The sweater is gradually moving from everyday style into a more formal business style. This is not surprising, it is comfortable and warm - just what you need for working on cold winter or autumn evenings. However, in this case, it is important to carefully choose the color scheme; it should not be bright and provocative. For example, a sweater with a combination of white and black colors would be a good option.
Some tips for knitting sweaters:
- Determine the correct size. To do this, just measure your chest volume. For example, for a chest with a volume of 81 cm, size 40 or XS is suitable.
- Prepare yarn and knitting needles in advance.
- Before starting work, make a test sample of 10*10 cm to accurately determine the number of loops. So in the model below, 22 loops and 28 rows are enough for this pattern.
Sweater with black and white stripes
Necessary materials:
- 200 g gray yarn (135 m / 50 g);
- 150 g each of black and white yarn (135 m / 50 g);
- Knitting needles No. 3 and 4.
Important: The materials of the finished product are designed for sizes 42-44.
Back
Start on size 3 needles and cast on 104 stitches. Knit the next 8 cm with an elastic band, alternating 2 LP and 2 PI. After this, replace the knitting needles with number 4 and continue knitting all rows of LP.
Knit rows, alternating thread colors:
- 36 rub. – alternate 6 rows of gray and black;
- 40 rub. – gray;
- 36 rub. – alternate 6 rows with white and 6 rows with gray.
- Knit the remaining rows only in white.
When the length of the fabric reaches 44 cm, begin designing the armholes. To do this, close 3 loops on each side. Next, in the next even row, decrease 8 stitches. There will be 82 stitches left on the needles.
When the total length of the product increases by another 20 cm, bind off the middle 30 loops. Finish each side separately.
To smoothly round the cutout from the inside in even rows, close 3 loops once and 2 more loops once.
After knitting 62 cm from the beginning, bind off all the loops.
Before
Knit the front of the sweater like the back.
After knitting 54 cm, bind off 20 loops located in the middle. In each of the resulting parts, from the inside in even rows, close 3 loops 1 time, then 2 times 2 and 1 loop 5 times.
When the length of the back and front are the same, bind off the remaining loops.
Sleeves
Knitting the sleeves begins with black thread on needles No. 3. Cast on 54 loops for each sleeve. Knit 9 cm, alternating 2 LP and 2 PI. Then change the needles to number 4 and continue knitting only LP. During the knitting process, alternate colors in the same way as the front and back.
Having knitted 8 rows on each side in this way, add 11 loops. After this, there will be 76 loops on the knitting needles.
When the length of the sleeves is 45 cm, bind off 3 loops on each side.Next, in even rows, reduce the number of loops by another 2, then by another 12 and 7 times 1 loop each.
At a distance of 60 cm from the beginning of knitting the sleeves, bind off all loops.
Assembly
Stretch all the connected parts according to the sizes indicated on the pattern, wet them a little and leave them like that until dry.
Sew on the sleeves, sew on the sides of the back and front. This must be done with a special seam along the front side. Fold the pieces with the wrong sides inward. Insert the needle alternately into the ties between the back and front loops as shown in the picture. While sewing, tighten the seam from time to time, but do not do it too much.
After all the seams, knit a long collar. To do this, cast on the number 3 knitting needles on the loops located along the edge of the cutout on the front and back sides. There should be 100 of them, it is important to distribute them evenly on each side. Next, knit 20 cm with an elastic band, alternating 2 LPs and 2 PIs. Close all loops. The sweater with black and white stripes is ready!
