Knitted velor yarn sweater

There is a special yarn that requires a separate article - this is velor. Let's take a closer look at this soft yarn and look at two cool, stylish velor sweater models. Sweaters for women and men are always relevant, especially in the cold season.

Features of velor yarn

Of course, velor is an artificial fiber. But the thread is so soft, pleasant and even warm that knitters use it in their knitted products. They love to touch it during the crafting process. The result is a fashionable, beautiful and voluminous product. But the most important thing is that it retains its original appearance for a very long time, since the fabric does not wrinkle.

These toys are created by the hands of a master and are based on velor. You can only imagine what kind of soft toys these are. Children will definitely like them, and any girl will be delighted with such a gift, no matter how old she gets. There are a lot of such touching pictures. But I would like to switch to velor sweaters as soon as possible. And they are no less lovely.

Step by step how to knit a sweater (jumper) from velor yarn with knitting needles

Here they are, these amazing and fashionable sweaters. Very pleasant to the body. Two fashionable models that can be created in one evening. The yarn is very large and some craftsmen take only 2-3 hours to make a huge sweater.

For beginners, a set of first loops is below:

Women's velor sweater

A very chic velor sweater for women. Moreover, the model looks equally good on both a girl and a lady over 40. Add accessories, and then you can’t take your eyes off the created image.

To work you will need:

• gray velor yarn;
• knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread.

Sample

First we knitted a small square according to the given fabric pattern. It was used to determine how many loops and how many rows are contained in 10 cm. These two numbers are the knitting density. Only the density will help to further correctly calculate how many loops will be needed to complete the back, right and left front panels, sleeves and, accordingly, the hood of the sweater.

Back

The model is designed for size 46 and therefore all measurements are created for this size. For the first set, you should dial 8 repeats with braids. Knit 30 cm without adding stitches. Next, make small decreases for the armhole. To do this, first cast off 2 loops on each side in the first row, and cast off three loops in the next row. A total of 5 loops should be closed. Then knit 22 cm and completely stop knitting the back. For the neckline, you will need to close 20 middle loops at a height of 19 cm. Next, in each row, close 2 loops from each edge.

Front right/left shelf

The model will have a zipper in the center and therefore the shelves should be equal in size and exactly 2 times narrower than the back part. Knit each piece in the same way as the back, but simply divide it into 2 parts.That is, initially the set is not 8, but 4 reports. At the same height there will be a cutout to the neckline and to the armhole of the sleeves.

Sleeves

For each sleeve the width is 4 reports. Knitting occurs to a height of 36 cm, then you will need to close 4 loops on each side in each row, and continue knitting until you have knitted another 10 cm.

Hood

Before knitting the hood, you will need to sew the shelves and back. Then cast on stitches along the edge of the cutout for 9 repeats of the pattern. Knit braids to a height of 30 cm and close the loops so that the pattern stops in the middle of the braid (the middle between two intersections). Then combine the ends of the hood and sew them with an invisible seam so as not to displace the pattern.

Assembly

Sew in the sleeves and sew the side seams. Now all that remains is to sew in a zipper and make the sweater feminine using crochet stitching.

Crochet processing: for processing you will need a small elastic band and velor yarn. Using an elastic band will create a thicker edge. Work like this along the edge of the hood and along the edge of each sleeve. Do not pull the elastic on the hood, but pull it tighter on the sleeves to create a small gather.

So a fashionable and very feminine sweater is ready. In it, a woman will look very feminine, and will not become a teddy bear.

Men's sweater made of velor threads

Men's models of velor sweaters (jumpers) are no less attractive. And the following photo helps to verify this. She is wearing a simple raglan sweater made using unusual velor threads. It looks very dignified, and if the velor in a woman’s blouse made her look fragile and delicate, the men’s model, on the contrary, makes it heavier and emphasizes her massive shoulders.

The work will require:

• yarn with velor threads;
• knitting needles of the appropriate number for the thread.

Sample

Using the main pattern of the fabric, you will need to knit a small sample. The velor thread is very thick and therefore it will be enough to cast on only 20 loops and knit about 30 rows. Next, using a ruler, calculate how many loops and how many rows 10 cm can withstand. These two numbers will make up the knitting density. Using them, you can then calculate the required number of loops for casting on.

Back and front shelf

In this model, the raglan sweater starts at the bottom elastic and continues up to the collar. The front front and back are knitted in one piece in the round. For the initial cast on for size 50 you will need to cast on 180 stitches. Knit 10 rows using 1*1 elastic. Next, switch to circular knitting in stockinette stitch, knit another 37 cm, and simply put the work aside.

Sleeves

For each sleeve, knit 76 stitches in circular knitting. First, 10 rows of 1*1 elastic, and then again the stockinette stitch to a height of 40 cm.

Raglan

Connect all the parts and now knit a large circle upwards with a gradual decrease in raglan. To do this, make decreases at the joints (knit together a loop from one part and a loop from the second part). Knit until you have the desired neckline. In this model, the raglan is made to a height of 15 cm. Then, use an elastic band 1*1 to make 4 cm and close the loops using the elastic edge.

So the sweater is ready, the fastest and without the slightest stitching.

Making beautiful things is easy. Even a beginner can handle it. Moreover, many models are so simple that you just follow the instructions and you get a gorgeous product.
