Stylish convertible vest with knitting needles. Schemes and Description

Increasingly, in stores and fashion magazines you can see the word "transformer". A transformer can be a dress that has many variations of wearing, harem pants, a scarf pipe that turns into a bolero, or a vest. Such things are original and multifunctional. But such clothes can not only be purchased in stores, but also made with your own hands, for example, knit. Let us consider in more detail how to knit a transformer vest with knitting needles (diagrams and description are attached).

How to wear?

Why is such a vest called a transformer? The fact is that in addition to the usual vest, this thing can be worn in many ways. For example, like a scarf-bactus, draping it around the neck, or like a shawl, throwing it over your shoulders.

A transformer vest (you can see a photo of it in the article) will look great in several wearing options:

• Like a regular elongated asymmetric vest, without a fastener, with flowing sides.
• Like a shortened sleeveless jacket, if you tightly wrap the edges around the waist and tie it in a knot.
• Like an elongated sleeveless jacket, if you fix one edge on the opposite shoulder and stab it with a brooch.

If you execute the model in two colors, the product can be draped around the face in different shades.

Selection of yarn and tools

What yarn to knit a transformer vest with knitting needles? Schemes and descriptions usually recommend a specific yarn for each particular model, but in fact you can safely experiment.

Thick woolen yarn is perfect for a winter product. It is very warm, the thing will look stylish, but then the edges of the vest will not flow as if the product was made of thinner yarn. Although there is a way out of this situation: if you prefer bulky yarn, choose knitting needles one or two sizes larger than recommended, then the transformer vest will be not only warm, but soft and airy.

For a stylish accessory for spring and early autumn, thin woolen or thicker cotton yarn is suitable. A thread with lurex or small sequins will look very beautiful. The product can be connected with an openwork pattern, then it can be worn in the summer.

Pattern selection

Such a complex and original thing as a transformer vest, knitted with needles, it is not necessary to overload it with a complex pattern:

1. For thick bulky yarn, especially if it is melange yarn, the garter stitch is perfect - this is when in each row all the loops are knitted face.
2. Simple pearl knitting also looks beautiful. In the first row, alternate one front and one wrong loop, and in the second row, each front knit the wrong loop, and vice versa.

These patterns are good in that they are two-sided, so no matter how you tie the transformer vest, it will look neat.

If a simple monotonous knitting is for you, then you can decorate the product with braids, aranes or lace. The image shows a diagram of a simple but interesting pattern with interweaving. The pattern repeat is seven loops and twenty seven rows.
