Knitting by many women is not perceived ashard work, but rather, on the contrary, as the possibility of self-expression, the embodiment of his creative beginnings and even as a process of healing from nervous diseases. At a special place here is the manufacture of large things, for example, knitting cardigans with needles.

Cardigans are a certain kind of warmouterwear, large jacket. They are very fashionable today. But It is worth noting that the model of this wonderful clothes came to us from the distant past. True, then the cardigans were embroidered, beautifully decorated with skilful embroidery, and they were worn mostly as ceremonial, exit clothing.

Today, cardigans are worn both as casual outfits, using them for warmth, and as an elegant outfit model. It all depends on the chosen style and material for the manufacture of the product.

In ancient times, cardigans were sewn from dense fabric. Knitting cardigans with needles appeared much later, but very soon became one of the favorite activities of needlewomen. It can be both knitting of cardigans for men, and knitting of female cardigans. Possessing certain skills, it is easy to master knitting with a knitting pattern of cardigans for every taste: both elongated, hanging freely from the shoulders, with one clasp on top, and free from the top, but tightly fastened with a wide belt on the bottom.

By the way, a wide zippered belt from the bottom, veryresembling a short narrow skirt, well suited for women with not very wide hips, but already having a small tummy, for young mummies with a not quite formed waist after childbirth and for pregnant women. After all, knitting cardigans with knittings with a wide belt at the bottom implies a rather loose sagging on top of the model, which, together with the fitting wide belt, gives the impression of being slim.

Start knitting cardigans with knitting needles withpreparation of model patterns. The back is cut out a little longer than the usual jacket, the sleeves are extended downwards. Before the model should provide plowing. That is, the shelves should overlap at the very bottom of 20 centimeters. Patterns laid out on an old blanket on a large table or on the floor.

The main details of the cardigan are supposed to be knit inone thread with fine knitting needles of ordinary viscous facial loops. After the back, shelves and sleeves are connected, the parts are washed and laid out over the patterns, and at the edges they are punctured with sewing pins. In this position, the parts must dry out and take the desired shape.

While the main parts dry, you need to performfinishing: cuffs and belt. These parts are best knitted in two threads with thicker knitting needles “elastic 2X2” so that the cuffs and belt are sewn to the product across the main pattern.

For a belt gain loops in such quantity,what width belt is required for the conceived model. The length of this item should match the bottom of the stitched shelves and back. After the belt is finished, it must be sewn side to the bottom of the product. On the belt there are either large buttons (2 or 3 pieces) or straps with shoe clasps - this depends on the taste and direction in the clothes of the person to whom this thing is intended.

To tie a shawl collar, you should takealready stitched model (without a belt) and dial on the edges of the shelves and neck of the back of the loop on the circular needles. The number of loops should be such that the last on the front side of the collar at both ends were 2 facial loops. Thus, the collar pattern (except the back) is also located across the main pattern. Having knitted 5 rows with an elastic band 2x2, we begin to reduce the collar, making it bevel along the bottom symmetrically on both sides.

To do this, on the collar near the belt we reduce eacha row on one loop, but not extreme, but the fourth, leaving 1 edging and 2 front (edging). This will make the edge of the collar neat, smooth roundness, as if trimmed with an edge strip in two facial loops. When the collar has a width of 20 cm (measured along the length of the elastic), it is necessary to completely close the collar.

This is done like this: two edging facial knit, with the second knit together with two from the collar panel, turn the product and knit in the opposite direction 2 purl and edging. Then the product is unfolded again and the report is repeated: the edging is removed, 1 is face, 3 is together the face and the turn. So you need to knit up to the middle of the neck of the back, then close the remaining two facial ones.

On the spoke remained the second half of the collar. It is also closed, like the first half of the collar, until there are also 2 face loops on the needle. Neat seam must be connected before the first two loops and the remaining two loops.

Under the cardigan you need to wear a blouse, because the tophe swings open. But if in the style to provide an additional fastener holding the shelves, you can wear a model without a blouse. For mature women, it is worth thinking about pants or a tight skirt, combined with a cardigan. Well, young and creative girls can also be bold with bare legs, especially if the cardigan is long enough. And let all the men and boys folded their necks, looking after the beautiful woman, proudly walking in elegant, fashionable, elegant clothes, made by their own skillful hands!
