It’s easy to find beautiful knitted cardigans with a description on the Internet, but what if the model you like exists only in the photograph? Of course, it's worth a try! Let's make our description of an elegant sand cardigan and tie it together. First of all, please note that the edge and the edge of the sleeve of the product are decorated with bookled yarn that imitates fur. This thread is produced by the Turkish manufacturer Yarn Art in the Davos series. To achieve maximum color matching, we will also knit the model itself from the yarn of this factory, the semi-woolen thread of Charisma.
Of the successful combinations, you can choose shades of caramel and fuchsia, or give preference to lighter tones.
For work, we need:
- circular knitting needles No. 4 and No. 8;
- Charisma yarn - at least 7 skeins;
- Davos yarn - 5 skeins.
Knitted Cardigans - Getting Started
As in any other case, first we knit a sample for the correct calculation of the loops. It is enough to knit 20 loops into 10 rows, this will give a complete picture of the density of the finished product. You can do it with the elastic that you like more and make our knitted cardigans completely individual.
Product back
On circular needles, we gain the number of loops that corresponds to the width of the fabric from the wrist to the wrist. Keep in mind that when wearing the gum stretches slightly, so you should focus not on the standard 140 cm, but a slightly smaller size. We knit an elastic band 20 cm high, after which we begin to gradually narrow the bat sleeve. When the width of the back will correspond to our size, we stop the reduction of loops and we knit a straight cloth of the required length.
It should be borne in mind that knitted cardigans with a sleeve of such a style are suitable for almost any figure, but the depth of the sleeve should be selected individually. In some cases, you can not narrow the model at all, then the back and front will be rectangles.
Before product
The front of our cardigan also fits in from the shoulder, but with the design of a rounded side. Close the loops evenly until the length of the front and back is even. We connect the finished parts of the product with a chain stitch.
Now begins the most difficult and interesting part of the work. The “highlight” that distinguishes our knitted cardigans is the looping mohair around the edge of the model. Yarn "Davos" is very voluminous and requires a special relationship. We start the finish with cuffs, which is technically simpler. The work is done with knitting needles number 8, we collect loops from the edge through one. A sufficient width will be 6-7 cm of binding, otherwise the cuffs will become too heavy and deform the sleeve.
It is better to start tying the product contour from the beginning of the collar, this will make it a little wider without breaking the working thread. Tie the ends of the yarn of different skeins carefully so as not to break the loops of yarn. When closing the last row of the harness, lightly fit it so that the edge is not stretched.
Use a decorative button or tatting cord as a fastener.
From the yarn of the manufacturer "Yarn Art" will turn out beautiful crocheted cardigans. This can be not only a woolen thread, but also thinner acrylic, cotton or even melange for lovers of experiments. I wish you bold creative solutions!
