Knitting the main fabric of the jacket with knitting needles
We knit forward/backward on circular needles, starting from the middle of the front front of the jacket.
Loosely cast on 211-231-251-281-311-341 stitches (5 placket stitches towards the center of the fabric) on a #4 circular needle. Knit the first row as follows (= wrong side): knit 5 knit stitches, knit 2 knit stitches together, * 7 knit stitches, slip the loop unknitted as a knit stitch, knit two knit stitches together, place the slipped loop over the knitted one, repeat from * to * until there are 14 stitches left on the needle, knit 7, cross 2 knit stitches, knit 5 = 171-187-203-227-251-275 stitches.
Knit 2 rows of stitches over all stitches. Then insert two markers into the fabric, counting 45-49-53-59-65-71 stitches on each side (= 81-89-97-109-121-133 stitches between markers on each side for the back). Continue knitting as follows: knit 5 loops of the placket in garter stitch (see explanation above), knit according to pattern A-1: ​​pattern a over the fourth loop, pattern b over 152-168-184-208-232-256 loops and pattern c over the fifth loop in garter stitch, then 5 stitches in garter stitch. Knit once according to pattern A-1, at the same time when the size knitted fabric the jacket will be 6cm, start casting off the buttonholes - see above for explanation


REMEMBER THE DENSITY OF KNITTING!
Continue knitting according to pattern A-2 in the same way (knit the bar all the time in garter stitch), repeat vertical knitting three times according to pattern A-2. Then continue knitting according to pattern A-3, at the same time in the first row, evenly reduce 12-12-12-8-8-8 stitches (cut 6-6-6-4-4-4 stitches from the back and 3-3 -3-2-2-2 stitches from each front of the jacket, under no circumstances cut above the slats) = 159-175-191-219-243-267 stitches, also cut evenly 12-12-12-8-8 -8 stitches in the last row in chart A-3, distribute the reductions in the same way as the previous reduction = 147-163-179-211-235-259 stitches.
When one repeat is knitted vertically according to pattern A-3, knit one repeat according to pattern A-4. When the rapport is knitted according to pattern A-4, the size of the jacket fabric will be approximately 32 cm. Continue knitting according to pattern A-3 at the same time evenly adding 16 loops to the first row (8 loops on the back side, 4 loops on the side of the main fabric) = = 163-179-195-227-251-275 sts. In the same way, add to the last row according to pattern A-3 = 179-195-211-243-267-291 loops. When you finish knitting pattern A-3, continue with pattern A-2 (start adding for the collar before knitting pattern A-2 - read the explanation below).
Knitting a shawl collar
At the same time, when the size of the knitted fabric is 39-40-41-42-43-44 cm, begin adding collar loops on both sides to the center of the main fabric. Add stitches by adding yarn overs between the furthest stitches on both sides - on the next row, cross the yarn overs and knit stitches so that there are no large holes between the loops.
On each row, continue adding stitches until 15-15-15-18-18-18 stitches have been added on both sides of the knitted stitch, i.e. there should be 20-20-20-23-23-23 stitches in garter stitch at both sides.
Continue knitting according to pattern A-2 until the fabric measures 41-42-43-44-45-46 cm. Knit the next first row according to pattern A-3 as follows: add for the collar and knit the placket as before , cut one stitch for neck - see cut tip, work until 2-3-3-4-4-5 stitches remain before marker, cast off 4-6-6-8-8-10 stitches for armhole , continue knitting until there are 2-3-3-4-4-5 stitches left before the next marker, cast off 4-6-6-8-8-10 stitches for the armhole, knitting until two stitches remain before the placket, reduce one loop for neck - see tip for cutting stitches, knit placket and add collar stitches as before. Complete each part separately.


