Knitted pullover
Knitting is not an easy thing and before you start, you should familiarize yourself with the necessary stages of work. By following the given order, you will make your work easier and get an excellent result:
- The first stage is choosing the style of the future item. To make your final choice, you should clarify the following parameters: what time of year you will wear it; The presence of a sleeve and its length; knitting direction (bottom or raglan); plain or colored option; what pattern will you use? Only after finding out the answers to these questions and selecting the appropriate model can we proceed to the next stage.
- The second stage is taking measurements, creating a pattern and making calculations. To calculate knitting, you will need to measure the circumference of the chest, waist, hips and neck. As well as the volume of the wrist and forearm. In addition, you will need to measure the length of the back and arm. Using the data obtained, create a pattern. Knit a sample of the future fabric and wash it. Measure how many loops and rows fit into a 10x10 cm square. Based on the pattern, calculate the increases and decreases.
- Next we choose the yarn. Focus on the purpose of the future pullover. For a summer model, choose a light fiber: cotton, silk, viscose, bamboo or linen. For the winter option, wool, alpaca, and mohair are great. For demi-season clothing, choose high-quality acrylic.
- If you are not a professional, start with simple patterns. If you want a more complex item, choose patterns based on alternating knit and purl stitches.
The easiest way to knit a pullover is to use a ready-made description from a magazine.
Crochet pullover
Undoubtedly, crocheted products are more attractive and elegant. But crocheting it is much more difficult than knitting.
The preparatory stage for this work is the same as for the knitting work, but there are significant differences:
- Threads for crocheted items should be thin; it is advisable to purchase those that indicate a ratio of at least 300 meters per 100 grams, but 500/100 is best suited. The item knitted from the last option will turn out to be especially delicate and delicate. Important! If you want a figure-hugging pullover, use stretch yarn. It is available in summer and winter versions. Using threads with the addition of lurex and sequins, you will get a very elegant, stylish item.
Attention! Crochet products often shrink after washing, so make a small allowance when calculating loops. When creating a pattern, do not forget to add a centimeter on both sides for a loose fit.
- To sew together individual parts, it is better to use a thin thread that matches the yarn used. Also use a special knitting needle.
- While knitting, apply the fragment to the pattern more often. This way, you will be able to track errors in calculations in time and avoid tying the fabric.
- There is a huge variety of crochet patterns. Their choice depends on what technique the product will be knitted in: Irish lace, fillet mesh or lace fabric. In fillet knitting, the pattern is obtained by alternating fully knitted mesh cells, partial knitting and empty cells.
The Irish method is based on assembling a single canvas from individual fragments. Lace fabric is the simplest and most understandable type. All his patterns are built on various combinations of columns and air loops. The easiest way is to find a ready-made pullover knitting pattern with a detailed description and follow the instructions.
