Crochet women's sweater

Crochet sweaters look unusual and extremely stylish. The hook can easily revive yarn of any composition. Thick types can make decent winter warm models, charming and very feminine.

Thin yarns with unusual composition and fancy varieties can also be used to create sweaters. Here the curtain opens and you can explore several trending styles for the upcoming season.

Selection of yarn and hook

When working on a crochet sweater, yarn is important. Eat The basic rule, for example, is that too tacky types are best used for a smooth canvas. Otherwise, the pattern itself may be lost, and the elegant curves of the intricate design will be disrupted. It is very rare to find a combination that is truly suitable - this comes with experience.

The hook is selected depending on the thickness of the thread for the model. Sweaters are rarely knitted in two threads. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the yarn and its thickness; you can consult the most suitable hook number from the seller himself. Let's look at the different models in detail with a description of the work.

Set of loops

It is a mistaken opinion to start casting air loops without measurements and without creating a sample and simply apply it to the model.

These are just air loops and they do not carry accuracy relative to the sample. Such loops can be easily stretched or tied very tightly.

Important! Before any cast-on, you should take measurements, and be sure to create a sample for counting stitches.

Knitting pattern

Beginners are often mistaken and refuse the sample, believing that this idea is only suitable for pioneers of the craft. But even experienced craftsmen make such samples before knitting each of their products. So they receive information regarding the first set of loops.

Some tips on knitting a pattern for beginners:

• the sample is knitted from approximately 20-30 chain stitches;
• height reaches just over 10 cm;
• using a ruler, estimate how many pattern elements are contained in 10 cm (vertically and horizontally);
• Based on the data obtained, the number of loops is calculated using a mathematical equation.

This helps to calculate the most accurate set of loops and the first step to creating a masterpiece.

Step-by-step instructions for crocheting a sweater

A small selection of two chic models of women's sweaters, which are created using a crochet hook and different compositions of yarn.

Three-color crochet sweater

A lovely model of three colors in a discreet palette. This casual style is very comfortable and warm, despite the honeycomb pattern.

To work you will need:

• yarn of three colors (restrained shades);
• hook number 3.

A very simple pattern is used in the model. The typical sweater cut keeps the sweater simple and easy to blend into everyday style. The whole pattern consists of three double crochets and an air loop.. First you need to knit a sample and calculate the number of loops for the front, back front and sleeves.

Front shelf/back

Cast on air loops to size. Next, 7 cm of elastic according to the given diagram.

Then switch to the main pattern and knit up to the armhole intended for the sleeves. Knit a few more cm and you can start cutting out the neckline.

Important! For a neat and smooth transition in the armhole, you need to knit single crochets and then connecting stitches.

Knit separately, after cutting the neckline, the right and left hangers. Close the hinges and the front shelf is ready. The back shelf, if attached to the front, practically merges with it, but the neckline will be half as large. To do this, you need to start it several rows later than at the front shelf.

The sleeves for this model have an elastic band 7 cm thick. Next is the pattern of the canvas and gradual expansion towards the shoulder. Do the extension as smoothly as the armhole. Add one repeat in every 4th row. At the top, make a small bevel into two repeats for the armhole.

Product assembly:

• shoulder seams;
• sewing in sleeves;
• side seams on sleeves;
• side seams along the shelves.

All that remains is to make an elastic band along the neckline, similar to the pattern on the sleeves. And the product is ready, you can try it on.

White openwork crochet sweater

Chic radiant white sweater model. The very thin openwork is made of a thin thread of natural silk. This sweater will be very comfortable even in warm weather.

To work you will need:

• white silk yarn;
• hook number 1.75.

Quite a simple model with square sleeves. The seam is almost imperceptible, because the openwork is very small and in different directions.

The front and back begin the same way with an elastic band and knitting needles. The diagram is given and you need to complete the required size set and start immediately with the elastic band. Make a height of 10 cm of elastic band and then to the openwork pattern. Knit up to the armhole and close it evenly and squarely by 2 cm on each side.

Knit the front front and back to the neck (the back front has a higher neckline). Make the cutouts using neat bevels and knit the shoulders.

Important! If it is difficult to switch from an elastic band with knitting needles directly to a fabric crochet, then you can first knit without an elastic band, and then simply pick up the edge loops and knit the finished product.

Sleeves knit strictly rectangular parts of each sleeve. Then, after merging to the base, you can cast on loops in a circle with knitting needles and make an elastic band according to the pattern. Height and width are selected individually. But the height of the elastic band remains unchanged and is 10 cm.

Assembly of parts. Sew the front front and back with shoulder seams, then sew on the sleeves and make the final side seams. All that remains is to make an elastic band for the neck using knitting needles. Here is another lovely model ready.
