What do we need for this?

Well, of course, thread and needles. To make sure not to make a mistake with the choice of yarn, think for what time of year you will knit a sleeveless jacket. If it is planned to be worn in summer, then you need to choose a thin yarn, and if in the cold season, then choose a warmer one. You can also look at the description of the model, because it usually indicates what kind of yarn and what number of needles you will need.

If there is no such information, and you are not sure what to stop at, you can consult on this issue with a salesperson in the store. Well, here we have bought everything we need for knitting, now we can look at the model of our future sleeveless sleeveless jacket.

Decide on the model

So, before you start knitting, first of all make a research of a great number of schemes presented on the internet, in order to choose the most suitable pattern for your sleeveless sleeveless jacket.

Try to knit it and see the final result. It happens that after its povyazivaniya it may not like you. And in order to avoid problems with knitting the vest later on, it is better to see how it will look on a small sample. If you are happy with the pattern, you can move on to the next step; if not, try other variants.

Let's knit the sleeveless vest

Once the model is chosen, needles and thread prepared, you can proceed directly to the knitting vest.

Let's knit the back.

These sleeveless models are made to begin with the manufacture of the back, so we will do the same when knitting a vest. Take a needle and a yarn and fill up as many loops as you need for its knitting. After you need to make a rubber band for this during the knitting alternate two left and two right loops.

As soon as the four centimeters of the rubber band will be knitted, proceed to the back cloth itself. It should be done with a straight stitch or the pattern you choose. When knitting, be guided by the pattern you made.

Since the sleeveless model may be fitted, in which case you will need not to forget to first add loops on the sides, and then add, it should be done evenly. Then continue knitting according to the pattern. As soon as the necessary length of the product will be knitted, make the armholes. To do this, cut the loops in every second row on both sides. After that, knit the piece to the end.

You can close the stitches without cutting the neckline and the shoulder line, but if you want the model to look beautiful and fashionable. You'd better not be lazy and do it.

Peculiarities of knitting shelves

Once you have finished with the back, let's knit the front part - the shelves. The main feature of this work is that you need to knit them at the same time - both together. This is necessary so that they turn out equal and identical. To do this, take two balls of thread and one pair of needles. Dial the required number of loops for each half. Next, knitting is performed similarly to the back.

Only you need to remember the following:

• If the sleeveless is provided without buttons, then divide the total number of loops for the back in half and get to work;
• If it will have buttons on it, don't forget to knit a plack with a width of three centimeters for each shelf. The number of stitches in this case will be equal to half the stitches from the back minus four stitches.

The work will be built strictly on the pattern up to the beginning of the neckline. Next proceed to knitting the neckline.

Cut the neckline: step by step actions

It is made simultaneously on both halves. To begin with, attach the resulting product to the pattern and reconcile with it. Next, do the following:

1. Reduce the number of loops at the beginning, middle and end by six loops.
2. The back row of the same thread to the beginning of the neck.
3. Take the second skein and start knitting with it from where the neckline ends.
4. On the right side of the neckline, decrease the number of stitches by two on each side.
5. Continue knitting the row keeping all the stitches intact.
6. In the next row, remove one stitch on each side as well.
7. Check the pattern again and if the length is as you want it, close all the loops.

If you want the neckline to be U-shaped, then close the loops in each row, and if V-shaped, then every two rows.

Putting the vest together

So our knits are ready, now you can join them together. But first of all you can steam them with an iron and some gauze. Fold the items of back and one of the strips so that the front side touches the front side. Be careful to check that all the necklines come together - the neckline, armholes, shoulder bevels and, of course, the sides. Once you see that everything is okay you can start sewing. This can be done in two ways:

• crochet;
• needle.

Once sewn one piece, start sewing the second. Do exactly the same as with the previous one.

Now you can start working the neck and armholes, because they don't look nice like that. You can do it any way you want, but the easiest way is to tie them with a rubber band, where you will alternate one right and one wrong stitch. To do this:

1. Take the stitches out around the neckline and put them on your knitting needles.
2. Take a ball of thread and start knitting an elastic.
3. After you have about two or three centimeters, close the loops.

Do the same with the armholes of the sleeveless jacket. This kind of knitting is good because it is available to beginner needlewomen, and it perfectly repeats the curve line, making your sleeveless sleeveless jacket beautiful and fashionable. That's it now you can try on the resulting product.
