With the onset of cold weather, each person's wardrobe is replenished with sweaters, pullovers, cardigans, which you can either buy in stores or knit with your own hands. How to do it? What is needed for this? And where to start knitting sweaters for beginners? This is what this article will be about. We will tell you how to choose the right yarn for a particular model of clothing, consider expert advice on choosing a pattern for men's raglans, describe the knitting workflow step by step.

Knitted things have been used at all times, and to this day they are popular. They are worn not only in the winter or cold autumn-spring period, a lot of clothes are also produced for wearing on summer days. A sweater or other hand-made products will be an excellent gift for your beloved man for an anniversary or a manifestation of care for your parents. But before starting the main work, you need to decide on the choice of yarn, on which the quality and wear of clothing depends. So, there are three main groups of knitting threads:

• woolen;

• vegetable;

• synthetic fibers.

They, in turn, are divided into other varieties, which differ in their strength, wear resistance, and thickness. A detailed description of the main types of yarn is given in the table.

Types of yarn for knitting
Woolen threads	They have a number of advantages: they retain heat well and keep them warm, lightweight, have a strong texture, and slowly pass moisture. Depending on the production (from the wool of which animal the material is sheared), angora threads, alpaca, mohair, etc. are distinguished. As a rule, this type of yarn is used to create winter clothes, knitting sweaters + for men with knitting patterns, which are submitted on many thematic sites. Due to such a shortage of wool, such as fast rollability, knitting experts recommend combining it with plant and artificial fibers such as acrylic or cotton. Mixing these materials will make excellent vests for men and women, jumpers, children's dresses, fashionable scarves and hats. It should be remembered that woolen things must be treated gently during washing, they are not recommended to be rubbed roughly, as well as squeezed and hung on the dryer, they require delicate care.
Plant fibers	Vegetable, natural fibers are presented on the thread market as yarn from cotton, flax, bamboo, which are produced without the use of pesticides, chemicals, etc. They do not include a variety of dyes and bleaches, due to which the above materials are usually called eco-yarns. Due to their light, airy texture, cotton and linen fibers are suitable for making summer clothes: T-shirts, swimwear, boleros, sundresses, etc. For example, cotton dries for a rather long time, but products made from it are comfortable to wear and do not cause discomfort even on the hottest days.
Synthetic yarn	This group includes acrylic threads, as well as viscose, which is characterized as an intermediate material between natural and synthetic. Viscose yarn is characterized by pleasant tactile qualities, it is made from cellulose, due to which things knitted from this fiber are heavy, but at the same time smooth and soft. Most often, viscose threads are used to create summer clothes of a free cut: various women's tunics, dresses, etc. Acrylic fiber, in its qualities, is very similar to wool, but products made from it do not warm, as woolen, therefore it is used as basics for demi-season models: men's raglans, vests, etc. Acrylic threads are practically incapable of absorbing moisture, that is, they have a high level of hygroscopicity, which is one of the disadvantages of this fiber. However, acrylic clothing is lightweight and comfortable to wear, and is considered warm enough for the spring-autumn period.

When choosing these or those threads, experts recommend buying them with a margin, since it often happens that the same materials, but different supplies differ in shade or even thickness, which will negatively affect the quality, for example, of a sweater knitting pattern with raglan needles, which can be taken from the internet.

How to choose the right knitting tools?

For high-quality and comfortable knitting of a sweater with knitting needles with patterns, the master needs to choose the right tool. Knitting needles, as a rule, are acquired taking into account two nuances: their size and the material from which they are made, although experts equally often prefer to crochet. There are bamboo, metal and plastic tools. The first type is recommended to be used by novice needlewomen, since due to their rough surface, the dialed loops do not move around the perimeter and remain in place. Bamboo implements are suitable for almost all categories of yarn, they are quite flexible, but they tend to break under heavy load.

Metal knitting needles are capable of working with heavy materials, they are durable and practically not bend, suitable for knitting from fibers such as cotton, wool, and also acrylic. In contrast, the plastic tool is too flexible and light, therefore it is large enough, has a sliding surface, and is designed to work with any yarn. When choosing a tool, special attention should be paid to its diameter, since large loops require a large inventory, and when working with thin knitting equipment, small loops come out, which create a denser fabric, tight and narrow.

