A universal sweater hook: a diagram and a sequence of work performance

To connect a jacket to spring or summer under the force of a knitter with any experience. Let such a categorical statement do not frighten newcomers. They do not need to strain their imagination and try to create the most complicated masterpiece at the limit of possibilities. There are a lot of patterns and patterns that are extremely easy to manufacture and still produce impressive results.

In order to connect such a product as a crochet hook (the circuit may be solid or openwork), it is important to select the right yarn, calculate the rapports of the pattern and observe the specified dimensions. All these stages will be covered in due order in this article by the example of two products of varying degrees of complexity.

A simple jacket-rectangle

The photo shows the most simple model of a sweater that you can imagine.

In its basis - a rectangle, sewn in a special way. By and large, this subject can be called more like a cardigan. However, it can also be called a jacket. This is often done by women of fashion, bearing in mind that this is clothing for the upper part with a detachable piece of gear. In fact, any sweater hook (the scheme does not matter) assumes the presence of two shelves with or without a buckle. As a rule, its length reaches the waist or slightly below. Models are longer to be called cardigans. In modern magazines, blouses are also often called pullovers, sweaters and even tops.

In order to get a quality and beautiful sweater for beginners (the scheme of the used pattern is given below), you need to take measurements. Must be clearly marked:

• The length of the product (DI).
• The length of the sleeve (DR).
• The width of the back, the distance between the blades (AL).
• Sleeve circumference (OP).

It is also necessary to make a control sample, according to which the jacket will be calculated.

Beginning of work

A chain of air loops, from which they begin knitting patterns, in the finished sweater will be located along the bottom edge.
The length of the first row (like all the others, because we knit a rectangle) is equal to the planned length of the sleeve, multiplied by two and added to the width of the back (ДРх2 + ШС). Such an openwork sweater crochet - the scheme can be different - plays a role as a warm product, and purely decorative. Its purpose depends on the pattern and selected yarn: wool, cotton, viscose.

Stapling and Strapping

The rectangle must be knit until its height is equal to the planned length of the product (DI). At this stage, work on the scheme ceases. The item needs to be steamed by iron with steam. It is necessary to influence the canvas exclusively with steam, without placing the soleplate on it. Then the rectangle is folded along the long edge and the short sides from the open edges are sewn to the fold line. Unscrewed leave only a piece of cloth, the length of which is equal to half the sleeve girth (OP / 2).

At the final stage, open edges of the cloth are tied with several rows of a dense pattern. If we are talking about how to knit warm sweaters with crochet (schemes use more dense ones), then the strapping can look just like pillars without a crochet. When the product is intended for use in the summer, the bar becomes an independent decoration. Often the main canvas is performed with some simple pattern, and the strapping is made wide and delicate. Its upper part becomes a collar. This distinguishes both summer and warm sweaters crochet (schemes use different, but the model is one).

Blouse from motives

The level of complexity of such models is slightly higher than the previous one. Here, the canvas is formed by stitching separately related motifs. They are of different shapes, but for simplicity an example with square fragments will be used. Such a crochet hook (the motif scheme can be completely different) perfectly serves as a cape on a top, tank top, sarafan or dress. Most often the material for making such models is cotton or flax. Although mixed types of yarn also look good: cotton with acrylic, polyamide, microfiber or nylon.

Below are pictures of variants of patterns for knitting squares.

Working with motives

The production of fragments starts from the center, with three or five initial air loops, which are closed in a ring. Next, the work is done in a circle. Each row starts with a lifting loop and ends with a connecting column. When making motives, it is of great importance to observe the symmetry of each element and to preserve its flat form. A frequent error of newcomers is the uneven tension of the thread. The result of too tight knitting is a domed, convex motif, and the weak one is overly wide edges (ruches).

Here, the fragments are interconnected, but the side seams and sleeves remain uncrossed. This scheme is the most common. In fact, here you can observe four large rectangles: details of the transmission, back and sleeves. An interesting idea is the use of two different squares in one product. In this case, they were placed in staggered order, but you can apply the arrangement of strips. The gear part can be detachable, then you should plan knitting the straps with buttonholes. When the seams are completed, the product looks like this.

The harness along the bottom edge and on the sleeves will give the sweater an accuracy and completeness. Such a summer sweater crochet (the scheme can contain large holes or be almost continuous) is very practical, it becomes indispensable during the off-season.
