How to tie a cardigan crochet: charts and description

Coats and cardigans crocheted are a great way to show your good taste and creativity. They are great for changing weather in the off-season, when it is completely unclear whether during the day there will be rain, sun, wind or all at once.

Types of cardigans

Almost every knitter, regardless of experience and available skills, will be able to tie a cardigan crochet. Schemes and descriptions of many models in abundance offer pages of traditional and online publications.

There are several basic types of cardigans:

• Classical.
• Based on the circular canvas.
• From a specially stitched rectangle.

All these models can be made from almost any yarn and using a variety of patterns. Of course, more dense canvases should be used for making warm products, and openwork patterns will be useful to tie a lightweight cardigan crochet. Schemes and descriptions of those and other patterns will follow below.

What do I need to know before I start?

Accepting for the manufacture of a cardigan, coat or jacket, one should take into account their specificity. Working with solid patterns, you need to perform the most accurate pattern. This is especially important for classical models that provide a fitted silhouette, a sleeve hose and a round armhole. Such canvases practically do not stretch, and it is not necessary to count on the fact that a cardigan is brought. In case of an error, the sleeve will remain short, and the uneven edge of the part will be so even after a few washings.

The only effective way to affect the shape of a thick canvas is called steaming with iron and steam. However, this method should not be abused, since after such processing the details become soft and slightly "flattened".

It is much more convenient to work with openwork fabrics and models with a free cut. Wide canvas, lying folds, do not require complex and long-term relief. Sometimes even a pattern is not needed.

Cardigan from thick thread

The picture below shows a product, bound by the simplest pattern (columns without crochet and crocheted) of very thick yarn.

The use of such a combination of materials and technology allows very quickly and efficiently to connect the cardigan crochet. Schemes and descriptions for this model may be required only for beginners, because the cut is extremely simple. Its peculiarity is that the cardigan is knit not from the bottom up, but from the whole fabric, across: from one sleeve to the other.

Work starts from the bottom edge of one of the sleeves. The cuff is made with a very popular pattern with relief columns. They are knitted in the same way as ordinary columns with a crochet, but when forming a new hook, one should not start under the eyelets of the previous row, but under the post itself. The effect of gum is achieved by alternating the relief bars connected before work (facial) and those called purl (at work).

After crocheting, the cuffs begin to be made into sleeves. This is an elementary rectangle. By the way, all the details of such a cardigan have a rectangular shape.

When the length of the sleeve is sufficient, it's time to move on to forming the details of the gear and the backrest. They are knitted simultaneously. For this, additional air loops are recruited from both sides of the upper part of the sleeve and knit the transmission and back sheets.

To form two detachable shelves, you need to do the following:

• When the height of the large fabric becomes equal to the width of one shelf, knitting should be continued only on the part that will be the back.
• Partial build-up of the canvas should be performed until this fragment is 15-17 cm. This is the standard width of the neck.
• Then it is necessary to type such quantity of air loops which is necessary for knitting of the second shelf.
• Carry out further work, checking with the first half of the cardigan.

Openwork cardigan crochet

The knitting patterns for summer and spring products are suitable patterns, which are depicted in the following diagrams.

However, you need to ensure that the fabric is not too soft, otherwise it will inevitably stretch.

With this pattern, you can make a simple cardigan crochet. Schemes and descriptions follow below.

At the heart of such an article is a very large square or rectangle. His knitting can begin at the bottom or side, it does not really matter. After the canvas is ready, its ends should be sewn up to half. The remaining holes will be armholes.

The final stage is the execution of the strapping in circular rows. Thus it is easy to knit jackets and cardigans crocheted. Schemes and descriptions for more complex models can be found quite quickly in various manuals on knitting.
