thicker knitting needles "elastic 2X2" so that the cuffs and belt are sewn to the product across the main picture.

For the belt, loops are collected in such quantity as the width of the belt is required for the conceived model. The length of this piece must match the bottom of the sewn shelves and back. After the belt is fastened, it must be sewn by the side to the bottom of the product. On the belt have either large buttons (2 or 3 pieces), or straps with shoe buckles - it depends on the taste and direction in the clothes of the person to whom this item is intended.

To tie a collar - a shawl, you should take the already sewn model (without a belt) and collect on the edges of the shelves and the neck of the back of the loop on the circular knitting needles. The number of hinges should be such that the last on the front side of the collar at both ends was 2 facial loops. Thus, the figure of the collar (except the back) is also located across the main picture. Having knitted 5 rows of elastic band 2X2, we begin to reduce the collar, decorating its bevel at the bottom symmetrically on both sides.

To do this, on the collar at the waist we subtract each row by one loop, but not the extreme, but the fourth, leaving 1 edge and 2 facial (edging). This will make the edge of the collar neat, smooth roundness, as if trimmed edge strip in two facial loops. When the fabric of the collar reaches a width (measured along the length of the gum) 20 cm, you need to completely close the collar.

This is done like this: two edging facial bindings, the second being tied together with two from the collar strip, turning the product and knitting in the opposite direction 2 purl and edge. Then again unfold the product and repeat the report: the edge is removed, 1 front, 3 together facing and turning. So it is necessary to knit up to the middle of the neck of the back, then the remaining two facial ones to close.

The second half of the collar remained on the spoke. It is also closed, like the first half of the collar, until there are also 2 face loops left on the spoke. With a careful seam, you need to connect two loops closed before and the remaining two loops.

Under a cardigan, you need to put on a blouse, since the top of it swings open. But if in the form of providing an additional buckle that holds the shelves, then you can put on a model without a blouse. For mature women, you should think about trousers or a narrow skirt, combined with a cardigan. Well, young and creative girls can be flaunted and with bare legs, especially if the cardigan is sufficiently elongated. And let all the men and boys curl up their necks, looking after the beauty, proudly walking in a chic, fashionable, elegant clothes, made with their own skillful pens!
