How to knit a sleeveless sleeveless jacket by Scissors and Crochet: options for beginners with a description of projects and with schemes

Sleeveless sleeveless jacket is a stylish and unique item that can be worn in the office, where the dress code does not allow wearing bulky sweaters, and for a walk on a cool autumn day.

This closet piece is perfectly combined with turtlenecks of contrasting colors, monochrome or similar in color blouses. Underneath it is better to wear narrow pants or jeans.

Women's and men's clothing stores abound with all kinds of fabric, fur and leather sleeveless jackets. However, the most attractive for the true connoisseurs of fashion are hand-knitted sleeveless jackets.

Stages of preparation for knitting

In order for the knitting process to turn out a worthwhile, high-quality thing that meets a woman's tastes, she needs to prepare properly, to think through the smallest details.

The sketch .

The first is a picture of the future of the product-a sketch. It is desirable to draw a sleeveless jacket from the front and back, using different colors, in order to understand which shade it will look more advantageous.

If a girl does not know what exactly she wants to knit, or is always inspired by ready-made products, she should first carefully study the sections "Women's models", "Children's models" in this article and return to the main stages of preparation.

Measuring.

To knit the right size sleeveless sleeveless jacket, you need to know the following parameters:

Chest circumference (OH);
Waist circumference (OT);
Hip circumference(HU);
Length (LI);

Using these figures, knitters will be able to calculate their yarn consumption.

Yarn consumption

Before choosing the material from which the vest will be made, it is worth remembering some properties:

Thicker yarn will have the lowest consumption; The more loosely twisted the yarn, the more economical its consumption; On the usual front ironing is spent less than on patterned knitting; The thicker the tool, the less material is spent (by the way, if you use a thicker hook or needles, the sleeveless jacket will be knitted much easier and faster)

Consumption is calculated in two ways: calculating the weight or meterage.

Weight

For both methods, you need to knit a sample of the same yarn according to the chosen scheme. After, it is washed as a finished piece, dried, steamed. Then, this piece is put on a kitchen scale.

According to the parameters to be measured, the area of the future product is calculated.

The method of proportions is the weight of skeins needed to create a sleeveless sleeve.

Metrage

A more difficult task is to calculate the metreage.

But fortunately, there is no need to invent anything, because there is a ready-made formula:

The area of the vest is multiplied by the length of the yarn (it is indicated on the labels). The resulting product of numbers is divided by the area of the pattern.

In case the knitter hasn't made a decision about what model of sleeveless vest she is going to create, the following sections of the article will help her with this

Women's patterns

"Furred" front, smooth back.

A luxurious version, in which the front stripe is knitted with "Weed" yarn, and the back with a solid color smooth yarn in the "Face Ironing" pattern or any other "flat" pattern-such as the no-neck columns, made by capturing both or front walls with the head of the hook.

We recommend using a belt with this sleeveless jacket. And knit it longer because the fluffy material is still visually fuller.

It would be most appropriate to wear this piece to the theater / cinema / art gallery with tight pants and high-heeled shoes; for a walk with jeans and voluminous unisex boots.

With flip-up collar.

The versatile option for studies/work, informal meetings, if you complement the bright makeup and jewelry. Wears with pants, skirts, dresses, various turtlenecks, blouses.

Sleeveless sleeves of this type allow you to show your imagination: a solid front panel or two parts that fasten on the buttons. By the way, the buttons are allowed to be placed not only vertically, as usual, but diagonally, so that they connect the upper part.

Fur is often sewn to the inside of the collar. Also, it can be knitted with the above-mentioned yarn "Travka".

In order not to overload the image details (folding collar is a weighty element), it is recommended not to use complex and intricate patterns.

A thin sash tied with a flirty bow will look interesting.

With "braids" with or without buttons

Here there is no limit to imagination, the variety of quantity, thickness, types strikes! The more "braid", the more stylish the image will look. The alternation of "braids" on one cloth is welcome; wide and narrow overlaps next to each other look harmoniously.

Any look looks completely different if a woman wore such a sleeveless jacket. It is best worn with pants and jeans.

Openwork fitted (crochet)

An interesting option for the summer time, if you knit with cotton threads. Looks great with a dress, depending on the length with a puffed skirt.

Also suitable for the office, if worn with a light, almost transparent blouse with wide sleeves.

This sleeveless jacket looks best if it fastens with one button.

Knee-length

A simple and rather quick option-long sleeveless cardigan by knitting or crochet. Knit with large loops.

Will suit absolutely any image! Unusually and creatively looks a vest with linked decorative pockets (in contrasting colors, among others), large wooden buttons with unpredictable geometry.

Children's models

Often mothers and grandmothers knit interesting and practical things for children. Tie a sleeveless jacket means to take care of your child, because it is comfortable and warm.

From triangle motifs.

The most common model among children. This sleeveless jacket knitted simply, cope even beginners: by using a hook to make the required number of loops and stitched together as ready. To formalize the edges, knit not rhombuses, but triangles. Everything!

Relief pattern

By alternating the back and front loops (let's say, five by five), knitters get a pattern known to everyone, even those who are very far from knitting.

Even in this classic version there is a place for creativity: you can put a braid or two on the front shelf; if you draw a scheme and knit strictly according to it, you can get the same motif, located on the diagonal.

With openwork top(for girls)

While the whole sleeveless sleeveless is done with "Face smooth" or simple columns with or without a stitch, the top will consist of a pattern formed by air loops.

Algorithm of knitting women's sleeveless sleeveless knitwear. Aiming

This step-by-step explanation is universal, as guided by it, women will learn the basic principle of creating a vest by needles.

Dial on circular needles the required number of loops.
Remove one needle from the resulting weave.
Having knitted the first row, alternating right and wrong stitches through one, close it in a ring. After five rows you will have an elastic band. Depending on the knitter's intent, it can continue to be knit.
Knit, alternating between the front and back rows until the armholes.
Then you need to divide the fabric into front and back and knit separately from each other. The loops of the part that will be knitted first remain on the spokes. The other half is temporarily placed on the other needles or on the thread.
The neckline is formed as follows: the front stripe is divided evenly in half and placed on equal spokes. Knit by removing the same number of loops on both sides.
Finished front and back stitch together along the top edge.

Crochet sleeveless knit. Stitches without a stitch

Product crochet longer and consumes more yarn. But it is much easier for beginners. It is better to knit the front and back separately, then sew them together.

Collect the necessary number of air loops.
Knit the first row with no stitches.
Before knitting the second row, think about which wall you will hook: the front (flat pattern), the back (more embossed pattern), or both (dense smooth fabric).
For a smooth edge at the end of each row add and tighten one air loop.
The neckline is formed in the same way as when knitting with knitting needles, by means of mirror strips.
Finished front and back strips sew together.

Most of the fair sex want to have a unique, unlike others style. For this we need the same interesting things. Knitting is a tool that will help in creating an individual closet of every woman.

Knitted sleeveless jacket in the closet often saves the eternal thought of what to wear today, wherever a girl was going: it dilutes the daily image, keep warm in cold weather and, at the same time, it is not very hot. These are the underlying factors in favor of the fact that every knitter should knit a couple of stylish vests.
