Wardrobe of any woman will not be complete if it does not have a vest. Regardless of age, the female representative with the help of such a detail as a tank top, skillfully emphasizes her strengths and hides the flaws, if any. And knitted patterns remain fashionable at all times. The variety of shapes and patterns will help to make any outfit unique and stylish. So, let's figure out where to start knitting vests for girls.
Choice of model and required materials
The first thing to do is select the model that you are going to tie. After that, you can proceed to the selection of yarn and taking measurements. The quality of the threads depends on the model. If this is a summer option - choose natural materials (cotton, bamboo, linen), and if the vest is designed for winter - woolen and half-woolen, acrylic yarn is also suitable.
What measurements you need to take, also depends on the style of the future vest. Traditionally, this is the length, width of the armhole and girth of the hips or waist.
Knitting vest for girls
Let's start by knitting a simple model for a girl, and then more complex. The photo shows an example of a vest that fits very easily.
We start with a set of loops on the knitting needles, their number should correspond to the value of half the circumference under the chest. It will be a back. You can perform a yoke with any embossed or dense openwork pattern. If it is difficult for you, you can knit with a front stitch or elastic. Do not forget to make reductions, reaching the armhole and neckline. Then you need to finish each shoulder separately.
Shelves need to be connected two - right and left. Now we sew the shoulder and side seams, and then on the bottom of the product we raise the loops to long knitting needles and knit, periodically performing uniform increases until the desired length is reached. The more additions you make, the more magnificent the lower part of the vest will turn out.
After the vest is ready, you need to tie the edges of the shelves, the neck and bottom of the product, for example, with a crochet using the "crustacean step" or "shell" technique, and on the front of it you need to make a decorative fastener. It can be satin ribbons, knitted cords or a beautiful button. A buttonhole can be made with a hook. Now you know that knitting a vest for a girl with knitting needles is very easy.
Vest for the girl with an ornament
Another sleeveless model implies a classic style and knitting of a complex pattern. The photo shows an example of a very bright ethnic-style vest.
You can wear this in combination with a turtleneck, jeans or a skirt. To knit it, you can use a variety of leftover yarn or pick the colors you need in the store. With a wide variety of colors, it is best to purchase 50-gram skeins of thread. Such a vest, knitted for a girl, will require more time, accuracy and perseverance from you than the previous version.
We also start knitting from the back. Having reached the armhole, we make reductions, then a neckline and finish each shoulder separately. Similarly, we knit a shelf. In the given example, there will be two of them, since the vest has a fastener. But you can tie the model without buttons. Please note that models with a jacquard pattern turn out to be denser and worse stretch. Therefore, taking measurements, make a small margin. Having connected all the details, we sew first the shoulder, then the side seams. We finish the edges with a hook or knitting needles. Everything - knitted vest for a girl! Wear it with pleasure.
Knitting vests for women
It is very pleasant to please your daughters and granddaughters with knitted new things, but you should not forget about yourself. Indeed, if a self-made vest appears in your wardrobe, you will not only look beautiful and stylish, but also hear a lot of compliments addressed to your skilled hands. Agree that this is very nice. Let's look at a few options that involve knitting a vest with knitting needles for beginner needlewomen.
Such a vest, as in the photo, has a classic style, and knitting it is quite easy. It is carried out by front stitch, has a round neckline and a fastener on a shelf. To knit such a model, you will need about 4 skeins of yarn, knitting needles and buttons.
The knitting pattern of this vest is similar to the previous version with an ornament. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the size. To do this, you can make a pattern or use as a sample any thing that fits well on you from the wardrobe. Finishing the neck, armholes and bottom of the product can be done by tying several rows with single crochet columns.
If for you the option with a clasp is difficult to execute, you can imitate it. To do this, in the center of the shelf, tie the band with a garter stitch, and then sew buttons on it.
Long vest for women
Another version of the vest for women is different in length and pattern. The photo shows the model in gray.
It fits in the same way as previous models, only longer and without a fastener. The pattern for such a vest is better to choose openwork. This will give her lightness and airiness. The color can be any, linen, cotton or bamboo threads. This model looks very good in combination with tight trousers and a T-shirt in a contrasting color or one tone different.
Models for babies
Our young women of fashion also love to dress up, and their wardrobe will only win if a warm and comfortable sleeveless jacket appears in it.
For example, such as in the photo. For warm spring days or summer cool evenings, you can knit a bright and stylish vest with a hood made of thick or fluffy yarn.
Textured yarn itself already creates a special style, so knitting does not require the use of a pattern.
Facial surface or
garter stitch will be enough. This vest with knitting needles for a girl is universal. Having performed it in a neutral color and using a zipper as a fastener, this can also be knitted for a boy.
Please note that this model can be made in the same way as the previous ones. A distinctive feature will be the hood. But he will not cause you difficulties in manufacturing.
We knit a hood for a vest
This is a regular rectangle, the long side of which is equal to the total length of the neckline (and the back and shelves). It is attached to the neck with one side, and the other is folded in half and stitched. On the free edge, you can tie an elastic band or perform any other finish. As a fastener, you can use buttons, zippers or decorative buckles. So the vest for the child is made with knitting needles without much time and effort.
Vests for the smallest fashionistas
And here is a description of the model for baby girls. She knits according to the scheme described above, but one shoulder on the back must be made longer. At its end, you need to make a buttonhole. And on the belt insert a satin ribbon or knitted lace with pompons. It looks cute and very stylish.
The photo shows a knitted vest for the girl, made with knitting needles in the front surface in cold striped pastel colors. You can choose a different color scheme and ornament, or make the thing a one-color with a relief pattern. It will take very little time for such a vest, and the result will surely please you and others.
Teenage option. Fashionable and modern.
Teenagers also love fashionable vests. Of course, the choice of model for them should be approached especially carefully. How do you like this option? Short, like a bolero, a vest with a hood. A teenage girl will love her. In it, it will look original, stylish and profitable to stand out from the crowd.
For knitting we use the same pattern as before. The hood can be made separately, but you can raise the hinges along the neckline and tie one cloth with a vest. As for the clasp, large buttons or other decorative elements are suitable for it. Wearing such a tank top is best with things in a sporty or casual style. For example, with a shirt and jeans or with a T-shirt and shorts. The color combination may be different. With a plain vest, you can wear a colored shirt, for example, as in the photo - in a cage. And if the vest you have connected has a bright color, then neutral
pastel colors in combination with it will only benefit. But it’s best to ask the future hostess of the sleeveless jacket about the desired shade. Having listened to her wishes, it will be easier for you to please your daughter or granddaughter. Indeed, most often the taste preferences of different generations do not coincide.