Left side of the front front of the jacket, knitted
First read before starting the next part of knitting:
Pattern: continue to knit according to pattern A-3 until 1 repeat is knitted vertically, then knit according to pattern A-4 1 time (knit so that the loops you knit do not coincide with the neck loops, when cutting the neck loops in parts of the fabric in stockinette stitch), then knit once according to pattern A-3 and continue in stockinette stitch until you finish to the appropriate size - at the same time knit one edge stitch in garter stitch in the direction of the armhole.
Knitting armholes
At the same time, bind off for the armhole at the beginning of each row of loops on both sides as follows: 2 loops 0-0-0-2-3-4 times and then 1 loop 0-0-2-3-5-6 times.

Knitting the collar and neck of a jacket with knitting needles
Continue increasing the collar stitches, repeat decreasing the neck stitches on each row four times and then on every fourth row 5-5-6-6-7-7 times. After adding the collar stitches and cutting off the neck stitches, you should have 50-53-54-59-60-62 stitches left on your needle.
When the fabric measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm, bind off the first 30-33-34-36-37-39 stitches on the right side for the shoulder, knit the remaining row (= 20-20-20- 23-23-23 loops will remain for the gate). Continue knitting in garter stitch: * 2 rows only over the outermost 15-15-15-18-18-18 stitches (towards the center of the main fabric), 2 rows over all loops *, repeat from * to * until the collar size is approximately equals 5 1/2 -5 1/2 -6-6-6 1/2 -6 1/2 cm along the short side (having done this, duplicate the same dimensions on the outside), remove the loops with a pin.
Right front front of the jacket
It is knitted like the left part, only in a mirror image. When you close the shoulder loops, knit from the wrong side to avoid thread breakage when knitting the collar.


Knitting the back of a jacket
= 81-87-95-109-121-131 sts. Cast off for armhole on each side, same as front front = 81-87-91-95-99-103 sts. At the same time, finish knitting according to pattern A-3 with the most distant loops on each side in garter stitch, continue knitting according to pattern A-4, knit once vertically (look at the arrow shown on the outside of the pattern - the middle of the back, knit stitches from each side so that the stitches do not match the stockinette pattern).
Then knit the rapport according to pattern A-3 before finishing the stockinette stitch
When the fabric measures 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm, cast off the middle 19-19-21-21-23-23 stitches for the neckline, then knit the shoulders separately. Cast off one stitch on next row for neckline = 30-33-34-36-37-39 stitches left for each shoulder. Cast off all the loops when the fabric measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm.
Knitting jacket sleeves
Knit back and forth.


Loosely cast on 63-63-63-73-73-73 stitches (including one edge stitch on each side) using size 4 needles. Knit the first row as follows ( purl row): 1 knit stitch, knit 2 knit stitches together, * 7 knit stitches, slip 1 loop as a knit stitch, knit two knit loops together, throw the removed loop over the knitted one *, repeat from * to * until 10 loops remain on the knitting needle, knit 7 knit stitches, cross next 2 knit stitches together, 1 knit stitch = 51-51-51-59-59-59 stitches. Knit two rows over all stitches. Continue as follows (one row = knit row): one edge stitch in garter stitch, work pattern A-1 like this: pattern a over 4 stitches, pattern b over 40-40-40-48-48-48 stitches and pattern with over 5 loops, complete the edge loop with garter stitch. Knit vertically once according to pattern A-1.
Read the entire section before continuing to knit!
Pattern: continue to knit according to pattern A-2, you need to knit vertically four repeats up, then continue to knit according to pattern A-3, knit once, knit vertically according to pattern A-4 once (calculate the loops so that the loop marked on the pattern arrow, located in the middle of the sleeve), knit once according to pattern A-3 and then according to pattern A-2 until you knit to the required length.
Increase: Knit the same way when the fabric size was 12-12-14-14-16-16 cm, add one loop on both sides. Repeat adding every 4 1/2 -3 1/2 -2 1/2 -2 1/2 -2-1 1/2 cm 8-10-12-11-14-17 times = 69-73-77-83 -89-95 stitches - continue knitting with the addition of stitches in stockinette stitch, as it corresponds to rapport.
Knitting sleeve heads
When the size of the knitted sleeve fabric is 50-49-48-47-46-45 cm (for larger sizes, use a shorter arm head, but in the case of a long sleeve head, it greatly widens the shoulders), at the beginning of each row, bind off the loops on both sides of the sleeve head: cast off 4 stitches once, then cast off 2 stitches on both sides to the appropriate length of 55cm for all sizes (be sure that the pattern has not moved when you cast off stitches, knit stitches that did not match the stockinette stitch ), eventually cast off three stitches on each side once before casting off the remaining stitches.