A variant of a simple men's sweater with knitting needles

When planning work on the creation of men's clothing with your own hands, first of all, it is worth choosing the right pattern for knitting a sweater with knitting needles, with which the Internet network riches. You should not choose models with a bright color palette or strongly pronounced patterns; it is better to opt for calmer colors, with a minimum content of patterns and knitting elements. The stronger sex, as a rule, suits jackets with a raglan seam, a geometric pattern, things with a high collar “under the neck”, etc. Consider one of the possible options for knitting a sweater with knitting needles, using the scheme for beginners. For beginners in this business, this is, of course, very time-consuming and painstaking work that must be done in stages.

A classic "under the throat" pullover is perhaps the most common model in a men's wardrobe, warming on frosty days, and which every woman who knows or learns how to create knitted things with her own hands can please her beloved. Having considered the possible options for knitting with knitting patterns + for a sweater scheme, it is necessary to calculate the amount of consumables that correlates with the size and physique of the chosen one.

So, for work you will need:

• knitting threads from natural wool - about 20 balls of 120 ml / 50 g (blue or dark green);
• tool number 3, 3.5;
• circular tool No. 3;
• sewing needle;
• auxiliary tool.

Knitting fabric for No. 3.5 is characterized by a density (10 * 10) 22 loops for 30 rows, for No. 3 23 loops for 30 rows. In knitting patterns for a man's sweater with knitting needles, the removal and addition of elements is indicated according to the pattern “1 * 2 * 4”, which means “1 time two loops in every fourth row”. So, consider the step-by-step knitting of a sweater scheme, the description of which in detail looks as follows.

Back and front

Stage 1. The work begins with knitting the backrest, since our estimated size is 46-48 (50-52), we collect 110-120 loops for tool number 3, the place-beginning should be marked with a marker, and dial a six-centimeter elastic band 2 * 2.

Stage 2. At No. 3.5, a cloth with a size of 44 cm is made, according to the principle: 12 (11) loops with an elastic band 2 * 2, and the next 88 (98) with front stitch and again 12 (11) loops with an elastic band.

Stage 3. It is necessary to make a decrease on both sides: 1 * 2 * 4 and 11 * 2 * 6 (6 * 2 * 4 and 8 * 2 * 6).

Stage 4. Having created a canvas with a length of 67 (68) cm from the starting edge, the central 16 (18) loops for the neck must be closed and each side must be finished separately.

Stage 5. Decrease 2 * 6 * 2, and after 69 (70) cm close the remaining loops. And you can go to knitting the front, according to the principle of the back, only with a deeper cut for the neckline.

Step 6. After 56 (57) cm has been tied, 12 (14) stitches in the center are closed and each side is fitted.

Stage 7. Close 1 * 3 * 2, 2 * 2 * 2, 2 * 1 * 2, 3 * 1 * 4, 2 * 1 * 6, after which, having made 69 (70) cm, fix the remaining loops.

Sleeves

Stage 8. Proceed to knitting the sleeves using tool number 3, on which we collect 58 (62) loops and knit a six-centimeter elastic band.

Stage 9. We make increments: 7 * 1 * 8, 13 * 1 * 6.

Step 10. For model size 46-48, tying 47 cm for a seam, close 2 loops once. After that, we subtract 6 * 4 * 6 (5 * 4 * 6) and 3 * 4 * 4 (5 * 4 * 4). In the next three rows, it is necessary to make 2 decreases after 9 loops, after 8 loops, after 7 loops, respectively.

Stage 11. The last reduction of the loops is performed (the remainder of 14 elements).

Stage 12. Working on the shoulder seams.

Stage 13. We take the collar into a turn, for which we need circular knitting needles, we type 136 (140) loops with the front stitch on them, and then there is an elastic band, we close the process after 21 cm. After that, you can sew in the sleeves and fix the side seams.

Having created one knitting pattern knitting sweater, which can be found in special magazines and on sites on the Internet, every novice craftsman can proceed to the production of an Irish pullover or ruby, safely adding them with a braid pattern, etc.

Women's openwork sweater knitting

Explore the knitting pattern for a women's sweater in an openwork style. For work we need:

• 500 g of wool yarn;
• direct instruments No. 4.5.

