A jacket is a universal item in the wardrobe. If earlier it referred exclusively to business style of clothing, now everything has changed. Now it can even be used for meetings and relaxing with friends, the main thing is to choose the right style.
For business meetings, a straight-cut jacket with long sleeves is suitable. For more relaxed meetings, you should choose fitted options with short sleeves. The most popular are jackets with ¾ sleeves.
Young girls should not limit themselves to plain jackets. Now at the peak of popularity are models decorated with all kinds of decorative elements. It is also worth paying attention to knitted jacket models.
Knitted jacket
This version of the jacket is perfect for a girl, as it is knitted from bright yarn. If desired, you can make it more strict by knitting it from a single-color yarn and making the collar smaller.
Necessary materials:
- Yarn (95 m/50 g) – 550 g.
- Knitting needles No. 6, 7.
The finished product size is 36.
Progress
Start knitting on needles No. 6, cast on 64 loops and knit 3 cm of LP. After this, change the knitting needles to number 7 and continue knitting. Having knitted 10 rows on these knitting needles, start shaping the waist line. To do this, decrease 1 loop on each side, cast off 1 loop on both sides 3 times in each 8th row.
Then, with a difference of 8 rows, add 1 loop 4 times.
When the length of the fabric reaches 40 cm, form an armhole cutout by decreasing 2 loops on each side. Next, decrease 4 stitches in each even row.
At a height of 57 cm, reduce the number of loops by casting off the middle 16 loops.
To make the neckline more rounded, close from the inside in even rows 1 time, 3 loops, 2 loops and 1 loop, respectively.
After knitting a total of 60 cm, bind off all remaining stitches.
Shelves
The left and right fronts are knitted similarly, but in a mirror image.
Knit the right front on needles No. 7, casting 22 loops on them and knit completely LP.
The bottom edge should be rounded. To do this, in even rows, add 2 loops three times and 1 loop twice. Next, with a difference of 4 rows, add 1 loop twice.
By analogy with the back, shape the waist.
After knitting 19 cm, decrease for the neckline. They are performed as follows: on the right side, decrease 1 loop. Next, with a difference of 6 rows, decrease 6 more times by 1 loop. After this, bind off 1 loop 7 times in every fourth row.
At a height of 37 cm, make decreases for the armhole according to the description of the back.
When the length of the front is equal to the long back, close all the loops.
Sleeves
It is better to knit both sleeves at the same time. To do this, cast on 36 stitches on needles No. 6. Knit the next rows with LP.
Having knitted 6 cm in this way, change the needles to number 7.Having knitted 16 rows on these knitting needles, add 1 loop twice on each side. Next, with a difference of 14 rows, add a loop twice more.
At a height of 45 cm, make a sleeve cap, closing 2 loops on each side, then casting off 1 loop 14 more times. When the sleeve length reaches 60 cm, close all loops.
Collar
The collar is knitted with teeth. Cast on 6 stitches on size 6 needles.
- 1 z.: 1 r. – 1 CP, 1 LP, yo, 1 LP, 1 yo, LP to the end of the row.
- 2 r. – LP.
- From rows 3 to 9, knit, alternating rows 1 and 2.
- 10 rub. – close the first 5 loops, then LP.
- Repeat rows 1 to 9 again. In rows 10, make decreases according to the pattern.
- 2-4 loops: cut 5 loops.
- 5-10 points: cast off 6 loops.
- 11 z.: close 7 loops.
- 12 chains: cut 8 loops.
- Ch. 13: cast off 9 stitches.
- 14-15 z.: decrease 10 loops.
Try on the collar at the edges of the jacket from the side seam. Once you reach your shoulders, stop decreasing. Next, cast off 10 stitches twice every 10 stitches. When you reach the middle of your back, stop knitting. Knit the second part of the collar in the same way.
Assembly
Stretch the parts according to the diagram to the required sizes. Sew shoulder seams, sew in sleeves. Sew the collar with a hidden seam and fold it onto the right side of the finished jacket.
