Knitting has long been considered a boring activity. Today it is fashionable, exciting and relevant. Self-made clothing or accessories is a sign of original taste and non-standard preferences, and not a lack of budget.
In this aspect, an interesting method will be considered, thanks to which you can quickly knit women's sleeveless jackets with knitting needles (with a description and a photo).
The beauty of garter stitch
At the first stages of knitting, everyone masters the same simple tricks: performing the front and back loops. This is necessary, since all patterns without exception are combinations of these elements.
The vest shown in the following photo ( women's sleeveless jacket ) is knitted with so-called shawl knitting.
The sequence of formation of such a pattern is to knit all the loops in all rows only with the front ones. As a result, the canvas is voluminous and rather dense. Horizontal furrows are clearly visible on it, but there are no vertical furrows at all.
The specifics of the garter knit can be called the fact that it is permissible to start its implementation from the very first row. The resulting web will not curl from below or deform in any other way. This feature of the pattern can be used to knit the lower or side trims for other products.
Modern vest model
Knitted simple women's tank tops with knitting needles (a description of the knitting process can be found below) look like a rectangle with armholes in the form of slots. As a rule, the fastener on such products is not fastened. The edges of the vest can freely hang, be fixed with a belt, brooch or pin. However, if desired, you can sew one large or several small buttons on knitted women's sleeveless jackets. With a description of such products, you need to be careful not to miss the performance of the loops.
The appearance of sleeveless jackets is directly affected by the thickness and composition of the yarn used. If you apply a fairly thick thread (less than 100 m / 100 grams), you get a very massive and stiff fabric. An example is the following photo, which depicts a woolen tank top for women (knitting with a stocking pattern).
The remaining products are made of thinner material, the thickness of which is in the range of 200-350 m \ 100 grams. These are the optimal yarn parameters for most warm fabrics.
Sleeveless women: knitting with needles is simple
The direction of knitting in this product is longitudinal.
This means that the set of rows of loops will be located not from below, but from the side. To find out how many loops you need to dial, you should perform a control sample. For the thickness of the thread indicated above, the knitting density will be as follows: 10 cm is equal to 22 loops.
Thus, to get a rectangular part with a width of 50 cm, you need to dial 110 loops (plus two loops on the edge). Next, the women's sleeveless jacket for beginners knits as follows:
- In all the front and back rows, knit all the loops with the front.
- The first part of the part (left shelf) is 30-32 cm high.
- The design of the armhole: knit 25 loops with a working thread, then change it to contrast and perform the following 20-22 cm (44-48 loops) with it. Then return the working thread and knit the remaining loops with it. In this case, the ends of the contrasting thread should not be fixed, just tighten them.
- Backrest: knitting the fabric to a height of 37-40 cm.
- A similar design of the second armhole.
- Completion: knitting the right shelf of the same height as the left.
When the work is finished, all the loops must be carefully and not tightly closed.
Armholes and harness
At the last stage, you need to carefully pull out the contrasting thread, which was connected 44-48 loops of the armhole. In parallel, loose loops should be worn on the knitting needles so that they do not come down and broaches do not form.
The result is two knitting needles with loops worn on them. They all need to be closed in any convenient way.
The finished product can be tied around the contour with columns without a crochet or left in the form as it is. I must say that when using a thick thread, strapping is undesirable. She looks too rude.
Sleeveless alternatives
Here was described the simplest sleeveless jacket of medium length with a minimum collar. In fact, this vest is very convenient for modeling. It can be made long, then the shelves will sag corners.
Sleeveless jackets with a high collar also look interesting.
It is turned away and laid on shoulders or worn crumpled.
Hoods deserve special mention.
Such a detail allows you to create very attractive women's sleeveless jackets with knitting needles, with a description of the problems should not arise, since the hood has a rectangular shape. In fact, it is a long collar sewn on top.
