Cardigan has become one of the indispensable things in the wardrobe of both women and men. Recently, a knitted cardigan is gaining popularity . It has turned into a convenient and stylish accessory; it is worn in any season of the year. To tie it in the classic version does not present any special problems even for beginner needlewomen. But a knitted cardigan was further developed in the fashion world. It can be made of various lengths, summer or winter, crochet or knitting. The craftswomen who follow the trends of fashion trends even have a knitted cardigan with a hood.
Depending on the chosen cardigan model, it will take from 600 to 1000 grams of thread to knit. First you need to link the sample to calculate the required number of loops for the given sizes, even if there is a detailed description of the work. The expediency of this is due to several reasons: this is a different texture of the threads, and the size of the spokes, and the different density of loops for each craftswoman. Knitting starts from the back. After it is connected, they begin to carry out the shelves, and then to the sleeves. Depending on the design, it is possible to make a product with classic armholes, raglan or without armholes at all. Then, the connected parts are sewn together by hand with a back needle seam. In order for the seams on the shoulders not to stretch, it makes sense to sew corsage braid into them. When processing shelves with sewn trims, you can also sew a braid into the seam, which will prevent the product from sagging and stretching.
If the product is planned to be crocheted, a sample will still be required. In addition, it shows how beautifully the chosen pattern will look. Crocheted cardigan is made according to the same principle as knitting: back, shelves, sleeves. For crocheting summer patterns, it is better to use linen or cotton threads. Depending on the model conceived, size and pattern you will need from 700 to 1500 grams of thread. Openwork knitted cardigan is best done with thin threads in one addition.
Products from separately related motifs look very beautiful and stylish. Of course, such work requires skill and time, but then the result will be pleasing.
Knitted cardigan for the cold season is best done on knitting needles. The volumetric pattern will not only serve as decoration, but will also make the thing warmer. Men's knitted cardigan, as a rule, is knitted on knitting needles. Men prefer to wear such things in the cold season. The product can be voluminous or with a color pattern. It is better to knit models with colored patterns on a knitting machine - this is the way the threads fit the pattern better. Cardigan can be given more originality by performing it in the technique of knitting on a long hook. This technique is rarely owned even by experienced needlewomen. And those who were able to master knitting with a long crochet can knit both a plain cardigan with a three-dimensional pattern, and with a color pattern. In this case, the texture of the drawing will be quite interesting, since the fabric will not resemble either the fabric knitted on the knitting needles or the thing connected with an ordinary hook. Such a cardigan can be connected not only for a man, but also for a woman, and the thing itself will turn out to be dense, warm and beautiful.
