We begin to knit a jacket. What is needed for this?

If you are thinking about what would be nice to tie a jacket to a new season, do not neglect simple rules that will save time and achieve a good result in the shortest possible time. In our article, we will not describe the scheme of any particular jacket. It's about choosing a model of knitted sweaters, basic principles and nuances of knitting.

Model Selection

This is the first stage of the work. If the threads from which you are planning to knit a product, you do not yet, then boldly start to choose any silhouette and pattern. It can be winter warm and cozy specimens, light knitted blouses, worn which is supposed to be a cool summer evening. Think through all the options and only then make a decision. Often, going to knit a sweater of a certain model, we radically change the decision. And all because on eyes instead of a warm winter turtlenke the amazing open-work summer jacket has got. Only when the question with the model has been determined precisely, one can think about buying threads.

Choosing a thread

• Knitting magazines, as a rule, indicate how much yarn and what quality we need. Make an adjustment to your height and weight. If it is indicated that 800 g is needed, and you are not easy to call a inch at height 194 cm, and weight is not less than 110 kg, then do not think that this will be enough. Of course, this is not a serious example! But still pay attention to the weight, the number of meters in the skein. Also consider the number of shades in the selected option. If you plan to make a one-color model, then necessarily sum all the yarn by weight.
• Colour. Knitting women's sweatshirts should be carried out necessarily taking into account the pattern and color. Strange as it may seem, but the same pattern, connected from one yarn, but executed in different colors, can differ significantly in appearance. Paradoxically, but, nevertheless, it's worth considering! With the drawing, you can get the same thing. You bought a stunningly beautiful yarn, chose an amazing pattern, and all together looks absolutely neutral. And the yarn is not visible, and the drawing is lost in this color. In this case, you just need to select another drawing. And maybe another model ...

Why knit a pattern?

This question is asked by many beginner needlewomen and almost never heard from experienced craftsmen. The fact is that tying the sample takes a certain time. However, if you do not spend 10 minutes in the beginning, then you risk starting to knit a sweater again. Everything is extremely simple. The sample is tied to see how the selected yarn looks in this figure. And just so that you can correctly calculate the number of loops and not make a mistake with the size. After all, having spent a lot of time on making the product, it will be very insulting to see that it is either not being pulled over you, or hanging in all possible places! Therefore, starting to knit a sweater, do not be lazy and first knit a pattern! Knitting is a very exciting and creative process. If you just start and stop, you're hardly likely or able to. In addition, you can knit not only yourself, your husband, children and girlfriends. You can create clothes for your four-legged pets. After all, it also happens to be cold in winter. And how funny are the little dogs, dressed in stylish and beautiful knitted things!