Having found on the Internet themed pages knitting sweaters for free, you need to deal with patterns, knitting an elastic band, etc.

In this case, we will consider an openwork pattern that is knitted using crochet stitches and knitting them together. Also, this model provides a "braid" pattern, which should be created according to a special knitting pattern for a sweater for women with knitting needles. Step-by-step instructions for work are as follows.

Back and front of the sweater

Using tool no. 4.5, you need to dial 72 loops, and knit 16 rows with an elastic band 1 * 1, then dial 104 rows using the openwork pattern method. Row 113 should cover all the dialed stitches. The front of the product is created similarly to the back up to the 89th row. This row should be closed with 20 dialed loops, and then in each dialed level, on both sides. Thus, the upper part is formed with a cutout for the neckline. Observing all the points of the knitting pattern + with a description of the sweater at the end, the same number of loops should remain on each side (19). Typing level 113, you need to close all the elements on both tools.

Sleeves

Both sleeve elements are knitted in a similar pattern. On tool number 4.5, you should dial 35 loops, then there are 21 rows of simple elastic. Starting at level 22, you need to add 15 loops. Similarly to the indicated technique, we collect another 60 rows 6 * 39 * 6 (front surface * openwork element * front surface). On the front satin stitch, we expand the sleeves so that there are 69 yarns on the knitting needles, and at level 61, close all the loops. After all the elements of the ruby's sweater, the knitting pattern is ready, you can proceed to assembling it, for which you will need a sewing needle. A “braid” is used as a finishing pattern, which is recommended to be created according to a certain pattern, using purl loops that cooperate with the front loops.

Thus, we can say that the models proposed above are only the simplest options that can be implemented and at the same time make a warm surprise to your family and loved ones. However, experts recommend that beginner masters start with simpler schemes that do not include complex patterns and transitions.

Women's sweater size: 36-44.

Elastic: in the front rows, knit alternately 1 front, 2 purl loops. In the purl rows, knit the loops according to the pattern.

Knitting density of the sweater, elastic, needles number 5: 25 loops and 26 rows corresponds to 10 by 10 cm.

Description of knitting a women's sweater

Back: on knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on 161 loops and tie for a strip of 8 cm or 22 rows with an elastic band, while after the hem, start with purl 1 and end at the end of the row in front of the hem 1 purl.

First, knit on both sides for rounding in shortened rows as follows, while marking the middle 91 loop: in the next front row, knit 3 loops and turn the work after the second marked loop, make 1 yarn over the right knitting needle and knit to the third loop after the first marked loop back ...

Then turn the work by making a yarn over the right knitting needle. Thus, knit on both sides in every second row 9 times for 3 loops and 1 time for 5 loops more, turning the work with a crochet.

In the next long row, knit the yarn over with the next loop together according to the pattern so that no holes are formed.

When performing a row, make sure that the yarns are located on the seamy side of the work.

To do this, knit the yarn in the front row from the left edge of the work in the next front row with the next loop together with the front or purl, in the purl row knit from the left edge with the next loop together with the front or purl crossed.

When all stitches are back in work, knit straight.

After 36 cm or 94 rows from the first long row, make 1 mark on both sides and close one loop for the armholes, then in every second row 24 times 1 loop, a total of 111 loops were obtained.

After 19 cm or 50 rows from the beginning of the armholes, make the 2nd mark and close on both sides for the shoulder bevels in every second row 10 times 3 loops, while simultaneously knit 7 times every 3rd and 4th loop together with the front, so that the edge is not too wide.

After the last decrease for the shoulder, set aside the middle 51 loops for the collar.

Shelf: on knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on 116 loops and tie for a strip of 8 cm or 22 rows with an elastic band, while after the hem, start with purl 1 and end at the end of the row in front of the hem with one purl.

Then knit with knitting needles # 5 with an elastic band. First, knit on both sides for the "corners" in shortened rows. Tie a corner from the right edge.

To do this, in the next front row, knit 3 loops, turn the work, make a yarn on the right knitting needle and knit again to the end of the row.

In each next front row, knit 15 times 2 more loops and knit the yarn of the previous row with the next loop together according to the pattern or together with the purl.

