Sweater crocheted: female and male models

A sweater is a warm dress with a high neck, without fasteners and designed for the upper body. However, in everyday life, so often called jumper, and pullovers. In fact, it's the same, but without the neck. The sweater crocheted is infrequent, because the peculiarity of such a cloth can be called a rather high density or, conversely, an openwork. At the same time, there are models that require precisely these qualities. For example, delicate products made of fine mohair or angora.

Crochet: sweaters, mittens, socks and everything else

A knitted sweater looks more traditional than a hook-shaped sweater . In addition, his canvas is softer. However, you can also tie a sweater with a crochet. With limited possibilities, or if necessary, using a particular pattern, the hook may well replace the spokes. The craftsmen also cope with more complex tasks: knit crocheted socks, mittens, gloves and other products.

First of all, you should take care of the correct choice of yarn and pattern. Crochet crochet sweater will be successful if the thread is not thicker than 300 m / 100 grams. Ideally, this figure is 400 m / 100 grams. With this thickness, it is possible to apply a large number of patterns without the risk of obtaining a hard, like a shell, or too laced canvas.

A good combination for knitting a sweater can be considered the content of 40-80% of natural fibers in the filament. A smaller amount is acceptable if the future product is planned to be worn in the spring or autumn. If there are 90% or more wool fibers, the fabric will be uniquely warm, but in places of constant friction it can turn into felt (underarms, lower edge from the side where the bag touches). Sadly, this is typical even for the best quality yarn.

Choosing a Pattern

Depending on the model of the product, choose the type of pattern.

• Solid.
• Conditionally continuous.
• Openwork.
• A combination of several ornaments.

Often as the dense patterns use the most simple methods of crocheting: crochets without a crochet and with a crochet. When knitting the fabric, horizontal strips are formed in this way. This is clearly seen in the photo, which depicts a man's sweater, crocheted bound.

Conditionally continuous patterns are called with a small number of openwork openings.

They are suitable for knitting sweaters from thin warm yarn (for example, mohair or angora). Openwork patterns are used as a basis for knitting decorative sweaters or as an element combined with dense ornaments. The latter option is often used to tie a female sweater.

Preparing for knitting

If desired, you can change the direction of knitting of any pattern, and then the strips will be located vertically, but such models require the attention of the master. Crochet large products crochet will be more convenient on a pre-prepared pattern.

Experienced craftsmen recommend starting work with making a pattern pattern. After the control sample is connected, it should be measured and counted how many loops are 10 cm in length and how many rows need to be tied to get a 10 cm high cloth. By compiling a mathematical proportion, you need to calculate how many loops or rapports you need to knit each part . These preparations are needed not only for dense, but for any ornaments.

Sweater crochet: a pattern of dense patterns

The main condition for the successful application of dense patterns is relatively loose knitting. This is necessary to obtain a softness and some elasticity of the fabric of the product. Otherwise, the female crochet sweater or other product will be associated with a similar armor. If you can not adjust the density, you can use the hook two sizes larger than recommended for the chosen thickness of the yarn. Below are diagrams of convenient patterns for knitting sweaters. Most of these schemes consist of elementary components and are quite simple to perform.

Their convenience is that they are easy to remember and quickly knit. In addition, such patterns allow you to easily carry out cuts to remove the armholes, throats and hoses of the sleeves.

Men's sweaters

To tie a crocheted male jumper, it is important to provide the features of each model. As a rule, men perceive with a bang the simplest patterns and modest colors of yarn. So here the master's fantasies have nowhere to go. However, there are several options for knitting the sleeve and neck. The most popular is the classical vtatchnoy sleeve. Some knitters do not make an armhole, or oats in the manufacture of male models, but such products do not sit well on the figure and look amateur.

The neck can be tied with the same pattern as the rest of the details, or simulate a rubber band knitted together. In the photo above, the neck of a man's sweater, the cuffs of his sleeves and the bottom of the product are connected in this way. The following diagram illustrates the implementation of this technique.

The main secret is that to form a column, the hook does not enter the top of the column of the previous row, but goes directly behind it. Depending on which side of the canvas comes the hook (from the front or from the back), the column appears convex or recessed.

The use of such bars allows imitating even braids (arans) connected by spokes.

Knitting crocheted female sweaters

That's where the real space for the imagination of the masters. Knit a female sweater crochet can be made from almost any yarn and using any pattern (focusing on common sense and its good taste).

Sweaters with the same pattern or incorporating several types of ornaments look equally good. There are quite a few variants of pattern distribution. In order for the product to be warm, it is necessary to use patterns of dense patterns for making the main parts of the parts. Openwork can be placed at the bottom of the sleeves or main transferring sheets and back.
