Women's turtleneck made of fine yarn knitted

We are accustomed to the fact that a women's turtleneck is a thin knitted item that is bought in a store. But few people know that using a thin thread, you can create an unusual and interesting variation of the usual model with your own hands.

To do this, just show a little imagination and spend a few evenings of free time. But in this little thing you definitely won’t remain unnoticed.

This turtleneck is simply irreplaceable for women with figure problems. It will help hide both excess weight and loose skin on the neck.
We will tell you how to knit a turtleneck with knitting needles from thin yarn.

What yarn is suitable for knitting

The first step is to select the appropriate material. To do this, you should highlight the special characteristics of the future thing.

Yarn should be selected to meet our expectations from clothing.

• The turtleneck should fit your figure beautifully.
• Be thin enough.
• Do not irritate skin.

Another factor that may influence the choice of threads is seasonality.

• For warm weather it is better to use linen, cotton, silk.
• For the cold season, wool, alpaca, angora and mohair are more suitable.

It is better to give preference to natural materials, but you can also use polyester, viscose, microfiber and acrylic.

Reference! To make the right choice, place the knitting sample or skein against the skin of your cheek. If you like tactile sensations, then the yarn is suitable.

Pattern diagram

The working process

• Take your measurements. You will need the following indicators: chest, hips, waist and neck volume; wrist and shoulder circumference; length of the product.
• Create a pattern or make changes to the basic pattern according to your measurements.

Basic pattern

• Tie a sample of the pattern and carry out its wet-heat treatment.
• After the sample has dried, perform all the necessary calculations.

Important! This product can be made in two ways: regular knitting from bottom to top or raglan from top to bottom.

Let's consider both options.

Regular option

• For the back part, cast on the estimated number of stitches and knit in a pattern up to the armholes.
• Reduce stitches for shoulder armholes.
• Form a neck hole at the desired height.
• Perform the front part in the same way.
• For the sleeves, cast on the estimated number of stitches and knit 6 cm with a 1x1 elastic band.
• Next, knit with the main pattern, making the necessary increases.
• Roll up the sleeve.
• Sew one shoulder seam.
• Along the neckline, pick up stitches for knitting a collar and tie a fabric of sufficient length with a 1x1 elastic band.
• Sew the second shoulder seam and collar.
• Sew in sleeves.
• Connect the side seams.

Raglan

This option begins with knitting a collar.

• To do this, cast on a sufficient number of stitches on circular knitting needles and knit with a 1x1 elastic band to the desired height.
• Next, form raglan lines and mark them with markers.
• Switch to the main pattern and knit between the raglan lines. At the same time, to expand the fabric, in every second row, add one loop on both sides of the central raglan loop.

• At a sufficient height, divide the canvas into four parts and finish each separately.
• The back and front are knitted to the end with a pattern, and the sleeves are finished with a 1x1 rib for a width of 6 cm.