Then knit 1 continuous row and make a corner from the left edge symmetrically.

To do this, knit the yarn over with the next loop together with the front or the wrong one according to the pattern, so that it is always on the wrong side of the work. Then knit again on all loops.

In the 21st row from the end of the corner, add 2 loops in the middle for the form (in the middle there are 2 purl).

* To do this, knit one front crossed loop and 1 purl loop from a transverse thread between both middle purl loops.

In the purl row, knit the loops according to the pattern, knit 2 middle loops with the front one. In the next 8th row, knit in the middle one front and one front crossed from a transverse thread.

Knit the added loops in the next purl row with purl loops. In the next 8th row, add 2 purl stitches again (\u003d 1st medium addition).

Repeat such additions from * in every 8th p. In total, add 2 loops each 14 times. Simultaneously perform armholes and shoulder bevels on both sides at the height of the back.

After the last addition and decrease, 34 stitches remain on the spoke. Set aside these loops for the collar.

Sleeves: on knitting needles No. 4.5, cast on 52 loops and tie for a 2 cm or 6 rows strip with an elastic band, while in the first row, start after the hem with two purl loops and finish at the end of the row in front of the hem with two purl loops.

Then knit with knitting needles # 5 with an elastic band.

After 8 cm or 20 rows from the inlaid edge, add one loop on both sides for bevels, then in each 6th row 1 loop more 14 times, 82 loops in total.

The loops added on both sides are included according to the pattern in an elastic band.

After 36 cm or 94 rows from the first addition, close 4 loops on both sides for the sleeves, then in every second row 8 times 4 and 1 times 5 loops. This will close all the loops.

Assembly: make the seams, taking into account the marks.

Transfer to circular knitting needles No. 5 all the deferred 85 loops of the collar and continue to knit them with an elastic band according to the pattern in circular rows (in the middle of the shelf there are 2 front ones), while in the middle of the shelf continue to perform additions.

At a collar height of 16 cm, the loops are free to close according to the pattern. Sew in sleeves.

Good afternoon friends!

Today, I will tell you how to knit a women's sweater with circular needles.

A knitted sweater is especially relevant in the cold season. A self-knitted sweater is a unique thing, because such a sweater is rarely seen among others, or not at all. The cropped sweater sleeve is very comfortable when working in which long sleeves get in the way. For knitting sweaters, yarn is used, which consists of 50% wool and 50% acrylic.

To knit a women's sweater we need:

1. Thunderstorm yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic) - 200 g.
2. White yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic) - 100 g.
3. Circular knitting needles - 1 set
4. Toe knitting needles - 1 set
5. Knitting pins - 2 pcs.
6. Sewing needle.
7. Scissors.

We knit the back

We begin to knit a sweater from the back. Cast on 80 stitches plus 2 edge stitches with dark yarn on circular needles. Knit 1x1 elastic, knit 11 rows.

Now we turn to knitting a pattern, in which only the front rows are indicated, and the purl rows are knitted according to the pattern.

1 row: 1 chrome. loop, 1 out. * 3 persons.p., 3 N.p. *, then knit to the end of the row with loops that are indicated between the sign *. We knit the purl row according to the figure.

3rd row: 1 chrome. loop, 1 out. * 3 persons.p., 3 N.p. *, then knit to the end of the row with loops that are indicated between the sign *.

5 row: 1 chrome. loop, 1 out. * yarn, 3 persons. together, yarn over, 3 persons. *, then knit to the end of the row with loops that are indicated between the * sign.

7 row: 1 edge loop, 1 out. * 3 N.p. 3 persons.p *, then knit to the end of the row with loops, which are indicated between the sign *.

9 row: 1 edge loop, 1 out. * 3 N.p. 3 persons.p *, then knit to the end of the row with loops, which are indicated between the sign *.

11 row: 1 edge loop, 1 out. * 3 persons.p., Yarn, 3 persons.p. together, yarn *, then knit to the end of the row with loops that are indicated between the *.

From 1-6 row, knit with dark yarn according to the pattern.

Now we knit

From 7-12 rows, knit with white yarn in a pattern.

From row 1-12, knit with dark yarn according to the pattern.

