Oversized crochet sweater

Many girls at school knitted napkins. Usually, beginners like simple patterns, so many only have memories of easy crochet loops. But it also has complex elements. Moreover, complex patterns of such knitting can even heal. This fact was noticed by the doctors themselves, since loops are constantly counted and this distracts from sad thoughts.

All a person needs is to think about good things and be busy. And today we’ll do a very pleasant activity - crocheting an oversized sweater.

Selection of yarn and hooks

Almost all the yarn that is available on store shelves is suitable for crocheting. The only exceptions are wool yarn with thin threads and boucle yarn. The hook is always chosen after the yarn and even together with it. More experienced craftsmen will easily make this choice by eye, and for beginners it is better to ask the seller.

Moreover, it is also interesting that experienced needlewomen often do not even think about the most suitable crochet numbers.And a little secret, many people can knit with the wrong numbers of hooks.

For example, many shell patterns for greater airiness even recommend that the craftsman take a hook that is not the right size, but several sizes larger.

Such a canvas will be more voluminous.

Important! Yarn quite often has useful information in its description about which knitting needles and hook are suitable for it.

The hook model can be chosen not only depending on its size. The material itself from which the manufacturers made the tool can be: wood, metal, soft metal. There are also very interesting models with a combination. For example, the hook itself is made of metal, and the handle is made of wood or plastic. The exclusive hooks are beautiful and convenient; there is nothing to say about the palette of shades.

Step-by-step instructions for crocheting an oversized sweater

The patterns themselves for crochet and knitting needles can be similar. But in fact, the hook has one minus, which then turns into a plus. The bottom line is that a fabric created by crochet will always turn out denser than that of knitting needles, which is why individual parts are very rarely crocheted using patterns. After all, the seam will then be too massive (thick). The solution is to learn how to create seamless parts.

Only a beginner is unlikely to like a single piece - it’s still difficult for him. That’s why we’ll look at the not yet complete model of an oversized sweater, which can also be crocheted.

Knitting the back

The back of the oversized sweater is longer. This is the meaning of this product. It is quite voluminous and therefore, when measuring, you always need to make a large reserve.

Important! For beginners, we show how to crochet the first loops in the diagram and photo below:

Initially, as with crocheting, you need to create a small sample. The pattern in the sample should match the pattern from which the sweater will be made.

Calculate the required number of loops and start with a set of air loops.

Pay attention to the bottom of the pattern - it is equal in width to the width of the shoulders. The model does not require an elastic band.

Some people ribbing in the round after creating the back and front pieces. In the case of a crochet stitch, you can go through several rows to smooth it out so as not to spoil the pattern of the fabric. We knit the fabric to shoulder height and attention. Here you will need to make a small bevel for the shoulders and, accordingly, a shallow neckline.

Important! According to the pattern model, the beginning of the bevel for the shoulders and the beginning of the neckline are located on the same level.

Before

The front part is just two peas in a pod from the back. Therefore, the beginning is similar and the knitting is practically no different. Two small details that distinguish the front shelf for an oversized sweater:

• The neckline is deeper;
• the part itself is shorter.

In order for the neckline to be deeper than on the back, you need to start it earlier. The bevel itself can be done in a similar way with symmetrical decreases.

Important! It’s not so difficult to decrease with a crochet hook, but so that high double crochets are not immediately interrupted by a sharp canyon, you just need to knit several smaller elements side by side, for example, single crochets and just connecting loops.

Sleeves

The trapezoid shape is the sleeves. In contrast to the details of the back and front front, you can first make an elastic band on the sleeves, and then make good additions for greater width in the shoulder area. Just don’t be too zealous, otherwise this model will go on to other voluminous sweater models.

Close the sleeve loops in a single straight line; no bevel is needed.

Assembly of finished parts

When every detail is ready.

Important! Many craftswomen connect parts using a hook, but the result can be a very rough seam. Therefore, it is better to entrust this matter to a needle.

Take your favorite knitting needle and sew. Many people prefer the needle-forward stitch - its quality is similar to machine stitching.

Here is the following sequence for connection:

• shoulder seams;
• sleeves to shelves;
• side seams on sleeves;
• side seams on the front and back panels.

Important! The pattern shows that the back piece is longer and therefore, when joining, you will need to slightly tighten the front shelf.

After all the seams are done, you can iron them a little.