The size of the knitted fabric will be approximately 56 cm in all sizes
Assembling the jacket

Having set the goal of knitting a cardigan, every craftswoman asks herself the question “What will be needed for this and can I do it?” We hasten to reassure you that modern industry provides a wide assortment of yarn. When you go to the store, you may simply get confused or take unnecessary yarn. If you are a beginner in this business, then further instructions on how to knit a cardigan will help you: diagrams and descriptions 2019.

How to choose a tool and yarn for knitting a cardigan

When choosing yarn, which department store shelves are “littered” with, you first need to look at the label and thoroughly study the information. What you need to know:

• What is included in the skein.
• Hank weight.
• What is the length of the thread in the ball?
• Recommended knitting needles and hooks.
• Instructions for caring for the finished item.

The selection of yarn must be approached with all seriousness. The level of quality is especially important. When selecting the composition of the yarn, you need to take into account the conditions for the cardigan (style, child or adult, allergies and many other conditions). It is better to buy natural yarn than “synthetics”.

When knitting a baby item, the best yarn is acrylic or cotton. Set the mohair aside. It won't work in this situation.

How to choose the right yarn for a cardigan? When choosing yarn for a baby item, hold it against your face. She shouldn't call discomfort, like an itch. Yarn of animal origin is strictly prohibited for allergy sufferers. Cotton or acrylic will suit them. But eco-yarn has no competition. It uses environmentally friendly raw materials and dyes exclusively of natural origin. When choosing a tool, look at the label. It gives instructions on which knitting needles to use.

Cardigan is interesting and fashion accessory in the wardrobe of a modern woman. The variety of shapes and styles of the cardigan allows you to wear it with anything: with a skirt, dress, classic trousers and ripped jeans. Cardigans have been knitted by needlewomen for many years now, because they are in trend. Particularly interesting are the cardigan models, knitted from thick yarn or from thick braids - imitation of volumetric knitting: cardigans with Lalo knitting needles, cardigans with merino knitting needles, etc.

Knitting a cardigan using thick yarn is easier because the work moves quickly and requires much less time and patience. After all, not every craftswoman will find the strength to knit one thing for 2-3 months. So, if you are not ready to have a lot of patience, choose thicker yarn, larger knitting needles and interesting master– classes. interesting selection to the website 17 beautiful models

What color yarn is best for knitting a cardigan?

Of course, it is best to start from your color type, choose shades from fashionable colors which suit you best. And most importantly, make sure that the knitted cardigan fits well into your wardrobe.

Fashionable colors of 2017 are natural, soft shades. Among them are:

• Rich green
• Rose quartz
• Rich electric blue
• Blue cold, icy shade
• Bright saffron
• Taupe (iced coffee)
• Gray with a hint of lilac
• Yellow muted

If your clothes are office wear, then feel free to choose shades of gray, cool blue or rose quartz. And if you wear more casual clothes, denim, then buy saffron or electric blue. Although gray also looks good with jeans.

The yarn consumption for knitting a cardigan is quite large: 1-1.5 kg. In this case, you can save money by purchasing yarn in packages in an online store, rather than individually at retail. It's even better to do this:

• buy 1 skein from 2-3 yarn options
• knit a pattern pattern for a cardigan
• wash it and calculate the loops.

As a result, you will know the quality of the yarn: whether it sheds or not, whether the yarn shrinks, whether it holds the pattern you have chosen well. This careful preparation will save you from the disappointment of choosing the wrong yarn. Or, as an option, buy only the yarn recommended by the author of the model you have chosen. There is no point in experimenting in this matter.