From 1-6 rows in the pattern, but with white yarn.

From row 7-12 and row 1-6, knit with dark yarn according to the pattern.

From 7-12 rows, knit with white yarn in a pattern.

From row 1-12, knit with dark yarn according to the pattern.

From 1-6 rows in the pattern, but with white yarn.

From 7-12 rows, knit with dark yarn in a pattern.

Separate the loops: knit 26 loops, 30 loops (remove them on a pin), knit 26 loops. Knit the first row of the pattern. And in the 3rd row of the pattern, cut 1 loop in front of the pin on both sides. Knit 5th row of the pattern. Close the loops. The back is ready.

Moving on to knitting the front of the sweater. The front part is knitted in the same way as the back, but complete with 7 rows of the pattern.

In the 9th row of the pattern, you need to knit 28 loops, remove 26 loops on a pin, knit 28 loops.

In the 11th row of the pattern, cut 2 loops near the pin on both sides. Knit from 1-4 rows of the pattern. The front of the sweater is ready.

We knit a sleeve

We move on to knitting the sleeves, they will be knitted in the same pattern as the main part of the sweater. I propose to knit two sleeves at once on circular knitting needles, so for each sleeve we take a dark and white skein of yarn. Cast on 40 stitches (1 sleeve).

Tie a 1x1 elastic, consisting of 11 rows.

We knit according to the pattern. We knit from rows 1-12 with dark yarn, and in the 1st and 7th rows add one loop at the beginning and at the end so that the sleeve becomes wider.

From rows 1-6, knit white yarn along the pattern, adding one loop at the beginning and at the end in 1 row.

From row 7-12 and row 1-6, knit with dark yarn, add in the 1st row one loop at the beginning and at the end. From 7-12 row, knit with white yarn. We knit with dark yarn from 1-12 row according to the pattern. From 1-6 row we knit with white yarn. From row 7-12 and row 1-6 we knit with dark yarn.

From 7-12 row, knit with white yarn. From rows 1-12 in the pattern, knit with dark yarn, adding one loop at the beginning and at the end in 3, 7 and 11 rows. From rows 1-6, knit with white yarn, making additions in rows 3 and 5. From 7-12 and from 1-6, knit a row with dark yarn and close the loops. Short sleeves are obtained.

We knit a collar

We sew a sweater and move on to knitting a collar. It can be knitted on both circular and sock knitting needles. To avoid a seam on the collar, I advise you to knit it on sock knitting needles. We collect loops from pins to toe knitting needles, and where there are no loops, we type.

The collar is knitted with an elastic band 1x1, knit 10 cm. The length of the collar is selected at personal discretion. If you want the collar to tuck, then knit like mine or longer.

Our sweater is ready!

This is how you can knit a women's sweater. This sweater is suitable for a woman who wears size 42 sweaters. The sweater turns out to be light, soft and very comfortable, and you can experiment with the colors of the yarn.

How to knit a women's sweater

How to knit a women's sweater

By the way! Now is the best time to prepare for the cold weather - to tie and.

Good luck and see you soon!

The cold has come and it's time to warm up. Warm sweaters will come in handy in autumn and winter. And in this master class we will knit a simple sweater with knitting needles with a lapel. The sweater knits easily, despite the presence of braids in the pattern.

To knit a sweater, we need:

1. Yarn "Children's whim" (225 m / 50 g);
2. Spokes number 3.5;
3. Additional spoke.

* For a sweater, you can take any other yarn with the same footage.
For size 42-46, cast on 140 stitches in two strands. We close the knitting in a circle and then knit an elastic band one by one about five centimeters in a circle.

In the sweater, we will only make braids in the front. There will be four of them. Each pigtail has eight stitches. And between the braids, we also knit eight loops.

We begin to knit the first row with an overlap. We will count the new row from the beginning of the first braid. On add. We transfer the knitting needle to four loops.

We knit the next four with the front ones.

Let us return further the loops with add. knitting needles back to the left knitting needle. And we will knit them also with the front ones.

Then we need to knit eight purl loops. After that, we repeat the overlap again. Then again we knit eight purl and overlap. And so we will knit again. We will knit the remaining loops with purl to the end of the row.

