A simple model for beginners

The task of knitting a sweater for a boy with knitting needles is quite within the reach of beginner knitters who are responsible for work and are ready to do it carefully. For the first large-scale work with yarn, it is better to choose knitting patterns consisting of simple uniform patterns, for example, alternating knitting with the front and wrong side stitches. In our case, we will talk about a chess pattern. Then knitting a children's sweater for a beginner's boy will seem to be a useful and interesting activity, and most importantly - a good training before knitting more complex models.

We knit for sizes:

Knitting density

12 p. X 18 p. = 10 x 10 cm, connected by a chess pattern.

Pattern

Working process

Back

Type 41 (47) 53 loops on the knitting needles and knit between the edge of the chess pattern.

After (41) 46 cm from the initial row, close the middle 9 (11) 13 p. For the throat and finish both sides separately, while closing along the inner edge of the throat in the 2nd p. 1 x 3 p.

After 38 (43) 48 cm from the initial row, close all the loops directly.

Before

Knit like a back, but with a V-shaped neck. To do this, close the middle loop through 26 (30) 34 cm from the initial row and finish both sides separately.

For bevels at the edges of the neck, decrease in every 2 r. 7 (8) 9 x 1 p.

Close the remaining shoulder loops at the height of the back.

Sleeves

Draw 23 loops on the knitting needles for each sleeve and knit between the edges of the checkerboard pattern, while for the bevels, add sleeves in each 6th p.on both sides according to Figure 0 (1) 2 x 1 p., then in each 4th p. also add 11 x 1 p.

• yarn (55% cotton, 45% wool; 50 g / 175 m) - 7 skeins of light gray;
• knitting needles 2.5 and 3;
• circular knitting needles No. 2.5, length 40 cm.

We knit patterns

Rubber

Alternately 2 persons., 2 out.

We knit a structural pattern according to the scheme

The number of loops is a multiple of 4 + 2 p.

1st row: front loops.

2nd row: purl loops.

3rd row: 2 persons., * 2 out., 2 persons. *, Repeat from * to * to the end of the row.

4th row: knit stitches according to the picture.

5th row: front loops.

6th row: purl loops.

7th row: 2 out., * 2 persons., 2 out. *, Repeat from * to * to the end of the row.

8th row: knit stitches according to the pattern.

Repeat these 8 rows.

Knitting density

30 p. X 44 p. = 10 x 10 cm, connected by a structural pattern with knitting needles No. 3.

Pay special attention

The density of knitting must match the specified! Therefore, before starting work, you should knit a sample of the pattern: dial 42 p. And knit 14 cm with a structural pattern.

Then count the loops on the middle section of the fabricated sample 10 cm long: if this segment has more than 30 loops, change the needles to thicker ones, if less - to thinner ones. The main thing is that the density of your knitting corresponds to a given density in width.

Knit the product on the same knitting needles as the pattern. If the instructions indicate only one number, then it applies to all sizes.

Working process

Back

On knitting needles No. 2.5, dial 130 p. And knit with an elastic band (1st row = out. Row, start and end 2 out.).

After 4 cm, go to the knitting needles No. 3 and continue working with a structural pattern according to the instructions.

When the length of the part is 20 cm (finish with the 4th or 8th row), go to the needles number 2.5, knit 5 p. facial, 1 p. purl and 5 p. facial.

Go to the knitting needles No. 3 and knit to the end of the part with the Scythe pattern according to the above diagram.

At a height of 25 cm from the set row, start to form armholes: make a mark in the middle of the back and close on both sides (at the beginning of each row) 2, 2, 1, p. = 120 pips will remain on the knitting needles

Next, knit directly until the height of the armhole from the mark is 19 cm, then close
for the neckline average 28 p. and both sides finish separately.

To round the neck, close from the inner edge at the beginning of each row 3, 2 p.

At the same time, close from the outer edge for the shoulder bevel of the shoulder at the beginning of each row of 13, 14, 14 loops.

Before

Knit like a back, but with a deeper neck. To do this, when until the last closed loops of the shoulder bevel it remains to tie 9 cm (check along the back), close the middle 18 p. And finish both sides separately.

Close from the inner edge to round the neck at the beginning of each row 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 p.
