How to knit a coat with knitting needles? Basic rules for beginner knitters

Man-made things allow you to stand out from the crowd. This is especially true in the cold season, when they begin to sell the same type of outerwear. Therefore, many craftswomen want to knit a coat themselves. With knitting needles to create large things faster than crocheting.

Varieties of models

Analyzing the work of the craftswomen, we can distinguish several types of outerwear by:

1. product length: long, short, medium;
2. presence of a collar: with a hood, with a collar and an open neckline;
3. character of sleeves: narrow, long, short, "flashlight", flared;
4. the absence and presence of a belt, buttons;
5. silhouette: straight, flared, unusual shape in the form of rags of different lengths;
6. type of knitting: summer (openwork) and winter (dense pattern).

If you want outerwear to fulfill its main function, then you need to knit a coat with knitting needles with a dense pattern with "braids", "bumps". In addition, you need to pre-purchase fabric for lining and synthetic winterizer. Winter models are similar in their cut to sweaters, jackets, jackets, mini coats.

Please note that clothing can have a decorative function. In this case, choose patterns with an openwork and mesh pattern. Such models are more reminiscent of dresses; they can be worn in the warm season.

Knitted coat with knitting needles for women who are just starting to realize their worth

How do you want to impress others with a large product, but what if you are just starting to learn the basics of knitting? The simplest thing is to present the old thing in a new form! To do this, we perform a series of actions.

1. Find a plain plain coat.
2. Pick up contrasting threads. This is necessary so that the openwork pattern is clearer. To pick up yarn for fabric, just in the store pay attention to the knitted squares above the skeins and attach them to the coat.
3. Buy the right amount of skeins. Specialists will immediately tell you how much yarn to buy for which knit. It is better to get 1-2 balls more to avoid an unpleasant situation when it is impossible to find the right color.
4. Choose a simple openwork pattern and start knitting a coat with knitting needles, periodically applying to the finished product, which is a kind of pattern. Or pick up a motive pattern and stick the blank on your clothes.
5. Combine the knit with the coat. Get a new product!
   

By the way, from the motives you can compose a variety of drawings or play with the color scheme. For some craftsmen, it’s easier to choose a pattern first, and then the threads.

Preparatory work before knitting a coat with knitting needles

1. Learn the properties of threads. To do this, tie the sample, measure its initial dimensions. Wash the resulting rapport, iron it from the wrong side and measure it again. Compare the results. This preparatory stage is needed in order to calculate how many threads, loops (motifs) are needed and see if the knitting is deformed during washing.
2. Make the right patterns. Professional craftswomen do not need to make any patterns for their measurements, beginner knitters need to find magazines that show knitted coats with knitting needles with patterns. In this case, the sample is needed in order to compare the density of its knitting with the template.
3. In practice, knit all kinds of patterns. If you work with schemes, then knit all kinds of rapports. This is necessary not only for counting sizes, but also to eliminate obscure points when reading the scheme.
4. Transfer the finished piece onto full-length paper for easy knitting.
5. In the process, write knitted rows.
6. Connect all the details.
   

If you knit a coat with knitting needles without preparatory steps, errors may occur. For example, when washing the product sits or stretches, during the work you skip rows and change the pattern and so on. And most importantly - devote at least half an hour every day to knitting, otherwise your product will remain loose and abandoned.