After the first row, we need to knit seven identical rows. We knit them according to the pattern. That is, where we have purl loops, we do them with purl. And we knit all the braids with the front ones.

After these rows, we will again repeat the overlaps in the braids. We knit again the same row with overlaps, which was knitted at the beginning. And then knitting will be repeated.

We knit a sweater to the desired length and divide it into two parts. From the first braid, we count seven loops to the right. And from the last braid to the left, we also count seven loops. This is in front of the sweater. We transfer all the loops of the front to the knitting needles. And we leave the back loops on a thread or on additional circular knitting needles.

We knit further just before. We knit everything as we knit according to the pattern. We need to knit four more overlaps.

After that we knit the back loops, but do not close the front loops. We knit thirty-two rows on the back. And then we sew the shoulders loop into a loop.

Sew on each shoulder twenty loops on each side. That is, in front, we sew twenty loops with twenty back loops. After that, we have sixty loops for the neckline.

We knit with an elastic band one by one about twenty-five centimeters. And close the loops.

We then attach the thread to the hole for the sleeve and dial it straight from the armhole of the loop. You need to dial fifty loops. There will also be pigtails on the sleeve. One braid for each sleeve.

From the shoulder seam we find the central eyelet. And from it in the direction of the front we count four loops. And in the other direction we count three loops. These eight loops will be the pigtail. They can be marked with markers. We knit further the sleeve with the purl stitch. We perform the braid in the same way as in the sweater itself.

Finish the sleeve with a one-on-one elastic by knitting ten rows. We knit the second sleeve in the same way as the first.

A simple knitted sweater with braids is ready!

Knitting is increasingly attracting young girls to embody their fantasies - and this is in the presence of an abundance of things in stores and shopping centers. They are driven by the desire to be individual. Of course, learning to knit on your own with knitting needles for beginners is quite difficult, but it is possible - if you show maximum patience and accuracy. It is better for beginners to start knitting a scarf or any other simple product. Those who have already coped with a similar, and seemingly daunting task, can start knitting a sweater. The article will provide detailed information on how to do this with minimal complexity.

Choosing a yarn

To begin with, you should pay attention to the choice of yarn, which is purchased in specialized stores. Often experts in knitting work here, so they can advise with a choice. Otherwise, give preference to acrylic, wool with an admixture of acrylic (50/50) or cotton - today there is a huge amount of cotton yarn, which, unlike the usual thin and stiff thread, is soft and keeps warm.

You should not take angora, mohair or yarn with lurex for the first experience. It is also not recommended to choose 100% wool, since there will be a lot of problems with it - the wool shrinks, so you can make a mistake when calculating the size. Previously, the wool is soaked in warm water while still in skeins and dried on a warm battery or in another warm place - this gives a full shrinkage of the skein, so you can knit taking into account the natural size of the model.

Choosing tools

This women's sweater can be knitted on both metal and wooden knitting needles. Wooden beginners are better suited because they prevent unscheduled "collapse" of the hinges, which is a disaster for beginners - they will not be able to "put" the hinges again, they will have to dissolve everything.

As for the selection of the diameter of the knitting needles for the yarn, then follow the available recommendations from the yarn manufacturers - the labels indicate which knitting needles and crochet are recommended to knit from the selected thread. Here there is an indication of characteristic density, but one should not pay attention to them, because the manner of knitting is individual for everyone - someone knits freely, and someone pulls the thread tightly on the finger.

Be sure to have circular knitting needles - the knitting needles on the line - of the same number as the main needles. They will be needed to tie the neck.

Loop calculation

To calculate the density, you need to dial 20-30 loops on the knitting needles and knit about 10 cm with the pattern selected for the sweater. The resulting sample should be steam ironed or moistened and dried properly to give the sample its final appearance and shape. After that, calculations are made of the number of loops per 1 cm of the canvas, as well as the number of rows per 1 cm of height. Record your results.

Pattern selection

Before considering how to knit a sweater with knitting needles, you need to decide on the pattern. For beginners, use a simple garter stitch - only knit with face stitches. For clarity and beginners, in the presented form of needlework, a video of a set of loops on knitting needles and a master class on knitting facial loops are provided. Having studied the technique, you can start knitting a sweater on your own. The instructions are presented step by step, so there will be no problems.

Knitting sweaters

The instructions allow you to knit a sweater step by step, as in the picture. Here, bulky yarn and knitting needles with a number 6-7 are used - this allows you to quickly master the knitting technique, as well as quickly reach the result. A quick result inspires beginners to new fantasies and draws them into the craft.

Back

It is better to start knitting a product for women with knitting needles from the back - if you are wrong with the size, the front can be made a little wider for the chest. So, the knitting of the back occurs in the sequence:

1. Type 52 loops on the knitting needles - 50 loops will go into the fabric, and 2 loops are edge loops, which never take part in the calculations of knitting the fabric with knitting needles.
2. Knit the first row with an elastic band 1x1 - 1 front loop, 1 purl loop. In a similar alternation, reach the end of the row. Turn the work over and continue knitting the elastic using the "pattern" method. If you have an even number of loops, you will start the second row by knitting with a purl loop. Knit 7-9 rows with elastic.
3. Start knitting the main fabric from the front row - the front row "looks" at you. Begin to knit further the back to the height of the shoulder line, not reaching 3 cm, only with front loops - this is how you get a garter stitch. Beginners should not spend a lot of time to knit armholes - this will complicate and confuse the craftswomen a little. Make your first sweater with dropped sleeves.
4. When you reach the shoulder line, start knitting the neckline. To do this, knit 15 loops from the front side with front loops, close 20 loops, knit the remaining 15 loops. Now you will knit the shoulders separately, but do not remove the stitches on the auxiliary knitting needles.
5. Turn the work over, knit 12 loops in total - the last 3 are "removed" by knitting 2 loops together according to the pattern.
6. Turn the work over again and knit another row of 12 loops. Close the loops if you already have 3 cm for the neckline.
7. Attach the thread to the edge of the second shoulder and make a symmetrical decrease, close the loops, tear off the thread.

Front

Now start knitting the front, which, if necessary, make it a little wider (if the chest is more than 3 sizes). Knitting is carried out similarly to the back, but 5 cm is not tied to the edge of the shoulders - the neck is tied in the same way. But with small changes in the loop calculations:

1. Work 19 stitches, bind off 12 stitches, knit remaining 19 stitches.
2. Turn the work over and knit a row with 15 loops.
3. Turn the work over again, close 3 loops, knit 12 loops - so tie 5 cm of knitting of the neck.
4. Tie the second part of the front in the same way symmetrically.

Sleeve

The selected model is knitted with deflated sleeves, that is, without knitting the armhole. Accordingly, you do not have to knit the armhole line of the sleeve. Here, just at the end of knitting, you will have to close the loops. The sequence of knitting sleeves is as follows:

Assembly and strapping

How to knit a sweater for a woman with knitting needles turns out to be not such a difficult task. Most even experienced craftswomen abandon the already connected products and do not want to bother with the assembly. In principle, beginners do not face such a threat - they are driven by the desire to get results. The presented model does not require complex actions.

It is better to soak pre-prepared parts in water and lay them on a towel for proper shaping and drying. After the parts are dry, connect the parts in any convenient way. Sew the shoulder seams first. Then sew on the sleeves, and only then do the side seams. Iron the resulting seams with an iron.

If the sewn sweater is the right size, start tying the neckline. To do this, using circular knitting needles, begin to pull on the loops of the neck of the sweater. This is done from the middle of the back. Gently pull the loops over the knitting needles - make sure you get an even number of them.

Now start tying the neckline - knit the strapping with 1x1 elastic band like cuffs (7-9 rows are required). Sometimes it is necessary to reduce or increase the number of rows of neck strapping - this does not lead to terrible consequences, therefore, it is allowed to perform. Moreover, beginners may not immediately guess the size of the neck strap.

When tying the neckline, it is not required to reduce the number of loops - the elastic is elastic, so the binding of the collar zone will fit on the girl's neck properly. A detailed technique for strapping the neck is presented in the video.

So, knitting a sweater for a girl with knitting needles, even if she is a beginner craftswoman, is not as difficult as it seems at the very beginning. The main thing is to simplify the work as much as possible - to choose a thicker thread, light yarn, to give preference to a simple pattern. Then knitting will not be difficult, but pleasure.
